Art commissioned from @used-organs. Please please please comm them if you're looking for some fantastic art. They were a pleasure to work with and are just lovely all around.
Since I've been sharing some pieces of Torque here and there, I figured I better have a general breakdown of them.

General Hunting (non-obsession):
+ Plays the part of stranded motorist. Incapacitates anyone who stops to help them. Will then take their identification, crudely modify it, and assume their identity until next victim.
+ Takes anyone they have incapacitated into their old vehicle and takes it off-road. General torture and murder within the confines of the vehicle. Cleans up self then relocates to victim's vehicle.
+ Will use victims cards and cash to get by until next victim.
Background:
+ Views people less as people and more as doors. Some doors need to be torn down (killed) in order to get where you need to be. Other doors can be... coaxed open.
+ Constantly travels. Keeps their few belongings in a tote bag so they can relocate or change vehicles quickly.
+ Very good at playing background/unassuming character. Can be charming and conversational when they need to be, but prefer to sit quietly and observe.
+ Travels from town to town until they find a new Obsession. They have no set type and anyone could spark their interest.
+ Obsessions are kept in a small photo album (single photo) and labeled with first name, last initial. Small details such as favorite food, good memories, etc may be written in the space around their photo.
+ They will seek to integrate themself into this person's life and ingratiate themself to the Obsession. Torque shows them affection at their preference level, is accommodating and supportive. Often buys gifts or pays for dinner (using victim's credit cards).
+ Will remove annoyances from Obsession's life (id est, killing annoying bosses, coworkers, strangers, family members), slowly eliminating those between them and their Obsession. Genuinely loves their Obsession and feels this is the best way to ensure their returned love.
+ Often will reveal their chosen name to their Obsession and provide an excuse for their cover name.
+ Inevitable confrontation with Obsession upon Obsession realizing Torque's killings. Will either kill Obsession or Obsession will attempt to kill them. If Obsession attacks with intent to kill (up to and including wounding Torque), Torque will retreat and flee the area.
+ Current Obsession's page will be updated. If they draw a heart around the Obsession's photo, that Obsession is still alive and has attempted to kill Torque. If crossed out with a black X, they were killed.
+ Holds no grudge against Obsessions that attack them with intent to kill. Is pleased to be their Obsession's "first door".
