Varies by character. Lynch kills calmly, though without delight and with
some regrets afterward, and tries to find non-lethal methods when he can
(gel rounds and tasers): but if he has to, he does without hesitation.
Quinn prefers to leave people alive to realise how thoroughly she scored
a joke at their expense: humour only works with an audience.
Easy is a homicidal psychopath: she doesn't look for opportunities, but
she's killed people because they were coughing in the seat behind her at
the cinema before... She just doesn't see the problem.
