[b]Name:[/b] Dylan Moore
[b]Age:[/b] 23 
[b]Gender: [/b] Male
[b]Position:[/b] Patient 

[b]Diagnosis:[/b] Catatonic schizophrenia 

[b]Personality:[/b] Dylan's not a bad kid; he's just a little eccentric. He's become something of a social butterfly since coming to the hospital. He'll happily talk at you about nothing for hours. He's goofy, a little nonsensical, but tries his best to be a good person. He's supposed to be on his medication, but rarely actually takes it. The struggle to get him to swallow his pills has become an increasingly long, tedious, and often fruitless task. When on the meds, he can pass as a regular guy. He does normal things, like shower, eat, watch TV, ect. When off the meds, he's a much more colorful character. Dylan often suffers delusions, visual and auditory hallucinations, paranoia, and even violent episodes should his hallucinations make him feel threatened. He bares the classic symptoms of schizophrenia: he piles layers upon layers of clothes on his body, shows little interest in hygiene (thankfully, his nurses make sure he washes regularly), he's forgetful, creates sudden, inappropriate emotional outbursts, and exhibits jumbled language.

[b]Other:[/b] Dylan suffers from a subtype of schizophrenia called catatonic schizophrenia. This type of schizophrenia is characterized by extremes of behavior. At one end of the extreme the patient cannot speak, move or respond - there is a dramatic reduction in activity where virtually all movement stops, as in a catatonic stupor.
At the other end of the extreme they are overexcited or hyperactive, sometimes mimicking sounds or movements around them - often referred to as catatonic excitement.
Dylan may be walking around, doing nothing out of the ordinary when an episode occurs. He will freeze, his muscles tense, in whatever position he was in last. When in a stupor, he will resist movement; if he is re-positioned, he will retake the position he was in before disturbed. Sometimes his body is so rigid, he can't be moved at all. Other times, he will repeat the same movement over and over again, like a broken record, until the episode is over. The episodes can last hours, days, even weeks. Medical intervention is sometimes necessary. There is a wide array of other strangeness that I can't be bothered to describe.

He has a huge big dorky crush on one of the nurses. When Dylan was still rather new, he'd purpose cause a scene until they gave up and called her in. He's gotten better about it. 
Due to his paranoia, Dylan refuses to eat anything that isn't prepackaged and opened by HIM. He's afraid someone's poisoned it otherwise.

[b]Appearance: [/b] He's a tall and lanky guy, standing at 6'3" and weighing around 163 pounds. His curly brown hair is always messy, hanging in his his brown eyes. He often has heavy bags under his eyes from lack of sleep. He dresses in a rather sloppy fashion, his scrubs always wrinkled, and doesn't seem to care much about how he appears to others. He's not particularly gorgeous, but he's not really ugly either. With some work, he could be decent.

[b]History: [/b]
Dylan was raised by a single father, the word 'raised' used very loosely. His father never had much time for his son, and by the time he was 9 or 10, his father hardly came home at all. Dylan didn't go to school, he didn't grocery shop, and he certainly didn't take care of the house. He survived by sneaking into his neighbor's house and stealing food right from their kitchen. Having never really been taught right from wrong, he saw nothing wrong with this. It was a miracle that he could even do simple things, like carry on a conversation.

Around the age of 10, he began showing signs of schizophrenia, but no one was around to catch it. He proceeded as if the voices he heard and things he saw were perfectly normal. This continued until he was 19, when someone saw him lifting the neighbor's sliding glass door off the track to sneak in their kitchen. The police were called and jig was up. His father was tracked down and arrested for neglect, and Dylan was taken into custody. The house he had been living in was a total wreck: garbage on the floor, broken glass in the windows, writing on the wall, and vermin crawling everywhere. 

The neighbors decided not to press charges, seeing how pitiful the guy was. He was sent off to the hospital to get treated, and has been there since. He's made a lot of progress since them. He's gone from a barely socialized, introverted, and aggressive person to the halfway decent patient he is today.
