Celine Lowe, 18

Personality: Celine is nothing short of grim. Her outlook on the world could be described, quite childishly, as doom and gloom. She is known for her depressing nature, even causing a few breakdowns in other patients from speaking out about her views on the world. These views are that it is scary, dark and nothing good can come in the future. She doesn’t see herself as living, she sees herself as walking dead. This isn’t a view she has solely for herself, she doesn't think anyone has a chance at life and is not afraid to say it.
However outside of the dreary, misguided teen is a very intelligent young woman. Celine is apt with a pen and paper. She is a poet, and a darn good one at that. Although most of her poetry revolves around darkness, madness and death it is still very good all the same. She keeps a small diary of poems hidden in her mattress, so they don’t find them and think she needs more medicine due to their dark nature. Other than writing, she also enjoys to read and prefers solitude over companionship. She is cold as ice on the outside however if you are able to push your way in she is an open book, perhaps too trusting of those she believes deserve it. This is a trait that has gotten her in trouble a lot in the past.
Celine is also a rebel, usually fighting against the team of doctors and nurses that are there to “help” the patients, refusing to take her medicine and even getting locked away one or two (or five) times. She continues to fight against there control, and demands constantly to be allowed freedom over her own mind. Something she has not yet accomplished, but is dead set on doing.

“Psychiatric” condition: Celine is diagnosed with severe depressive disorder with a tendency towards self-mutilation. The doctors also have her on large dosages of anti-anxiety medication due to several severe, and seemingly random, breakdowns.

Actual 'Gifts': Celine is a clairvoyant. She has the ability to see the future when touching certain objects or people. This gift, or perhaps the better description would be curse, makes her appear to have depressive thoughts. Unbeknownst to her these thoughts of darkness and horror at actually small snippets of the future, hardly just fragments of things that are to come anywhere in the world. They keep her so heavily medicated due to these so called "intrusive thoughts" that they come through only as a vague feeling of wrongness.
If Celine finds out about her gift/curse she will learn a grim truth. Though she may be able to tell the future, this future is set in stone. Any attempt to change an event will result in a consequence equal to, or greater than, the severity of the original.
History: She is unsure of her past, save for a single nightmare that she has had every night for as long as she can remember. The nightmare depicts a man and a woman, the two are dead and hanging in the entry way of the house. The nightmare always ends right as the woman opens her eyes.

@Verisimilitude Only suggestion is to elaborate a little more on the weaknesses or limitations of her abilities. Also remember they do not know about their powers yet so talk about how it coincides with the psychiatric issues. Other than that I love the 'bad girl' attitude!

Name: Gustav Adelbert Friedkind

Nickname: Wichtel

Age: 17

Looks:

Personality: Spiteful, vicious, petty, manipulative and hungry for attention of a very specific sort. In his late teens Gustav, who grew up in a very strict and conservative family suffered through a serious depression and a mental breakdown followed by a total failure at a school exam, which he took INCREDIBLY seriously. The prolonged period of apathy and sadness came to end with the discovery and horrible misinterpretation of the works of Nietzsche, as Gustav came to understand the messages author conveyed as an explicit permission to do whatever he wanted and was ready to do. At first, of course, the rudeness, petty mischef and denial of authority happened solely to attract attention and pity from the society, but as he failed to achieve the sort of attention he desired, Gustav devolved into more and more lowly and vicious deeds, which, eventually, resulted in his detention - in the most simple words, after doing really bad at his exams, Gustav threw a temper tantrum that went on for two years and isn't about to stop anytime soon. Probably. Maybe. He doesn't really remember why he is in the asylum, but he knows for sure that earlier he had made some stupid mistakes - and that all of the world is against him and hates him. Now he only makes serious moves when he is ready and completely sure of success, in meanwhile attempting to secure a good standing with orderlies and doctors through cooperation and very plausible feigning of accepting his medications. Interestingly, he is also genuinely nice to most of other inmates - since they are in this dreadful place too, they are hated by this world just as much as him!

“Psychiatric” condition: Interestingly, Gustav actually has a completely real, not made-up psychopathic personality disorder - he REALLY does not feel many things other people feel and he actually is uninhibited by morale and ethics in the way sane people are. He honestly admits the existence of his ilness to the good doctors - though he tries to conceal the extent and seriousness of his condition - and is always cooperative, prepared to fight and overcome his illness and ready to help the medical personnel in any way he can.

Actual 'Gifts': Gustav posesses two gifts. First one is the ability to... be unnoticeable. It makes people around to simply not register him with their perceptions, whether he is actively hiding or standing right in front of them - peoples' brains simply strike him out of the enviroment. This extends towards any sort of influence Gustav exterts on the world - i.e. if he opens a door or window while someone watches, they will simply consider that it was opened by a draft. In the cases when an occurence cannot be explained rationally, people still can't link it to Gustav, whom they still can not notice - for example, they will simply SUDDENLY understand that they are bleeding from a knife wound or have their arm broken or somehow ended up losing their keys despite gripping them firmly in their fist.
Currently, the power activates subconsciously when Gustav is really afraid of being seen or noticed and any sort of active actions on his side might disturb the effect his power has on people. As his ability and understanding of it grows, he will be able to uphold it no matter what and turn it on and off selectively and at-will.
The weakness of his power is that as of now, he evaporates from the perceptions of ALL people when it is active - for example, neither other pedestrians nor the driver of a speeding car will see him if he crosses the road and nobody at all will notice him if he stands in the line of fire between a shooter and his actual target.

Gustav's second, seemingly unrelated ability is that he is a supernaturally good mimic - after some practice and study, he can learn to emulate a person's voice so precisely that he can masquerade as their own thoughts, not to speak about actually impersonating that person over the phone or scaring people with lion-like roaring.

Crush: Open
Other: Open

Roommate: If it's not a PC then i'd like to have Sammy, a bald guy with a vicious underbite who spends every 15 minutes of every hour standing against the eastern wall of whatever room he is in with his arms outstretched in the shape of a cross. His yet-unknown power is being able to quickly regenerate by consuming copious amounts of raw meat and to deadlift two metric tons. Nobody tells any inmates why he is in the asylum or what's his disorder. He and Gustav are good friends.

Name: Isadora Fey
Nickname: Isa
Age: 19
Looks: Isadora is a thin and petite albino girl, she has bright crimson eyes and long, white silver hair that reaches her waist. She has a thin face with defined cheekbones and noticeable dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep. She is very sickly looking to the point she almost looks breakable, when she wears all white, many people comment how ghostly she looks. At the moment she is about 5 months pregnant.



Personality: Isadora is very shy and gentle, very frightened around people she doesn't know very well and is naive to the point where she could easily be taken advantage of. She is usually always polite and it is extremely hard to make her angry, however she can let emotions get the best of her, especially when it deals with someone close to her (usually animals). She is a very emotional, sensitive person and is known to cry easily. While she is weak physically, her spirit is strong and her will nearly unbreakable.

“Psychiatric” condition: Anorexia Nervosa, Depression with Insomnia

Actual 'Gifts': Has the ability to speak with animals via a psychic link and can manipulate her pheromones. However if she synchronates completely with an animal's mind, she can lose herself and become feral, attacking anyone or anything in her path. The animal that she has synched with also exhibits the same behavior. She also doesn't realize how strong her pheromones are while she's pregnant and is able to even control men with them, causing them to become protective of her and in severe cases mindless puppets, however once she gives birth the peek of power fades and she loses this ability.

History: Isadora was raised by a friend of the family and he would abuse her in anyway imaginable, however she believed he did this because he loved her and would do her best to please him. A month passed and she noticed that she couldn't eat much without getting sick and started to slowly starve herself which eventually took a horrible turn to make herself feel more beautiful than she felt. She slowly started to stop sleeping normally and would have dreams about talking with the dogs her guardian owned. They would tell her to kill her guardian so she and they could be free. This along with the anorexia and abuse, made her paranoid and she began sleeping even less and the dreams became even more real. She eventually noticed herself gaining weight that she couldn't get rid of and her guardian released that she was pregnant, in hopes of keeping this a secret, he tried to get her to miscarry, however she blacked out and when she came to... Found him dead, bitten by the dogs and by her. She was blamed for his murder, the dogs put down, and sent to a local asylum to help her "tortured soul."

Name: Gabriel Xerxes
Nickname: Gabe
Age: 20
Looks:

Personality: Gabriel is an optimist and generally a very hapy person. He's always willing to go out and try to be friends with anyone who will let him talk. Despite being in this hospital for some times now Gabe has always kept his spirits up, assisting the doctors when he can and happily doing what they ask. Gabe is a very trusting person, and they're doctors, why would they lie?
“Psychiatric” condition: Bipolar disorder, delusions of grandeur. He easily believed this as he vaguely remembers having a cousin who had the same disorder.
Actual 'Gifts': Telekinesis and Flight. The flight power is really just an off-shoot of telekinesis, only used on himself and not another object. These skills are similar to lifting and running respectively, so in the beginning they will be very limited.
History: Gabe often has dreams about flying through a house. The doctors tell him that this is a common dream people have, and it's an effect of the mania his bipolar disorder causes. But he doesn't exactly believe them, it feels more like a memory and sometimes he thinks he really can fly. Of course he doesn't say this to them, they'd just blame it on his delusions of grandeur and give him more meds.

Name: Katherine King

Nickname: Kit or Kat or both, occasionally KK or Kiki, doesn't really care too much

Age: 16

Looks: Long, bushy natural red hair and bright blue eyes, pale but not unhealthy skin. Short, 5'2" on a good day, very petite build. Freckles with sun.



Personality: An interesting combination of incredibly shy, incredibly friendly, incredibly hyper, and rather mischievous that ends up being incredibly adorable. She can go from hiding from you, to jumping on you, to hiding from you again in the span of about 15 seconds. She is always looking at everything as if it is something amazing, becoming excited just that there's something to look at. Once she knows you, she drops the shyness, letting the rest of her character out. Unfortunately, the medications have dulled her personality to the point of depression.

“Psychiatric” condition: ADHD, Kleptomania, Hoarding, Claustrophobia, Pica, Depression - She actually does display the characteristics of all but the depression in her normal personality, although the doctors make it out to be much worse than it is. Most of it is a result of her powers. The Pica is generally just trying to eat raw meat.

Actual 'Gifts': She can turn into a fox! She can, with practice, switch between human and fox at will. Her fox senses bleed over into her human form, giving her heightened night vision, hearing, and smell. She can understand canines very well and other mammals a little - like being fluent in Spanish and knowing how to say 'where is the bathroom' in French. Being an excitable young animal that enjoys shiny things leads to her ADHD, Kleptomania, Hoarding, Claustrophobia, and Pica. Slightly wary of larger predators - large dogs, wolves, bears, big cats, etc.

History: She had a happy childhood, conversing with the neighborhood dogs and playing with friends, until, at the age of 15, she was caught shoplifting - 'I wasn't stealing, honest! I just wanted to look at it later!' It was realized that she had been doing this for a while, picking up and pocketing small, shiny knick-knacks that she kept in a box in her closet. Two months, and repeated instances of shoplifting, later, she was found chewing on raw chicken, and began seeing a psychiatrist. When it didn't stop, she was taken to Mooncrest Island so that she could be treated more consistently. She has since become increasingly depressed and subdued, leading the doctors to add Depression to her list.

Crush: Isa - the combination of Kit's heightened senses and Isa's connection with animals leads Kit to be more affected by Isa's pheromones.

Other: Enjoys playing simple pranks - whoopee cushions, jumping out and saying 'boo', etc. - but she is easily dis- Oh, look! Shiny!

Roommate?: Is now Isa in room 301.

Name: Daniel Erdesh
Nickname: Bodhisattva
Age: 21
Looks:
Personality: The Bodhisattva has slightly different personality depending on if he is on anti-psychotic drugs or not, when not on Anti-Psychotic drugs the Bodhisattva rarely speaks and often spends his time in a meditative state, He seems to care for other people but tends to just creep them out instead, he bears no hatred for the people imprisoning him. When on his medication he behaves more "human" he tends to eat more but is a little sluggish, his speech is slurred. He often feels miserable when on his medication.

“Psychiatric” condition: Catatonic Schizophrenia

Actual 'Gifts': Ego disruption field: Those who gaze upon Bodhisattva experience anomalies in thought not too different from the kind experienced in schizophrenia, thoughts appear outside the mind or coming from external sources, this also somehow enables telepathy which is often troubling for those who are not used to hear voices in the head/see writing on the walls. Anti-Psychotic meditation can reduce this powers effectiveness. with concentration, He can focus on specific people to deliver them specific telepathic messages. As a weakness Daniel does not exactly control this power, and sometimes thoughts that he projects are secrets that are best kept inside the mind.
ESP: While not on anti-psychotics, the Bodhisattva is capable of gleaming information from his environment not understood by science, how this works is completely unknown but The Bodhisattva claims to be communing with the universe. As a weakness, this power is often very distracting, much of the information gained is pretty useless to most situations.
Both of the powers have the weakness of making it difficult for Daniel to relate to normal human beings, he experiences the world in a profoundly different way.

History: It started in high-school after his mother died, Daniel started getting distracted in school, he would just stare off into the distance, His friends started getting worried. He stopped hanging out with people and instead isolated himself to his room, he made it through school and started college but eventually just stopped going. A few months later he was reported missing, the police checked his house and found him nearly dead with starvation just standing on his bed. He was put into an institution with Catatonic schizophrenia...eventually the doctors noticed something odd about him and the asylum fell into chaos, Daniel isnt sure what happened. He was moved to a new facility.
