[OOC] Saint-Vincent Asylum: The Academy of Evil

[Reveuse]

Your journey will be full of death and tragedies of your own making, like devil spawn, and will start upon your fourteenth year of life... you may as well enjoy it!



You find yourself alone, a mere teenager of fourteen in a somber hall of faint gaslight and heavily curtained windows on the outskirts of the great New York city on a November night. Despite the chill outside you are not cold, however, but are in fact nearly sweltering under the heavy heat emanating from not one but two fireplaces, each on separate ends of the room.

Tonight you were sent to the Saint-Vincent Rehabilitation Center for Disturbed Youths, or the Saint-Vincent Academy, or some would say Asylum, for short. Tonight on this cold night of the year nineteen hundred and three find you disoriented, and no doubt angry of your family's betrayal, but fear not, you will have your vengeance before this four year pension of yours is out.



You see, you are soon to discover that you will fit right in in this campus, for you see, Headmaster Lucius Mortensen do not seek a cure for you, no, he merely wished for his protege to hide their dark nature under the light and partake in their desires when the sun is out. For you see, this place is neither a prison or an hospital, it is a breeding ground for evil.

So when the calls for corruption and death reaches you, you would do well to heed it and run into it's dark embrace, for only a true killer will thrive here... only a psychopath will find a home in these halls.



As you finish your inspection of the room you were forced into, your disturbed mind focuses upon a previously unseen book with an expensive fountain pen upon it's spine. Opened to a nearly blank page, you can see on the heavy and no doubt expensive vellum the following words, urging you to add your own essence to their being, their crimson color alluring in a way you never experienced before.

[flightless-angel-castiel]

Ah! This sounds exciting. I will start a character quite soon :3

[LetsFly]

Name: Riley Harrison
Gender: Male
Guardian: His mother, Carolyn

Physical Description:

Appearance

Riley is tall, nearly passing six feet in height, with an athletic build. His falls in long, shaggy curls, which he usually has pushed back carelessly from his face. His eyes are a light yellow-brown, almost topaz coloured. His appearance is usually very casual, with a lopsided grin at his lips, simple trousers and button-downs his choice of dress, and he has a wooden switchblade which he is usually fidgeting with, twirling between his fingers. His arms are covered in gash-like scars.

Mental Description: From a very young age, Riley could be described as morbid, and cold. His mind was infected with an indifference that disabled him from forming close relationships, with the exception of his mother. He regards life with an unfaltering apathy, taking interest only in death, in suffering and pain, often catching himself imagining how a passerby's skin would resist the tug of his fingers if he ripped it off of them.

Illnesses of the Mind: Emotionless indifference in regard other people, as well as situational apathy. It is very difficult to get him to care about anything, including himself. He doesn't understand why he is the way he is, and he punishes himself for it-- each morbid thought is another cut on his body. However, obviously, his methods are counterproductive.

Illnesses of the Body: Physical addiction to pain, self-inflicted and inflicted upon others.

Prior History: When angry or upset, Riley lashes out with violence, often hurting those around him. This behaviour starting at a young age, therapists passed it off as an attention deficit, claiming it would fade over time. However, much to his dismay, the opposite occurred. Over the years, his thoughts only became more violent, more angry. He was popular in school, and utilised sports as a way to release his anger-- but was often pulled out of the games due to injuries caused to other players. In late middle school, he received his switchblade-- a birthday gift sent in the mail from his absent father, who had much to do with the anger that Riley felt. Unable to understand why he is the way he is, Riley felt the need to punish himself; each new morbid thought was another cut on his body. Obviously, his methods were counterproductive. During the night he would sneak out of his room, sometimes vanishing for several days, before returning with his clothes soaked in blood, having slaughtered any small animal he could capture. He kept parts of each kill, a foot or an ear, not as trophies, but as a reminder of the monster that he was. His freshman year of highschool, at 14, his mother noticed his cuts and attempted to reach out to him and offer him help-- he retaliated using violence, and badly hurt the one person he trusted. Driven too far by his actions, his mother enrolled him at St. Vincent.

Likes: Sports, women, his mother, solitude, writing.

Dislikes: Men, father-figures, large groups, forced interactions.

Goal: To destroy the monster taking over his life ((Or to learn to embrace it, we'll see ))

Dream: To earn his mother's forgiveness for hurting her, and to punish his father for leaving their family

Primary Sin: Wrath

Darkest Desire: To give in and just allow himself to enjoy the feeling of killing, to stop fighting and to embrace his nature.

[GrandDM2]

Name: Jeffrey Tarson
Gender: Male
Guardian: None

Physical Description: Tall and slim with a severe, serious, almost grim face. His hair is black and cut short, and his eyes are a stormy grey. He tends to wear a sombre black suit, on the inside of which is a hidden pocket that always contains a knife. He has a similar pocket in the waistband of his trousers and the sole of each shoe.
Mental Description: Quiet, reserved and dignified, Jeffrey has more the manner of a shy nobleman than a vicious killer. Even when engaged in the slow business of tormenting his chosen victim, he remains calm and collected, showing none of the maniacal glee common among others.

Illnesses of the Mind: Has no empathy and cares nothing for anyone except himself. Narcissistic.
Illnesses of the Body: None

Prior History: Even as a young boy, Jeffrey was dangerous. He was known to have no qualms about injuring or even killing other children or teachers. Once, when a master went to beat the boy, he picked up his stool and clubbed the man to death. He was quickly refused by every school, and ended up on the streets where he honed his skills. He is a very dangerous combatant even unarmed, and can kill a man with his bare hands. Despite his reputation on the street, he is not affiliated with any gangs, as he considers himself above them and would never enter any organization where he was not the leader except in dire circumstances...

...such as those he faces now. Hounded and hunted, he found himself unable to escape, and needed an escape route. He created one through the simple expedient of breaking into a politician's house and threatening to kill the man unless he got him admitted to St. Vincent's, a place he had heard was an excellent training ground for those such as himself. He would tolerate the teachers ordering him around for a few years since he'd have the opportunity to hone his skills and to disappear from his pursuers. But when his term there was over... they'd regret their assumed superiority, their lofty attitude.

At length.

Likes: Torturing victims, bettering himself, besting others.
Dislikes: Losing, social interaction.

Primary Sin: Pride
Darkest Desire: To be supreme above all others.

Preferred method: A knife in the dark, but if he can, he'll simply knock them out and abduct them so that he can kill them slowly.

[Reveuse]

Hah, Jeffrey is accepted. Welcome!

Name
Akemi Hirukawa

Gender
Female

Guardian
Her mother and Father, Kaho and Takumi

Physical Description
Akemi is a very unassuming girl. Looking at her, you wouldn’t accuse her of anything, whether is be who ate the last cookie in the cookie jar, cheating, vandalism… Anything. She looks like a very sweet, innocent young girl, her petite, slender frame and wide brown eyes reinforcing that illusion. Her sleek raven hair falls to her waist, and her skin tone is rather pale.

Mental Description
Her harmless appearance hides a very calculating mind. She is very manipulative, using her appearance to her advantage she is capable of maneuvering people in a subtle fashion to doing her bidding. Akemi is empty, she doesn’t have any aspirations or things to look forward to, simply existing for the expense of others. Despite her mental illness, she is good at hiding it, most of the people that know her don’t know of it. Akemi is amazing at acting normal, and is capable of acting friendly and drawing people in.

Illness of the Mind
She has hallucinations where she claims she can see, hear, and sense unnatural things (like ghosts, for example) Akemi also believes that she has some sort of precognitive abilities, but whether this is true or not is unknown. She also has absolute no will of her own.

Illness of the Body
While it’s technically not an illness, Akemi is a contortionist.

Prior History
Akemi was different, she always knew that. As a child, she always spoke of the ghosts and monsters that talked to her, but to the surprise of her parents, she wasn’t afraid of them. She chattered casually about how a man had brutally murdered someone in her hallucinations as if she was talking about her homework. Naturally, this terrified her parents so they sent her to a therapist who recommended that she express her ‘overactive imagination’ artistically. This was a bad idea, for Akemi’s artwork grew more and more gruesome each day, each of them belonging in a terrifying horror movie setting.

Akemi’s sharp mind saw that she wouldn’t survive the world by continuing to embrace her hallucinations, so she stopped talking about them in public. She put on a persona of a normal girl, and discovered that by acting like this, she was well-liked and even popular to an extent. So she continued to portray normalcy, which relieved everyone around her. But while she acting normal, she began to grow more distant mentally, finally withdrawing from life completely and shutting herself in her room. Her hallucinations grew at this point, and it was often that her parents would hear maniacal laughter from behind her locked door. It was then, that her parents decided that Akemi would need serious help.

Goal
Put simply, to be of use to someone.

Dreams

Primary Sin

Skills and Talents
Akemi’s love for flowers has introduced her to the deadly art of botany, and she has studied various poisons and antidotes that you can extract from plants while she had shut herself away.

Akemi is an amazing actress and has experimented with disguise. It’s presumable that in the future, she will use this to her advantage.

As mentioned previously, Akemi will not be suspected of anything, due to her innocent appearance.

[LetsFly]

Updated my post :)

[Reveuse]

Ah, I forgot to outline that this took place in the 1900s, but beside a few tweak you must make, you are both accepted!

[Lilacs]

Tweaks like what?

[Reveuse]

On second thought, yours is fine, Mizuho, sorry about that, I seem to have been sleepy without my shower, and for Riley, only his clothes will have to be changed.

[Lilacs]

Hahaha okay, sounds good!

[flightless-angel-castiel]

And here we are!

Name: McKenzie Freeman.

Gender: Female.

Guardian: Her grandmother, Ginger Freeman.

Physical Description: McKenzie doesn't stand out in a crowd. Her height and build is average; her skin complexion pale and creamy. Her hair is fine, straight and falling down to her lower back, the yellow color of a sunflower. Her eyes are a fine blue, almost ice blue, having the typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed look. She loves dresses and is rarely seen in any sorts of pants. She is typically covering herself up with a shawl or something of the sort; she doesn't like any skin showing because of the noticeable abuse her grandmother left on her.

Mental Description: McKenzie is an unhappy and depressive girl. She often yearns and wants things she can't have and that leads to her becoming very angry and violent. She was like this as a child and she couldn't have friends because she would hurt them when she wanted something they had. She doesn't want something from everyone but if she does find something she wants, she tries to take it in a violent way. She's very dark and doesn't often think life is worth living because she can't have everything she wants. The only time she seems to be truly happy is when she's conflicting pain to get something she wants.

Illnesses of the Mind: Very, very envious and quick to anger and violence. Comes off as someone who doesn't care for anyone but herself, even if that might be a lie. Indifferent towards anything with feelings and depressed.

Illnesses of the Body: None.

Prior History: McKenzie grew up in a fairly happy home, where her mother provided her with things she needed and taught her the most proper manners. McKenzie was still unhappy, despite this, and it was deemed she had severe depression. This caused her to grow up with dark thoughts and always wanting things she couldn't have, especially from people her age. It made her lash out and her parents were at a lost on how to deal with her. Especially when she would lash out at them and hit and scratch them. Not knowing what to do, they sent McKenzie to live with her grandmother, Ginger. Ginger was a hard woman who didn't take no for an answer and she used the old-fashion way of beating to punish McKenzie for doing something bad or lashing out.

This only increased McKenzie's depression and darkness and it made her hate her grandmother. McKenzie never made any friends because of the way she was and she was often in trouble for attacking someone to try and take something she wanted (this doesn't just mean objects; sometimes, she would envy another girl's hair and would try to rip it from her head). When her grandmother caught her cutting the fur from her beloved pet cat (McKenzie loved how soft it was and wanted it for herself), she sent her to St. Vincent in hopes of the girl getting help.

Likes:
Material objects.
Dresses.
Fur.
Usually boys.

Dislikes:
Other girls.
People having things she wants.
Her grandmother and parents.
Getting hit/hurt.

Goal: She honestly wants to learn how to control her anger and to calm down and how to be happy. Not that she wants to stop hurting people and trying to get what she wants; she just wants to learn to control herself better. And to kill her grandmother and parents.

Dream: Her honest dream is to find love and have everything she's ever wanted, to finally feel truly happy and beautiful.

Primary Sin: Envy.

Darkest Desire: To find other girls with gorgeous hair and scalp them, keeping the hair as wigs so she could change her hair style everyday.

[Reveuse]

Very dark cast so far, excellent!
McKenzie is accepted.

[LetsFly]

[Banba]

I hope this is fine, and I'm not too late to the party.

Name: Moe Talons
Gender: female
Guardian: her 4 elder brothers.

Physical Description: choppy red hair that obviously was cut at random, averaging around her ears. Her deep purple eyes seem too big for her round face, dark bags permanently under them giving her a wild look. her pale skin covered in freckles further give her an almost ghostly look. A tiny thing, Moe doesn't seem to present much of a threat because of her slender figure and short stature, despite the constant blank stare she has. because of how small she is, her clothes are often too large for her, being hand-me downs form her brothers.

Mental Description: Mostly vacant looking, most people assume there isn't much going on in Moe's mind, when in fact it is quite the contrary. Moe's mind is always moving, taking in everything surrounding her and making comments in which her thoughts seem fit.
Illnesses of the Mind: schizophrenia and insomnia. Moe's combined lack of outwardly emotion and the voices she hears tend to leave her staying up late at night, which then lead her to having sever lack of judgement.
Illnesses of the Body: Alexandria Genesis is a disease that changes one's eye colour from blue or grey to a purple, among other minor effects including a lack of body hair, a strong immune system and strong eyesight.
(Read more about it, its actually pretty cool: http://www.wattpad.com/8704902-the-purple-eye-disease-alexandria-genesis
http://www.newhealthguide.org/Alexandria'S-Genesis.html )

Prior History: Being the seventh and last child of her parents, she's already outlived two older brothers, both of whom died in terrible accidents. this drove her parents mad, committing suicide within a week of each other years after Moe was born. her oldest brother, barely being a legal adult at the time, took care of his remaining siblings. Moe had always been different, but as the years passed she became more and more distant, often responding to questions by intense stares made even eerier by the unnatural purple colour of her eyes. She would sleep for around an hour most nights, and the more tired she was the louder the voices became, the further away from a healthy state of mind she became. She was truly out of her mind when she started to leave the house late at night, finding anything to destroy. starting at garbage cans, she promoted to small animals to other people.

This habit went unknown by her brothers for the longest time, in which Moe had probably killed multiple people in her state. It wasn't until she attacked one of her brothers that they started to fear her, locking her in the house and confining her to her room. Her bloodlust only grew, as the new distress prevented her from sleeping for days on end. When she attacked a sibling for the second time the boys decided to send her to Saint-Vincent's, at a loss of what else they could do with their sister.

Likes: Silence, stories, clutter, watching people, anyplace where there is a lot to visually take in.
Dislikes: Being alone, very bright places, people who talk without a point, people who comment on her eyes.
Goal: To have complete silence.
Dream: a normal life with both parents and happy brothers.

Primary Sin: Wrath
Darkest Desire: To get rid of her eyes. she understands how they're unnatural, and blames them for all the misfortune of her family.

[Reveuse]

Accepted :)!
That's a gruesome desire right here!

[Banba]

Ah, thank you! :) I thought it seemed fitting. I'll start on a IC post now.

[Reveuse]
