Have you ever wondered how it is to be a schizophreniac with multiple personality disorder? Have you ever thought what might happen when the symbiotic relationships between these... entities, got derailed or put in jeopardy?

Well, in the life of George Perkins, that is exactly what's about to happen.

To the outside world, George looks like your average 18 year old. He attends school, has friends, plays in the school marching band- quite normal. That is, until they arrive...

In this experimental SB, six determined writers will be playing George. Yes, six people, one character. The catch is that each of them will be playing an alternate version of George. Different personas, one body.

But not exactly one body... For George not only suffers multiple personality disorder, but of schizophrenia, so each of these personas interact and live with each other.

This all went fine, the different personalities taking turns to govern George's body and actions, going about his daily life. Until he started seeing doctor Whitecliffe. The kind old doctor came and started messing with George mind, and this is where our SB begins.

Character slots


Since the cast of this SB will all be playing George, our appearance and age stay the same. That, however, does not mean that all six personas will be called George, talk the same, or have the same attitude towards each other. I'll be cast as the normal George, but you can reserve one of the slots down below.

The Opposite- The most common alternate personality is the one which tends to be the polar opposite of the normal personality. These two are always at odds, and usually are the most obvious to see from the outside.

The Matron- This is your "motherly" personality. This one tends to be the most sympathetic and caring, but not necessarily emotional. Its ultimate purpose is to ensure the other personalities and other people feel cared for, even if that care might lead to twisted versions of kindness.

The Daredevil- This is usually your wild and untamed personality. It disregards all sense of self-preservation, and tends to be way more reckless (both physically and emotionally) than any of the other personalities.

The Vanguard- This is the silent and aggressive personality. It usually places the protection of the other personalities and the body above all else, and would do anything to anyone that threatens its "family" (family meaning fellow personalities)

The Emo- This is your overly emotional personality. It is usually very antisocial, and tends to act on the slightest emotional stimuli. This one usually also depends a lot on its fellow personas (note, this does not refer to the social class of emos... This is strictly in personality terms)

Slots-
Normal- George Perkins (@TheClockworkConjurer)
Opposite- reserved for @Mom
Matron- reserved for @backroadstraveler
Daredevil- reserved for @Tortwag
Vanguard- reserved for @TinyJarStoredDreams
Emo- reserved for @Steggy

(Note- Even though we're the same person, each persona usually has its own name and gender it thinks it is)
