Plot: You're crazy, that fact was made very obvious when the doctors invaded your home and took you away to the hospital. There are lots of people In H-9-23, some just arriving and some having been there since they were toddlers. You don't like it there, no one likes mental hospitals, but it's all you have, and all you know. One day, while the patients all go through their regular routines, a alarm goes off, a signal telling everyone to return to their rooms. Something has gone wrong. There was a breech in secruity, someone is either breaking in or breaking out. You and a group of your friends don't return to their rooms, instead, while the guards are occupied with whoever and whatever, you all break out of an open door, running for your life to nobody knows where.

This is your goal, to survie. To exist. To not go back. You make it to a bustling city where you hide out in an abandoned hotel, doing whatever you can to survive.

Extra: Okay, this is what this is basically about, a bunch of mentally ill people trying to live in the big city world with no pills, no therapy, and no help at all. You have to try not to go compleately insane but how well can that go with a bunch of crazies stuck in the same place together with no outside help? We'll find out.

Insane Writers

Name: Skizzy

Age: 19

Illness: Schizophrenia- He hears voices and oftens see things that are not there.

Apperance: The tattoo on his neck is of his ID number. There is always dried blood under his fingertips and scars on his body, some of them he does not even remember putting there, but they are from him scratching up his body when the voices get to loud.


Personality: He is always talking, no matter if you know it or not. It's either inside his head or outloud, either way, he's always talking or listening. One of the two. The voices never leave him alone and he can ignore them sometimes, most of the time, but there are other times when he forgets and answers them and if he answers they never shut up. Aside from that, Skiz likes to be around other people, he hates to be alone, is even afraid of it. Some may call his fear of being alone a phobia. Somedays, when the voices and visons get out of control, he may snap and go into a rage, clawing at his head to get them out. This happens seldom in the daytime, because he has actual people to talk to him and the voices are sort of pushed to the back of his mind, but at night it gets really bad because they are the only thing he hears.
There will be times where he goes crazy and hurts himself and others around him, but if that happens a good knock against the head should calm him down.

History: He's been in H-9-23 for as long as he can remember. He was six when they first took him away, his parents gave him up without a fight because they knew he was crazy then, they were afraid of him. He had a little sister named Carrie that his mother had just had. She was newborn, small and pink, laughing. His mother let him hold her, they had no prior knowledge of his condition. Now, before hand, Skizzy, real name Alexander, has always been spoiled with everything he wanted. Clothes, toys, friends, love, everything. Everyone loved him and he loved that. When his mother announced she was pregnant, Skiz became worried.
He didn't want to share the fame, the glory, or the love. He wanted to be the only one. The spotlight was only big enough for one child. That's when the voices started. She's going to take away everything from you, they teased. It was always on Skiz's mind. He was going to be replaced. He slowly went crazy, but he didn't know he was going crazy. He didn't understand. That day, when he was forced to hold the demon child, he just snapped. The disease took over his mind and he threw the baby to the ground, kicking the thing relentlessly with all his might. The voices ate up the rest of his sanity and he destroyed the thing that was going to take away the attention. His parents called the police first and the police called H-9-23. The doctors took him away from the police office and to the hospital. He's been there ever since.
The voices still taunt him about killing his sister when they get out of control.

Other: He brought a journal and a pencil with him from the hospital. He likes music, it's what the doctors would use to calm him down from one of his fits and he would often hum to himself or whistle when bored. He also hates his real name, Alexander, and him hearing his name will immediately send him into a fit, it never fails.

Name: Hannah ((Kate, Cindy)).

Age: 19 ((29, 6)).

Illness: Split personality disorder.

Apperance:

Personality: Well, she has a split personality. So I suppose I'll have to do this in three parts.

Hannah is her sweet side. Her dominate side, the side that couldn't hurt a fly. But she could be hurt so easily. This side of her is hard not to get along with. She won't fight, not even if she is attacked. She'd make the perfect trophy wife. Obedient, loving and confused.

Kate is a mid-age side of her, this side is a little more dangerous. This side likes to start fights and watch chaos unfold. She protects Hannah and Cindy, whom she thinks are two different people and not herself. This side of her won't think twice before punching you in the face and breaking a bone or two.

Cindy is a child, or so she thinks. Being in the body of a grown woman and all. Cindy is the childhood Hannah never had, the innocence she never knew. Kate and Hannah are the family she never had. You'll often find 'Cindy' running around, coloring and doing other childhood experiences she missed out on.

History: Hannah's parents discovered that Hannah wasn't exactly normal at a very young age, six to be exact. When Hannah became angry, she acted like a very frustrated and violent sixteen year old, and would not respond to her name. During these fits she would insist on being called Kate. Kate happened to be the name of her deceased drunkard aunt who would baby-sit her when she was younger still.

Her parents had her taken to Hospitable-9-23. She cried a lot that night, wondering why mommy and daddy would just leave her like that. She was so excited when they came to visit the next day. Mommy told her the nice people in white were going to make her better, they were going to make Kate go away. Then Hannah could go back home.

But Hannah didn't want Kate to go away. Kate didn't want to go away.

Kate leaped across the table and grabbed Hannah's mommy around her throat and tried to strangle her. It took three nurses to sedate her. Mommy and daddy didn't come back to visit after that. Hannah didn't know why. Hannah didn't do anything wrong. Hannah would spend most of her time sitting alone in her room, staring at the white walls. Only Nurses who Kate approved of were allowed in Hannah's room. Anyone else entered and Kate would attack them.

When Hannah was sixteen, she and Kate realized how much Hannah missed out on. So much of her childhood, gone. Hannah developed a new personality from watching one of the fatally sick toddlers. Cindy. Only a few nurses and doctors knew about Cindy, and those few were the only ones who knew how to take care of her. And the only few Kate would let near her.

Soon, Hannah's walls were covered in pictures of kitties and trees. Some days nurse Lindsey would take her outside to the play ground, but definitely not when other little children were around. There was too much of a Kate risk for that.

Other: Boom!

History: He was born with the ADHD. His parents and other families members were abusing him, as soon as he turned five.

Personality: Realyn never, not even when she sleeps, shut-ups. She is all the time moving her mouth as well as the rest of her body. She is extremely smart for a five year old and shoots out random facts about everything. She is in love with pink and won't wear anything else. Realyn is a sweet obedient little girl if she would only listen first. she is highly emotional. When happy, she is screaming with excitement so loud she can hardly breathe. When she is upset, the whole world is upset or it comes tumbling down. However, the majority of her childhood she is happy. Ice-cream is her favorite food as well as jellybeans and rice cakes. Whenever Realyn comes across a fury animal she has to hug it or she will throw a tantrum of screaming un-happyness. Also she is a massive artist when it comes to crayon d drawlings.

History: Realyn lived with her parents for three years. It didn't take long before they discovered her disorder. After finding out that pills didn't do any good, Realyn's parents tried leashes, cages, and sleeping pills. However, nothing was good enough. Their little girl was getting into fights by the time she could walk, she was making up stories when she first starting talking, and by the time she was three year old, Realyn had started coloring all the petals off of flowers and eating hamster food in hopes she would turn into a rat. The two tired and confounded parents didn't know what else to do, but send their hyperactive, smart, never-stopping three year old to a special school. However, when they found all their ea-racer s gone because she used them to shove up squirles butts in order to prepare them for hibernation, the school called the men in white suits to come get the little girl before she gave the normal ADHD children ideas.

Age: 13

Illness: Kleptomania (Compulsive stealing disorder really)

Apperance: Ali has just below her shoulders brown hair and slightly tan skin, she has dark green eyes and a thin build and tall for her age leaving her looking lanky. On the run she wears a black camisole, pink jacket and skinny jeans.


Personality: Ali is not really crazy it's just when she is walking along in the mall, friends house ect she will while she is not thinking reach out and take something, wether it is a pen or a wedding ring she feels terrible after when she finds them in the pocket of her jacket. Even though she feels terrible she can't make herself give it back as a part of her mind naggs at her and she keeps it in a secret pocket on the inside of her jacket. Her collection at the moment consists of: A wedding ring belonging to her old best friend's mum, two pens, four paper clips, two hundred dollers belonging to various people she just happened to pick pocket, a plastic unicorn toy and a cellphone.
Ali is usually dreamy and distant that is when she will reach out and grab something swiftly hiding it in her pockets, when not in that state she is moody and hot headed so no one wants to be around her.

History: Ali had a rough life, her dad abused her leaving a fine white scar up the side of her arm where he cut her with a craft knif in an undeniable rage, a rage that Ali took after. Her mother had fled from her father not able to support her daughter she left Ali alone with her drunken father. It was not nessercarily her illness that led her to being in the hospital it was her father not being bothered to keep her checked her in. She was eight and had barely developed her illness she got the ideas from the other children in the ward.

Other: n/a

Name: Richard Ji Han

Age: 17

Illness: Dream Anxiety Disorder (simply called as 'nightmare disorder')

Appearance:

He is 5''4 tall and has quite muscular arms because he likes running and swimming. He has dark brown hair and fair complexion. (more details in the picture)

Personality: Richard does not talk much. He only opens his mouth when he questions, ask something necessary or when he can relate to a very significant topic. Being friendly does not suit him because he has less than five friends and is very sensitive around his environment. Nonetheless, he appears innocent and only smile as a way of greeting to the people whom he really knows. Plus, he's mentally weak because of the disorder he's bringing.

Richard is also into activities, especially in the field of sports. Basketball and swimming are one of his favorite pastimes. Or one of his ways to avoid his thoughts about his mother's death, that would sometimes lead to his depression. He's a book lover too. Science fiction books are one of the reasons why he'd sometimes skip lunch and dinner. However, when he gets tired, he would drink coffee and not listen to musical pieces because he has Somniphobia (fear of sleep).

History: Richard was born in Korea. He lived in a mansion together with his mother while his father died of colon cancer, and that was one of the main reason why her mother remarried. Then an unfortunate event happened to him. One night when Richard was sleeping in his room, his step dad secretly stabbed his mother thrice and escaped with their own fortune. As he heard the scream from his mother, Richard got up immediately and saw in horror her mother's body stained with blood. He called up for help but it was too late.

Since that terrible night, Richard started to have nightmares that would usually result to waking up with morning sweat. When Richard's grandfather heard the news about the murder and his grandson's mental situation, Richard was invited to transfer in America and reside together with him. However even at the age of thirteen, Richard's mental suffering didn't end because the haunting incident kept on appearing (and reappearing) through his dreams. His grandfather noticed it in a while and because of his old age, he was left with no choice but to settle Richard in Hospital-9-23.

Sometimes, Richard would fight back and escape the place, but not of those those strategies succeeded. So until now Richard has that growing anger to his grandfather for leaving him here and even to his stepdad who killed his mother.

Other: He never likes music. He also has two Stephen King books with him.

We will start when wicked and Yurii finish their profiles.

you should tell me how to the pic. I feel like an idiot because everyone else has one and I can't figure the stupid thing out

This is how you do it [.spoiler.] [img](url-link-of-the-picture)[/img] [./spoiler.] but without the periods in the spoiler section. Hmm, I kind of want to make a pyromaniac.

Hope this is ok! PM me if there's anything I need to change.

Name: Lauryn Fall

Age: 17

Illness: Major Depression, severe Anorexia Nervosa, Suicidal.

Apperance: This is her hair/face:
This is what her body looks like, and what she sees herself as (Ignore the face/hair, and be warned, this is quite shocking): She has many scars on her wrists/forearms, some healed over, some scabbed, some still bleeding. She also has long scars on her legs from where she's tried to cut the "fat" off of her bones. These are healed over now, for though she tries, there's not enough skin to pull into a ridge she can cut. She also has bruises and burns from when she has to punish herself (See below)

Personality: Lauryn is a shy, dark shadow of her former self. She finds it hard to be around people and their probing questions. She's often weak from lack of food, so doesn't speak much, and tends to fade into the background, where she likes it. She's very lonely however, and just wants someone who'll accept her and stick with her anyway. She finds it hard to let people in, always expecting they're conspiring to make her fatter than ever, and she's a major pessimist. Her anorexia is like a voice in her head, telling her how unattractive she is, and how much people hate her.
She's very depressed, and has an incredibly low self-esteem. She misreads people a lot, and if someone compliments her, she'll assume they're mocking her. She has no energy for loud performances, but likes to just sit and talk with someone, if they keep from badgering her on and on to eat, or to stop the cutting. People who are quiet, and just talk to her like a human, are "Safe". Once someone's made a remark about her weight, or the scars, or is loud or disruptive, they're "unsafe".
For this reason, she doesn't really have any friends. She just wants to die, but is however scared of actually killing herself, and most of her attempts are half-hearted.

History: Lauryn was once one of the "Popular" girls, with everything going for her. She was slim, she was beautiful, and she was dating the cutest guy in high school.

Then came Megan. Megan was like an extreme version of Lauryn. Prettier, more outgoing, and most of all, thinner. Within weeks she was taking Lauryn's place, and soon Lauryn began to fade. Eventually Luke (Lauryn's boyfriend) dumped her for Megan. She cut herself that night, and the pain made all her emotions go away. She slowly started cutting more and more, and soon people started treating her like a freak, labeling her "emo". She was ostracized by her peers, and Megan took her place completely. Lauryn tried to fight back by tackling her weight. What started out as an innocent dieting regime soon became addicting, and within a month she was starving herself. She'd punish herself when she ate, by burning herself with a lighter, or pinching/hitting herself. Her reward for good behavior (Lost weight) was to cut herself, the pretty slits made the bad feelings go away...She lost more and more weight, but no matter how much is lost, she sees herself getting fatter and fatter.

Other: She just wants to be accepted, and even loved. Once she loves someone, she'll never let them go; they'll become her safe harbour. She's a romantic at heart, if you ever manage to get past her layers and reach her. Little things; a single flower, a song, a small note, those are the things that make her wonder if she's on the right path.

Of course.

Thank You! ok I fixed it so people can really go and see the pic now
