Disturbed

They think we're disturbed, so we'll show them disturbed.

Safe Haven Mental Institution for the Youth is hidden away in the vast deserts of New Mexico. Surrounded by sand and the brutal sun, many patients, even in severe mental states, can tell that they want to stay in the hopsital rather than escape. It's not like they could anyway. The hospital is equipped with the latest techonology and equiptment to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all of it's patients. Of couse, not everyone of the residents look at it that way.

It's a place where young people are sent once they have reached breaking points. Some come with cases of severe depression, post traumatic syndrome, schizophrenia, etc. Each patient is treated depending on their status and stability around themselves and others. Some are treated like normal teenagers, while others are kept under a close eye.

We welcome you to Safe Haven and can only hope you come back alive!


RULES!
- Be literate. If your profile isn't lengthy and detailed, you won't get in. Posts in the IC need to be atleast two paragraphs.
-Seriously, you aren't going to be attacking everyone and killing people. That isn't how I roleplay or let my roleplays turn out, because it is the opposite of realistic.
-Please post atleast once every two or three days.

Hmm, I hope this is alright.

Name : Maria Osloan

Age : Seventeen

Worker or Patient : Patient

Personality : Maria on a good day is calm, quiet and mildly social in the right environment but on most days she’s introverted, depressed and keeps entirely to herself. So much so that she won’t really talk to others unless she is telling them to leave her alone or if they happen to ask her a question she cares to answer. She tends to cry without giving a reason but she tries to hold it in a lot of the time and because of that sometimes her normally quiet personality can become loud and somewhat filled with rage, yelling at the first person to even annoy her.

Reason you are here: Maria was taken into this mental institution because of her depression and suicidal thoughts. Her suicidal thoughts for the most part have ceased to exist but have been replaced with sudden and violent outbursts. She had never hurt a person but she has the bad habit of punching walls or other inanimate objects causing her to be a bit of a danger to herself.

Appearance: Short red hair [actually red, dyed, those her natural hair is also of the ‘red’ variety so it blends well] cut in the bobbed fashion being considerably shorter in the back and angled strongly in the front. Her eyes are a deep shade of green that have very small almost unnoticeable flecks of brown so more often than not she just says she has green eyes. She stands at a short five foot one and weighs a little over one hundred and five pounds. She’s small framed with round shoulders. Her figure is thin and not very curvy at all. She also fails to be ‘well endowed’ in the chest area so at times she tends to look a bit masculine. Given the right clothes and makeup job she really can pull off being a guy.

Name : Spencer Lively

Age : Eighteen

Worker or Patient : Patient

Personality : Spencer is normal most of the time when he is around people. He tells jokes, starts conversations and gets along with most people. If you're his friend, which most people are, he'll help you out and talk to you when you're down. Considering that he's stuck in the hospital with nothing much to do, Spencer has dedicated most of his life to the friends he has made here. When he is alone, Spencer isn't too pleasent. He doesn't like being alone, and when he is he automatically feels like there are people trying to sneak up on him. His anxiety scares his into many of his nervous habits, the worst being his autophagia. Spencer feels the need to tear his skin to pieces when he is alone, for some unknown reason. Besides this, Spencer is an easy person to get along with and never gives anyone much trouble unless they leave him alone.

Reason you are here : Spencer suffers from autophagia. He has had it for over ten years, but over the last year, he has been showing signs of a quick downward spiral. Autophagia is a condition where one feels compelled to inflict pain upon themselves by biting or devouring portions of their body. In Spencer's case, this is caused by extreme anxiety to many things.

Name;
Gemma Hawthorne

Age;
17

Worker or Patient;
Patient

Personality;
Normally, Gemma is a nice person. If it weren't for her fears, she might be considered normal. Gemma would die for any one of her friends, and keep any of their secrets, but her Eremophobia tends to make her extremely clingy to people, and it means she constantly needs company as well. She doesn't have a short fuse, normally, and is a generally happy person to be around. Always up for a joke and ready to be there for anyone who needs her, Gemma's fears are the only thing that messes her up. Seeing a mirror will drive her insane - she will start to smash it while screaming uncontrollably, and won't be able to stop until the mirror is entirely destroyed. Being alone scares her into silence - she usually just sits extremely still and talks to herself so she doesn't feel alone, but only for a little bit - if she's left alone for too long, she goes a little crazy, and starts destroying things again; it's the only outlet she can think of for her fears.

Reason you are here;
Eremophobia & Eisoptrophobia;
Gemma's fears are Eremophobia and Eisoptrophobia, meaning she is afraid of being by herself, and has an extreme fear of mirrors, and catching sight of herself in a mirror. Gemma's reactions to these fears are usually psychotic episodes as an outlet for her fear, which can be extremely dangerous. Her parents couldn't cope with her on their own, and had her sent to Safe Haven so she could have proper care.

Postby ForeverGreenday on Sun Jul 05, 2009 6:54 pm

Name : Paris Mallay
Age : Thirteen
Worker or Patient : Patient
Personality : Paris is troubled. She was hit with schizophrenia at the young age of twelve. Normally, the disease affects people in their late teens, so when the Mallay family found out about their daughter's rare case, they were instantly nervous. The symptoms came on quickly and dramatically. She began to hear many different voices of people who no one else saw, and her reality was turned into a whole new fantasy world. Paris began to make friends with people that weren't real, and her head became nothing more than fiction. Anxiety is a big part of her world now, and she is constantly thinking that people are reading her thoughts or trying to harm her. This is the reason that Paris has little real friends here at Safe Haven. She is always thinking that people are talking about her, or planning to kill her, so no one really bothers with her anymore. Of course, if she is asked about having friends, Paris can name twenty to thirty of her great friends that live in her head. Part of her working mind wants her to react normally, but the rest of her overpowers that small functioning part.
Reason you are here : Paris suffers from schizophrenia. She has been known to speak to "voices" in her head, neglect her personal hygene and withdraw from normal activites. While living with her parents she would throw violent fits, try to jump out of windows and injure her younger sister, so she was sent away.

Name : Eumelia Grey
Age : 17
Worker or Patient : Patient


Personality : She has no control over her rage what-so-ever. Some days shes nice and happy and others shes depressed. Shes hurt more then 3 people in her life that she loved and knew she had a problem. She never liked hearing it though, if anyone spoke of her "problem" she would get man. On good days her doctor could actually get her to talk about it but she usually rarely admits she has a problem. She likes to listen to music as a release. She needs the hard metal rock music for when she wants to scream and kill herself. Music acts as a way of preventing anything like that from happening. Eumelia does cut herself occationaly but she never turns to drugs for help. She is straight edge because she knows that she has too many problems to deal with she doesn't need anymore.


Reason you are here : Eumelia is bipolar Type 1. She was diagnosed at the age of 13 and has lived with it for 4 years. Shes always had the gene for it but she needed an offset button. Hers was her mom that would not stop yelling. Eumelia was so fed up with her mom that she pushed her one day and her mom had to go to the hospital. From that they on Eumelia was diagnosed as bipolar and never spoke to her mom since.

You're accepted, but with the rage thing just keep it like under control. Obviously violent fits are okay, but nothing stupid. I'm sure you know the limits, but I've seen people in roleplays like this decide to attack the doctors with fucking chainsaws and stuff. I just don't want stupid things like that. Anyways, you're in.

Postby LaurenAFI on Mon Jul 06, 2009 12:07 pm

Name : Honor Collins
Age : 31
Worker or Patient : Owner / Doctor of Safe Haven
Personality : Honor is a good-hearted person, who tends to be a bit immature sometimes, but can jump back to seriousness in a second. She's very intelligent, and is a certified doctor. She kept Safe Haven after her father passed away because she didn't want the patients to be scattered. Besides looking out for them as a doctor, Honor is also friends with some of them. She grew up in the hospital as her parents owned it, so she knows many of the patients. She knows that they do have problems though, and she is strict with them when she needs to be. Not all of them like her as well, but she tries to keep a smile on her face and blame it on their medical issues. All she wants to do is to help them, but if they don't behave Honor knows when to become the enemy over a friend.
Reason you are here : Honor is the new owner of Safe Haven. Her father recently psased away, leaving the place to her but she had always grown up here with the patients. Honor wants to help everyone that she can and is keeping the hospital open to do so. She works as a doctor here.

Postby Damien Silverwing on Mon Jul 06, 2009 5:59 pm

Hello. I wouldn't mind joining.

Name: Damien Cross.
Age: 34
Worker or patient: psychologist.
Personality: Damien is generallly a kind hearted person to everyone he meets. He tries to be as friendly as he can be to the patients, even when they are miss behaving. He doesn't believe that harsh punishments will help them but will inforce the rules. He may be kind and gentle but that is not to be confused for weakness. He is also very protective of the patients andn will do anything to insure their safety and well-being as well as the doctors there. If he could, he would live at the hospital just to be close in case his patients needs him.He wants nothing more than to help those at the hospital even if he goes against certain rules.

Reason you are here: The original hosptial Damien worked at no longer needed his assistance since they had closed down so he put up an application at Safe Haven where he was accepted and began to work again. He works closely with Honor

Description: Damein has short cocco brown hair and honey colored eyes. He stands tall at 6'2 and weighs about 186 Ibs. He is a strong built man which decieves his kind heart. When reading, he wears black rimmed glasses which he sometimes forgets are on his face.
What is immortality if not but a curse of the flesh? True immortality is not living forever, but leaving something behind to be remembered.

Postby WiseManoftheSea on Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:06 am

Name : David Brown/Marcus Long


Age : 17

Worker or Patient : Patient


Personality :
David Brown is an extremely thoughtful and caring boy. He is always ready to help when the opportunity arises, and tries to make the patients of Safe Haven feel at home. He loves to read, write, and tell stories to the patients and workers at Safe Haven. He has ambitions to eventually become a psychiatrist. David is somewhat unsure as to why he is here. Sure, he was told things, but they just don't add up, and he has trouble believing them. For whatever reason, David goes along with the program anyway.

--- ---

Marcus Long hates everything about Safe Haven, from the rotting garbage they call food, to the humans that look like death. Marcus wishes the place would just burn to the ground, residents included. Marcus would do it himself, and he knows how to pull it off, but there is something holding him back, there is something about the place, a secret yet to be revealed. It's something he can feel in his soul.
Of course he will tell no one: for fear that if he did they would take it away, and it would be lost forever. The workers know it, or at least they know key information about it, and so Marcus will play along with this world they had set up out in the middle of nowhere. For now.

Needless to say Marcus has a great distrust in everyone, and doesn't do well with social interactions. When he has to be around others he prides himself in being able to manipulate people, and is really the only thing he likes about humans.


Reason you are here :
David Brown was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder), after pouring lighter fluid over his brother, Joseph, after which he lit a match and watched as Joseph, who was only 6, went up in flames. His parents ran to the aid of Joseph, extinguishing the flames, and rushing the boy to the emergency room.

Joseph lived, but would be scarred for life, he also developed a severe speech impediment, that the doctors said could be fixed, but would take years before any noticeable improvements.

David had no memory of the terrible incident, and was just as shocked and troubled by it as his parents. After going to several psychiatrists, it was apparent what was wrong with David, and soon after was sent to live at Safe Haven.

The IC - disturbed-t25162.html

Name : Taylor Franklin
Age : 13
Worker or Patient : Patient
Personality : Taylor struggles to act normal, when she's normally feeling overwhelmed by the other people and things in the room. She's a friendly person normally, but would rather spend her time organizing things than talking to other people. She's not mean, and rarely throws violent fits like most of the patients. The only bad time that Taylor will have is if someone interrupts her while she's in the middle of counting or sorting objects. She can spend hours of her time scrubbing her hands because she feels germy, or cleaning other people's rooms just because looking at the mess hurts her head. Stealing things tends to put Taylor on other people's bad side, but most of the other patients know that she's only doing it because of kleptomania, and that they will get it back. Most of the time Taylor is in her own little world, so it's hard for people to see that she really can be normal. She's incredibly smart and is constantly doing mathematical things in her head, but her disorders tend to make her feel out of place. Of course, at Safe Haven it is hard to feel out of place, because no one is normal.
Reason for Being Here : Taylor suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and kleptomania. She's suffered with both of these for years, but her OCD has always been a small problem compared to kleptomania. She has just recently encountered her third arrest on charges of theft. Kleptomania is something that she has, causing her to have the urge to steal things, generally of little value. She was caught stealing boxes on pens and paper clips from a stationary store, and after paying the charges, her parents decided it was too much of a challenge to keep up with their daughter.

Postby Alice.Larson on Tue Jul 07, 2009 11:59 am

Name: Dr. Alejandro Roman-Rumaldo
Age: 35
Worker or Patient: Psychiatrist specializing in hypnosis and non chemical medication

Personality: Often referred to by his surname, Roman is a very introverted man. He prefers to keep to himself and pours himself over his work. Though he is rather reclusive, he is still a warm and caring man. He treats people with a high level of respect including his patients. However, Roman doesn’t allow people to succumb to their own vices; whether it is a chemical imbalance or an obsessive behavior. Roman doesn't have much of a sense of humor relying more on situational entertainment rather than sarcasm or comedy. While trying to maintain an optimistic outlook, he enjoys the simpler pleasures in life rather than turning to the remedial joys.

Reason you are here: After losing his wife to a recurring illness six years prior, Roman left his position as a therapist for a detective department with the FBI. He believes that everyone should have the opportunity to live life to the fullest so he began applying as a full time psychologist.

Roman came to the new Asylum after hearing about a new opening for a therapist. He often uses humanistic psychology on his patients in order to get them to reason their way through their own problems. At the heart of it, Roman sees the mind like a puzzle box; one only needs the right combination to solve the problem.
