Boy Number Two
Gender:
Male
Nickname(s)/Alias(es):
People close to the patient have been known to nickname him âLove'. The doctors have also been calling him âDĂ©traquĂ©' (french for deranged, mad, screwy, crazy, loony, madly) in private, and the term seems to have leaked. Patient is commonly referred to by this name.
Age:
Nineteen
Love Interest:
Patient has yet to show signs of interest.
Past Lover:
Girl Number Two, Arteryu Suzuki
Appearance:
Patient has a sickly appearance; gray tinged skin, a frail build, and heavy lines under eyes. The first two are side effects of medication, and for the latter it is a known fact that the patient suffers from insomnia. Two other side effects (shortness of breath, weakness of muscle) have been overcome through the patientâs enthusiastic cooperation with his fitness and health programs (most notably the cardio portions). However, muscles have not been shown to build visibly, but we assure the board that the patient is very strong nevertheless. Despite the clinicâs efforts otherwise, the patient has multiple piercings in one ear, a facial tattoo, continues to paint his nails black, and refuses to comb his (black) hair effectively. The patient has claimed his hair is naturally untidy, but the staff remains convinced otherwise.
Examinations have shown the patient has rather unusual eyes; they seem to darken in response to extreme emotions. The newer staff members are intimidated by the patient, attributing their fear to his delinquent appearance and an imposing aura. Something interesting to note: the patient looks to be a stoic type, so his frequent displays of feeling look somehow odd when one thinks about it.
The patient carries with him quite a number of scars; several on his shoulders and the backs of his legs, a few on his chest, and even more around his neck area. Then there are faintly visible marks on the patient's wrists from his infrequent suicide attempts.
Preferred Clothing:
In the aim to keep a calm, soothing mood, the clinic has assigned the patient with a wardrobe of darker shades. The clothing is all very soft, high quality cotton that cling comfortably to the patientâs build. Sharp edges are kept to a minimum, and graphic designs/ any patterns are nonexistent.
The patient himself prefers long sleeved shirts with wide and slightly loose necklines. Neutral towards pants, and favors a pair of thin-yet-durable sneakers with exceptional grip. The patient seems to lean towards the outfits that allow the most freedom of movement.
Height:
5 ft 11â
Weight:
171 lbs, the patient has gained weight with his success in the health programs.
Hair Color:
Black
Eye Color:
A very pale grey-blue. The blue is not visible unless one looks closely or the patient wears blue.
Notable Features:
Imposing aura, âchangingâ eye colors, sickly demeanor, and a facial tattoo.
Personality:
Patient suffers from borderline personality disorder
as well as insomnia (serious), hypomania bipolar disorder (mild to moderate), sleepwalking disorder (serious), night terrors (serious), and schizophrenia (mild to serious).
Insomnia, sleepwalking disorder, and night terrors:
Patient cannot sleep due to chronic night terrors and/or sleepwalking.
Hypomania bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
âHypomania is generally a mild to moderate level of mania, characterized by optimism, pressure of speech and activity, and decreased need for sleep.â
Patient retains a âhappy-go-luckyâ persona, insomnia is not helped.
â[Schizophrenia] commonly include[s] flat or blunted affect and emotion, poverty of speech (alogia), inability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), lack of desire to form relationships (asociality), and lack of motivation (avolition).â
While the patient is social, he does not form any lasting bonds. Staff has difficult time convincing him to do anything. Patient claims he âcannot feel anythingâ.
Borderline personality disorder [BPD]
âThe disorder typically involves an unusual degree of instability in mood and black-and-white thinking, or splitting. BPD often manifests itself in idealization and devaluation episodes and chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationships, issues with self-image, identity, and behavior; as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation .... Splitting in BPD includes a switch between idealizing and demonizing others. This, combined with mood disturbances, can undermine relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. BPD disturbances may also include harm to one's self. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen, leading (in extreme cases) to suicide attempts.
âIndividuals with BPD can be very sensitive to the way others treat them, reacting strongly to perceived criticism or hurtfulness. Their feelings about others often shift from positive to negative, generally after a disappointment or perceived threat of losing someone. Self-image can also change rapidly from extremely positive to extremely negative. Impulsive behaviors are common, including alcohol or drug abuse, promiscuous and intense sexuality, gambling and recklessness in general. Attachment studies have revealed a strong association between BPD and insecure attachment style, the most characteristic types being "unresolved", "preoccupied", and "fearful". Evidence suggests that individuals with BPD, while being high in intimacy- or novelty-seeking, can be hyper-alert to signs of rejection or devaluation and tend toward insecure, avoidant or ambivalent, or fearfully preoccupied patterns in relationships. They tend to view the world as generally dangerous and malevolent."
Patient spontaneously switches between extremely high opinions to extremely low opinions of something/someone. He seems incapable of any middle ground, and his views change with the flip of a switch. The patient has a combustible personality, and the staff is advised to tread cautiously, as he angers quickly and unexpectedly. Older staff members have grown used to it, however, and dismiss the startling displays of fury as unimportant normal behavior. However, they caution fellow workers to be wary of more mellow emotions and behaviors (dissapointment, neutrality, sudden silence) as they most likely signal something big.
Patient is extremely picky with everything; from food to clothing to the the color of the building. Disregards the feelings of others easily, and holds own self in high importance. However it must be noted that, when self-image is tarnished, the patient is prone to possibly-fatal fits of depression and self-hatred. This is most likely to happen due to a failing relationship, as the patient is extremely paranoid and will perceive false threats easily. On another note, when attached to someone/something substantially, the patient becomes physically clingy and seemingly dependant. This quickly manifests into an overprotective possessiveness if danger is perceived (which is almost certain to happen). However, though the patient cares not for the personal space of others, he shows aversion to the touches of others. The nurses are careful to ask permission before laying a hand on him.
The patient shows a cruelly vicious streak on occasion, if worked up more than usual. If this happens, it must be stopped as soon as possible; this usually leads to a somewhat sadistic outburst of violence. Should this be allowed to continue.... (in other words, Louvel becomes fucked up serial-killer scary)

Personal History:
The Regis family has always been a wealthy and powerful one; they claim to trace lineage back to a number of French kings. However true the rumor may be, the fact is that the Regisâ are first class, and all sorts of weighty politicians, corporations, and high-ranking military officers have sprung from the family. All of these influential people and progresses have resulted in what can only be called an empire. Though the Regis family is very wide-spread, the Regis headquarters remain in France with the main family compound. It has been a long-established tradition for the head boss of the empire and his/her direct family to marry only sons and daughters from other first class families, but the heir (an immediate family member chosen by the family head) must marry a distant relative in order to keep the wealth pooled in the family. Marrying outside would gradually break apart the Regis organization, bringing itâs eventual downfall.
While this plan has worked wonderfully, it, like all things, has a bad side as well. Such inbreeding made the family unhealthy, and reduced fertility. Soon, when the time came for choosing an heir, there werenât very many options. While there were multitudes upon multitudes of distant relatives, the direct Regis family pool had shrunken to a puddle.
Louvelâs father and uncle were brothers with a deep rivalry between them, that eventually turned into a bloody hatred. Eventually, though, it was his father chosen as heir, but the two brotherâs messy relationship, instead of improving, only got worse. His father was obligated to marry a second cousin, while Louvelâs uncle was free to marry a non-related daughter of a prosperous car company. The uncle and his wife had many children, in stark contrast to Louvelâs fatherâs shameful zero. He and his wife were simply too closely related; while she got pregnant a few times, the baby was either stillborn or died soon after birth.
Normally this wouldnât be a problem; if the boss didnât have any kids, he could just choose an heir among his brotherâs children. But the hatred had run too deep, and he was desperate for a child of his own.
Through the power of money, Mr. Regis got one. Just illegitimately. He and his wife claimed the bastard was truly theirs, and they named their heir Louvel Regis.
Louvelâs first four years of life were the typical for a kid of such high importance. He was spoiled rotten, owning countless pets and demanding anything and everything he wanted. However, on his fifth year, many things began happening, and the catalyst for most of them was the birth of Louvelâs younger brother, Henri Regis. Henri, though chronically ill and deformed in one hand, was a legit Regis. As if in exchange for his deformity, Henri was a true genius, taking after his fatherâs mind (and looks).
Of course, the Heris family didnât know that when they gave Louvel the boot soon after the baby was born, sending him to a private boarding school across the Atlantic in New Hampshire. They had their real baby, so they no longer needed Louvel, except for perhaps as a backup heir. Now, this boarding school was hastily, if not randomly, chosen. This school had a history of teaching refinery, higher education, and business to itâs boys, by using the rather effective method known as child abuse. Around the start of first grade, the consequences of his fatherâs inbreeding and perhaps some problems on his motherâs part reared itâs ugly head, and Louvel began the long and painful plummet to insanity. As a result of his strange mannerisms and reckless behavior, six year old Louvel was beaten far more than the other boys. His elementary did perhaps everything possible to increase his mental instability; locking Louvel alone with his hallucinations was the worst. It wasnât a normal day if Louvel wasnât dragged away from class kicking and screaming after having a mental breakdown in response to a difficult problem. This was steadily increasing in intensity, until one night 11 year old Louvel was caught wandering the hallways of the dorm. This was normal, but instead of allowing himself to be dragged away, Louvel snapped, and plunged a fire poker into the night-manâs gut. The man didnât die, but Louvel was hauled off to the nearest mental facility.
Perhaps it was some sort of karma when the news of Louvelâs âhomicidal ideationâ spread to the general public, forever staining the good name of Regis.
However, Louvelâs family forsake him, leaving the little boy in the world of narrow beds, padded corners, and sterile needles. But it wasnât all bad for Louvel. Aside from the occasional sexual abuse, his condition was actually improving. He spent most of the next four years in that mental hospital, occasionally going back to the school when his mental condition was stable enough. His education was continued via private tutor whenever he was âindisposedâ. And during those four years, Louvel didnât receive one lick of contact from his family, the only exception being what he could glean from newspapers and magazines. However, when Louvel was sixteen, his condition experienced an upswing of success, and he had a year of blissful normalcy, visiting his first waterpark and loving them from then on. Louvel had friends, good grades, and was dating a girl.
That all changed when his younger brother stopped in to a surprise visit to see his brother for the first time. Henri had grown into a sadistic boy, and for all his genius his mental state was that of an adultâs. Apparently Mr. Regis had begun to take interest in the blooming Louvel, and Henri decided to remove the threat before it grew into something larger. Henri shattered his brotherâs fragile spirit, but didnât stop there. When Louvel was dragging himself home, a gang of thugs jumped him, beat him to senseless, and Louvel finally came to in a cellar.
Sure, there was food and a bed.
But no windows.
No people.
No medication.
Just Louvel all alone with his hallucinations and insomnia.
It was during that time his love for sunlight developed.
>> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>
Now fast-forward three years of mental hospital and increasingly infrequent calls from Henri. Because his younger brother hasnât been reminding him to be insane as often as usual, Louvel has, once again, come into an upswing of mental health. He has graduated the private school with honors, and is thinking about taking a break from school. The clinic has decided to allow him to spend a year away from school to experience normal life, but Louvel was required to rent a room in a house with other people, because things get ugly if heâs left alone. Louvel ended up choosing the prestigious Blanchette manor.
Theme Song:
If I Only Had The Heart by The Maine
I fell asleep last night.
Well I woke up too late.
And everything I loved.
I began to hate.
I know I sound repetitive,
Cause I'm repeating myself,
And I'm competitive,
I want you all by yourself.
And that alone is just the problem,
I've got these woes,
And I just can't solve them.
If I could gather up the nerve,
I'd put my feelings into words,
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless,
I might be able to just soon forget this.
Just forget this. just forgive this. just forget this.
Please just forget me,
When I'm out all alone on the east coast.
And please don't forgive me,
When you're home all alone
and you need me most.
and you need me most.
and you need me most.
Oh if I only had the heart,
To find out exactly who you are,
You know I'd try now.
But it's just fine,
No you can't save me,
It's no fault but mine,
Please just blame me.
If I could gather up the nerve,
I'd put my feelings into words,
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless,
I might be able to just soon forget this.
Just forget this. just forgive this. just forget this.
Please just forget me,
When I'm out all alone on the east coast.
And please don't forgive me,
When you're home all alone
and you need me most.
and you need me most.
and you need me most.
If I only had the heart,
If I only had the heart,
If I only had the heart...
(the nerve, the words,
you'd think by now
I would have learned)
Please just forget me,
When I'm out all alone on the east coast.
And please don't forgive me,
When you're home all alone
and you need me most.
and you need me most.
and you need me most.
