Testing the waters for an Outlast RP. I'd like to have it happen over the course of Wistleblower. I'd also like everyone who joins to be at least a little familiar with the game. Played it, watched the gameplay, read the wiki, whatever.

You will be player one of four technical support workers who have seen the horrors of the Murkoff Corporation and decide to act. They try to catch the attention of media by sending out video files, only to be caught by one of the higher ups. To prevent them from causing any further threat, the four are 'admitted' to the asylum and left at the mercy of the many variants. Their goal is to get out of the asylum alive. Their equipment is limited to flashlights, one camcorder, possibly a pocket knife, all spread among the four of them.

Rules:

1: I would like the RP to be pretty small to avoid total chaos. As such, each person is important. If you don't post, one third of the RP isn't posting. Please consider if you will be able to post at least once a day before you join.

2: If you disappear for more than three days, don't expect a reminder. It's your responsibility to keep up with your RPs. Your character will be killed off and replaced.

3: I enjoy long posts with character development, interaction, and things actually happening. Please be able to post at least 2 full paragraphs, grammar included.

4: Don't overpower your character. Just...please don't. I'd like to keep with the spirit of the game; your characters are not fighters. They don't have knives, guns, nuclear weapons. They aren't 200 pounds of muscle or black belts. They are tech nerds.

Player options:

Technical support (2)
Variant (2)
Some one else, completely sane, that was 'admitted'. (2)

Name: Orren Lafrie
Age: 23
Position: Tech support guy

Personality: Orren has a temper much larger than himself. He's a fierce little man with a loud mouth, a hot head, and snappy attitude. When working on his machines, he can often be heard cursing them to the fiery pits of hell. His language is colorful and often offensive. However, he rarely actually means the insults he spews. Most of the time, he's just venting his frustration.

Other: He has a flashlight

Appearance: Orren is small and kind of scrawny. He stands at 5'5". He has dark brown eyes, black hair, and light brown skin.


History: Orren's had a pretty boring life thus far. He was raised by a single father, went to a community college after high school, got a degree in computer science, and got a job at the asylum. He thought it was a bit strange for an old mental hospital to be used as a research facility, but he needed a job, so who was he to question things? Once inside, Orren learned of the true horrors of Mount Massive. The hospital left in shambles, psychopaths running around, doing as they pleased, patients being snatched up and experimented on. He didn't like it. Orren joined the group of 'whistleblowers' as soon as he found out about them. Unfortunately, they were not long after caught.

Name: Dylan Moore
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Position: Variant

Personality: Dylan is a pretty strange guy. He tend to stay to himself when around other variants, perhaps still retaining a little sanity in his shaggy head.There are a few that he seems to be on good terms with, but he spends most of his time hiding and creeping around. He's civil enough when given the opportunity; maybe just a little lonely. When threatened, however, he doesn't hesitate to fuck shit up. He's gotten to the point where murdering another variant, or even a regular person, is about as emotionally easy as squishing a fly.

As an overall personality, he seems sort of...blank. Like he's just a shell of what he once was. He shambles around in the dark with an emotionless expression on his face, impossible to read, and take small comfort in the company of those who won't try to kill him.

Other: Dylan was diagnosed with schizophrenia before being admitted to the asylum.
He doesn't speak very often, and when he does, it's kind of hard to understand. Most of the time, he communicates with gestures or single words. He often grunts, makes little gurgling noises, or just drools out of his half missing lips. He sounds similar to a Minecraft zombie, if not a bit more realistic.

For a guy his size, he is surprisingly strong. This is mostly due to the experiments performed on him.

He may come off as a slow minded, whimsical goof, but he's actually one of the more intelligent variants. He prides himself on his memory. Being schizophrenic, his memory was never the greatest. However, after some experimentation, he found that his memory became almost photographic. It was one of the only good things they ever did for him. Dylan could tell you how to get anywhere in the hospital, who to avoid, how to avoid them, which secret passages to take, and so forth. He knows every inch of the asylum (save for the restricted areas) like the back of his hand. He knows where each and every violent variant resides, which paths they prefer to take, what time they prefer to take them, and how to perfectly avoid them if spotted. His memory is one of the only reasons he's still alive, and has earned him the nickname "Pathfinder".

Appearance: Dylan is tall and bony. He stands at 6'6" with an emaciated frame. His skin looks although it was was a dark tan, but now pale and sickly. He's covered in several scars, the most noticeable being those on his face. Half of his lips are missing, making talking a bit difficult. His nose is, for the most part, missing. He has curly, messy brown hair and one, brown eye. He wears a pair of tan pants, but seems to have misplaced his shirt and shoes. He wears a shackle on one wrist, suggesting that he may have been held in restraints at one time and broke himself free. He's a pretty frightening looking guy.


History: Dylan was always sort of strange guy. After being diagnosed with schizophrenia, his family sort of forsakened him. He was arrested at age 18 after breaking into one his neighbors' homes and trashing the place. He claimed he was trying to stop aliens from getting them. The court decided to have him locked up at Mount Massive Asylum for the Criminally Insane, for his and the community's sake. Of course, Dylan didn't like it there.

There were always scientists there, performing their illegal experiments on the patients. Dylan learned to both hate and fear them. When the Murkoff Corporation took over, the asylum went to hell in a hand basket. Patients roamed the halls freely, doing as they pleased. Dylan learned to make himself scarce. He's had several opportunities to escape, but never has. He's just as afraid of the outside world as he is the asylum, but at least he knows the asylum.

Not accepted.

1: You and I both know that she looks nothing like a variant.

2: Mount Massive is an asylum for the criminally insane. As in, for criminals who happen to be insane.

3: People don't get institutionalized because their parents think they're crazy. Doctors and courts have to get involved. They have to be diagnosed with an actual mental illness first.

4: Where did a patient get a camcorder?

5: If you don't want to play a gruesome, unstable person, just play one of the tech support people.

okay good. this gives me ideas. cause i was going to make some blood thirsty bitch type but i really wanted to play the "prey" so to say. so of course her looks wouldn't be variant-based.
i'll rework her background to be either a tech or more predator based. thanks.

Also, please find a less sexualized picture. This is a horror RP, not a bikini pinup.

trust me. that wasn't my intention....i would hope you would understand a difficulty finding a picture for your particular character when you know what you want them look like yet you're not particularly Van Gogh. <.< yet again, thanks.

Don't feed me that shit. You can't tell me you can't find another picture of a female with brown, wavy hair that actually has clothing on.

Name: Douglas (Doug) Stover

Age: 38

Gender: Male

Position: Firewall defense/Hacker prevention IT

Personality: Doug is usually very quiet and often reserved. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he is working or busy. Even outside of work, Doug usually keeps to himself and plays games like angry birds or minion rush on his android phone. His lack of a true moral compass has caused him to make a string of bad decisions that have led him to his current job.

Other: Doug has a camcorder.

Appearance: Doug stands at 5'6 and is rather lean. He has neck length red hair that is peppered with blonde and silver from age. He is wearing a black polo shirt with denim jeans on.

History: Doug graduated with a masters in Science and Technology and had the world at his finger tips because of a vast estate that had been left to him by his wealthy parents. However Douglas squandered it all away with gambling and prostitutes. He was up to his ankles in debt taking every odd job possible with no hope in sight. It was then that Douglas had a chance encounter with an old buddy, Waylon Park. The two talked over coffee and about a week later they both found themselves at Mount Massive, Waylon had brought Douglas' skill to the attention of his new employers and they had hired him.

Douglas for the most part ignored many of the horrid conditions of the patients above and it was only with much talk from Waylon did Douglas agree to help Waylon send that fateful email, but he had made a major mistake in his hacking of the firewall and it caused the “Whistleblowers” to be caught.

---

Due to the history of my character I can understand if he's not acceptable but I figured hey. It only seems to make sense that Waylon couldn't have been the only person there who knew what was going on needed to be exposed. (Kind of the point of this RP I believe?) I also debated having the pocket knife...I can have that or the camcorder depending on which you prefer. If you want to know how Doug acquired them I will add that in.

Great bio! Since he has a camera, I'd let someone else have the pocket knife. Supplies are scarce, after all. But anyways, it's accepted as is.

Cool I'll ba makin my CS

Name: Dr Jennifer Roland
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Position: Psychopathic Doctor

Personality: Jennifer suffers under the delusion that the human body holds the secret to controlling the Nanomachine Swarm (codename: Walrider) and is convinced that only through dissection and vivisection can this secret be uncovered. She can occasionally show a sadistic side when a subject catches her interest but, for the most part she approaches her butcherings with cold scientific precision. Unlike most residents of Mount Massive, Jennifer is mostly lucid and more or less aware of the situation around her.

Other: Jennifer uses a scalpel as her weapon of choice and carries a number of tranquilizer syringes on her person, preferring to take her victims alive for future vivisection. In an absence of living victims, she will settle for dead bodies to dissect.

Appearance:


History: Jennifer Roland graduated at the top of her class from medical school and became the coroner of Leadville, Colorado. Unfortunately she ended up losing her job after a scandal involving the loss of a murder victim's body which resulted in the suspect walking. Blame for the incident was thrown around and Jennifer was made into a scapegoat. Fired and on the verge of losing her license, Jennifer was approached by the Murkoff Corporation and offered a job at Mount Massive Asylum. In desperation Jennifer agreed to work for them without a second thought and Murkoff intervened with the Colorado Medical Board to make sure she kept her license.

Jennifer's work at Mount Massive consisted of performing the autopsies on deceased Variants and, while at first she found the science behind Project Walrider fascinating, she couldn't help but be horrified by the effects of the Morphogenic Engine. Over time she began to have doubt about the likeliness of the project's success and sent multiple requests for reassignment, all of which were ignored. Her nervousness about possible blowback from the project continued to grow, torturing her with stress. And then Billy Hope unleashed the Swarm and Mount Massive went to hell.

Only through sheer luck, was Jennifer able to avoid being killed in those first few chaotic hours. She ran and hid but still witnessed horrors that pushed her to very edge of insanity and beyond. As her already stressed mind broke under the weight of what she had witnessed, she became convinced that the Walrider was the key to her survival. If she could control it then none of the Variants, nor any of Murkoff's goons would be able to harm her and she could just walk out the door. She reasoned that something in Billy Hope's physiology had allowed him to command the Walrider, but as she was cut off from the Morphogenic Engine Chamber, she would have to settle for looking through the insides of the Asylum's other residents until she uncovered the secret.

i know the meaning .a schizophrenic person had a brain disorder that affects the way they act but her good side is sane but the shizophrenic side is the one who is insane.So she is technically sane and the was spelling was right so i don't need to come back and know the spelling and its definition

@ Scartlet: I love it! Great bio, great story. Accepted.

Oh my god. You are a very ignorant person. People with schizophrenia don't just toggle between sane and insane, they are ALWAYS insane. Whether or not they act normal when medicated or in between episodes is irrelevant. They have a mental illness, it does not just go away when they switch personalities.

Also, omg shocker, their physical appearance does not change when they switch personalities. Their eyes do not change color. Their hair doesn't change, their body doesn't change, they don't become a magical fucking unicorn.

I don't think you did the slightest bit of research for this role. And if you did, then I don't believe you are capable of playing it properly. Please leave my RP and don't come back.

If you really wanna make me edit my CS.i'll think of something later and jeesh no need to be harsh i think i'm talking about Multiple Personality Disorder not schizophrenia.On what I saw on my reference, it says that people with that disorder can change physically and mentally
