Recently you've suffered what they call a 'break with reality' or rather, a 'psychotic break' which ended in you either running screaming through the halls at school, or hurting yourself or someone else in some way. The doctors told you that it was probably caused my stress or some fairly recent traumatic event in your life and shipped you off to Lyle House; a small countryside house with a big yard and alarms on the doors. They tried to drug you, get you to talk to a therapist and learn inside of the small classroom in the back of the house. You have a room mate; boys are kept on the other end of the house from the girls; there are set times for meals and showers and chores to be done. It's all fairly normal.
What they didn't tell you is that you're really something supernatural and they plan on drugging it out of you. What happens to those who don't 'recover' as planned? How will you figure it out?

On a side note, no character should actually have a mental condition. The place is built for supernatural kids and they're brought there on purpose.

Name: Richard Erik O'Reilly. Age: Nineteen. Sex: Male. Sexual/Romantic Preference: Bisexual Biromantic.
Diagnosis: Antisocial Personality Disorder/Explosive Anger Disorder. Circumstance of Break: History of violence when unprovoked, the last straw being a skirmish with a teacher in which he tried to pry their eyeball out with a tool he stole from his science class. Supernatural Identity: Half demon. Stay Length: Four months.
- Being Challenged. - Bad Grades. - Art. - Dogs. - Being Bored.
Personality:
Intelligent and charming, the boy has always proven to be incredibly engaging when approached and often had a knack for holding conversation with all who would offer it to him. It wasn't hard for him to get the conversation that he avidly craved and he often seemed to shine wherever he was in life. The kind of kid that teachers praised for his intelligence but were inherently weary of for his seemingly troubled behavior. Though he's warm and friendly to those he tries to earn the trust of, he seems ready to snap on a dime, and when he does snap, there's often no stopping him. He becomes very cold very quickly and his entire mannerism changes so sharply and so suddenly that it could be deemed disturbing. It only lasts in short bursts and gets replaced by morbid humor. Often making light of his bad behavior, he's definitely not a friend that anyone has the patience for.
Biography:
Born to a fairly normal family, he lived what most would consider a normal life and he was a very bright child who was teeming with ideas and imagination. A love for story books and learning, the child was cherished by his mother and father and there was no reason to believe that there was ever anything off about him. It wasn't until he started school that he started acting out, childish acts of bullying which often ended in skinned knees and tearful tattling. He learned to love sitting out during recess because it became kind of a theme.
The theme continued though his actions grew bolder and more violent, he became the bully that shoved students into lockers and started physical altercations rather than verbal. Usually found trailing after a more vocal bully, he was the added force to any scary team and he was scary.
His actions were brushed off like most bullying and he went through school being one person to the teachers and a completely different person to the students who irked him. Until one day, he had been lurking around the science room and found himself compelled to hide the sharp scalpel from the dissections into the pocket of his jeans as he made his way to the next class.
It was the strangest urge but he found himself compelled to it. The teacher had just chose the wrong time to approach him, he snapped, barreled her over and with some animalistic force, he found himself trying to pry the eye from her face with uneven jabs of the scalpel. He was dragged off of her by the school officer, still writhing and trying to grab for the scalpel. That landed him here.
Circumstance of Break: Would hear him mumble and speak to 'people' only he seemed to see. Was found on the roof of high school on the ledge conversing with someone while his feet kicked from the edge.

Personality: Lucas has always been quiet, only raising his voice when something upsets him. He hasn't spoken much since an incident that happened when he was eight however. He's kind to those who don't bother him and happily helps them out if they need it, he'll stay away from those who his friends think are bad or make him feel uneasy.
Biography: Lucas has lived with his grandparents since he was three years old due to a car accident that killed his parents, he's never really been the same after that. His first 'friend' was a girl who's arms were covered in bandages, he was four and had been left with a babysitter while his grandparents had gone out to have a reunion with their friends, they came back and found their grandson sitting on his bed and excitedly talking to someone he said was there. They ignored it and played it off as an imaginary friend, the babysitter refused to return saying that things had begun to move around the time Lucas had excitedly said he had a new friend. They asked him from time to time as he grew older how his friends were doing, he'd tell them bits of what they'd told him and would sometimes ask his friend to move something, most of the time an argument would begin that had things lifting or slamming around the house that would leave both speechless. When he reached his teenage years, Lucas became quite and would no longer speak about his friends out loud, sometimes coming home with bruises or blood on his face. They intervened when he came home clutching his chest and mumbling about "I tried, they just don't understand, I'll try again, I will." Both allowed him to continue school, quietly telling their family friend -Lucas' high-school guidance counselor- to keep an eye on him and make sure he was doing okay, he'd also been skipping lunch as well she tells them.
That's who they found him, on his schools roof with his feet hanging off the edge and cuts from earlier that were made by the bullies with their pocket knives showing across his pale wrists. He was taken and sedated as he tried to fight them.
@ViolentViolet Here's the first of them, I'll add the next in a bit :3 is he okay? Kinda brain dead right now lol. Let me know
Diagnosis: Borderline Personality Disorder Circumstance of Break: One morning, Sophia was found in her bed covered in blood, wounds all over her body. Supernatural Identity: Shadewisp (Sophia can manipulate shadows and darkness, even converting her body into shadow to a limited extent. However, this ability can only be used when her body is in a relatively dark environment. When exposed to even normal amounts of light, her abilties are inactive and her physical strength is less than even that of a normal girl of her size.) Stay Length: 6 months Likes: Sweets, plushies, sleeping, and darkness. Dislikes: Other people, being honest, and light.
Personality: The stablest thing about Sophia's mood is its instability; she can go from quiet contentment to rage in an instant. As a pathological liar, she is adept at hiding her feelings, but never forgets who it was that upset her. She has been plagued with depression and trust issues for the majority of her life, and finds it nearly impossible to be positive or feel safe in the company of others. Though she is usually aloof and calm, on occasion she can become surprisingly aggressive.
Biography: Sophia the only child of a very wealthy couple, both of whom are the CEOs of the companies they work for. As a result, she scarcely ever spends time with her parents. Therefore, she was practically raised by the nannies her parents hired to care for her. Once she became old enough to attend school, she was sent to a prestigious academy for children. There she never quite fit in; her interests were in reading and other solitary activities, which only earned her the scorn of her peers.
For the next decade, her life was stagnant; those around her at school were far more sociable than she, and she found herself perpetually excluded. At the same time, her school work became more demanding by the year. At the age of fifteen, Sophia snapped; she simply stopped doing her homework and took a strong interest in the occult. If none of the other kids would befriend her, she would just have to find companionship elsewhere. For a year, her search for the mysterious proved fruitless... until that one night, when a force from within threatened to tear her body to shreds.
@Arista He's looking good so far. I hadn't actually expected you to make a necromancer :) I wonder how he and the girl I'm thinking of will get along :)
@Airalin You are fine as well so far. It's an interesting little creature you have there though. I like it :)
@Arista Well he's gay so probably just friends lol. I'm no good with trans-gendered characters >_< I always feel like I'm mocking them so I don't try it often lol

Personality
Vivian is dark and calm, level headed and yet still apathetic regardless of her situation. Pessimistic and solitary in nature she tends to avoid most social situations without much thought towards her actions and she tends to put a wall between herself and others though this wall is built of brutal honesty and a will to be left alone instead of a lack of trust or fear as it is with most. She cares, just more about her writing and animals than other people and instead of trying to show the truth to those who refuse to believe it she walks away and doesn't try again. In social situations she cannot escape she is sweet and charming, that girl that all the boys at the party need to know and yet she still remains the biggest mystery around.

Personality: Eccentric and excitable, the boy is known for his exuberance to become very interested in just about anything. The type of person that you could tell any small accomplishment to and receive heavy praise from. Dripping with natural kindness, it's hard to expect that anything could be different about this boy from any other highschooler. Though he's plagued with a kind of hesitance in social settings, often not going out of his way to try to introduce himself, though it can be seen as a shyness of some sort. Quiet and observant, he is extremely friendly when approached but reluctant for emotional or physical endeavors.
Biography: Born with a natural drive to explore the unknown, Avery became aware of his powers at a very early age and learned that the only way to keep himself sane was to refrain from engaging himself in social structure and he became very good at it. His family wasn't much of a large family, a single mother and a pair of younger siblings who often liked to get on his nerves but he was a good older brother to them.
He went through his life with a withdrawn approach and nobody ever seemed to bother him until the day of the school dance. His mother was excited to introduce him to a girl that she practically begged him to take and he went along with it, trying to keep his thoughts drawn and it went fine until she asked him to dance.
The first touch of her hands was fine, just a jolting memory of her childhood in tones of gold and green but when his arms found her waist, he was bowled over. It was a future event, a trauma and a knife, screaming and stumbling, choking on blood. He was trying to see through the scene but the colors were too bright and suddenly everything around him was full of the agony coursing through his stomach and he was crumpling to the ground.
The screaming and the tears were coming from him and the dance seemed to halt around him, a thousand eyes and dim lighting was the only thing in his sight now. There was no knife and there was no blood on the stomach he was clutching, he couldn't stop screaming and sobbing when the finally wheeled him off.
Reluctantly, his mother agreed to send him to Lyle's.
@ViolentViolet I think Barney Badass Richard might really like her, he's no good at being nice to people though. He might ruin any friendship chances w his awful personality.
Avery is so nice!! Even if he doesn't like her, he'd still be entirely pleasant.

Personality: If you were to meet Taylor you would meet a nice well rounded average teenager, who likes sports and video games. But under that mask he is a inner voice named Bobby Greenhorn that is ruthless, sadistic, maniacal, lunatic. His inner side is manipulative, intelligent and diabolical. Bobby wants nothing but chaos and anarchy wherever they go, he also revels in the suffering of others. In an overall synopsis he like to play games with others including Taylor, you can ever know when you have the Taylor or Bobby. Only a select few have seen his dark side and they have never understood it.
Despite his faults, Taylor is quite intelligent. He has a great understanding of the human and most animal and insect physiology. He also knows about plants and flowers, Taylor has a good mind for each of the sciences but has no master in any of them. He likes Mathematics, English and History, but science is his favorite.
Due to Bobby and his mind state, Taylor rarely ever shows that he is proficient at all in anything, but he always has Bobby telling him one thing or another and sometimes coming out to "play" with the others.
Biography: Taylor grew up in New Orleans with his mother. He had been an only child in his adolescence and was well off. They had money due to his others job as a therapist and her private practice. Taylor had many friends was joyful and played sports to stay fit. His only flaw back then was having such a bland personality; he had no depth to him at all and was once even call a scentless, colorless, flower, by his grandmother.
It was not until he went to live with his father that his life changed. At the age of 10, Taylor was shipped off to New York to go live with his dad, due to an arrangement between his parents before he was born. He found out that he had seven other older siblings. For the next eight years Taylor would experience pain and suffering like he had never felt before.
His older siblings would pick on him, beat him, make him do intensive labor, and much more. His father was no different, always putting it down as sibling rivalry and ending it at that. School was no better people picked on him threw tings at him and made fun of him. While he lived with his dad Taylor discovered emotions he had never felt before; Hate, Sadness, Extreme Pain, and Resentment. These emotions he bundled up inside of himself and created a coping/defense mechanism. He created Bobby Greenhorn, subconsciously, to fight the battles he could not and deal with things that he did not want to.
Bobby caused mayhem for his siblings; he ruined their lives by exposing them to the world and humiliating them. His attacks were viscous and relentless, they were so and that his two older sisters tried to commit suicide and one almost succeed. After that his father said that he could go live with his mother.
Upon arriving home, Bobby was on the surface, and his mother could tell immediately. She knew that this was not Taylor, because of the way he talked; instead of the goofy high school speech, he spoke like he had years under his belt, the way he walked; Taylor walked with a light demeanor, like he had no true destination, Bobby walked with a cold swagger, and the look in his eyes; Taylor had a look of hope and happiness, while Bobby and humor and madness in his. She could see this and sat the boys down for a physic check. She found out about Bobby and didn't quite know how to handle it. So they stopped talking for a few days, this annoyed Bobby so he decided to do something that would get her attention. He found a book in her library call Demonicus Intrapitus, a grimoire. That night, as Taylor slept, Bobby was out in the lands surrounding the house looking for small animals, he found and killed bunnies and other small rodents. He used their blood to draw sacred signs and words in a dead language on walls in the guest bedroom. The book was supposed to be fake but the shrines to different deities and spells actually worked. Bobby had then found out that they had some kind of power but didn't know what, all he knew was that he was the manifestation of all the bad and Taylor was the manifestation of all the good, and he was being drained and grew tired.
Taylor awoke the next day to find himself covered in dried blood, the walls covered in makings, shrines with rabbit and rat corpse surrounded by candles and makings were all around the room. It seemed that whatever Bobby had done last night he had drained himself of a lot of energy because he was out cold. Taylor panicked and wanted to scream. So he jumped up grabbed the grimorire and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower he put the book back and locked the room. Taylor tried to play normal for his mom but that room was eating at his soul. Two weeks later his mom found the room because of the smell. She made him pack is things and was going to send him off to a mental help facility to get help. Bobby found this annoying so he stole all five of her grimorires and left for the place.
Taylor had felt an emotion he had never felt before, hatred. He hated his mother and this hated fed Bobby more strength. Slowly but surely Taylor began to fall into the web of madness that Bobby had strung up, and soon there won't be any of him left.

Biography:
When Serenity was just six months old, when her mother had decided she leave the family without any trace of where she went. Her father, left with the thought of his ex girlfriend leaving him with their child, had decided that it would be best to give away baby Serenity.
A woman had found a crying Serenity in a stroller at a local park at ten o'clock at night with a diaper bag beside her. A note was attached her explaining the whole situation for why she was left behind. Feeling pity for the baby, the woman had gladly taken Serenity under her wing.
This woman had taken care of Serenity since that very same day; being the mother Serenity needed in her life since the abandonment. Making Serenity the daughter she always wanted, but never had gotten.
At age thirteen, the woman (Actual name is Gracilda Ashton Alvarez) had decided it was time to tell the truth about how her and Serenity meet. This had left Serenity depressed for two years of her life. After leaving her depressing mood aside, she had started to feel like she was unwanted by everyone and everything. Basically making her insecure and having urges to be left alone.
As days went, Serenity's emotions started to change more than they should be doing. Then she started to get the random heat waves on her body that made her dizzy sometimes. Gracilda always thought it was normal and it would just past. So she did nothing to help her adopted daughter for what was happening to her.The day when she got the call on what Serenity actually did made that thought flow right out of her mind, bringing her right where she is at today.
I hope this okay. This is all I could actually make at the moment since it's really late. Just tell me if I need to correct it or something.
So we have three Schizophrenics atm. Though I think I would say that @Josie123's character would have been labelled as delusional than schizophrenic. Schizophrenia in it's core is the seeing things and hearing things, not believing things in oneself.
And on a side note everyone, the character doesn't actually have to be crazy though you're most certainly welcome to. It may add to the fun after all.
