Odd Topic: Character Medication

[alexfangtalon]

A little weird yes, but I have trouble figuring out what sort of medication a doctor would prescribe one of my characters. The basics is that they have occasional mental breakdowns and has Depersonalization Disorder. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Depersonalization disorder doesn't really have any specific medication, nor do "occasional mental breakdowns", though the former is treated usually with anti-anxiety meds like Prozac and Klonopin.

@DeadBeatWalking Thank you.

Heh. Google can also be helpful for figuring out such, @alexfangtalon.

A couple of years ago we studied the structure of the human nervous system to figure out exactly where a character needed an injury to be crippled in the right fashion. Fun times. Not every day or character you can go for a crippling injury in the character sheet background.

@Ellri Hey, I feel awkward mentioning this but I even studied various torture/interrogation techniques. It was a really weird scenario.

Nothing wrong with that, @alexfangtalon. RP is where you can get away with doing stuff you would never do otherwise. Expose characters to the worst sorts of horrors.

One of our RPs, set for a reboot soonish, features torture scenes.

If it works right for a character, we do not even see a problem involving it in a rape situation, though that is a different kind of evil. Mind you, it's not proper to describe it in any sort of detail. Comprehension of the level of horror that involves for the victim is thankfully difficult. We personally hope nobody we know get to feel such in RL.

RP characters aren't particularly lucky when their players consider them eligible for such.
