[OOC] One Flew Over - Well, you know the rest.

[ningal700]

Will do, I'm posting right now :D And ok, awesome, feel free to copy his bio/CS and modify it however you'd like to!!! And just post it in the character tab, I'm sure I won't have any complaints for what you do to him and I'll let you know otherwise. He's not vital to the plot to me yet, but you can make him that way if you'd like! Haha I just added him and the other chick in to make it less solitary around here :P So have at it!

[SevenStormStyle]

Interesting! I'll definitely make a CS for this one ASAP.

[ningal700]

Yay!!! Can't wait to read it (:

[Bird]

Arrow West

Name: Arrow West
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation/Preference: Bisexual
Mental Illness/Disorder: Schizophrenia

Personality: While most people diagnosed with Schizophrenia are emotionally distant, Arrow did not receive this trait. He is a highly social creature, with a personality similar to a puppy's. He is playful and sweet, and wants nothing more then to be liked. However, he has a hard time separating his delusions from reality, and can quickly become hostile. He stresses over things most people wouldn't think twice about, and worst of all is that he is definitely a crier.

Appearance: He is around 5' 6”, which he feels is kinda short for his age. He is built small, with long lean legs and narrow shoulders. His skin is light, and his hair a dark blonde. His dark blue eyes complete his puppy-dog look.

History/Background: Arrow grew up as the middle child. He was sort of overlooked, something any middle child could relate too. He never did well in school, because people would pick on him, calling him names like “Special Edd” - or maybe none of that happened, and it was just another delusion. Either way, he was constantly getting in fights, and constantly losing these fights.

When he was in middle school, his mother and little sister were killed in a freak car accident. Arrow was traumatized, of course, and his condition grew worse. His father took to alcohol, and his brother moved out and went to college. Being a person who required a lot of attention, Arrow felt abandoned at best. His mood swings worsened, and by highschool he had been arrested twice on school campus. He was finally expelled and spent his days home with his father. Though he said his father would never hit him, and it was just his delusions, the social workers thought otherwise. As the foster system wouldn't take him until he received “treatment”, he ended up at Remmington's a few short weeks ago.

Favorites/Interests/Hobbies: Arrow loves to draw. It's one of the few things that can calm him down.

Other/Special: He is terrified of heights.

I like it :D Feel free to add your CS to the "Characters" tab. Is there any specific room number (out of either Hall B or C) that you'd like me to place Arrow in? He can either share a room with Phloem's character, Ezra, if that is something that is ok with Phloem (what pronouns should I use to refer to thee? :P), or have his own room. I think that I want my character Jason to have his own room for now for further plot development, and I'm thinking that I'll stick with the sexist stereotype of "girls separate from boys", except for in special scenarios, since this is a mental institution and not a college dormitory :P Just let me know!

[Bird]

If Phloem is okay with it, it'd be cool if they were in the same room (I feel like our characters could have interesting personality clashes, lol). If not, any random room is cool with me.

[Phloem]

Alright, cool. I'm at work, right now though. So I'll get to that when I get home. Any kind of pronoun would be fine, ningal, gender isn't really something I give much thought to. :P

@Bird
Sounds good. I've got no objections.

[ningal700]

Alrighty then, I'll stick the two of you in the same room.

And Phloem, totally understandable! Just post when you can. And I just don't want to MISGENDER, is what I'm afraid of. I've inadvertently done that before and gotten some real shit for it. The way that I was raised and taught, there are two genders, so I'm naturally inclined to say he or she. But since I wasn't sure which one, then I just wasn't sure at all. I'm trying to be tolerant and polite, but having a he or she does make it easier to word sometimes haha :D So if you have a preference, choose now, or I'll just try my best to refer to you as "Phloem" every time.

Bird, you can post whenever, Alytra is kinda stuck atm but if you really want to start now then I suppose that I could play as Jason or one of the staff members/Dr. Remmington (if you have any desire to interact with one of them lol).

[Phloem]

Apologies if I came off rude and/or dismissive, I just meant that in a way that I don't feel confined to any part of the gender binary. But for convenience's sake, they/them pronouns would be fine. :)

[ningal700]

Oh, you didn't! And I hope that I didn't sound rude either. I'm checking on this as well as reading Act 2 of Hamlet, oh the excitement... :P I'm glad that you feel so freeeee!!!!! Hahaha unlike our characters ;) You get it? Lol. And ok I'll try my best, I'm not saying that I'll be perfect at it because I'm not used to it, but I'm trying my best to get used to it!!! :3 So I shall just use "them/they" or "Phloem" :D

@ningal700

Yeah, that'd be great. ^o^ I'm kind of out of it at the moment (long day), so forgive me if my posts are a little lacking at first.

[ningal700]

No worries, just go for it!!! I apologize if my responses are slow and/or lacking as well, since I have been somewhat busy today and may be going somewhere in a bit. However, if I don't go where I intend to, then I may be on for a good while tonight. (:

[Shiinen]

I might join this if that's okay with ye all o' limited sanities.

[ningal700]

Of course!!! :D The more, the merrier!

[ningal700]

Hey, I'm feeling kinda tired/down right now to be honest. So I may not reply until tomorrow or later tonight, hope that's okay with you :O So glad you joined!!! (:

@ningal700

Haha, no problem! I fell asleep face first into my laptop, anyway. :P Hope you feel better

[Shiinen]

And good morning! I'll be making a cocktail-crazy girl soon enough.

[SevenStormStyle]

I'm working on my CS at the moment, and it should be up tomorrow. (Just thought I'd bump this a little)

[ningal700]

Sounds awesome, and thank you guys so much for the support :D Can't wait to read the bios/CS!!! Thanks for understanding.

[ningal700]
