I don't mind it having happened before the imposed national quarantine. Even though Britain did survive the pandemic it is rather hard to get an international flight these days.

11) Character's biography:
Patrick O'Connor was born in a trailer park near Caribou, Maine, to a 16 year old mother who had been impregnated by an alcoholic logger. There he was raised, and abused, by both his father who would return on occasion, and his mother who developed an addiction to superscription medication. From birth he was not like most other children, but his psychologists have struggled to decide whether his psychosis and cotard delusion was present from birth, or was induced due to the abuse he faced. For misbehaving, he would spend hours on end in a box deprived from stimulation, or would face verbal and physical punishment. It is also believed that during this time he was sexually abused on more than a few instances by either his mother or one of her male friends. In short, he received heinous abuse and neglect for much of his youth, and experienced limited social interaction.
Until the age of eight, Patrick lived like this, with his younger brother Thomas, who was born by a different father. Somewhere in between that time, his mother also got pregnant again, but she stabbed it to death upon its birth, and left it in a dumpster. It was close to this time a concerned neighbor reported the abuse to the police, or rather, when she complained to them over the noise of children screaming. Patrick's mother was convicted, and the boys were both hospitalized. Being but a year old, Thomas Winters was sent to a foster home, and at the age of two was adopted. Patrick remained hospitalized until the age of nine, for treatment of depression and mild psychosis and health issues due to abuse, until his father reappeared on the scene.
That winter, he arrived at the hospital and won custody of Patrick. He brought him to his house in Caribou, where he lived with his girlfriend. At first, he was kind to Patrick. He had recovered from his alcoholism, and had begun working for the state in the field of construction. Patrick even attended school for two years. He had begun to heal mentally and physically, and was mostly happy. That is until his father's girlfriend was hit by a car during a February snowstorm.
Patrick's father did not take the death well, and quickly spiraled into being a manic depressive. He developed his old substance addiction, and soon pulled his son out of school. He then sold his house, and abandoned Caribou. He became abusive once more, and this caused his son to spiral back into his depression and psychosis, this time worse than before. The pair went to an abandoned house in the Berkshires, and spent a year living there. When Patrick was thirteen, his father broke into a house in Pittsfield for drug money, had an altercation, and killed the owner. He rushed home, locked his son in the cellar of the house, and simply left.
Patrick spent two weeks in the cellar, without food, the only water he had being that which he could collect. Totally deprived of stimuli, it was during this time that his cotard delusion developed fully, as he believed he had died. He totally and utterly convinced himself he was no longer living, and his other ailments fully came into fruition with that. The only reason he actually did survive is when the police found him while searching the house for his father who had become a homicide suspect.
Immediately, Patrick was whisked away and sent to Longden Memorial Hospital in Boston. He was, for a brief time, psychiatric dynamite. Researchers from across the US flocked to him, to see the affects of abuse on a child and in the development of the cotard delusion. Patrick did not respond well to researchers and was uncooperative, and so the interest was lost. Only a few dedicated psychologists remained. The first step was figuring out what had happened to him, which was difficult due to his inconsistent and very subjective story. It took months to accomplish that, and to fully diagnose him, which was followed by months of struggling with the question of how to treat him.
Anti-depressants seemed to make a profound impact on his delusion and associated psychosis, and combined with therapy, quick inroads were made into Patrick's healing process. He became the poster boy for the hospital's psych ward, and for a little while, doctors were confident he could make a full recovery. Until the quarantine.
Right when the quarantine was established, the hospital began running low on Patrick's anti-depressants, since he required a very specific and experimental variety. Forced to ration and space doses, he has slipped back into his cotard delusion. He does not eat, does not sleep, and transitions between thinking he is a ghost, thinking he is in Hell, and thinking he is in purgatory. In short, he's starting to believe he died back in that cellar once more. Only making things worse, three of his doctors abandoned post due to their independent affiliation, leaving one over-worked ward psychologist left to watch him and treat him. He's spiraling out of control.
12) Roleplaying Sample: We've RP'd together before.
13) Does the character have any family members?: Estranged father whose whereabouts are unknown, a sibling in a foster home in Connecticut, and a mother who is in prison for child abuse and infanticide.
14) Character Personality, and Religious beliefs: Patrick Winters is an enigma. His cotard delusion makes him believe he is in Hell, he is a ghost, or at least in purgatory, inconsistently depending upon his mood. This feeds into his other disorders, as he has a nihilist outlook and total apathy for both himself and others. Of course, he is also soul-crushingly depressed. He tends not to get close to others because of this, and due to his erratic behavior as well. When medicated, Patrick tends to be more tepid, and when on anti-depressants and other drugs the affects of his cotard delusion become lessened to the point he believes he is alive and that he does in fact exist as a human. He also become far more empathetic. Aside from all of this, Patrick is a mechanical yet intelligent individual, and is very analytical, which is part of why his psychologists have been debating whether this is due to diagnosed autism. As far as religious beliefs go, Patrick has none, since he believes he is dead, though his cotard delusion plays a bit into the Judeo-Christian outlook.

11) Characters biography:
A transferred Surgeon from the United Kingdom, Johnathon Armstrong was hand picked to join the hospital following it's opening.
Born in the North East of England to a working class family, Johnathon Armstrong had as best of a life as his family could afford. Losing his father at the age of 13 due to lung cancer (as he was a heavy smoker) and his disabled mother couldn't work, he fell economically behind most of his class mates and began struggling. Forced to move out of his home and into a council house less than a year later he went to a worse school then where he used to be. At first he failed his GCSEs due to a lack of proper studying (due to assisting his Mother), he had to resit them and passed after a 3rd attempt.
His college life was a lot easier than expected, mainly due to the fact he managed to gain extra support for education and for his mother. He passed them, but shortly afterwards his Mother died after falling down the stairs in a public place. This was both a good and a bad thing for him, now he had more economic freedom but also lost a family member. With his money he went to medical school to study surgery and it was around this time did he meet his partner.
Following his graduation he went to the Royal Victoria Institute in Newcastle as his place of work and became well known as a surgeon within the hospital. A few years later he was sent to Boston to work in the newly opened Hospital. He had hoped to move his partner over but never got the chance due to the outbreak. He has managed to keep it calm so far, but he fears he may break as time goes on.
12) Roleplaying Sample (not too uptight about this one): It would take me far too long to find.
13) Does the character have any family members? (they will play a role in the IC): A unnamed male partner (presumed to be either husband or boyfriend) back in Britain.
14) Character Personality, and Religious beliefs (will play important role in the IC): He's seen normally as a calm, collected, rational thinker who's a bit of an oddball but is often seen as a bookworm as well. In terms of religious beliefs he shows signs of neo-pagan beliefs but when asked he often claims to be irreligious or agnostic
15) Appearance: Short brown hair, glasses, short in height (5 foot 4), pale yet simple complexion, and normally seen in his doctor's or surgeon's outfit.

1) Nation Name: Kentucky Fried Land
2) Characters Name: Graham Willoughby
3) Characters Age: 25
4) Character Sex: Male
5) Character Rank: Private First Class
6) Character racial, and ethnic group: White
7) Character nationality: American
8 ) Character’s biography: Graham was born in Massachusetts, an only child. He was often spoiled by his parents, and lauded by classmates. He grew up with a desperate want of attention, which led to his try at policing. He found himself solving simple mysteries, like where his pencil had disappeared to. He thought the world revolved around him. In high school, he started partying, drinking and smoking. When he was seventeen was when he began to take long drags off cigarettes, before having never thought himself to be a smoker.
He wasn’t heavy or regular at first, but nicotine got to him eventually. He began shoplifting, but was stopped after a good push around from his friends, telling him to get his act together. He stayed clean for a while, but his parents soon grew more and more absent from his life. He got into a car crash while drunk one night, ruining his plans of joining the police academy. He was put into rehab for a while by his parents, sending them reeling into debt. They were cold with him for a while, but eventually they got over it.
The rehab helped Graham tremendously. He became a model student soon enough, and joined the military at a time of recruitment. He gained many friends, saw the world, but unfortunately, old habits die hard. At 24 he began smoking again, during the stressful times of the outbreak. His friends were fighting their own battles, and his parents had died from disease. He had no known relatives at this point, and the cigarettes more or less found him. It wasn’t like he hadn’t been looking for them, however. He was assigned to protect Boston, returning to his home state.
9) Roleplaying Sample: The ZONE, XCOM: United Front
10) Does the character have any family members?: None living.
11) Character Personality, and Religious beliefs: A prejudiced man who is trying his best to redeem himself. Graham is a heavy smoker, after a bout with peer pressure one night. He can be obsessive but is really just trying to help people. He is a Catholic, like his parents were. He often pushes friends away by his obsessive nature. Has always wanted to be a detective, but never found the time for it, instead playing out scenarios in his head of solving cases and sleuthing about. He has always enjoyed reading criminal files and watching documentaries on police work, but his criminal record (one instance of drunk driving) would have regulated him to rent-a-cop status. Graham also has a remorseful sense of entitlement. Graham also daydreams often. He has slight social awkwardness.

2) Characters Name: Clement Hale
3) Characters Age: 38
4) Character Sex: Male

8 ) Character’s biography: Clement grew up in Kansas, with two rowdy brothers and another wild older sister.

His sister was a different story; she was always the most popular at school compared to her three brothers, and had a severe case of tomboy. Clement’s parents spanked their children if they were rowdy, but still loved them.
Clement’s sister began growing distant in high-school; compared to her happier brothers, she started going out a lot to sneak drugs. She was a bad driver, from what Clement’s trips in her car could tell him. Eventually, she ran over a child when she was seventeen and prosecuted. Clement went on to become a psychiatrist, his brothers doing their own things with their own families. Soon enough, Clement’s sister was released from jail.
He married at 29, never having wanted a kid. His sister started crashing at him and his wife’s place in Texas; before eventually, she went out and didn’t come back. Clement found her at the hospital, having overdosed on pills at a bar. She died right in front of him and his wife, and a wave of guilt swept over him when he realized he was glad her misery had ended. He became colder and threw himself into his work, before his wife got pregnant.
He stayed at home more often, finding a new reason to live. His marriage blossomed, and his loved his son. Eventually, he was assigned to Longden Memorial in Boston for only a month or two. He set out, promising his wife and child he would return soon enough. Not all things work out as planned, however…
9) Does the character have any family members?: Wife, who lives in Texas currently, six year old son who lives with wife. One of his brothers lives nearby in Texas, and his other brother lives in Kansas, taking over the house after his parents died.
10) Character Personality, and Religious beliefs: Always wanted to know more about the human psyche and solve other’s problems. He himself is somewhat of a cynic and is clinically depressed. Can sometimes have panic attacks, but has kept them to a minimum as of late. Is ambitious, and has big dreams of returning to his family again. Is very technologically-minded. He has problems staying loyal to any one person (not romantically.) Clement also has a fondness for children and the elderly, carrying an extreme amount of empathy for others. He is almost an atheist, but does believe somewhat in a higher power. Clement could be described by others as disconnected.
