  • Slyvia - I'd mark her as another anti-social personality disorder case. Seeking pleasure at the expense of others? Check. Lack of remorse? Check. Destruction of property and harm to others? Check and check.

    An interesting side note here. Those who suffer from anti-social personality disorder actually have less reactivity to pain and fear. Like, if you hook one of them up to a fMRI, you'll actually see they their brain lights up less then normal people when startled or in pain. Which means that her secretly being an M could actually be explained by her not experience pain in the same way normal people do.

    Anyway, here's where it get's fun. See, because she's rebels against authority so much, to the point that blew up her teacher, she might have ODD, or oppositional defiant disorder, specifically the argumentative/defiant behavior category . If that's the case, then she will aggressively disagree with authority, refusing to listen to people like teachers and wardens. Perhaps she'd even go so far as to do the exact opposite of what she is told. Fun thing number 2 is that those who suffer from ODD often develop another conduct disorder. And guess what anti-social personality disorder is? That's right, a conduct disorder.

    Now, an important side note. Just because she is rebellious does not automatically mark her as suffering from ODD. But the fact that she blew up a school suggests a rebellious nature that puts others in harms way, which marks her behavior as abnormal.

  • Charlie - Another case of anti-social personality disorder. He checks off all but one of the categories: aggression to people and animals (not animals, but that party certainly counts), destruction of property (I'm sure liking to see people's darker side involves vandalism and wanton destruction), and serious violations of rules (wanting to cause his fun at all costs). The only thing not here is deceitfulness/theft, but I'm sure that's a thing that fits him.

Gotta say, everyone seems to be sociopath here. Don't get me wrong, it makes sense. Anti-social personality disorder is commonly found in criminal inmates. It's just interesting that most people's idea of a villain is a sociopath. I'd call them psychopaths, but that's no longer in the DSM (the diagnosing manual used by psychologists).

The unfortunate part about this though is that this anti-social personality disorder is what's known as an egosyntonic disorder. That means that the disorder is consistent with the person's view of themselves. As such, they don't have a problem with their behavior, which makes therapy very, very difficult. So even if the Compound had access to the best mental health practices the world has ever seen, it wouldn't do them any good if they couldn't convince the subject to want to change.

Anyone else wanna get a diagnosis? Or is that the end of my enjoyable little tangent?

Yeah, I feel like you could do some good. GO OUT THERE AND MAKE US PROUD, YOUNG MAN.


And start a cult of Far Side-loving lunatics. DO IT.

:blush: Thanks Charli. That means a lot.

Though I'm going to have to say no to the cult. That seems like a lot of work, and for some reason I think ritualistic sacrifices to Gary Larson wouldn't be good for business.

Oh dear. That's a lot of crazy crammed in one person. Clearly she's suffering from anti-social personality disorder (if she's 18 or over) or conduct disorder (if she's under 18, don't actually remember her age). I would add intermittent explosive disorder to the mix (random bursts of rage/destructive behavior was something she did), paraphilic disorder (sexual relation with her entailed personal harm and risk to her and others, mostly others), mania (she had lots of energy, talked a lot, and didn't seem to need rest), and maybe a little PTSD on top. So, like six disorders? Maybe there's more but I can't think of anything at the moment.

One thing to note is most times people don't just snap and develop all of these disorders, even after a traumatic event, but this is fiction so we can do what we want.

And would Felix get a chance to explain himself, or would it be futile effort?

Welcome to the home of the insane, even Danni is crazy (In his own constantly changing way), and he's not yet decided the hero or villain path, maybe you push him into giving into his insanity and going full villain, or maybe you push him into fighting it and becoming a hero, or maybe Thayne will have no effect and it'll be someone else that does the full push, in either direction.

Alright so we got:
  • Kelly Lawrence - Shyness in itself doesn't mean that she is suffering from a mental disorder. It's possible that her shyness could be a result of social anxiety disorder, but she doesn't seem to be consumed by worry about embarrassing herself in public, so I don't think that's it. Unless the shyness is causing her distress, then I'd say she's perfectly normal.

  • Nera Nox - With her personality unknown, I don't know what to say. I could slap her with anti-social personality disorder, but that's only if she's still technically human. If she's a spirit and aggressiveness/violence is the norm for them, then she wouldn't be suffering from any abnormal psychology.

  • Cancer - I don't see anything that suggests she is suffering from a mental disorder

Well first, sociopathy isn't diagnosis in the DSM. Psychopathy was once in it, but is no longer in the DSM-V.

Thing is, cognition isn't a factor in diagnosing people with conduct disorder or anti-social personality disorder. So even if she doesn't understand right and wrong she'd still be diagnosed with one of those disorders because she meets the criteria. In fact, children under the age of ten can be diagnosed with childhood-onset conduct disorder.

On a different note, children are actually capable of showing morality as early as 2 years of age. We actually watched a video in my developmental psych class about toddlers helping their parents when they dropped things, showing altruism exists at that early of an age.

Kractero wrote:Explain himself? About what?

Well, if he's being told to stop, he'd ask why. Then when the book told him it cause he's magic, would he be able to explain how he has can actually control his gifts, and therefore wouldn't be consumed by it like Augustus?

So yeah, Qiang is sane too. Nothing in his app suggests he's suffering from any psychological problems.

I also realized I made a mistake. Anyone under 18 cannot be diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder, and instead would have to be diagnosed with conduct disorder. Doesn't change anything but semantics, as they are basically the same aside from the age difference, but still. Don't want to be spouting lies to you guys.

Yep, once I can think of an excuse to get Danni out of his chair, he definitely has to talk to Patchwork, though if the actual orientation starts soon, he can just do so afterwards. Felix would be interesting to, but beyond that, I only have a rough idea of who I want to interact with, and how Danni would react to most of the basic personalities in his current state.

I have no one to interact with, because I'm to worried.

This worryingly reflects my life in general.
I have gazed beyond the bounds of infinity, the folds of reality that keep us entombed in disillusion, hiding us from the treasures of ultimate knowledge, and thus, ultimate power.

If knowledge is power, then we are all powerless and the universe is god.

Also..umm...can someone be a sociopath if they don't UNDERSTAND right and wrong? Like a child, for instance.

Well first, sociopathy isn't diagnosis in the DSM. Psychopathy was once in it, but is no longer in the DSM-V.

Thing is, cognition isn't a factor in diagnosing people with conduct disorder or anti-social personality disorder. So even if she doesn't understand right and wrong she'd still be diagnosed with one of those disorders because she meets the criteria. In fact, children under the age of ten can be diagnosed with childhood-onset conduct disorder.

On a different note, children are actually capable of showing morality as early as 2 years of age. We actually watched a video in my developmental psych class about toddlers helping their parents when they dropped things, showing altruism exists at that early of an age.

Well, my Felix is sane. But I believe we're in the minority.

Well, if he's being told to stop, he'd ask why. Then when the book told him it cause he's magic, would he be able to explain how he has can actually control his gifts, and therefore wouldn't be consumed by it like Augustus?


Ooh, could you diagnose Lucian, too? :o
Though I'm not so sure there's much to him, I didn't really think about it like this lol

Student Application
* = Optional
Character Name: Laura Templeton
*Superhero Name*: (Required for established Metas)
Nationality/Place of Origin: California, USA (Where is the character from, can be anywhere around the world.)
Hero/Villain/Not Sure: not sure
Affiliations: shadow council/whoever will have her (Shadow Council/Otherwise, nothing else aside form those hoices unless you tg me first.)
Age (Between 13 and 19): 14
Gender: female
Appearance: Short, even for her age (about 4 11), cute, almost childlike features. Long brown hair, and strange, always staring brown eyes. Body is extremely scarred, and covered in knife, burn and blunt instrument marks.
Abilities & Weaknesses: Sarah is unable to kill herself, although she may always want to. She is able to heal wounds rather instantly, though only ones that she creates herself or were created with her permission. She can decide when said healing takes place, however it is always instant though leaves a scar. She is able to manipulate vast amounts of energy, including the creation of constructs such as knives, weapons and shields. She is also able to manipulate the elements to some extent. Weaknesses are that the amount of power she is able to wield is directly controlled by how much pain she happens to be in, and she does not like pain in a strange way, so is often unable to use her powers unless the situation is so dire that she is happy to seriously hurt herself.
Bio: Laura was born just another poor girl in the wrong part of LA that the world had no expectations of. Her parents were constantly moving her between houses, in the periods where one or both of them was not in jail. How she was not picked up by child protective services is a mystery that was created for the purposes of making this character work in an rp...anyway on with the show. When she was 9, her older brother decided she was old enough to 'work' for him: work meant being his own little mule to deliver drugs and other little things of questionable legality that her brother decided needed delivering. Things got really bad when her brother took her to one of his friends houses, even though he was expressly told by their parents to do nothing of the sort. Their were drugs and booze at the house and a little iirl like her was easily tempted; she ended up being semi-conscious, unresistant pray for a lot od drunk, extremely sick men with very little morals. Or so they believed. When she awoke she was lying their, covered in blood and two of the men were lying in charred heaps around her: her power was born.
And...she hated it. She ran from the house, and in her drunk and drugged-up state she was rather emotional. She believed she was garbage, and where did garbage go: on the rubbish tip. She literally ran to the rubbish tip, lay down and hoped to die. However, things could get worse for the little girl as she was picked up by a local gang who used that area of town for smoking and the exchange of articles of questionable legality. It only took them about two weeks to learn that beating her severely resulted in flashbacks of what she had done when she was out of control, and the teturn of her powers. And so, quite obviously, when she did something wrong she was beaten very severely...and when she was crying and begging them to stop, they'd offer to stop. If, of course, she'd use her powers for whatever reason they had for her to use them. She became their superpowered cute killing machine, happy to do anything unless the beatings stopped. The problem was, this gang were very quick learners and they worked out that her powers got stronger the longer and harsher the beatings they gave her were, and so when they wanted her to do more extreme acts, they'd lay into her with knives, baseball bats and whips. Soon, she was killing as a daily event, and who'd believe that the murderer was a cute little girl in toarn clothing who always looked desperately sad? Their came a day, though, when something in her snapped. They'd pushed her too far, and she hit back with a wall of superheated energy that killed not only the gang but the occupants of the nearby houses. She was found, by the shadow council, in a pool of her own blood, curled in the fetal position, begging to be killed.

Personality: Submissive, survile and childlike. She will probably find the first person who makes her feel safe, even if that person does occasionally hit her. She'll do whatever he tells her to do, and basically be inseparable from him. Oh, and if anyone is wondering where I'm going with this, it would be far too weird for me to rp, and so the person she decides is God will not be Felix Malor. When she is not trying to be someones servant, she is very much childlike. She hasn't really developed the social skills of someone her age, and is prone to saying things that sound odd from a teenager. However, even as a child, she is still sad and withdrawn.
RP Sample: no (Typed or links)
*Likes/Dislikes*: Likes: safety, people who make her happy, friendship, comfort, having her life controlled for her (though preferably without pain.) Dislikes: pain, herself, her powers.
*Reasons to be sent*: If you hurt her enough, she'll go mental and knock down houses. (Why are they at the Compound what did they do, put N/A if detailed in the Bio portion)
*Additional Notes*:
*Voice actor*:

If Valeria Nieves is accepted, than possibly depending on how you define sniper... See her app on the first page.
Things Betwixt - A fantasy, with a team of 5 characters in your party. More about die rolling to decide things based on skill points, etc., than just random chance. I play 5 greedy goblins.

Felix Fortuna, Charlie and Kelly should make a club. They could call it the "stable" since they're the only stable ones... Unless I'm missing someone.

Here's Valeria (spelled with an "a" at the end and not an "e") with the agility taken out. OP, is she accepted?


A new (and revised) character app for me. (!)


Student Application
* = Optional
Character Name: Valeria Nieves
*Superhero Name*: (Required for established Metas) The Marauder
Nationality/Place of Origin: (Where is the character from, can be anywhere around the world.) Guadalajara, Mexico
Hero/Villain/Not Sure: More scrupulous kind of hero than villain.
Affiliations: (Shadow Council/Otherwise, nothing else aside form those choices unless you tg me first.) None
Age (Between 13 and 19): 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... mrc&uact=8

Abilities & Weaknesses:
Abilities - Gun Protrusion - http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Gun_Protrusion - Valeria's left arm ends in a metallic, non-ferrous alloy based cannon. The cannon can shoot 10 pulse charges a second. Damage is controllable by Valeria's willpower (can scrape paint off walls, to stun, to disrupt central nervous systems).

Weapon State - http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_State - Valeria can also change the state of the shots she fires. While she normally fires pulse charges, she can make a defensive energy shield, a slashing shot, a targeted shot so that even if she isn't aiming at the target, it will hit; and a fiery shot (like a flamethrower).

Weapon Negation - http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_Negation - Guns don't work against Valeria. (Grenades, stunners, knives and other handheld melee weapons still will).

Gun Manipulation - http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Gun_Manipulation - Valeria can control all guns around her in a 50 ft. radius. She can prevent them from firing, turn them against the firer and shoot, or disassemble them.


Bio: Valeria Nieves was forced by her brother into helping him smuggle drugs. At first she was a mule, and made several drops with her brother. After several months, she came under the attention of law enforcement and unwittingly led them to the lieutenants who oversaw the smuggling. A fight ensued, her brother was shot, and Valeria was captured. The ring was broken up, and Valeria was sentenced to juvenile detention. While in custody, Valeria was chosen to undergo a unique surgical experiment, fusing a pulse cannon into her physical frame. She not only found that she had a weapon now instead of a left hand, but also a shield, and had a means of changing its purpose. She also found herself immune to guns and able to control them in a radius.

With her new weapon, she was deemed too unsafe for the normal juvenile centers. The Shadow Council was informed, and Valeria was sentenced to serve the rest of her term, or her life, whichever was shortest, at the Compound.

Personality: Reserved. Misses her brother. Has little respect for law enforcement, but also doesn't agree with drug lords.
RP Sample: (Typed or links) - You've seen how I write for Charlie Meschke.
*Likes/Dislikes*:
Likes - People who won't look at her past and automatically think they know her; hot weather
Dislikes - Pushy people; people who want to know too much about her past, for which she is ashamed; people who jump to assumptions; cold weather
*Reasons to be sent*: (Why are they at the Compound what did they do, put N/A if detailed in the Bio portion) See bio
*Additional Notes*: None
*Voice actor*: None
