February 23 –
Welcome to Gerard Hartley’s Correctional Facility for the Mentally Deranged or the Cage as the patients call it. My name is Dr. Gerard Hartley and I am the head doctor and founder of this clinic. I am writing in this journal to record the event over the next couple of months or more if I see fit. For who ever reads this in the future, feel free to refer to the place as whatever you like because it doesn’t change anything about what we do here. Our doctors work their hardest with mentally disturbed patients to help them through there phase, sometimes there case is so bad, “The Cage” has become their home. Other than the fact that everyone in the clinic is mentally deranged, something bad is happening behind the scenes.
Now that is covered up, we can get to the real reason I have started this journal. The patients have been acting very out of character and one of them has told me that something unknown was in the clinic. It didn’t trouble me at the time; I thought it was his disorder. But just yesterday, one of the patients from sector B was killed, in his room, by himself. It looked like suicide but I knew the patient, I don’t think he would have the brains to do that. I should stop thinking of such things; people would think that I’m the mental one. Until tomorrow, the pull of sleep calls me. Goodnight.

PLOT_
You are a doctor or/and a patient. Your job as a patient is to find what is happening to the people around you. As a doctor, you can help or just take a back seat, whatever you feel like. The “Cage” is a very open place, the patients have their own rooms but during the day, they are aloud to roam free. This is how they have time to plan, talk and search. Let me tell you now, the thing that is killing off people is a spirit, I don’t know what yet, but I really want YOU to create the spirit. It will be interesting to see where it goes. So, if you have an idea, write it, don’t hesitate and then watch everyone go along with it.

SUPER NATURAL_
This role-play is supernatural, not magical. This means that you can’t shoot fire out of your hands. The spirit that is killing off people can reach you through dreams or just in the ‘real’ world. Whatever your creative minds tell you to do. I really want this to be everyone creating it, not me telling you what to do.

RULES_
1. Be literate; I don’t want people that can’t put a period at the end of a sentence and start the sentence with a capital letter. Please!
2. NO! God-Moding and Power-Playing.
3. Post must be a good length; I swear to god if I see one sentence posts I will kick you out. If you don’t have anything good to post, please wait until you do.
4. Be active; I ask that you post at least twice a week. AT LEAST! I would like to see people posting three to four times a week on average. Once a day would be perfect but I know; Life > This.
6. HAVE FUN!

“DO YOU THINK I’M Cerayzeeeeeee!!!!” -what? :P (I know, it's meant to be crazy.)

Name: Jak Doe
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Nationality: Belgian
Doctor or Patient: Patient
Mental Disorder: Schizophrenia
Appearance: There is no defining feature about him. Some would come no further than basic things when describing this man. Though these descriptions differ from person to person. Some would say he had brown hair. Whilst other said it was dark blond or light blond even. Even the color of his eyes changed depending on how the light hits them. Also, if you change his clothes, then you change his appearance. Put him in a T-shirt and a pair of baggy pants and he'll look muscled. Though if you put him in a suit he'll look like a real bureaucrat. He literally was everyone and nobody, even before the decease.
Bio/History: Jak led a normal life up to the day he turned 21. A loving family had always stood behind him and his friends were always there for him. Besides playing games whenever he could, Jak would also play sports and even chess.
On the day of his 21st birthday, Jak had found himself going to America to celebrate in style. Las Vegas was his goal and he took all of his friends with him. Including his girlfriend. However, during his stay there, his friends started to act weird. They all claimed that they had never met her and that she wasn't there with them. Even though she was standing but a few feet away. When they tried to help him, his friends found that his girlfriend didn't exist and that everything he had done with her never happened.And so, in they're desire to help him, they put them in a mental institute known as The Cage, for they had heard good things about it and they only wished the best for their friend.
Jak felt like he didn't feel at home with these crazies. So he just stayed away from them if he could. He wasn't insane. She did exist. She did ...

Age: 21
Gender: Male
Nationality: Turkish
Doctor or Patient: Patient
Mental Disorder: Bipolar Disorder
Appearance: http://anime-zone.net/imgs/review/pr...over_03-05.jpg
Bio/History: Erik was born in Turkey with his two older brothers and one sister. His mother and father were as normal as could be as were his brothers and sisters. Erik on the other hand was not. He had Bipolar disorder, no one else in the household had it. Although both his grandmother and his great grandfather had it he was the next closest to having it. Erik grew up under the control of medicine and never lived a normal life. Upon leaving his parents to live a new life he traveled to America. Erik’s disorder worsened as time went by and by the age 19 he was to a point of great worry for his girlfriend. She admitted Erik to a hospital called the Cage, and has been there for 2 years trying to control the roller coaster that is his life.

[Chi-Chan]

Name: Esarael {Es-ra-el} Lesette
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Female
Nationality: Irish
Doctor or Patient: Patient
Mental Disorder: A Disorder Of Night Terror - Parasomnia
Appearance: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Surrounded.jpg
Bio/History:
Esarael has the symptons of a child disease. No one has ever found out why. No one has ever found out what triggered this disease but that of the element of trauma itself and the mere fact that if it weren't for her violence within her dreams, she may of stayed locked up within her room of that her aunty had given her within her house. If it weren't for her uncle finally givng up, she would of never been within The Cages.

But let me tell you the truth of our dear little girl of insanity. Let me tell you her story. Esarael was fine as a child, actually she was a pure and utter prodigy. She attended school much earlier then others for that fact but not only that, no, she attended school young and yet still had one of the best academic standards of her Primary School. Her parents had taught her, Both scientists themselves, so well that by the age of five, she was placed within A school just for children of her kind. Now what could have gone wrong, as I child yes, she was spoilt and quite a hanful with the fact that with one request, she would be given anything she desired but even so, who could tarnish this young, smart little girl?

Could it have possibly been her parents? You see, her parents where rich. Filthy rich. Genius's of their country, working on the elements of N.A.S.A. Perfect people to steal from, no? It was at age twelve, that the trauma came. Her house was invaded, her parents murdered, their screams heard by their child who naturally came rushing to the scene. There was only one problem within this plan, the will said everything was left to her. So perhaps she could of been the one with the upper hand, but they knew it would be so. Who does not give their riches to their child? For that reason, she was attacked, threatened and nearly kidnapped if it weren't for the interference.

After that event, she went to live with her aunty. She was silent. Many merely thought she was going through the sadness of her parents death. It wasn't till that night that the Disorder was shown. As Esrarael fell asleep, screams were heard. Her aunty came, trying to awaken her. Yet all she did was attack, not waking up, screaming at the woman until finally her uncle came. They thought they could cure it. Sending her to endless doctors but as each day went by, it got worse. She could no longer sleep for fear of self harm. Anxiety and Depression taken over. They kept her locked within that room, away from the people she could harm as Insanity overtook till finally, they could no longer take care of her no more. That is when she joined the Alysum.

You guys are all defiantly in. I don't ever really care for templates that much because your character really comes out during the roleplay. I'll edit the first post and we should get started as late as next week. Maybe the end of this week.
