The Mossflower Insane Asylum

[Rainshadow]

  By the Mossflower quarry and the River Moss lies a large, brick fortress called The Mossflower Insane Asylum.  This is where they send all of those deemed too odd, too crazy, too dangerous to be out amongst the peaceful creatures at the nearby Redwall Abbey.

 At this asylum there are all sorts of animals, ranging from ferrets to otters to the occasional owl, and all are cared for by a similar assortment of beasts.  However, something seems wrong with this building.

 The problem is first noticed by a trio of supposedly crazy beasts, named Shem, Daniel, and Alaina.  Missing belongings, strange noises, and things such as that.  However, as they've been declared mentally unstable, no beast will listen to them.  The problem is, none of them think they're crazy.  Sure, they see things and hear things, but does that mean they're out of their minds?

 This is a roleplay a bit like Briar's Rehabilitation Home for Vermin.  The difference is that in this one, the patients are quite insane.  Some less than others, some more than others, but all are off their rockers.

 Now, in the intro, you may have noticed that I mentioned three names in particular:  Shem Colter, Daniel Ward, and Alaina Gek.  Those are the three main characters of this RP.  Shem will be my character, but the other two are up for grabs.  You can make them as crazy as you like, with whatever mental illness you want, but they must fit this description:

Name:
Gender:
Species:
Age:
Assigned Wing:  (The wing they live in)
Illness(es)/Illness-Related Magic:
Physical Appearance:
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary.
Personality:
History:  (Optional)
Other:

 You may be wondering what's up with the "Illness-Related Magic" by the Illness section.  This is only for those who get the part of Daniel or Alaina (and Shem, of course, but he's mine.  ), so if you're playing another patient or one of the staff, you can just ignore this entirely.  In fact, just delete it from your application if you aren't trying out for the two.  But, if you are, this section is added because the trio are super special and get magic.  (Ooh, yes, SUPER special!  It's special with a cape!)  The magic, however, must be related to your illness, as the section suggests.  So, no saying that they see things and can walk through walls.  If they see things, that means they have visions or something like that.    In Shem's case, he can hear others' thoughts.  This is very hard for him to do, though, and usually his mind is filled with senseless jabber.  Nothing makes sense, so don't expect that skill to be useful very often.  But, he also can sense danger.  This is why he's paranoid, because he seems to think that danger's always around the corner.

 If you need help discerning what magic Daniel or Alaina's illness would give them, just show me the description and I can help out.

 Now that I'm done with that, notice how I've included a description for the clothing.  This is because there is a certain uniform for the patients.  However, if you wish to be one of the staff, there's a slightly different form that must be filled out:

Name:
Gender:
Species:
Age:
Assigned Wing:  (The wing they work in)
Physical Appearance:
Clothing:  A white, collared tunic under a dark grey shirt, and matching dark grey trousers.
Personality:
Strength(s):
Weakness(es):
History:  (Optional)
Other:

 Now, you may have noticed the "Assigned Wing" section, and you might be wondering what the different wings are.  Well, there are three wings:  White (for placid beasts), Grey (for slightly aggressive beasts), and Black (for downright violent beasts).  The illness your character has and their personality will decide what wing they're placed in.  If you don't know what wing your character should go to, you can just say so and I'll review your description, then tell you the wing your character would best fit into.  If your character is one of the staff, their personality, strengths, and weaknesses will help decide what wing to go to.  Again, if you need help, just show me the character description.

 Alrighty, that's it for describing things... now onto the rules (ugh, yes, I know, rules.).

 RULES:

1.  Each post must have a minimum of ten sentences, and it would be really great if they helped move the plot along.

2.  You may only have real magic if you're either Shem Colter, Daniel Ward, or Alaina Gek.  This doesn't mean that your character can't THINK they have magic, but only the three I've named may have actual magic.

3.  If you're one of the trio, your magic must have something to do with your illness.  You can't have them light things on fire because they have a deep fear of clowns.  

4.  If you play one of the staff, you're not allowed to force another player's patient to do something.  For example, you may order somebeast to go to solitary confinement, but they might just decide to do something else entirely.  You aren't allowed to launch yourself at them and force them into a straight jacket.  If you have permission from that player, you may, but otherwise, you just have to go along with what they're doing.  Come to an agreement, you might say.

5.  None of the characters may have weapons.  Not the staff, not the patients, no one.  They are in an asylum, after all.  You aren't usually allowed to take a battleaxe into an asylum if you're mentally unstable.  

6.  The character maximum is three.

7.  If you want to play Daniel or Alaina, feel free to make apps for both of them, but you can only play one.  That way someone else can have a chance to play one of them, too.

 I think that's it for the rules, unless any of you think up something that I might need to add.

 PATIENTS:

 Awaiting Wing Assignment:

 White Wing:

Jareth, played by HeadInAnotherGalaxy

Name: Jareth
Gender: Male
Species: Weasel
Age: 27 Seasons
Assigned Wing: White Wing
Illness(es): Sometimes he thinks he's his younger brother Karath; thinks he can fly
Physical Appearance: A bit taller than the usual Weasel with blue eyes, and a barely-noticable-unless-your-really-looking-for-it-and-have-keen-eyes bit taller than his younger brother Karath
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers
Personality: Friendly-Likes to play, especially games, whether they're board/tabletop or physical games like races, contestses and the like
History: One day he and his brother just showed up in front of the Insane Asylum
Other: Is Karath's older brother

And with both of their illnesses where they think that they are the other, that means that they think that they are the other, meaning that they think that they have the other's illnesses. Thus, basically, they are constantly switching from being the one to the other. (So I guess the staff would probably get quite confused about them)

Karath, played by HeadInAnotherGalaxy

Name: Karath
Gender: Male
Species: Weasel
Age: 25 Seasons

History:  One day he and his brother showed up in front of the Insane Asylum
Other: Is Jareth's younger brother

And with both of their illnesses where they think that they are the other, that means that they think that they are the other, meaning that they think that they have the other's illnesses.

Species: ferret

Illness(es)/Illness-Related Magic: Bipolar/manic-depressive disorder (they're the same thing.) Info: Experiences mood swings from depression to mania (that's what all bipolar is, that's the definition. I did my research to keep the character realistic, haha.

Physical Appearance: (his fur looks like that, and yes, that is a ferret, not a weasel. ) He is lanky in build- quite skinny, with fairly long limbs.
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary- he rarely wears this.

Sasha Arleton, played by Tiria Wildlough

Name: Sasha Arleton
Gender: Female
Species: Weasel
Age: Late 20s
Assigned Wing: Grey
Illness(es): Sasha is extremely sensitive to people's and places' "feelings", so that if bad things have happened in a place where she is, she becomes moody and depressed and even violent. (I'm not sure if this has a name. XD)
Physical Appearance: Sasha is very small, even for her species, and has the common weasel colouring of light brown fur with a white front.
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary.
Personality: She is usually harmless, except when her condition takes a bad turn, in which case she often yells at people and threatens them (though she rarely carries out her threats). However, there was one time when she tackled a staff member and nearly strangled him. She does lose her temper sometimes.
Because of her condition, she is usually miserable at the asylum, and is only happy when she is allowed to go outside.
History: Sasha was captured by a band of outlaw vermin and made a slave when she was very young. However, a group of woodlanders attacked the outlaws, disbanding them. Because she is a weasel, and technically an enemy, they didn't consider helping her in any way other than dropping her at the asylum (she was known as 'the crazy slave').
Other: She wears a scarf around her face because she is shy of people. She made up a last name for herself because everyone else seemed to have one.

Vickers, Carthy, and Sir Sussex Kellion, played by HanNorwood

Name: Vickers/Carthy/ Sir Sussex Kellion
Gender:Male
Species: Shrew, which is one of the few things he can agree on.
Age: 23 seasons.
Assigned Wing: Grey Wing
Illness(es): Multiple Personality Disorder.
Physical Appearance: Short, and of average physique. He has a totally undamaged face, and sparkling brown eyes. Vickers (we'll refer to him as Vickers mostly) has golden fur. He is strong and athletic, as Vickers tries to maintain strength.
Clothing: A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary.
Personality: Vickers is the leader of the trio. He is cheerful and humble, and usually is the one making plans for everyone, not just himself. Carthy is also pretty happy, and optimistic. However, he is nowhere near as smart as Vickers or Sussex. making up for this, he is very artistic and musical. Sir Sussex is supposedly the heir to the throne of a distant country, which is why he goes by "Sir". He is proud and haughty, and considers most physical work to be beyond him, and prefers to help with the planning stages.
Other: If they concentrate enough, they can switch personalities at will. However, only Carthy is willing to do this. The other two need to be persuaded. Also Bolds are for Sussex Italics are for Carthy, and are for Vickers. Also, they all share each others memories, and know of the others existence. Finally, he is in the Grey Wing because there is worry of a more aggressive personality surfacing.

The special lettering will only be when they are talking.

May, played by W0NWILL

Name: May
Gender: Female
Species: Rabbit
Age: 20-so
Assigned Wing: Grey
Illness(es): A form of schizophrenia
Physical Appearance: May is a pretty average rabbit, with dark brown fur and big ears. However, she usually lets her ears droop, as if she couldn't be bothered to hold them upright.
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary.
Personality: Unlike most crazies, May is perfectly aware of her insanity, and, in fact, embraces it. She is a complete slave to her voices, which usually tell her to do things. So, she'll often spend hours staring at a wall. She's perfectly aware of this, but she likes it. By leaving everything up to the voices, it frees her. Sure, sometimes the voices can be malicious and call for blood, but usually they're docile, like May. She is cooperative and friendly, except, of course, when the voices don't like it. She also thinks she has a duty to stop crime in the asylum, whatever that means. But the voices said so, so she is bound to do it.

Other:  No one can see him except for Shem Colter.

(Yes, Lucas doesn't have all of the parts of the application, but this is because he's neither staff nor patient.  He's technically just a figment of Shem's imagination.)

 Oof, so sorry for such a long first post, but there was a lot to cover!  Anyway, if you guys have any other ideas, feel free to post them below.  And don't be afraid to ask questions!  This may be kinda confusing (I wouldn't know, as this whole idea DID come from my own head.  ), so don't be ashamed if you don't get it.

[W0NWILL]

Name: Alaina
Gender: Female
Species: Squirrel
Age: 30
Assigned Wing:  Black
Illness(es)/Illness-related magic: Kleptomania, sadism, can cause pain by touching beasts and concentrating.
Physical Appearance: Alaina is a normal reddish-brown squirrel with bright, humorous brown eyes and perky ears tipped in black. She always looks like she's happy.
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  She wears her lounging robe whenever she can.
Personality: Outside her illnesses, Alaina is surprisingly friendly and upbeat. She will wholeheartedly welcome any newcomers, but sadistic moods will come down on her, and she will attempt to hurt others. Her insanity comes as the wind blows; randomly. Even without her illnesses, she is very impulsive, relying on her first instinct above anything else.
Strength(s): She has no qualms with harming beasts, so she can be a ruthless fighter. Her natural squirrel agility is beyond the norm.
Weakness(es): She has no qualms with harming beasts, so she can, and will, go overboard. She steals impulsively, and will often get in trouble because. She isn't any good at thieving.
History:

I am looking at my signature now, I never thought that it would be even slightly relating to a topic here. In this one, it's perfect.

 It depends.  What did you have in mind?

 @Won:  Looks good, but I'm just curious, did you have any magic in mind for her?  (I can't really tell if her illnesses would have something to do with magic, as I'm not totally familiar with them.  (Had to look 'em up, lol.))

  EDIT:  Ah, I see that you were editing it as I was posting.  Enhanced agility is what you've chosen?  (And if you ask me, I think the Black Wing would be a better fit for her.  )

[W0NWILL]

No, enhanced agility is not related to magic. She's just a little more agile than most squirrels, but not so much that it's unnatural.

  Oh, alright, then my previous question still stands. 

[W0NWILL]

I don't know. Maybe causing pain? That would go hand-in-hand with the sadism.

[Rainshadow]

I don't know. Maybe causing pain? That would go hand-in-hand with the sadism.

  Sounds good, as long as your character doesn't decide to frolic down the hallways every day, making everyone keel over.    Maybe she can only cause pain by physical touch or extreme concentration?

[W0NWILL]

Yeah, that would work. Can't deny that would be amusing, though.

[Rainshadow]

  Haha, yes, it would. 

  Okee-dokey, adding you to the list!

  It depends.  What did you have in mind?

I'm not sure at the moment but you could just approve/disapprove it once I post my app, right? Anyway I'm gonna leave my apps here and fill them later

Name: Skumring/Richard
Gender: Male
Species: Common Genet
Age: 54/Undead
Assigned Wing: Grey
Illness(es)/Illness-Related Magic: He believes he is someone else
Physical Appearance: Average common genet, is rather tall and thin
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary. He has on occasion attempted to dye his robe black as well as sew himself a hood veil and fingerless gloves out of black material.
Personality: Skumring is completely insane, believing himself to be Richard Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the Thirteen Hells, Master of the Bones, Emperor of the Black, Lord of the Undead and Mayor of the Little Village up the Coast which is quite scenic in spring. He believes himself to be invincible and as such often needs to be hauled out of trouble. He also believes the asylum to be the small village of Pretty, Pretty Unicorn ("It's a work in progress") of which he is the mayor, he frequently calls random strangers Maikos though it is unknown why this is. Richard has on occasion been known to kill people on a whim, his strange whims can make him do almost anything especially add to his titles (otherwise yo get them from killing enemies), he has recently been considering adding Lord of the Dance and King of the World to his list of titles. Skumring believes Richard to be the most powerful creature of all time, a master of fire, and all majyks.
History: He was found by a burning orphanage which he insisted attacked him
Other: Unbenknownst to almost everyone, Skumring has actually succeeded in making himself robes and is very proud of them, he keeps them under his bed and occasionally wears them. The staff have never once caught him out of asylum uniform.

Richard's robes look something like this:

[Tiria Wildlough]

Name: Sasha Arleton
Gender: Female
Species: Weasel
Age: Late 20s
Assigned Wing: Grey
Illness(es): Sasha is extremely sensitive to people's and places' "feelings", so that if bad things have happened in a place where she is, she becomes moody and depressed and even violent. (I'm not sure if this has a name. XD)
Physical Appearance: Sasha is very small, even for her species, and has the common weasel colouring of light brown fur with a white front.
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary.
Personality: She is usually harmless, except when her condition takes a bad turn, in which case she often yells at people and threatens them (though she rarely carries out her threats). However, there was one time when she tackled a staff member and nearly strangled him. She does lose her temper sometimes.
Because of her condition, she is usually miserable at the asylum, and is only happy when she is allowed to go outside.
History: Sasha was captured by a band of outlaw vermin and made a slave when she was very young. However, a group of woodlanders attacked the outlaws, disbanding them. Because she is a weasel, and technically an enemy, they didn't consider helping her in any way other than dropping her at the asylum (she was known as 'the crazy slave').
Other: She wears a scarf around her face because she is shy of people. She made up a last name for herself because everyone else seemed to have one.

  @Norham:  I laughed as I read your character.  The captain, the first mate, AND the cook?  Awesome.    Accepted!

  @Faiy:  I believe the word you're looking for when you say she has mood swings is that she's bipolar.    Accepted!  Oh, and one quick question:  Do the staff know that Luna's real name is Savanna Moon, or do they think she's Luna Plain?

  @Jet:  Sure, fine with me.    Although, I did notice that you've got the wrong app for Daniel.  Not a problem, you just posted the staff app instead of the patient app.  Here's the app you should probably fill out:

Name:
Gender:
Species:
Age:
Assigned Wing:  (The wing they live in)
Illness(es)/Illness-Related Magic:
Physical Appearance:
Clothing:  A white tunic and soft, faded blue trousers.  A lounging robe (bathrobe) matching the trousers in colour may be worn on top, but it is not necessary.

Other:

  @Tiria:  Sensitive to feelings, as in, "You said something rude about room 201!  How dare you?!"?  Love it!  Accepted. 

  And a note to all of you:  It's not a problem if you do, I'm just pointing out that it's not necessary to add the strengths and weaknesses to a patient.  If you'd like to get in depth with your character and do so, totally fine, but it's not required.  However, if you are one of the staff, it's required that you do so.
