Name: Mark
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Group: Human
Occupation: Works as a Psychologist and Psychiatrist at Oxford University in England (also teaches a class for one semester a year, or two if there isn't much work or research to do, but then again, there is always stuff to tinker with where the human brain is concerned)
Appearance: Like any busy book worm he is constantly
Personality: A little nervous but very smart.He is a stickler for grammar, often going out of his way to correct people in a conversation (though he’s gotten better about that since the school board brought it up last meeting). A nice and fair person, he is soft spoken and tries (almost desperately) to avoid conflict.
Powers: He suffers from Waking Dreams, due to a side effect of prolonged self-induced insomnia
Other Information:
His psychological studies originally led him to participate in a university project that claimed they had created a pill that could safely allow human’s to control their sleeping minds. Many of his student patients’ problems were rooted in the fact that they often suffered from a lack of a creative outlet or an ability to correctly express and think through many of their deeper and more traumatizing problems. In order to, perhaps, fully help his patients (Being able to control one’s dreams may help in the ability to find closure, or regain some sort of creative control over an out of control mind) he decided to take the pills. Sadly, the initial dose was too high, and though he had helped in the project itself, the project still needed a human test subject. The end result gave him chronic insomnia, and waking dreams. He is now going on his 10th month without sleep. Slowly he is discovering that the boundaries between reality and fiction are blurred in a world where the subconscious mind can take over during conscious waking hours. Glimpses of things that aren’t really happening, delusions fit for dreams will suddenly happen in snippets and without warning, causing his mind to slip further and further into the blur. There is no estimate on when this side-effect will wear off, but a lower dose of the drug was released anyway into the public, though there still rests the concern that the drug may still cause similar side-effects of delusions.
Author’s note: All of this at the bottom is subject to change depending on what the plot is. These are my assumptions according to my character’s history.
