;Mental Health
Major Depressive Disorder
A person with this disorder feels unhappy, sad or empty most of the time, and these feelings cannot be explained by a recent loss or by a medical condition.
Chris' symptoms include:
An abnormally sad, low, or empty mood that spans most of every day, for at least two weeks.
Loss of interest and pleasure in activities that are normally found to be enjoyable.
Changes in appetite or abnormal weight loss or weight gain.
Sleep difficulty - either sleeping too much or suffering from insomnia or early waking.
Appearance of being abnormally energetic or agitated or, conversely, being unusually sluggish.
Extreme fatigue and lowered energy level.
Lack of concentration and inability to make decisions.
Thoughts of death and suicide.
Manic Episodes
People who experience manic episodes have times when they feel extreme emotional "highs" accompanied by a variety of other symptoms, such as racing thoughts, extreme talkativeness, and reduced need for sleep, among others.
According to the DSM-IV, a manic episode consists of the following:
A discrete period of time when there is an extremely elevated or expansive mood, or high levels of irritability.
As well as three or more of the following symptoms:
Exaggerated sense of self-esteem or grandiosity.
Greatly reduced need for sleep.
Excessive talkativeness and feeling of internal pressure to keep talking.
Thoughts race quickly and change rapidly from topic to topic.
More easily distracted than usual.
Increase in goal-setting activity or in unproductive physical activity, such as fidgeting, pacing, or finger-tapping.
Risky, impulsive, and unconsidered behavior, with the potential for serious and long-term consequences.
The symptoms must be severe enough to disrupt functioning in important life areas, such as the ability to function at work, to have healthy relationships, and to take care of oneself. If hospitalization is required, this criterion is considered to have been met.
Bipolar Disorder
Chris appears to have some symptoms of Bipolar Disorder, but not enough to meet all the criteria for a diagnosis. A person is considered to have this disorder if they have experienced one or more Manic episodes or Mixed episodes (a Mixed episode refers to manic episodes interspersed with depressive episodes in quick succession).
Specific Phobia
People with a Specific Phobia have a strong, unreasonable fear of a particular object or situation.
Chritopher's symptoms include:
Excessive fear of an object of situation that is cued either by the presence or anticipation of being exposed to that stimulus.
Exposure of the object or situation almost always provokes a strong and immediate anxious response, or results in panic attacks related to the phobia.
The fear is recognized as being unreasonable and out of proportion.
Contact with the object or situation is avoided if at all possible, or endured only with great anxiety and/or distress.
The issues surrounding the phobia, such as distress, panic attacks, and avoidance of the phobia interfere with the individual's life.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Chris shows some of the signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but do not fulfill all the diagnostic criteria. This disorder, which can occur after a traumatic experience, involves intense feelings of anxiety and even flashbacks of the experience.
The DSM-IV describes the following signs and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder:
The person witnessed, experienced, or was otherwise confronted with a traumatic event or series of events that involved threat of death or injury to him or herself or others.
The person's response to this event involved intense fear, feelings of helplessness, or horror.
The person repeatedly re-experiences the event in at least one of the following forms:
Repetitive, intrusive recollections of the event, including images, thoughts or perceptions (visions, hearing or smelling the same smell or sounds that occurred that day, etc.).
Recurrent dreams or nightmares about the event in question.
Feeling as if he or she is reliving the traumatic experience
The person experiences extreme psychological distress upon being reminded of or thinking about the traumatic experience.
The person has an actual physical reaction upon being reminded of or thinking about the traumatic experience.
The individual avoids experiencing stimuli associated with the traumatic event or shows signs of general numbing of feelings and interest in everyday life, in the form of three or more of the following:
Avoiding thinking about or discussing the traumatic event.
Avoiding the place, people, or activities that are associated with the traumatic event.
Blocking out (experiencing amnesia about) important memories associated with the precipitating event.
Diminished interest in or participation in formerly enjoyed activities.
Feelings of emotional detachment or estrangement from others.
Dampening of emotions -- feeling that emotions have a restricted range, i.e. unable to feel love towards others.
Expectations about future are foreshortened; that is, the person believes that his or her life will be cut short, or that he or she will never reach normal milestones, such as marriage, birth of children, career, etc.
The person experiences frequent and persistent symptoms of increased physiological arousal (his or her body appears ready to react rapidly in case of another stressful event), in the form of two or more of the following:
The person has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
He or she appears irritable or has emotional or angry outbursts.
He or she experiences difficulty concentrating.
His or her senses are hypervigilant and she or he appears to be constantly on the lookout for threats.
He or she startles easily.
The symptoms related to this experience went on for more than one month and caused distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
He shows some of the signs of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but not enough of them to meet all the criteria. People suffering with this disorder are on edge most of the time, with no obvious precipitating event. This is a very common disorder and there are many effective treatments available.
The DSM-IV states that the following signs and symptoms must be apparent for a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder to be made:
The individual must experience excessive anxiety and worry more days than not for a minimum of six months. The concern must be about a number of different events or areas of life, not focused on one or two specific issues.
The person must have a difficult time controlling his or her worry.
The anxiety and worry must be associated with at least three of the following physical or emotional symptoms:
Feelings of restlessness, edginess, or unease.
Feeling easily fatigued.
Difficulty maintaining concentration or a feeling of his or her mind going blank.
Irritability.
Tense muscles.
Sleep disturbance in the form of insomnia or difficulty staying asleep, or feeling unsatisfied with his or her sleep.
The anxiety and worry must not occur solely as a result of another disorder, such as Social Phobia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anorexia or Bulimia, Post-Traumatic Disorder, Panic Disorder, Somatization Disorder, or Hypochondriasis.
The anxiety, worry and accompanying physical and emotional symptoms must cause the person distress or lead to impairment of his or her functioning at work, in his or her personal life, or in other life areas.
The anxiety is not due to a physical condition or drug use (illegal or medical), and does not occur only during a mood disorder such as Depression, in the course of a Psychotic Disorder, or due to a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (such as Autism).

Character Development: Questions 2, 20, 21, & 25.
Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.
He’s got a little birthmark under his chest of a crescent moon, or like a blob that looks like one.
If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would that person be and why?
Honestly he doesn't have anyone in mind that he would kill given the chance, if he was allowed to kill someone he wouldn't know how to go about it.
Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?
Pass
Do they have any weird bedroom habits? Any unusual kinks?
Yes. I can't think of anything right now so that's your whole answer.
5, 9, 17, 28
What are their chief tension areas?
Right shoulder blade
Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.
Victor doesn't dream often, when he does they're usually very strange or so realistic he has to wonder if he was actually asleep or not. Usually when he can't sleep he tends to surf the net looking up research on the strangest things while drinking tea.
Is your character an introvert or an extrovert? How do they handle big crowds of people?
Extrovert. Victor loves being in crowds of people, of course depending on why. He's the kind to throw a party and tell the invited to spread the word to let others show up.
Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?
Honestly yeah, he's got a weird thing about it since he's had a couple near death experiences. It's not like he's paranoid or anything but yeah.
He does have a few regrets though which mostly involve his family and of course what happened with Abel-- which he only half regrets. He's still p sure it's not his fault that he was pushed to acting like a dumbass.
