[HEADING=2]Hello and welcome to the Asylum RP![/HEADING]
Sir Strange Of The House Lycan and I will be your guides to the mad house known as Madam Geria's Home for the Clinically Insane and Unrurly.
The rules are simple, respect the GMs and your fellow RPers, you can do it, if you ask Lycan or I first or if its entirely reasonable. Also, note that this is a STORY DRIVEN RP, so there will be no rolling of dice, if push does come to shove, and you can't sort it out within reason, Lycan and I will get involved. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT ONE LINE POSTS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Now, onto the setting.
Madam Geria's Home for the Clinically Insane and Unrurly was originally built in 1896 and was built around Victorian Gothic architecture. It was soon discovered that scaring the Insane shitless wasn't a good idea, so its been in a practically continuous face lift until 2013, leaving it with a very organic and flowing architecture. The facility itself is state of the art in almost every aspect.
With that out of the way, there is room for 15 or so patients, so may the best Character win!

Name: Kimiko Ross
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Short, approx. 5?4?, black hair, brown eyes (one violet due to it being prosthetic), both legs and left arm are prosthetic, slim build. Generally wears practical clothing and keeps her prosthetic arm and legs covered.
Emotional and mental disposition: Extremely obsessive and rather aloof, she tends to have a sunny disposition until confronted, in which case she can either become incredibly violent or extremely meek, depending on the scenario. She is also easily startled and embarrassed; she also believes that technology is the next stage of human evolution. She is also prone to simply avoiding embarrassing situations through extreme measures, including one altercation in which she changed schools after forgetting her locker combination she is also loathe to the idea of admitting defeat of any sort.
Reason for being committed: Several reasons, the primary one is that she gave many people prosthetics similar to her own, regardless of if they consented or not. She also had a bad habit of stealing people?s memories, something she simply states as ?if they?d done it, why should they be embarrassed? And if they were, I?m doing them a favor, since they won?t remember it.? She is regarded as low risk and is kept within the confines of the Asylum, but she is allowed to continue her research under tightly controlled restrictions, but this hasn?t stopped her from creating more than a few robots that could potentially cause a lot of damage. She also has access to the local patent office; she visits frequently and could recite the employees? names in her sleep if needed.
History: She is estranged from her father, who spent most of his life developing robots in Kyoto, Japan, and left her mother to raise her. Her mother died when she was about 12, since her father was unable to travel to the United States, she was left to fend for herself, although her father did give her a rather gratuitous sum of currency to support herself. She has never held down an actual job, nor does she have a formal education, instead having a ?dishonourary degree? in science. She lost her legs, arm, left eye and most of the left half of her face and entire upper back after a run in with ?Time Colonists? from an alternate reality in which the robotic singularity was reached, mostly due to her. She also works part time in her dreams, and gets a decent wage for it.
Side notes: Her prosthetics, while being fully integrated into her nervous system and being fabricated out of durable materials, aren?t that tough and the servos aren?t powerful, she isn?t a fighter?
But her creations are.

Name:Marcus Shrike (Plague bringer)
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Marcus is tall,extremely tall,standing at about 7'2,but is slender and gaunt.His limbs are long and spindly,and his head is almost permanently obscured by a doctor's mask from the 16[sup]Th[/sup] century.If you were to take of this mask however,all you would see is a almost blank face,featureless apart from two pure black eyes and a large,jagged toothed,thin lipped mouth,that spreads across one horizontal side of his head.It is permanently held in a terrible grin.On the top half of his body he wears a black dirt-stained trench coat,with a moth eaten red tie and a blood stained shirt.On his bottom half,he wears torn black slacks,and knee high combat boots.He wears black gauntlets,rusted with time.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Marcus's personality is never held in one place,in some cases,he is cold and emotionless,in overs,he is over excited and madly happy,and rare others,he seems to be fun and friendly.His mind seems to be a rotten,broken sludge,that changes from a liquid to a solid,and in rare cases,a gas.Though this does not prevent him from being intelligent beyond certain belief,and having the ability to build various machines.
Reason for being committed: He wasn't committed,he's always seemed to have been in the asylum...
History: The being self described as Marcus Shrike,and described by others as The Plague Bearer,has been around since the construction of the asylum itself,wandering it's halls at night and bringing down a terrible illness on those who angered him.In recent days,he has been confined to one room and treated as a human being,though this does not prevent religious guards and inmates from labelling him a servant of the Devil.He's been officially incarcerated to the Asylum for multiple counts of murder,caused by what seems to be a mixture of MPD and Bi-polar disorder.
Side Notes: Is not human,and things he touches decay.

Name: unknown (responds to 'Mike')
Gender: Male
Physical Description: A very tall (6' 10'') very thin young man suffering from albinoism (white hair, white skin, pink eyes). Normally wears a dark hooded poncho and pants. Rarely wears shoes but often has mismatched socks.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Appears detached from reality, often seen talking to himself or staring into space. Can become excessive violent if pushed for information about his past. Prone to bouts of paranoia and schizophrenia. Doesn't get on well with older males.
Reason for being committed: Was originally sent to a Juvenal detention centre after brutally beating a shopping mall Santa. Was committed later after killing an older inmate when the deceased tried to rape him in the shower, with a bar of soap. He was diagnosed as insane shortly after, claiming "He's still there. In the showers. He's still preying on the weak. Can't you hear him? He's laughing at us. Can't you hear him?!"
History: Was found in a shipping container at the age of ten surrounded by, what was later discovered to be, the bodies of his entire family. Spent 5 years in an orphanage, with only imaginary friends as company, before he was adopted by a family. He was with that family for 3 months before he ever said a word to them directly. 10 months later, the Santa incident occurred and 'Mike' was sent to a Juvenal detention centre. Within 6 months he was committed to Madam Geria's Home for the Clinically Insane and Unrurly.
Side Notes: Is mildly psychic and can see and talk to ghosts.

Name: Matilda (17 years old)
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Small teenage girl, about five and a half feet tall, her skin is very pale, and grey in places, her hair is long and wild, black and looks like it is full of years worth of ash and dust, although if you look past the greyish scars, she looks like she would have been very attractive.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Her condition is very odd, but has been best described by her many doctors as "A foul mix of psychosis,
Bi-polar and schizophrenia" she is also very capricious, flitting from one delight to another as if she is in a wonderful garden and has to smell every flower.
Reason for being committed: When she was 5 she burnt down her house, killing her parents and her 2 year old brother, it was later found that apart from the mother, all the victims had been dead before the fire started, she later killed two men while she was wandering the streets, one of them was found without eyes, after this she was caught and sent to the asylum.
History: She was brought up in a rather normal family, but was bullied greatly at school, after a while the cracks began to show and she stabbed her bully in the arm, after being expelled her condition worsened, her parents took her to a large range of doctors and psychiatrists, but to no avail, after a while she snapped, and killed her parents in the fire. She was found a few days after the fire curled up in an alleyway a few streets away, she ran and wasn't seen for a long while as she wandered the streets, while she was wandering she killed two men, and after many years she was finally found, she was then committed to the asylum by her remaining psychiatrists.
Side Notes: Matilda's grey patches were from the fire when buring ashes blew onto her, leaving the many marks.

Name: Ines Garcia
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Medium height, with an olive skin tone, a Hispanic appearance, and brown hair cut short. She wears tight clothing most of the time, to show off for her "friends." (See Reason for Being Commited.) At the time of being incarcerated, she was wearing a blue tank top and khaki shorts. She also has a scar on her knee from a knife fight, that is to say, a fight with a knife she thought had called her a jerk.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Ines has a bubbly, party-loving personality, and a healthy enough mental disposition. She always seems happy, giggling at jokes and getting drunk on a whim. She frequently sparks up conversations with anyone (or anything) near her. However, her cheerfulness usually gets on other people's nerves.
Reason for being committed: Ines has syndromes of delusional companions. She believes objects like blenders or toothbrushes talk to her, and respond when she talks back. She was incarcerated after her dishwasher told her to beat up her neighbor, which she did, and was arrested and thrown into Madam Geria's.
History: Ines first found out about her companions when she was three. Her teddy bear appeared to talk to her about the candy she had been eating, and since she was so young, her parents assumed it was just her being young.
But as she grew up, she kept hearing objects speak to her. She often had lengthy, whispered conversations with homework papers after school on the topic of teachers. She managed to keep it secret from her parents even when she left for college.
While she was at college, her symptoms intensified. She would hear her stuff talk to her at night, and wouldn't let her sleep. Her dorm-mates thought she was crazy, and she was reccomended for therapy. At therapy, she slowly went through rehabilitation. After she finished college and got a degree in music, she still was in therapy to finish off her disorder.
However, two years later, she heard the voices again. Her dishwasher began speaking to her, and the next minute, she was beating her neighbor in the face. She was arrested, and taken to Madam Geria's.
Side Notes: To her, different types of items have similar personalities. Bagels are, quote, "almost too funny to eat," whereas sporks are "such posers, trying to be forks and spoons."

Name:Tom
Gender:Male
History:
To celibate his engagement Tom and his boyfriend decided to go on a camping trip to the Amazon (Tom was 19 Joe 23). They were both extremely good at camping and trekking. Tom was proposed to at the top of mount Everest. Then on the last night of their trip someone killed tom's boyfriend and takes all of their equipment before disappearing. It took him a month to get back to a city. He nearly died. Now see even back then he was a vengeful git so he track down the killer. Takes him 5 years of stalking the killer across the world. Tom found out the killers name was Jac a Frenchman.
Tom started to find out Jac was far from sane. He was paranoid and psychopathic more than 150 kills to his name across every continent. He was fascinating no family or friends to speak of. killed anyone that tried to get close to him. Tom became obsessed with him.
Then the two finally met at a party for some Paris celebrity.
They both planned to make a kill, until they stated talking. Jac was so charismatic but Tom had that winning smile.
Tom was in love, had been for years. Ironic how every time he was going to lose his virginity someone slits the other guys throat.
Tom thought that would be the end of it. He had just put an end to one of the most prolific killers in the world and taken revenge for a crime that had taken place half a decade ago.
Tom was wrong. Tom had spent so much of his life hunting down someone whom had stabbed everyone he had ever met in the back. Jac thought if he ever let anyone get close to him they would destroy him.
Turns out he was right.
Tom finally returned home to a family who had already mourned and moved on. Tom started to think like Jac had, tom started planning, he brought 3 separate flats in 3 countries in case someone tried to find he. He made extensive plans to kill everyone he had ever met Just in case.
Tom didn't realise how bad it was until he caught himself poisoning my own cup of tea.
So he had himself committed here. He didn't want someone like him out in the general public, either he'd stab someone or someone would stab him or he'd stab him.
Physical Description:
He would hardly call himself ugly. He has his fair share of scars and a pretty good tan. Years of being outside have given him muscles to rival most men. (In his youth he won numerous trophies for sports including an Olympic bronze for javelin). His hair is bright orange and far from neat. He is pretty tall about 6,2 and has been told he has a nice smile.
Emotional and Mental disposition:
He suffer from extrema paranoia just like Jac did. He thinks everyone wants to kill him so he is not happy unless he knows he could kill them first. That is why he brought 3 separate switch blades with when I came in.
Otherwise he is pretty normal apart from falling in love with someone that killed his liver, of course he still savagely killed them so that might cancel it out.
Reason for being committed: He committed himself to protect the rest of the world from himself. Almost noble.

Name: He says his name is Sharrow. We haven't yet verified an identity
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Standing at just over six foot, and weighing about 130 lbs, Sharrow is notable for his pale skin and shock of white hair (He sometimes will only refer to himself in the third person as "The gentleman with the thistledown hair").
He does not care for clothes, wearing loose black trousers and, if he can help it, a bear chest, but he is very fond of one item of clothing; a dark green greatcoat of a vaguely military style, which he was wearing when eh was brought to the Asylum. When he cannot be persuaded to cover his torso, it can be seen that his body is lean and well toned, and his condition suggests a man not yet out of his twenties.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Sharrow is a perfect example of bipolar, mixed with schizophrenic delusions. His mood will change in an instant, one moment utterly despairing about some trivial detail, the next taking comfort from a passing word with a 'friend' and the next plotting the downfall of his 'enemies'
'Friends' and 'enemies' are written in inverted commas since they are not mutual relationships; as soon as Sharrow meets someone, he will decide an opinion of them which sticks for as long as he knows them; for example, he is convinced that two of the doctors are trying to kill him, and will only allow himself to be bathed by one of the orderlies, who he refers to as his 'favourite brother'
Reason for being committed
ure and simple, there's no where else to put him. Found a couple of years ago wandering aimlessly and with nothing in his pockets, the authorities have no idea who he is. his condition prevents him from being released, so he is kept in Madam Geria's until his identity can be discovered, or a better place is found for him to remain.
History: Found three years ago wandering around the countryside, Sharrow was quickly seen to be incapable of self-support, and was taken in by the state. The authorities could not deduce his name, and so he was put in Madam Geria's awaiting a 'thorough investigation' which has yet to occur. the staff at Madam Geria's assume Sharrow has simply been forgotten, or his case has been shelved for lack of funding. Either way, it seems Sharrow in here to stay.

Name: James "Jim" Miller
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Tall, white, handsome. Long dirty blonde hair. Averagely built. Dirty finger and toe nails.
White, blank T-shirt and light blue jeans, wearing some stylish sand-coloured sandals on his feet. These were the only clothes the Asylum and police could recover from the fire, as a result small burn marks are on them.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Cheerful, always in a dream-like state; answers people in calm and late responses. Always looking on the brighter side of things, and always imagining surreal and awesome beings and events wherever he goes. He mentally sees himself as sane, and by all means he appears so: He can hold a conversation well, he never babbles inanely, or acts paranoid, none does any of the usual mental people stuff.
Reason for being committed: Jim lived a typical life before the age of 17, when he started getting involved in marijuana use. One night, he got high, and the written-down report of what he saw was an impossible thing: A great, orange and black terrible Dragon. He was found perfectly unharmed in his room, on the bottom floor, however the rest of the four-story apartment building he resided in with his family had burned down, and the inhabitants mutilated by what appeared to be knife slashes.
They then had burned in the blaze.
It is thought that he murdered them and lit the place alight, but his own report stands by the fact that he saw a dragon terrorize the building, clawing the residents and burning the apartments to cinders. He was incarcerated because he was apparently a risk to other people's health.
History: Jim lived in south London most of his life, and he grew up having one of the most boring and ordinary lives imaginable. Due to this monotony, he grew to invent in his head fantastical situations, creatures and people. This pasttime quickly grew into an obsession, and it is here that doctors believe his insanity developed. He started seeing these incredible visions without provocation of his own will; he would just be talking to a friend at school, and in his eyes a man driving past outside would appear as a man riding a unicorn-drawn stagecoach.
This continued on, until the point where most people in his school thought of him as a wierdo due to his looking fascinated at nothing every so often.
Losing interest in his social life, he, while passing his GCSEs, failed to get a successful job due to his unfocused attention and getting distracted by his visions.
It was at that time in his life that he had the vision in his apartment.
Side Notes: Terrified of spiders. If he ever sees one, it will usually appear much larger and demonic than it really is, causing him great distress and panic.
Images (optional): None, sorry.
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Tall, white, handsome. Long dirty blonde hair. Averagely built. Dirty finger and toe nails.
White, blank T-shirt and light blue jeans, wearing some stylish sand-coloured sandals on his feet. These were the only clothes the Asylum and police could recover from the fire, as a result small burn marks are on them.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Cheerful, always in a dream-like state; answers people in calm and late responses. Always looking on the brighter side of things, and always imagining surreal and awesome beings and events wherever he goes. He mentally sees himself as sane, and by all means he appears so: He can hold a conversation well, he never babbles inanely, or acts paranoid, none does any of the usual mental people stuff.
Reason for being committed: Jim lived a typical life before the age of 17, when he started getting involved in marijuana use. One night, he got high, and the written-down report of what he saw was an impossible thing: A great, orange and black terrible Dragon. He was found perfectly unharmed in his room, on the bottom floor, however the rest of the four-story apartment building he resided in with his family had burned down, and the inhabitants mutilated by what appeared to be knife slashes.
They then had burned in the blaze.
It is thought that he murdered them and lit the place alight, but his own report stands by the fact that he saw a dragon terrorize the building, clawing the residents and burning the apartments to cinders. He was incarcerated because he was apparently a risk to other people's health.
History: Jim lived in south London most of his life, and he grew up having one of the most boring and ordinary lives imaginable. Due to this monotony, he grew to invent in his head fantastical situations, creatures and people. This pasttime quickly grew into an obsession, and it is here that doctors believe his insanity developed. He started seeing these incredible visions without provocation of his own will; he would just be talking to a friend at school, and in his eyes a man driving past outside would appear as a man riding a unicorn-drawn stagecoach.

Subject Name: Xander Tarif (pronounced: Zan-der Tar-eef)
Age: 44
Gender: Male
Physical Description:
Height - 158cm (5 feet, 2 inches)
Build - Slender
Skin Colour - Light brown (Middle-Eastern)
Hair/Eye Colour - Very dark brown, almost black.
Notes
a) Close examination of healed scar tissue upon subject's torso has led us to believe that at some point in the past (yet to be determined) he received approximately thirty-two severe lacerations from a cutting instrument of some kind (most likely a knife or blade).
Dr. Matthews does not believe that said wounds were self-inflicted.
b) Eyes appear to be consistently bloodshot. Routine physical and psychological examinations of the subject have failed to determine any particular cause.
c) Left forearm is tattooed with a single horizontal string of twelve (seemingly) unrelated numbers. Possibly a serial/reference number?
d) Subject is missing a large portion of his left fourth finger (from the interphalangeal joint down). We have determined that the amputation of said digit was not carried out surgically.
Emotional and Mental disposition: Unstable, but relatively harmless.
Subject to sudden mood-swings and occasionally violent behaviour, but generally cooperates with psychiatric nurses and behaves in a well-mannered and responsible way. Was initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and later paranoid personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (both latter illnesses are believed to have stemmed from a single event in his past, possibly related to the injuries documented above). Responds to basic questions, though generally does so via non-verbal means (ie, body language, use of a pen and paper, etc). As of yet, attempts to obtain further information regarding Tarif's past have proven almost entirely unsuccessful.
Is usually in a state of extremely anxiousness and agitation, paying close attention to his immediate environment, and often taking precautionary (and completely unnecessary) steps to protect himself from an (as of yet unidentified) imaginary hostile presence, especially before and/or during periods when he considers himself to be vulnerable (whilst sleeping, for example). As a direct result, he must undergo regular pat-down and cavity searches (subject has been known to carry makeshift weapons on and inside his person), and new nurses or visitors are instructed to look out for "booby traps" when entering his cell; these traps range from the relatively-harmless (ie, soapy puddles on the floor) to the extremely dangerous (ie, ankle-level tripwires and sharpened, faeces-covered sticks). Subject will also react badly when surprised or startled. Despite the fact that he harbours absolutely no ill-will to those who care for him (often informing them of possessed weapons and set traps), and has never attempted to physically harm, or even resist any nurses and orderlies, caution is advised when dealing with Tarif.
Reason for being committed: Instigated a hostage situation in Northampton, taking twenty-seven schoolchildren and their teacher prisoner in a standoff that lasted fifty-one hours. When contacted by police negotiators, Tarif claimed to have been himself imprisoned by British soldiers, and wanted to know "if he was safe". Police at the scene described Tarif as "a rambling madman", and his speech as "virtually incoherent". After unsuccessful attempts at negotiation, a CO19 armed response squad was summoned to the scene, prompting Tarif to surrender.
Following his arrest the courts found him clinically insane, in dire need of psychiatric help, and opted to have him sent to Madam Geria's Home for the Clinically Insane and Unruly (rather than a UK or Australian prison).
History: It is known that he served as a member of the Australian special forces detachment in Afghanistan (although the nature of his service is unknown at this time), and that in March 2011 he was declared MIA by the Australian government. Tarif's whereabouts between the time of his official "death" and the months preceding his internment within Madam Geria's Home for the Clinically Insane and Unruly (February 2013) are also unknown.
In December 2010, subject was discovered by police officers in the English city of Northampton; filthy, emaciated and sleeping inside an abandoned flat. Upon being woken, Tarif assaulted the officers using a military-issue combat knife, before managing to escape. Attempts to locate and apprehend him proved unsuccessful.
Subject was later captured when police were called to a downtown hostage situation [see above section].
Side Notes:
a) Subject has an unsettling fascination (and skill) with knives (and bladed objects in general). He will often craft rudimentary cutting or stabbing weapons from common materials (plastic cutlery, bed frames, chunks of concrete, etc), and has been observed throwing said weapons at predetermined "target" points on his cell wall (with remarkable accuracy, I might add). Both of his encounters with the law (mentioned above) have involved the use of knives on his part.
b) Despite the limitations of the asylum, he does his best to stay in shape, and devotes a considerable amount of his free time to exercise and physical activity (generally a form of martial arts that I don't recognise, but in which he seems well-taught). Tarif may be small and wiry, but he possesses considerable physical strength (easily the match of many other inmates).
c) Regarding Tarif's service in the Australian military; I suspect that he is also well-versed in the use of firearms and other lethal weapons (probably including his fists...) and wish to caution all who deal with him on a regular basis that despite his gentle personality he is in no way safe to be around! Do not let your guard down for whatever reason! Remember that he is, in fact, an insane man prone to periods of unjustified violence, and that he could (theoretically) turn on you for no discernible reason at any point in time!
No need to get jumpy or anything... just take care.

Name: Jared Spencer
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Jared is a 6' 5", 37 year old male, green eyes, dark red hair. Thin and lean, although clearly posessed with great physical strength. Distinguished by a scar, apparently from a burn, extending from the corner of his left eye to the right corner of his mouth.
Emotional/Mental Disposition: Homicidal and suicidal mania, given over to bouts of rage so violent he can sometimes appear to be having a seizure or even childish fit. Severe paranoia colors his self-hating depression, believing everyone around him to believe terrible things he believes about himself. Despite the fact that, on paper, his disorder seems to have a dizzying aray of symptoms, he usually appears and acts perfectly sane. During his typical lucid days, he also displays strong mental faculties and a great deal of intelligence. Typically, the only clues to his mental illness are his criminal history and occasional breakdowns/explosions of rage. On a normal day, a visitor who has never met him would wonder what on earth is this man doing here.
Reason for committing: First degree murder, first degree corpse brutalization. Details below.
History: Jared lived a fairly normal childhood, living with his father and stepmother. He had few friends in school but rarely complained of loneliness, he typically preferred to be alone. His one biggest complaint as a youth was his lack of romantic companionship, most girls didn't dislike him, but didn't like him enough to date him. He enrolled in and was accepted into Yale University. He did well, but dropped out after a year because he found it boring and to be a waste of money.
Originally imprisoned for assault and battery at the age of 20, Jared was released early on good behavior slightly less than two years later. He did fine for a while, doing a good job of hiding his occasional breakdowns by being careful to only lose control when he was alone. Then, at the age 25, he was arrested, tried, and found guilty of the murder of his fiance, an incredibly beautiful woman of the age of 20. Police reports indicate that when he was arrested, he was covered front to back, head to foot in her blood, and was found bent over her corpse, scooping her blood into his hands and alternately rubbing it on himself and drinking it. Further reports indicate that throughout his stay in county jail and the trial process, he seemed completely sane, and, in fact, behaved in an incredibly respectful, gentlemanly fashion. He pleaded guilty to the charge, shaking his hung head as he said that he knew he had done wrong and wouldn't lie about it. He was sentenced to life spent in an insane asylum and was sent straight to Madam Geria's Home for the Clinically Insane and Unrurly.
Since being admitted to this facility, Jared has tried on multiple occasions to kill himself. No one knows how, but he found his way onto the roof and threw himself off. Seventy percent of his bones were broken. Every one healed completely. On another occasion, he was found vomiting so profusely that the force of it alone caused his throat to bleed. He had poisoned himself. Doctors told the facility's RN that less than a third the amount of chemical he consumed should have killed him within five minutes. Again, he made a full recovery. From accounts, both from himself and friends and family, he has made other attempts on his own life on multiple occasions before being admitted, and with each, shocked doctors by surviving. He lives today in perfect health.
Side Notes: The one thing Jared consistently refuses to talk about is anything regarding his scar. When he has emotional breakdowns, he screams for "Lenore," apparently a fictional woman. His primary Doctor believes that, in his mania, he associates his murdered fiance with the Lenore of the poetry of Edgar Alan Poe. Discussions with Jared support this theory. He thinks, quote: "When I go crazy, I link Emily with Lenore because, because of what I did, I shall know her beauty nevermore."
