-PATIENT-
-Name-
John Bouley
-Age-
28
-Gender-
Male
-Mental Illness and Symptoms-
Dissociative Identity Disorder, insomnia caused by distress from said disorder
-Personality-
John has three distinct personalities - the original John, and then also Jill and Jack. All personalities are of equal age, and have agreed positions as first, second and third personality. Personalities switch unpredictably, but no personality can be considered dominant of the three.
John, the core personality, could be described as a self-deprecating intellectual, and the more logical and patient of the three personalities within him. He likes reading and writing, having published two somewhat successful novels. He is usually calm and collected, and polite with people who treat him with respect. but also quite cynical and negative, especially about himself and his own abilities. He is considered the first personality.
The second personality,
Jill, is a more artistic person, spending most of her time in her room drawing and painting, having been given the materials to do so. She is the most shy of the three, but polite and kind once you speak to her. She is overall a happy person, even if a bit reclusive, but often expresses a great amount of frustration and distress about being a woman in a man's body. She carries most of the characteristics that John repressed, such as being shy, being easily scared and easily starting to cry, due to it not being expected in him as a man, and she became female due to John's femininity which was repressed for the same reason. Jill doesn't like violence, and can sometimes start to cry during or after arguments between John and Jack, depending on when she regains control of their shared body.
Finally,
Jack, the third personality, takes on the role of John's long missing ego. He is boasting, egoistic, rude, aggressive, foul-mouthed, and always strives to be the centre of attention and does not like when someone is better than him at something. He often tries to take credit for Jill's paintings and drawings, but Jill is sure to correct him, much to his chagrin. He is much easier to provoke than the other two, and often surfaces when any of the other personalities are introduced to stressful situations or arguments. He greatly desires to grow a beard, but Jill, to his irritation, constantly shaves off any stubble that appears.
-Looks-
Although he was not allowed to keep his tie, he mostly wears his white shirt and brown jeans. He has dark rings around his eyes caused by his insomnia, and he is always clean-shaven, as Jill always shaves as soon as any stubble appears.
-Why were you admitted here?-
John was not admitted to W.I.A., but was transferred there a few months after having been admitted to another asylum further to the northeast. His was admitted by his family after they had noticed how he constantly switched between personalities, and saw the distress it was causing him.
-Extras-
John has been allowed several things that many other patients are denied, such as pencils and razors, since he does not appear self-destructive or violent, and giving him sharp objects is not considered a risk. He has also organized his room to be divided between the three personalities, with one part holding books, one part having pencils, painting brushes, papers, canvases and other artistic materials, and the third part containing a few dumbbells. The bed, at request from all three personalities, has three different pillows of varying softness.
John is also a patient of Dr. Monica Lawrence, with whom John and Jill are on friendly terms, but Jack is a bit more edgy at her due to multiple rejected advances from him.
