Critical Condition

You either wake up from an accident, or are already in the hospital with something majorly wrong.


And you've just been told you have only 10 days to live. What do you do?


The hospital has started a support group for the dying teenagers, hoping it will go well for them.


Rules:


You can't have anything contagious because you have to interact with your fellow support group members.


Your character doesn't have to like anyone else and want to go to it but you must.


Let's keep the ages from around 16-20


The nurse that leads the group will obviously have to interact with everyone so anyone can god-mod her ONLY. And you can't make her do anything crazy or out of character.


Please only 2 characters per person


This one is so important it gets it's own line-- stay away from the cliches of leukemia and breast cancer. Be creative in answering that part of the character, try to keep your in RP symptoms of whatever you have accurate. You might even have to do a little research but it's not required.

My Characters:


Name: Rachel Perrey


Age: 17


Appearance:

What's killing you: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (human mad-cow disease for those who don't know)


Personality: Rachel is fairly nice to everyone, although she isn't *there* all the time because of the deterioration of her brain. She has a really hard time when she hallucinates because it's hard for her to tell the difference between what's real and what isn't, she deals with this by blocking everyone and everything out.


Brief history: She has parents and a sister that visited her, but then they stopped coming towards the end. No one knows how/why she got CJD it just happened, she knows she's going to die and it doesn't bother her.


Other: None


Name: Elliot Benson


Age: 17


Appearance:

What's killing you: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (bronchitis and deterioration of the lungs)


Personality: Despite the fact that he is dying for someone else's mistake, Elliot is probably the most forgiving and accepting person his age. He's sad that he's dying but he hopes to make his last bit count towards helping other people be okay with it.


Brief history: He grew up with his dad who was a stress-smoker with a lot of stress. His dad always smoked around him believing secondhand smoke was a myth. That's how Elliot got COPD, his dad felt so bad and guilty that he tried to quit cold-turkey when Elliot was admitted to the hospital, but the withdrawals were so bad that he had a breakdown and needed to go to a clinic.


Other: Some days when it's really hard for him to talk he carries around a whiteboard to write on.


If I left anything out or you have questions don't hesitate to ask.

What's killing you: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (A.I.D.S)


Personality: After Jason found out he had his disease, he was quiet. He didn't like talking, and many steered away from him. Nobody cared. Didn't try to support him and he hates it. Jason felt worthless. Now he is cold and detached.


Brief history: Jason was born into a happy middle-class family, but unfortunately in an unsafe neighborhood. He went to school normally, but one day would change his life. He was walking down an alley for a shortcut when all of a sudden he was stabbed by a dirty knife with mixed blood on it. After Jason got healed up, they told him he had A.I.D.S and sent him to a special hospital for dying teens.

Name: Gwen Shaw


Age: 16


Appearance:


tumblr_m86g9e8lJ01qkpjw6o1_500.jpg



What's killing you: Cystic Fibrose


Personality: Gwen is a gentle, happy go lucky kid. Whom, with the right people is outgoing. She doesn't let herself get down, and doesn't want to be depressed, but she has her days. If she's on one of those, you better make way, 'release the Kraken' is just a nice way of saying she's on one of her war paths.


Brief history: It became clear from an early age that Gwens health just wasn't a 100%, CF has ruled most of her life even if she tried to make the most of it. Living in a family with three other children, all older and much more free, Gwen had to keep to herself and make sure she didn't get any germs. A lot of medicine, and even more hospitals, it began to dawn on her that she wasn't one of those people who'd 'easily live to see thirty'. She's never seen the inside of a highschool except for the times she went for her sister's graduation. It has now come to the time she cannot leave the hospital. She's bound to her room there, and the 'support group'. She's basically waiting for a transplant, but even if one does come up, she isn't even sure whether or not she should take it.


Other: Some days, she's acquired to wear a mouth-cap to keep off most of the germs that attack her respiratory system. But she does it in style.
 
Character Skelly:


Name: Janie Flinch


Age: 16


Appearance:
2199695473_66705e7ee4.jpg



What's killing you:Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCL)


Personality: Janie is accepting to death, it's something she has been prepared for since she was six. That's not saying it isn't hard for her, but she wants those around her to have a reason to live on without her. Her worst fear is that she is the reason for her parents to live and when she dies.. She wants to do more then she is able to which is frustrating. She knows others have it worse, but it's still not fair.


For the most part she tries to stay optimistic, not that she will make it to another day, but that today will be a good one.


Brief history: Luckily, she didn't get the disease until she was 6 otherwise she would have been dead by now. Getting it later on only slows down the process, it won't stop it. The first symptom was blindness. Everyday her vision would worsen, she remembers being able to see and maybe that is the worst part. Then she became clumsy always bumping into things and knocking things over. She felt bad when she broke something. Later came the seizures, that's when she was taken out of school. She knew then that she was going to die, it was something she had always known, but when school was no longer important, it became clear.


Other: Nope.
 
Both accepted :)


I am currently in the middle of moving and I will not be on almost all day Wednesday. I don't care either way when we start, but I thought I would let you guys know ahead of time if we start today or tomorrow. So should I make the thread now? Tomorrow? Lemme know whatcha think, mkay?
 
Name: Nikholas Castairs


Age: 19


Appearance: <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/57a8bdc57cf56_Nikpicture.jpg.a64a588183d3e23d660e7b73a0755f67.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="2265" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/57a8bdc57cf56_Nikpicture.jpg.a64a588183d3e23d660e7b73a0755f67.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


I can add a real world image if you prefer, but I generally don't like play bys, since I can't edit them to suit my needs


What's killing you: Severe damage/trauma to his internal organs. Nikholas was in a serious car accident and while awake and, essentially, alive, his body isn't likely to last long after what it went through. Because of this he is likely still in critical care and would have to be wheeled to and from his room to the care meetings.


Personality: Nick is incredibly sensitive to others, and is often more aware of their needs then he is his own. He's a very good listener and highly attentive. He's also highly sympathetic, and is very good at seeing other's sides/points of view when it comes to disagreements - often to the point where he will start second guessing his own reasoning. He gets attached easily and quickly, and often acts as if he's known someone for years when in fact he's only known them for days. He also has a tendency to be overly emotional when talking to people - he wears his heart on his sleeve, and has no shame in hiding it. That being said, lately he can feel quite distant - as if he's living another life or another place.


In terms of relationships - both romantic and otherwise - Nick moves very, very quickly. He jumps into things head first and expects them to last forever. He's only just now realising that, for all that he moved through life like he was racing, he still might not have moved quick enough.


Apart from that he really likes bad sci-fi movies and is a generally easy-going guy. He's a sucker for romance and likes taking people out on super cliché dates. He takes life as it comes to him, and is a very 'play it by ear' kinda planner


Brief history: Nick was born to parents who loved him as most parents do their children. He was raised as most little boys were - playing and laughing and generally going far too fast into adult hood with no idea what was in store. He grew up, as most children do, slowly shifting into adolescence and eventually into full manhood. Along the way he had brief relationships, most which ended before they had the chance to start. He has, however, had one notable relationship to date, with a boy named Daniel who would have become a great man had he been given the chance. Daniel was the only person Nick could see 'all the way through' with when he pictured their relationship - straight to death at an old and comfortable age, still together, still happy, still alive. What Nick had not allotted for in this vision of their future together was how stupid nineteen year olds could be. Especially drunk nineteen year olds high off the euphoria of love and youth and life. He had also not calculated in how slick the road could be, and how hard it was to hear a truck in pouring rain. As such he never expected Daniel's untimely death in a truly tragic accident, or the subsequent slow fade into his own loss of life that it has since caused him.


It was a miracle that Nick survived the crash at all - but not so much of a miracle that he would live for ore than a year afterwards, it would seem.


Other: None at the moment, I guess.

What's killing you: Lab experiment


Personality: Smart outgoing and kind


Brief history: He was a prodigy all his life. When he started working in labs his parents were very proud. He could have gone off and done many good things if it didn't happen. He was in a lab trying to make a cure for all cancer but it went haywire and mutated on himself. His body is slowly degrading being eaten alive by his own creation. All he wants to do is pass on his knowledge on.


Other: Is he too god?

Age: 16


Appearance:
tumblr_mlz798wKjo1r004m3o1_500.jpg



What's killing you: Stage 4 bone cancer.


Personality: Shannon was always very bubbly, but never really appriciated much in life until she got bone cancer. Now she's very quiet and humble, not wanting a lot of attention and is actually accepting the fact of death.


Brief history: Shannon lived with her mom only, and so she was very much spoiled. After finding out she got bone cancer at the age of 11, she slowly began to change, not taking up much offers for help.


Other: Her nickname is Starlight because of Taylor Swifts song Starlight, which she loves.


Name: Matthew Renolds


Age: 17


Appearance:

What's killing you: Hemangiomas (A tumor that forms in the cells that line blood vessels, heart cancer)


Personality: Very shy, but if you get to know him he's funny and nice.


Brief history: His mom died of heart cancer when he was a child, which left him with his dad and 2 younger sisters. His dad slipped in to a depression, leaving Matt to care for the family. When he developed heart cancer, it was found to be related mostly to genetics. His dad is in rehab, and his sisters are in a foster home.


Other: He likes the Red Sox (baseball team)
 
Name: May Clemens




Age: 17




Curly-red-hair-with-flower.jpg



What's killing you: Hemorrhagic Fevers




Personality: May is a sweet and happy teenage girl. Before she was diagnosed with several Hemorrhagic Fevers, she would never be hesitant to make new friends and speak her mind, ignoring anyone else's opinions. She is a hopeless romantic, often allowing her mind to wander to different worlds- worlds in which she wished existed. Now, she would rather stay in her room and tear everything apart and get everything over with. You could only see her true self if she was really close to you, loved you, or liked you.




Brief history: May was a party girl, more like a worldwide party girl. Her wealthy parents- whereas she refused to live in the mansion and took residence in her aunt's New York cottage- would always send her money to travel anywhere she wanted...unsupervised. One time, during a party in England, she was on cloud nine, and was dared by some sadist to eat a live animal. Without thought, she took a bite out of a pig...which had look more like a waffle to her. Two days later, she was diagnosed with Hemorrhagic Fevers, which had been going on two days before- unknowingly.




Other: May has several tattoos all over her body, some of which only 'special people' can see.
