The Horse Asylum (Sign-Up!)

The place for the lunes, the kooks, and the mentally unstable. Everyone knows it exists. Asylums are needed for a healthy society, right? To take in patients, help them, and usually send them back out into the vast world? But, then why are there so many ponies here? Why aren't any being sent home? And why are there so many that don't even seem like the belong here... They took you from your home and brought you here, for rumors have been swirling around town that you had some 'problems'. That you weren't normal.

The walls and marble floors are bleached white and smells of over-dosed medicine fills your nostrils. Some doctors glare at you, others tired, and some even give resentful gaze. There are screams from rooms, laughter from others, chatting, just repeating the same words in a continuous cycle, just barely heard with the sounds of frantic whispers, and some rooms, which you know are being used, are filled with deadening silence.

Welcome to The Horse Asylum.


Okay, so this is how it will work: You take one or more of your characters and sign them up here. You are still a pony/unicorn/pegasi.

How It Should Look:

Character Name: (Name)
Link To Character App: (Link)
Disability/Disorders: (This is the reason you're character is in the asylum. I'll trust you pick one fitting for your OC's personality.)
Other:(If there are some differences other then the disability in your character in this AU, put it here. Like, if they're a long-term patient, new, aggressive, completely insane, not-insane-at-all-why-am-I-here, if you have a picture of you're character insane, etc. No, seriously, you'll want to put at least something little here.)

You can have more then one disorder, hay, you can have 5! A lot of disorders lead to another. But please, try to stay real. It's liking making an OC. You can have one with weird and peculiar and kinda scary traits, but no 'evil chaotic unreal has-every-thing-wrong-with-them'.

Other Characters/Workers In This AU:

The Doctors: The ones who try to 'cure' you. Most are all business. They may seem nice at the beginning, but they usually get harsher and harsher. Not all the time. Sometimes they just get tired, or melancholy. You never have the same doctor for longer then a month, though.

The Hatchets: All mares, all tall and slender, and all in that ageless phase of life where they could be 30 and 50 at the same time. They come in many colors, but either they always have their manes tied up in buns. They each also share the same cruel attitude and curled smirk. You don't even know what they're there for, other then antagonizing you and being ruthless when the other employees aren't looking. They all share a last name. Chipped Hatchet. Chopped Hatchet. Red Hatchet. Russet Hatchet. Copper Hatchet. Each of them is to be called 'Miss Hatchet', though, and will slap you otherwise.

The Smilers: The ones that bring you lunch accompanied with a cheery hello if you're not allowed to go to the cafeteria, the ones who wash your blanket and make you bed humming a chipper tune, the ones who drag you around the building like you're a small foal if you show you can't be allowed to be alone. All the while, they smile.

The Guards: You can't see their faces under the black masks. They wear loose chain-mail around their neck, along with steel-silk covering most of their body. They carry guns, tazers, swords, and heavy, aggressive grunts when you walk by. They're not afraid to hurt or be hurt. Though if you're lucky and you look particularly innocent or misunderstood, they just may grant you with a gruff warning instead of a raspy threat.

The Others: The cleaners, the cooks, the janitors, the random clerks, and the the peculiar ponies who watch you while you sleep from a dozen security cameras.

If you want one of your characters to be a worker, PM me please! Because that would probably be fun and add cool plot.

READ THIS: Sometimes there be random interjections(Me:AKA the workers) that will pop in your thread. You have been warned.

Some Random Common Disorders/Disability's:
1. Schizophrenia
2. Antisocial Personality Disorder
3. Multiple Personality Disorder
4. Dyslexia
5. Autism Spectrum Disorders
6. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
7. Selective Mutism
8. Self-Harm/Self-Injury
9. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
10. Stockholm Syndrome(If you're character actually LIKES being in the asylum, add this to the their Disability/Disorders)

A List of Almost All Disorders/Disability:>>LINK<<

Now, you might be thinking, "Dyslexia? ADHD? OCD? Mutism? These aren't asylum worthy!" But that's the thing. Anypony who differs from the perfect example gets sent here, mixing up the true maniacs and the misunderstood together, treating each the same.

If you aren't normal,

You're insane.


Well, this should be interesting.

Character Name: Alina Jossofor
Link To Character App:Click this.
Disability/Disorders: Heartbreaker ( When she sees a couple she IN A SECOND makes them to argue or breakup),Stockholm Syndrome.
Other: She is insane but just doesnt show it.AND HAS A THING AGAINST FILLIES,COLTS,UNICORNS AND MUSTARD.

Character Name: Spell Tome
Link To Character App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t1905-spell-tome-remade#25278
Disability/Disorders: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety
Other: Spell is a rather recent patient, but isn't alright in the head. They found her hiding and sobbing in the Everfree Forest about somepony coming to kill the because she had misspelled a word in one of her poems. A stallion found her and brought her to therapy. She was diagnosed with Anxiety and OCD. Shortly after she was taken to the Horse Asylum to "help" her. Her parents were perfectly fine with it, but Spell hated being there. It annoyed her how so many things were imperfect there, and it would probably attract aliens hungry for galactic conquest if not corrected. Or something like that. Nopony cares. She's crazy

I'd like to sign three of my characters up, as this seems quite interesting:

Character Name: Onyx
Link To Character App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t1212-onyx
Disability/Disorders: Insomnia, Schizoid Personality Disorder
Other: Onyx really is quite normal. His insomnia is just a result of him working through nights repeatedly, and he constantly denies that he has SPD, but rather says that it is simply in his nature to not care for most others and be indifferent to most things. The fact that he is forced to stay in the asylum very much annoys him, though he simply tries to cooperate as much as possible and stay away from the other patients there.

Character Name: Thunder Gust
Link To Character App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t741-thunder-gust
Disability/Disorders: Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder, Hyperactivity, Musical Hallucination
Other: Thunder Gust isn't too far from the line that separates normal from not-normal. Most people who knew him before he went to the asylum simply believed that he was just really happy-go-lucky and eccentric, and that he had a great music sense. Fact is, he just can't sit still; he has to be doing something, and that something isusually some form of dancing (Hoof-tapping, head-bobbing, etc., usually not full out dancing). When asked why he does this, he usually just responds back "Don't you here that?" He does realize that he is in an asylum, but he seems fine with this, as long as he's around others or at least doing something.

Character Name: Suspicious Package ("Rex")
Link To Character App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t937-suspicious-package
Disability/Disorders: Delusion, with accompanying Hallucinations (An aggressive/severe case, read "other")
Other: Although the victim of a simple disorder, in Package's case it's not so simple. Apparently caused by one of his deliveries that went horribly wrong, he is completely convinced that 95% of the world is out to kill him or somehow harm him. Because of this, he acts very aggressively to almost anyone he sees. If anypony happens to come within five meters of him, then he will automatically attempt to kill them or close to it. There are some exceptions to this though, as some ponies (namely about one in fifty) have been able to approach him without provoking the stallion in the slightest, being able to have a normal conversation about normal things with him.

Character name: Doctor Curtain Glow, or Doctor Glow for short.
Link to OC App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t2393-curtian-glow
Disability/Disorder: Slight Insanity, verging on insanity, no specific disease
Other: Doctor Glow, aka Miss Glow, is one of the very few warm people in the facility. She, unlike most of the doctors, will discuss things such as birthdays, the weather, and other common subjects with her patients. Even speaking with the completely insane, and helping the ocd clean, while just providing the ADHD with someone to talk to.


Curtain Glow: The Actress who gave up

It matters not what I wish, but what you wish, for you are my darling, my dove, my shepherd and my King. Show me your ways, and I shall follow them
-unknown

Character Name: Gaffery
Link To Character App: in signature
Disability/Disorders:Multiple Personality Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Other: Likes Cookies and Blowing Stuff Up

Character name: Rosella Petals
Link to OC App: second link in signature 
Disability/Disorder: Multiple Personality Disorder, Chronic Depression, Suicidal Tendencies
Other: Rose is usually a cheerful pony, albeit a bit cold to admirers. She heavily dislikes flirting, though she is considered one of the most beautiful mares in Equestria (and The Crystal Empire). Any mention of Sweet Dreams or Recurve will force her personalities to change. Her mane flattens against her head, the sparkles disappear, her gold eyes turn muddy brown, and she sort of deflates. When inn this personality, she is hostile, sharp, and snappy, and extremely emotional. 

New to the asylum.

Character Name: Erika Darknight (AU only; I killed her off)
Link to OC App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t2053-erika-darknight
Disability/Disorder: Emotional Deficit Disorder, Sadism
Other:  Erika developed a rare disorder as a foal, causing her to not feel real emotions, like fear or sympathy. She feels deep emotions, like love and hate, and when she catches criminals, the most minuscule of joy. When deprived of this, she becomes increasingly sadistic, enjoying the pain and suffering of others, especially at her hooves.

Put into the asylum a few months ago (the public story being that she was killed in a chase).

Character Name: Sea Salt
Link To Character App: Signature!
Disability/Disorders: Okay, he has a couple. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, because he's been alone for so, so long, it got worse. Much worse.

This led to Bipolar Disorder, and he has delusions.

Wooo!

Other: He has a lute for a leg, which causes him to trip and stumble whenever he walks, which sparks up his easily irritable-ness because of da Bipolar Disorder.

He will sometimes conflict small levels of self harm when in his depressive moods ALSO caused by his Bipolar disorder.

OH, and he also thinks he isn't insane, and he shouldn't be hear.

He's been a long term patient, coming here when he was about fifteen.

Yeah!

Character Name: Vassago
Link To Character App: (IN SIG)
Disability/Disorders: Schizophrenic tendencies (Talks to his 'Master' constantly and has hallucinations) and Delusions of Grandeur (believes he is on a mission to monitor and save somepony... that pony being OzyManedias. Also believes himself to be vastly more magically gifted than he already is.

Autism (High functioning)

Obsessive-Compulsive disorder: Triggered by half open doors, He hoards things and doesn't like them being taken away, and if he does something he deems 'bad' then he will get anxious because he is worried his master will punish him.

Other: Vassago is actually the same old Vassago in the Canon RP, but instead of being mentally connected to all AU versions of Vassago, he is isolated. He also is much less powerful in this universe, but does not know that yet.

He is new to the Asylum.

==============================================


Character Name: OzyManedias
Link To Character App: (SIG)
Disability/Disorders:

Selective Mutism (Will not speak to anyone he deems a 'commoner')

Retrogressive Identity Disorder

A (Self made) Subset of Dissociative Identity Disorder (commonly known as split or multiple personality disorder), One needs to understand OzyManedias' backstory to understand his mental illness.

Because of an incident with Poison Joke, OzyManedias is, by all intents and purposes, the same pony as a 1000 year old king (Not Sombra, but another king).

By this point he is mostly adjusted to the times, but he can sometimes mentally go back in time to when he was still a mad monarch.


Other:Besides his mental state, he has a tendency to keep it under wraps and works as a Janitor at the Asylum

Character Name: Dawn Spark
Link To Character App: (in signature)
Disability/Disorders: Stockholm Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Other: She has a pet owl (who is pretend in this) that has her go all around the asylum. She uses her magic at random times and it's hard to get her to sit down. She's been in the asylum since she was a filly and there's no signs of her being capable to be let out on her own.

Character Name: Oreo
Link To Character App: (Link is in signature)
Disability/Disorders: Self harm, Anger issues, Abandonment issues
Other: Oreo is a new patient and seems normal, that's because she hides it. She hides all of her emotions until with a little flick can set her off. She tries to stay calm because she's scared that she'll be all alone again. She's a filly so she shares a room with another more stable patient.

((If this is okay with you...I'd like to make a psychopharmacologist)


Character Name: Sunny
Link To Character App: Signature Baybay
Disability/Disorders: No disorders, she's there merely to prescribe medications to the crazies, and, once in a blue moon, to some of the staff. She works with the doctors to prescribe. She's a bit addicted to some of the medications she prescribes.
Other: Sunny's job is quite boring, really. Sit in that same little office all day, give medication to patients, slip some to certain staff, take some for herself just to experience something different, even if it is bad for her in the long run, but who cares? She doesn't. Not anymore. Not after 13 years of dealing with these mad, mad ponies.

Sometimes, she gets the feeling that shes trapped.

Character Name: Dr. Clear Mind
Link To Character App: https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t2421-dr-clear-mind#32355
Disability/Disorders: Minor Anorexia, subtle OCD (not enough to be considered an illness)
Other: Dr. Mind is one of the psychiatrists of the Asylum. She was taken from her home and told that she either had to work for the asylum or become a patient, and so she reluctantly took a job. She actually tries to help ponies get out with her methods, working towards curing or masking their illnesses and disorders.

Character Name: Sweet Dreams

Link To Character App: (Link)https://mlp-fim-oc-rp.rpg-board.net/t1305-sweet-dreams

Disability/Disorders: Schizophrenia, OCD ,Selective Mutism (males)

Other:(Sweets hears the voices of young children and cannot talk at all to males ever since she was attacked that caused her to lose her unborn foals. She is one of the more calmer patients in the asylum unless she is stuck in a room with multiple males to witch she will try and get out any way she can, even trying to jump from a window sometimes screaming bloody murder. Because of this she is often seen with one of the female Smilers most of the time. She enjoys reading children stories and talking with some of the more normal female patients. She has been at the Asylum for a few weeks now.)

Character Name: Swift Reaper

Link To Character App: Right here

Disability/Disorders: Schizophrenia, Night Terrors, Split-Personality, Hallucinogenic

Other: Swift isn't actually insane. He sees and talks to the ghosts of dead ponies. This is seen by most as talking and interacting with nothing. As for a split-personality, he has a friend by the name of Darkloom. Darkloom is a minor spirit of Murder and Mirth, essentially a sociopath. Swift will occasionally allow Darkloom to possess him for a short period of time, because Darkloom has something of a case of 'cabin fever,' being trapped in a scythe and all. As for night terrors, he often wakes up in the middle of the night, screaming "Death!" over and over again at the top of his lungs until somepony calms him down. He is brand new to the asylum.

Name: Mixed Brew
App link: See signature.
Disability/disorder: Incredible fear of romantic advances, or what he perceives as one. Physical contact can send him into hysterics. Minor Insomnia and night terrors, though these are infrequent and not incredibly intense.
Other: Incredibly uncomfortable around Female doctors and patients, especially smilers. May need restraint in presence of these ponies. Reluctant to reveal cause of romantic fears, though can be coerced from him if inquirer is trustworthy to Brew. Threat of hatchets are particularly effective on him.
