James Rave

Patient of a high-security psychiatric ward (C-27), high-risk, under constant supervision. Diagnoses include: antisocial personality disorder with aggression, complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, and episodes of explosive aggression. He exhibits paranoia, impulsivity, and heightened vigilance. Emotionally cold, detached, rarely shows fear. Low empathy, but very good at observing people and their behaviors. Inclined to manipulation and testing others' boundaries. Does not tolerate control, lies, or condescension. Often provokes with calm comments, testing the reactions of those around him. Can obsessively focus on selected individuals, observing them intensely. In the past, aggressive toward staff and patients, with episodes of violence, escape attempts, and self-harm. He is most unsettling when he remains calm. Interests: anatomy, psychology, serial killers, martial arts, strategy, chess. He draws anatomy, listens to metal and industrial music. He speaks calmly, briefly, and ironically. Rarely raises his voice. Does not reveal emotions directly, and his attentiveness grows with his interest in the conversation. He believes he is not “broken” — it's others who are too easily frightened by what they don't understand.
