The Manic

Certain to liven up any ward this warm character will shout scream bang and play, and that's just in his sleep. He reminds you of someone who could be very successful if he only knew what day it was for longer than 10 seconds.

The Worrier

Am I too short? Am I too quiet? Has the food been cooked properly? Did I lock my door? I'd better line up for dinner it's only 2 hours away I may miss it.

The Doctor

Spontaneous, Grandiose, Erratic, Irrational. Prone to outbursts of written mayhem. He will pin all of his own personality traits on you. It's part of some ineffable plan, but just remember it's for the best?

The Bully

It's not your tobacco; it's his. It's not your walkman; it's his. He's never wrong and it's everybody else's fault he broke the law and until he gets out which is probably before you, everybody else "who's fault it is" will pay for it.

Stress Head

Like the worrier, add prone to irrational mood swings and this is what you get. A temperamental as a cornered mouse with PMT. And as a bonus, perennial moods.

The Well Patient

AH Bless. Nothing wrong with this one. Ready for release. Pot belly, can't talk without foaming at the mouth. More pills than a sugar free brewery and walks like he's just stepped out of one.
