Chapter Text
Chris Walker:
-Has a nose prosthetic attached with magnets that has to regularly get cleaned to avoid infections.
-thin, blonde hair, cut very short. He struggled with trichotillomania shortly after arriving at the facility, he did this instead picking at his skin or mutilating his face even more. He still sometimes picks on it though, or even rips out hairs. This results in a few bald spots in his eyebrows, eyelashes and hair.
-speaks in very short sentences. Sometimes he only speaks one word at a time. (He's autistic and partially goes non-verbal just like me fr)
-when he was a variant at MMA, he was so deep in his delusions he thought he was back in the military and protecting civilians from the walrider as a demi god and apparently had a third eye. He would slip between lucidity and his deluded state. He barely remembers any of it now, probably for the better. When he gets triggered, however, he can become just as violent and dangerous as he was back then. But these outbursts have been greatly reduced.
-it took a lot of time to get him to trust the medical staff at the new facility. He would have to get used to one nurse/doctor at a time or else he would get overwhelmed with the situation and have an outburst or shut himself off completely.
-recovery isn't easy, but he is happy to be at the point he is now. Due to his mutilated face and body type he has some severe self esteem issues. He isolates himself from other patients because of this.
-his pig stuffed animal is one of his biggest comforts and he gets very distressed when he can't find it. And he's still a bit embarrassed about it even though the nurses know and accept and respect it and never made fun of him for it.
-very tidy and organized, this probably comes from his military background.
-still suffers from panic attacks and PTSD and anxiety as well as paranoid schizophrenia and psychosis from both being stationed in Afghanistan as well as the MMA.
-he absolutely hates being sedated or fixated. Actually "hate" is an understatement. He will get violent to defend himself.
-as for hobbies, he likes puzzling, reading and going on walks as well as weightlifting. He prefers to be alone.
-very grateful for Miles' and Waylon's work and respects both men greatly for exposing Murkoff cooperation.
-Especially grateful towards Miles, likes him the most. Because he killed Billy and ended the Walrider that way. (In this AU miles did not get possessed by the walrider and instead it died along with Billy. And in this AU, he stopped actively pursuing Miles after figuring out his intentions and even started protecting him without him knowing. Was still willing to kill him if he became the host though.)
-Miles would still come to visit him, even though he needed some time to get psychological help himself first. They both share a bond now. (🏳️🌈⁉️) He still calls him "little pig" as a term of endearment. Miles doesn't mind it
- realistically will never get properly released into society again because of the danger of him getting triggered by something and reverting to his variant self if even for a short moment. The same applies for most of the other variants, especially Trager, Eddie, the twins, father Martin and Frank. His mental illnesses are not an excuse for anything he has done or any of the murders he has committed. He knows this.
Father Martin:
-He has Dementia and is very delirious. The technique of validating after Naomi Feil actually works with him though so they got it under control. He acts as you'd expect of a vascular dementia patient
-Fingerpainting is his favourite past time activity and what helps him calm down should he enter his "priest/messenger of the walrider" delusion again.
- a lot of unresolved religious trauma, probably. But they're working on it with him to the best of their abilities considering his Alzheimer's.
-has a suprapubic catheter due to developing urinary incontinence from old age, dementia and having an enlarged prostate. A urethral catheter wasn't a possibility due to it getting inflamed a lot or him ripping it out while it's blocked causing injuries.
- he has developed into becoming a very nice elderly man that is just the "average" kind of demented. Sometimes he still thinks he's in mount massive though and it can be really difficult to get him back into the current reality.
- however he never becomes aggressive towards anyone else, but he indulges in dangerous behaviour towards himself such as self harm and attempted self immolation.
-his room is quite empty. He generally misplaces all of his belongings in the entire facility so sometimes things show up in the most random of places.
- loves to nap. Has a big, comfy chair in his room for napping. He deserves it :)
Still wears the same slippers from MMA
-Tends to walk wherever he wants even when he shouldn't. Paints the walls with his fingerpaints sometimes (even though he shouldn't 💀)
