This character is for our actor Desire. This moodboard encompasses the idea that the reason this character begins to have violent outbursts is because he begins to question the value of life and 'why it all matters'. With a nihilistic approach, as well as drug use (though not a main identifying aspect of the character), this character has a distorted perception of life and morals; hallucinating and essentially stopping himself from identifying as a human. He sees himself more like a 'ghost'; a non-human being which wanders through life.
Suffering from paranoia and (at times) explicit auditory and sensory hallucinations, he has serious issues which were left untreated and eventually spiralled into who he is now. He does not have multiple personalities and is instead fully aware of everything he does, though he believes there is no wrong in his actions.
From his behaviour, he would most likely suffer from Depersonalisation Disorder:
"Individuals experiencing derealization may report perceiving the world around them as foggy, dreamlike/surreal, or visually distorted. In addition to these depersonalization-derealization disorder symptoms, the inner turmoil created by the disorder can result in depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, phobias, etc. It can also cause a variety of physical symptoms, including chest pain, blurry vision, visual snow, nausea, and the sensation of pins and needles in one's arms or legs... People who are diagnosed with depersonalization also experience an urge to question and think critically about the nature of reality and existence."
His critical thinking leads to paranoia, distorted vision and sometimes even self-harm. As the other group members have more or less also detached themselves from their human identities, the character is able to relate to them. They have similar outlooks on the world as he does, and so they are his allies.
