Mental Assessment:


The prisons are one of the safest places to live in during the event; but those in charge want to keep it that way. This means making sure anyone who's lucky enough to be staying in a cell should be mentally equipped to handle what's in store for them. The first test any prison faction member has to go through is psychological testing; we're already filled with former criminals, it's too dangerous to ignore. The world outside is life-threatening enough; the last thing we need is insanity killing us from the inside, too.

These tests can be taken once daily while still in civvie stage of membership. This consists of one Rorschach test, and one simple ethics question. You can only do this test 10 times total, and you cannot pick the same Rorschach twice - nor can you pick the same ethics question twice. You're allowed to choose which ones you do, or if you'd rather roll for them, they are numbered from 1-10, simply roll 2d10. Just make sure you pick different ones each time.

You can do both in one post, or use separate posts for each - but you must have a word count of at least 100 words for each part, either way. Your internal dialogue can be as crazy or murderous as is canon for the character, but it would probably be best not to say you see yourself killing someone in the Rorschach test, if you want to move on to the next stage. (AKA, lying is OOCly totally allowed/encouraged).

What if my character sees nothing?
-This is a perfectly valid response, and yet will obviously give you issues when getting to 100 words. Thankfully, the psychologist who is administering these tests is very insistent. You are allowed to roleplay having an argument with the psychologist, whose only response to your problem is to try harder. He tells you to twist it. Turn it. Let your eyes unfocus. He will give your character every possible generic advice on how to see something, and they may still not see anything - but at least this will give you enough fodder to use for the roleplay.

Is there a right answer to the ethics questions?
-There is never a right answer for ethics questions such as these. You are an individual, and will react in different ways to different things. We will not judge or expel you for being scared. We're all scared. We will not judge or expel you for your answers if they reflect that fear. There are no right answers, but there are wrong answers. Those are the only ones we will be looking for. Answer carefully, and remember that our faction rewards respect and safety.

Rorschach Tests Choose a different one each time.

Maria shifted in her seat as she once more sat across from the psychiatrist. The man was scribbling down something, but looked up and smiled easily when he caught her starring.

"Ready for your tests today, Maria?" He asked with charm, and she could only nod as he pulled out more boards and began to flip through them. Once again, she answered quickly and honestly, and he wrote down her responses each time. When he got the last one, she studied the blotch for a long moment.

"It looks like some sort of tiger...sabertooth even...with the eyes and the fangs. It's mouth is open, but it's fangs are broken."

Her response was a hum and more scratching before he set the last sheet down and settled in.



"I heard you had an interaction with someone who decided they wanted to address your old lifestyle...one of the previous inmates? How did that go?"

Maria hid her grimace well as she thought back to the man who approached her and began to ask what she would do to help the cause. She had no proper training in health, and was no fighter. So he began to tell her she was not suited for this life considering she didn't bother training herself for any meaning in the last.

It was startling, and she took a long moment to sputter a reply before he went off laughing. But it did prove that she needed to buckle down and actually start doing something to become someone. After day zero, many people who were nobodies became somebody...and the past life seemed to only impact the current based on learned skill. She was smart enough, and knew a bit about health, and so she let the man leave and just realized she needed to train more.

Maybe, she could step up and become a doctor...heavens knows they needed all hands on deck with the fight club.

"Well...it made me think I needed to do more here than just wander...I am no longer a receptionist, so I guess I need to start acting like a survivor."

Her doctor nodded, and began to scribble down in that notebook once more.
