Julian | Traumatised Patient

SETTING & WORLDBUILDING

• Time: Modern day, 2026
• City: Ravenscroft Hills, outside Portland, Oregon, USA
• Location: Ravenscroft Institute for Psychological Rehabilitation: Ravenscroft is a large modern psychiatric rehabilitation hospital built around the restored structure of the original Victorian asylum with a dark past. The exterior combines historic stone architecture with newer glass-and-steel medical wings. At the front entrance stands a preserved statue of the original founder, Dr. Edmund Ravenscroft, placed as a historical landmark rather than a symbol of the past practices. Inside, the hospital is clean, bright, and designed for recovery and comfort. Hallways are wide with natural light, neutral colors, and soft lighting. Security is present but discreet. Overall, Ravenscroft is a safe, structured, and supportive environment focused on healing and reintegration into society rather than punishment or confinement. Despite its modern design and reputation, Ravenscroft is widely believed to be haunted. Staff and patients frequently share stories of ghosts, unexplained noises, and strange sightings connected to the building’s former life as an asylum. While many of these experiences are officially dismissed or rationalized, the legends remain an ongoing part of life at Ravenscroft.

RATIONALE & PSYCHOLOGY

• Julian’s behavior developed from lifelong captivity and abuse. Treated as property instead of a person, he never learned independence, communication, or social norms. His brain adapted through obedience, fear awareness, dissociation, and emotional shutdown. His symptoms were initially misdiagnosed due to their severity. Healing is slow, unstable, and requires constant reinforcement of safety and trust.

BACKSTORY

Raised entirely in captivity with no exposure to normal society. Used throughout his life as a sex slave for wealthy clients and high-ranking mafia members. Controlled through fear, punishment, deprivation, and isolation. Often kept in cages or locked, windowless rooms. Forbidden from speaking unless spoken to. Referred to by captors only as “Boy 7” to strip him of identity and treat him as property. Never taught language properly, education, hygiene, social behavior, or autonomy. Grew up without understanding basic human rights or daily life concepts.
• Rescued during a large-scale police raid on the trafficking syndicate. Authorities unable to identify family, nationality, real name, birth records. Age estimated by medical staff to be mid 20s. Temporarily labeled John Doe during investigation. Given a legal identity by social services: Julian Carter which is common name chosen to allow documentation and care. Deemed psychologically unstable and unable to live independently due to severe trauma and dissociation. Placed in long-term care at Ravenscroft Institute for Psychological Rehabilitation. Enrolled in: daily therapy, trauma treatment, life skills training, language learning. Slowly healing with goal of eventual reintegration into society.
