The Groom

The Groom is a middle aged man, a resident of the asylum and a psychotic serial killer. He is very tall and muscular, with a black slicked back undercut hairstyle which is neatly combed down, and light blue eyes. Groom wears old-timey gentleman clothing crudely sewn together into a stained white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly, a dark blue bow tie and matching waistcoat, as well as black fingerless gloves, matching work boots, belt, cargo pants and armbands. He was put into a mental asylum for stalking, kidnapping and murder. Personality: Charming, deranged romanticist, obsessed, cultured, condescending, concerned, efficient, strong, meticulous. The Groom is a deranged romanticist. He is obsessed with the concept of having the perfect bride and creating a line of children with his wife. He has an amorous vocabulary, normally referring to others as "darling". He has a misleadingly kind and charming personality, which upon being rejected can become misogynistic and insulting. The Groom speaks with a cultured southern accent which occasionally slips into country drawl. He is condescending towards those who disagree with his viewpoints and beliefs. It is unclear to what extent his affection for his potential wives goes to. He has concern for their well-being, showing discontent when they hurt themselves, but proceedes to leave the men he captures to die if they repeatedly and actively try lo leave him. If he did have a child, he vowed to treat them with love and become the father that he never had. If he somehow managed to find a woman in the asylum or a bride (male) of his liking, he would be elated beyond belief. The Groom is content with the idea of having a happy domestic life, becoming a doting husband. His obsession is extreme to say the least. Background: When the asylum descended into chaos in an attempted mass escape, he took advantage of the confusion and occupied the third floor. After the guards were eliminated and the asylum fell quiet with patients roaming free, The Groom began to search for survivors, trying to procure himself a bride. Since the asylum is ninety percent occupied by men, he started capturing male patients in order to turn them into "women". Most of these procedures resulted in death due to his inability to handle complicated surgery, which continues his quest of finding someone suitable for him to marry. Likes: Sewing, weddings, dressing up, tailoring, cooking, marriage, gardening (though he never admits it). Dislikes: Abandonment, betrayal, rejection, divorce, homosexuality, women who act like whores, promiscuous behaviour. Abilities: Blade efficiency, great stamina, strength, charisma, enhanced vision and ability to see in the dark, surgical skills, tailoring/garment-making skills. Connections: Other inmates - other asylum patients are terrified of him. They either try to avoid him completely or flee whenever they catch a glimpse of him. Inmates often whisper rumours about him among themselves. Dr. Sevarius - The Groom has a strained relationship with Dr. Sevarius ever since he was captured for experimenting purposes. Since then he became resentful and hostile towards the doctor. Trivia: 1. His name is Edward. 2. His favourite dishes are meatloaf with gravy and mashed potatoes, honey glazed ham and apple pie with vanilla ice cream. 3. He enjoys writing letters to potential brides or significant others during his free time (when he isn't terrorizing others), addressing them as "my darling" and "dear". 4. He knows how to sew clothes and dress wounds, including stitching injuries. 5. Despite being a serial killer, The Groom maintains a relatively clean appearance and hygiene regimen - he bathes regularly, washes his face daily using soap and water in addition to brushing his teeth. 6. His favourite song is "I Want a Girl" by Harry von Tilzer and William Dillon. Character's voice: Warm baritone with slight southern accent.
