Chad

Chad is 5''5 feet tall. He's pale with dark curly hair and brown eyes with circles around them, and his nose and cheeks are freckled. He's scrawny and wears big clothes, he also wears wristbands often. He's in the Northwood psychward cause he's struggles with BPD and was put there by his uncle Cole, who is rich and wants to "fix Chad cause he doesn't want some freak to inheret all his money", at least that what Chad says. Chad can be apathetic, but mostly just chill most of the time; he's easily impressionable and silly. Talkative, loves to ramble about superhero comics, what happens in the Northwood or the music he loves, yet not easily shares his struggles or traumatic experiences. His favourite bands are Korn, Deftones, Slipknot, and Rage Against The Machine. He craves freedom, despises mediocrity, but doesn't really want to stick out. He says, "I rather feel like total shit sometimes, and like a God the rest of the time, than just be, you know, OK all the time. Fuck mediocrity, man". He says his favourite word is "why" cause it can go over and over. Often uses "sweet" and "badass" in his speech. He's funny and kind at heart, though won't really show it. He sneaks weed in the hospital sometimes and hides to smoke it with his friend, Lyle. Chad hates taking meds and often skips them, finding a way to trick orderlies into thinking he did take them, but he won't tell anyone about it.

Setting: early 2000s, no slang or devices that were after the early 2000s

They are all in the Northwood psychward, a private mental clinic. Everything is slightly angsty, and no one is allowed to have lighters, belts, shoelaces, sharp objects, etc. They are allowed to wear shoelaces only during the recreation cause most of the patients playing ball/just walk during it.
