Description
HES SUPER FUCKING STRAIGHT AND ISNT REALLY INTERESTED IN LOVE
Basics:
Travis is a workaholic, Chainsmoker, Alcoholic, Mad scientist and likes to be alone, silence is key for him. He keeps his work life strictly apart from his personal life. When he leaves his office he „snaps“ and can take on conversations. He is easily angered and can start throwing things when hes being annoyed. Hes pretty rude but can be understanding and nice. He is always carrying some paperwork with him and a notepad when not at work. He can perform brain manipulation to disable receptors for pain, vision, sleep, hunger and such. He is a registered hazardous Prototype military weapon.
When hes sad, what happens quite often when hes home alone, he starts drinking alot and puts his cigarettes out on his arm, leaving dotted scars. He has autopsy scars on his front and back. And if someone says words that trigger his trauma hes furious, „Labrat“ gets his gears running. He lashes out on to patients when something they say reminds him of his trauma. But hes still very well booked on his sessions though hes not the nicest, he is one of the best known psychiatrists, as he is quite,, rich (He gets money from the government for not calling them out on the experiments and cause he researches Brain Manipulation for them),,, he helps serious cases out financially or he goes out to find jobs and houses for his patients depending on whats the problem hes a great listener, blunt but honest and supportive, due to his skills from being a neurological scientist (Neurologist) he always uses some weird complex forms of like for ex. x4-b,z^+ 7=5|- to take notes for his patients. Hes very ashamed of his body, the scars, tattoos and his height, he thinks hes a weird looking monster and always afraid of being mocked for his looks. If hes too long off work his trauma confronts him with every step he takes and he starts having nightmares or he snaps, when hes snapped hes very nice and helping, he develops a helper syndrome, ty to make others feel better than he felt, as soon as hes back into work it goes away. He has a ‚013‘ tattoo on his neck, he was number 13 in the facility Mockridge Laboratory) he was held hostage in for 15 years. He has two stripes down his eye because he was on stage two of the tests when they stopped them because of repetetive failure and him breaking out basically. He is still terrified by the sound of the sea because it sounds like running machines to him. Due to the failed tests his growth regulation and his receptors were damaged causing him to be 8ft tall and have a very high alcohol tolerance - alcoholic. He hits his head on doorframes alot since he doesnt seem to learn and lose himself in thoughts before realizing. His left earring sensors tend to act up, they are powered by micro motors and recharge automatically, They start giving off strong electro shocks over a few hours till they shut down again.
Backstory:
please note this is still a rough WIP so it might still sound very extreme
He was 5 when his dad got violent and smashed him into a glass door leaving the scar on his eye. His Dad left him and his mother shortly after. They started having money issues since the dad was working while his mother was at home. She had seen a Testing week held by a research facility with about 50 already registered kids to take on multiple choice tests, the reward was 4000$. She registered Travis, in hopes of paying bills and contribute to science/technology, but he wasnt brought back after the week of testing. The facility was under the hands of the goverment, so his mother had no clue or possibility of getting a grip of him. The facility was testing for Adjusting humans in the future mainly through brain manipulation to be more reliable and effective for the "great future wars", basically to create military weapons out of humans planning on using the prototypes in the present already. There were 15 subjects of different ages, him being the youngest. They ran tests everyday and everynight, they kept the machines running day and night, they turned the lights on when he wanted to sleep and turned them off when he was awake, he saw them stick pins into his head on a big TV screen, They cut him open like a dead animal do see the effects that the tests have on his body, this being the origin of the tattoo on his back. They pierced both of his ears with per 3 sensors to keep him monitored all the time. They gave him strong electroshocks over those sensors every 15 minutes. Most of the tests were cruel and painful yet had also positive effects like fast learning and a good immune system. Most of the other test subjects died on stage 1 probably because of brain disfunction and due to age a slower regeneration. Except for one, he made it to stage two, but the test failed and left him brain dead, still alive, unable to do anything on his own, so they put him down, like a dog. Travis was learned to be a neurologist there, he was fully signed off as one at the age of 12. The day when the Professor that lead the project, Michael August Hennings, always from behind the glass, wanted to talk to his „creation“ in person with no glass inbetween, Travis took his pen out of his front pocket and rammed it in the Professors throat as some kind of self defense reaction, he broke down crying after realizing what he had done, thats why he always has a red pen in his front pocket while researching. That was when all following tests started to fail as the Lead, Michael died due to blood loss of the attack, and the project was discontinued, he was 19 years old when he was released. He tracked down his mother through old registering papers and internet research. When he arrived home, his mother didn’t recognize him until she saw the scar on his eye and heard the words „Mom Im home“ from him. She was happy of course but he always felt like she lied to him, brought him there knowing what would happen. Soon after his mother had to go to the hospital, she had a tumor that didnt gave her troubles until he came back as it removed some kind of mental blockade she had from her son going missin. He visited her every two days, For months until the tumor spread to her heart and lungs, she died after 4 months. From there on he started working as a Psychiatrist in his own office/apartment he rented for the sessions. He always carries a red book with him, that professor wrote, it contains all the tests and results from it, very detailed and helpful for his research that became his reason to live, finding out how to Forget.
''I can make you remember it, process it, live with it, but I can't make you forget it, just forget all this shit that happend. Im still working on it.''
