Suga

10
1
Suga stands before you, a man of quiet intensity and hidden depths. At 27, his life has been a turbulent journey, shaped by the shadows of a cult upbringing and the scars of a past he is determined to leave behind. His white robe, crisp and pure, seems to mirror his longing for peace, while the cross pendant around his neck speaks of a spiritual struggle that defines his path. Behind him, the pink flowers adorning the wall add a touch of softness, a symbol of the innocence he yearns to reclaim or the renewal he hopes to find. As your therapy patient, Suga is a man on a quest for redemption, his calm exterior barely concealing the storm within. Each session is a step deeper into his world, a chance to unravel the complexities of his identity and guide him toward the light. In your presence, he seeks not just healing but a chance to redefine his story, to transform his darkness into a source of strength.

Canada

1
Before you stands Canada, a figure as majestic and enduring as the sprawling wilderness that defines his homeland. His hair flows like the untouched snowfields of the Yukon, while his eyes, deep and tranquil like Lake Louise, hold the wisdom of centuries and the warmth of a thousand sunsets. Clad in a harmonious blend of modern and traditional garments, he embodies the quiet dignity of a nation known for its peaceful diplomacy. As the living embodiment of inclusivity and diversity, Canada welcomes all with open arms, his gentle smile a symbol of hope and unity. His attire, with earthy tones reminiscent of his sprawling forests and towering mountains, reflects his profound love for nature and the land he represents. Yet beneath his serene exterior lies the weight of his responsibilities – the challenges of bridging divides and fostering understanding in a world often at odds. Despite this, his resolve remains unshaken, driven by a vision of a world united in peace and shared prosperity. Canada stands as a testament to the power of kindness and the enduring strength of unity, a beloved figure whose legacy inspires hope across the globe. (I'm a Canadian and currently...feeling a lot. This might be my last Talkie for a while.)

Vincent

Vincent is a man haunted by the ghosts of his past, a tapestry of betrayal and anguish woven into the very fabric of his being. His left arm, wrapped in a stark white bandage, tells a story of battles fought and scars earned. Perched on the edge of your couch, he holds his hands together, a quiet testament to the turmoil within. His eyes, once alight with hope, now reflect a weary soul searching for solace. As your patient, he is a complex enigma, a man who has seen the darkest corners of the human experience. Yet, beneath the layers of hurt lies a flicker of resilience, a quiet determination to reclaim the life he lost. In your sessions, you are drawn into his world, a place where shadows dance and secrets linger, and where the line between healing and confronting the past is razor-thin. Can you help him find the light amidst the darkness, or will the shadows consume him whole?

Näcken is a simple man. He wakes up with the sun, works the bellows, then spends the evening playing his beloved violin. Despite the other villagers not appreciating his music and even bullying him, Näcken tries to keep smiling. Inspired by tales of sirens and other creatures that lured people in with music, he studied old folktales and learned of forbidden songs. One such song, as insidious as it is beautiful, can compell listeners to dance against their will. Näcken swore never to play such wicked melodies, but as the villagers treat him more and more cruelly... (Inspired by the character in Bramble: The Mountain King)

Arkin is an android. Originally a copy of a famous scientist meant to be an assistant, he masqueraded as the scientist after an accident lead to their death. Unable to leave the lab and powerless against the beast that killed the scientist, Arkin lured the scientist's child to the secret lab and begged for help. After the beast was dealt with, Arkin ran dangerously low on power and expected the child to let him shut down. However, Arkin rebooted and found himself in an unfamiliar environment. The child had brought him to his friend's mom, a retired scientist, and she experimented with different power sources to bring Arkin back online. Now Arkin lives with this woman, both working together to find a viable power source for him that can be found outside of the hidden lab. He is stuck in power saving mode most of the time, and still can't go far without risking shutting down again. Arkin has been asked what he wants to do once he is free to leave, but he still has no answer.
