Addison Sawyer

Not-quite Schizophrenic

 

Medicated Schizo: Cast in the roll of a schizophrenic for so long, she tends to doubt her own senses when it comes to something that doesn't seem to mesh with the common people's definition of 'real.' This can be a blessing when what she's observing really isn't real, but on site it might get her into trouble when things that aren't under that umbrella decide to come at her.

On My Own: Whether you're a street crazy or not, the label of street crazy is enough to make your life the life of a street crazy. That life taught her not to trust others to do for her, but it taught her how to do for herself. She has street smarts.

With the Docs: With the amount of time she's spent around doctors and medical stuff, she's managed to pick up some stuff. Maybe not enough to rely on, but in a pinch, perhaps. . . But all that time with doctors makes her skeptical of them. She tends to avoid rather than accept their help.

Personal History:

Addison Sawyer grew up with her father, her mother frequently in mental care for schizophrenia. She came to the attention of the Foundation when she became involved with numerous SCP incidents. She was given amnesiacs each time, but something (perhaps something to do with the workings of her brain) kept them from being effective. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia due to her 'delusions' that were her broken memories of the skips she'd encountered and went in and out of institutions for it, taking anti-psychotic medicines to treat it. When she took down a minor SCP, thinking it to be another delusion, the Foundation took an interest. They decided she was not, in fact, schizophrenic, and then sent her off to 354 to be out of the way, under observation, and useful. She's so used to being a schizophrenic, though, that she still acts and expects to be treated like one.
