Medical Screening

Do you have any ongoing medical conditions for which you require long-term treatment or medications?

No

Are you aware of any allergies you may have to foods, medications or environmental elements? If so, please list them below along with age of onset.

No

Do you take any other medications or drugs not prescribed to you, or participate in the consumption of alcohol or tobacco?

Only socially I.E. When offered.

(This may not be entirely true, as there are several accounts of Devon self medicating with drugs/alcohol from friends and his sister.~AF)




__________________________________________________________________
Environmental Screening

Where were you born and where did you grow up? What was it like there?

I grew up on London, which has its good and bad patches, like everywhere I suppose. Had a house, with a garden, hot and cold running staff. I wasn't sent away for school, my Dad thought it built character to go to the local, but my Mum wasn't happy with that. Then again, Mum isn't happy with any of Dad's decisions, so that's not surprising. I was rather glad not to go to Eton or some other prig school.


Please describe your relationships with your biological family, including parents, and siblings if applicable.

Dad: Philandering bore and money maker.
Mum: Uptight secret lesbian WASP.
Sister: The only thing truly right in the world.

As long as the appearance of perfection is maintained for public viewing my parents don't really give a fig about us. Our grades must be up, our smiles bright, and our records spotless. Any dull in the shine is dealt with harshly.

(Parents maintain that father not philander, mother is not a lesbian, and they have never used corporal punishment. Investigation shows that children were mostly raised by staff, and the turn over rate in nannies was about once a year, which seems excessive, and could cause attachment disorder issues. Diary lists repeated instances of parental indifference and father's affairs. ~AF)


How were/are you in school? How are your grades? Do you enjoy school?

I enjoyed school much more than my home life. Top ten percent of my class, popular, on the right teams...oh, teams and such is the next question. Basically, school was the one place I could be myself, and as long as my grades were above average, my parents were happy.

Do you participate in any extracurricular activities or belong to any after-school clubs?

Fencing and lacrosse teams, Audio Visual Club (helped out with the plays), Student Government. All the fun stuff that looks good on applications.

If you no longer reside with your biological family, please describe any previous homes as well as your current situation.

I do, but under lockdown until they find a place to place me out of the way. Their dirty little secret.

Do you have many/any friends? If so, please describe them.

I don't see how this is relevant.

(Devon's home has received many calls from both staff and student members since he was pulled from school, and several have come by. They have been rebuffed at Devon's request (say his parents). Devon will not comment on the issue. ~AF)


Are you sexually active? Are you aware of any gender preference, or preferences in intimate practices, activities or situations?

Isn't that the point of all this? My sexual activity? I like females and being with them. I don't understand the big deal. Everyone says to be a real man you go out and fool around, and I did... and now look.

(Reports from independent sources indicate that Devon has had relations with both sexes, his age group and older, under the influence of drugs/alcohol. Sources include his sister, his diary, social media and interviews.~AF)

Have you ever knowingly committed a crime? Were you caught and convicted? If convicted, what was your sentencing?

No. Yes. But they said I was the victim. But I committed the crime just as much as she did.

(Devon's parents paid a PR firm to keep this instance of Devon's affair with a married older woman from the press. They did not want to press charges, even though Devon was only fourteen at the time the sexual abuse began. They say that moving Devon to a facility is for his own good, but the feeling is that they actively intend to shun him. This continues the pattern of parental indifference unless affected directly by Devon's actions such as the negative publicity. ~FA)

Clinical Screening

Have you ever been diagnosed with any psychiatric ailments by a medical or psychiatric professional? If yes, please explain below.

When the shit hit the fan the court made me see Dr. Albright. He said I am not 1000% responsible for my actions due to some sort of chemical imbalance in my head and want to give me drugs for them. I don't take them, they make me feel dopy and slow. And it doesn't make feel feel any better to use a lame excuse like that for what I've done, either.


Please describe any incidents associated with these ailments, such as antisocial behaviours, social or environmental difficulties, incidents of self harming, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, substance abuse, etc.

I had sex, I felt bad about it, I hurt myself. The end.

(Devon was sexualized at a early age according to his diary, often finding his father in sexual situations with the household help in random areas of the home and garden. He apparently lost his virginity at age 12 with a girl his age, and continued to expand on that behavior as he grew older. At age fourteen he started an affair with a married woman and this lead to a psychotic break resulting in Bipolar II disorder. As the affair progressed and his self medication with drugs and alcohol began to deal with the stress of his double life, other symptoms began to occur, notably hyper-sexuality, and he began to engage in riskier behaviors. When caught, and his abuser jailed, he began a pattern of self abuse to assuage the guilt he felt and punish himself as well for the crimes, not seeing himself as a victim, cutting or burning himself after sex acts, which he continued to seek out.~AF)

Have you ever seen a licensed psychiatric professional, psychologist, or counsellor for these ailments? If yes, please list doctor(s) or counsellor(s) below:

Dr. Frank Albright

Do you take any medications for any diagnosed psychiatric ailments? If yes, please list medication, dosage, and frequency of dosage below:

I'm supposed to be taking Lithium, twice a day, 20 mgs.

Have you ever been admitted to a short or long-term psychiatric facility as a result of these ailments or associated incidents?

I was under observation for two weeks at Dr. Albright's clinic.

How do you feel these ailments affect your quality of life or your situation in life?

People don't trust me any more. They don't look at me the same way. They ask questions they have no right to ask. I'm a freak. It didn't feel wrong at the time, I mean, who was it hurting? How was it wrong? Never mind.

If you could be cured of your ailments, what would your goals in life be?

Leave everyone and everyone behind that ever knew me now, and start fresh, a new person with a new life, somewhere else.

How do you feel these goals would be best attained?

I turn 18, pass my A levels, and move to New Zealand or Canada.

Why do you feel you are being referred to Highgrove, and by whom?

My parents can't have me fucking up their snow-globe life. So they are sending me away. It's OK, I was never really there in the first place.

Psychological Evaluation
The Spoken, Representative Interview

Hello, and thank you for meeting with me today. Our interview today will be recorded for review later. I'm going to ask you a series of questions, and I'd like for you to answer as fully as you are able. I'd like to start by asking you how you're feeling today.

I'm good, thanks. And you?

Okay. And how are you feeling about this opportunity to join our family at Highgrove?

Family? I don't do to well with families. Can we use a different word?

If you could alter one event in your life, what event do you think you would change or remove, and why?

(grins charmingly) Not get caught?

If you had to describe yourself in only three words, what words would you choose and why?

Very nice person. Oh, you mean a list? Um... Nice. Thoughtful. Confused. Maybe guilty, but that's four words... so, yeah.

How do you feel currently about your life so far, and anything you may have done?

I made mistakes, but that's what your supposed to do at this age, right? Rebel, make mistakes, learn and move on?

What would you do if you found a stranger being attacked by another stranger, and why?

Hit 999 and then go help. It's the right thing to do.

What would you do if you were being threatened by a stranger, and why?

That's a toughie, it depends on how I'm feeling that day. See, I know it's wrong to say this, because I'm trying to be right in the head... but sometimes, I really do want to get the shit beat out of me. So I do.

Have you ever deliberately harmed yourself, another, or animals in the past? If so, why do you think that was?

The only person I have any right to hurt is myself. And the only reason I do it is to let out the pain from inside. God, (chuckle) that sounds like some damn emo song you hate on the radio, doesn't it?

And lastly, what do you hope to find at Highgrove, and how do you think this will help you to learn and grow?

I don't know. By getting me out of the rut I was in, I guess, giving me options.

This concludes our interview for today. Thank you for filling out our application and speaking with me. We will contact you or your guardian shortly with our decision or recommendations.In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your day. Goodbye.

Oh, that was it? That was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Thanks for your time.

Out of Character Section

Is there anything your character is not telling us? Do they have any dirty or dark little secrets they're omitting from their application? Please explain below.

Like all sex addicts Devon has his ritual which is to allow himself to be talked into sex, and then harm himself afterwards. His bipolar makes him very easy to talk into things, so is easy to victimize him. His bursts of anger and guilt are all aimed inward, other than a few scathing things he can say about his parents. Other than that, he is a very nice and charming young man.
