Patient File: Celestia Ludenberg

Real Name: Taeko Yasuhiro.

Born in Utsonomiya, capital of the Tochigi Prefecture in the northern Kantō region of Japan, Taeko Yasuhiro appears to have been the child of a lower working class family. As her parents were unable to afford her much - from food beyond the common, plentifully available gyoza to unique clothing to even attention - Taeko grew up feeling like a plain, unremarkable girl. She appears to have been bullied and ostracized by her peers for this as well, although she seems to have not taken this mistreatment lying down and developed a...colorful urban vocabulary for retaliation. This didn't make her feel any better, though, and she would often wistfully fantasize about being a fairy tale princess living a happy and interesting life in a castle instead.

The tipping point in Taeko's life came when, while still quite young, she discovered her Ultimate Talent: being extremely lucky in games so that she almost always won them. That was when she realized that through gambling, she could ultimately earn enough money to buy a castle in Europe and make her fairy tale dream come true. But there was still one problem: doing this as herself would still make her suffer from self-loathing, especially when considering her Ultimate Talent was passive and required nothing from her but to simply exist while playing a game. That's when she fabricated a new persona: that of Celestia Ludenberg, aka "Celeste", a cool and composed half-French, half-German noblewoman seeking to win her castle through meticulous game strategies and psychological manipulation of her opponents. It was all a lie, of course, but Taeko justified this to herself with the knowledge that lying is part of being a gambler....and lying to herself made her feel much better than accepting a harsh reality.

As she matured into a teenager, Celeste became interested in Gothic aesthetics and incorporated it into her character. Her dream shifted from fairy tale princess to Gothic vampire princess, complete with handsome men dressed as vampiric butlers. She also obtained a cat who became her most cherished companion, that she named Grand Bois Cheri Ludenberg. She even secretly became a well-read manga otaku, mainly fixated on gambling manga where she stole ideas to incorporate into her backstory that she could boast about to others. Despite settling almost perfectly into her fabricated persona at this point, Celeste still retained one factor of Taeko. Having eaten it for so many meals growing up, she had developed an affinity for gyoza, and she still insisted on eating it even when it clashed with her style.

At age 17, Celeste was accepted into the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy under the title of Ultimate Gambler. She joined the 78th class, and despite attempting to keep her distance and remain reserved and emotionally detached, she couldn't help but end up developing a fondness for her classmates. When the Tragedy (long story) broke out, Headmaster Jin Kirigiri asked each member of the 78th class if they would be willing to potentially spend the rest of their lives in the school building as he turned it into a fortified shelter. Although it would mean renouncing her dream of acquiring a castle, Celeste lived up to her talent by taking a gamble on her friends; that they would make life tolerable for her through continuing to humor her on her persona as they had for the past year. Over the following year inside the shelter, Celeste appears to have began letting them see more of Taeko as well, perhaps learning that she didn't need to be ashamed of who she was because her friends accepted all of her.

Unfortunately, two of her friends ended up being traitors: Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Fashionista, and Mukuro Ikusaba, the Ultimate Soldier, twin sisters who were secretly the masterminds behind Ultimate Despair and the Tragedy. After doing away with the Headmaster, the sisters captured the rest of their classmates and wiped their memories of the past two years so that they now believed they were fresh off being accepted into Hope's Peak: forgetting their time spent there, the bonds of friendship they forged, and the state of the outside world due to the Tragedy. Thus did the Killing Game, run by the animatronic Monokuma and broadcast live to the world, begin.

Believing herself to be trapped against her will and surrounded by potentially murderous strangers, Celeste's immediate instinct was to commit murder herself and escape. But Taeko Yasuhiro's conscience fought back against this, as she didn't want to kill anyone, and so she instead leaned on her persona's calm and always in control attitude to lie to herself that she could instead adapt to living her life in the school building - primarily through psychologically manipulating everyone else into not playing the Killing Game and no longer being a threat. In essence, she thought that she could potentially make Hope's Peak into her castle, and her classmates into her servants.

Unfortunately for Celeste, nothing went the way she had hoped for. Murders and Class Trials happened. She was unable to solve any of the mysteries by herself, and found herself surrounded by people who outmatched her mentally or physically. The biggest thing she used to maintain a sense of control, the "Nighttime Rule" where everyone agreed not to leave their rooms during Nighttime, was constantly being broken, exposing her lack of control. Paranoia began to build up within her, and the hold her conscience had on her began to weaken. The final straw was when Monokuma offered up a $10,000,000 reward to whomever could become the successful "Blackened", which would be enough to purchase her castle, and conflict between other classmates around an AI program named Alter-Ego that they were banking on finding them a way out of their imprisonment suggested to her that if she didn't act first another murder would happen (possibly of her) and the $10,000,000 would completely go to waste. Unable to place her faith in Alter-Ego securing an escape for everyone, Celeste finally suppressed her conscience and stopped lying to herself about being able to adapt. She decided that to survive and secure her dream, she must kill for it.

In the end, Celeste was done in by Taeko's need to be this character she had constructed. A simple murder she stood a better chance getting away with was not enough: she had to be a manipulative puppetmaster carrying out an overcomplicated scheme, clever in concept but unwieldy in practice, that she would have total control over and gamble for its success. Blunders made by her manipulated accomplice Hifumi Yamada and by her inability to maintain a poker face in a scenario where she was committing murder and trying to get away with it as opposed to playing a regular game she knew for sure she would win ultimately exposed her as the culprit during the Class Trial. When all of her defenses began to crumble and it became apparent that the supposed undefeatable genius Celestia Ludenberg was in fact going to lose, Taeko Yasuhiro erupted to the surface like a long dormant volcano, shouting and swearing as the mental and emotional stress it took to maintain her character at all times transitioned into pure rage as said character was being torn down through her classmates' reasonings, including the fact that Celestia Ludenberg was not her true name. It was only due to the efforts of Ultimate Lucky Student Makoto Naegi, whom Taeko had a buried fondness for due to their similar talents and plainness, that she was able to calm down, accept defeat and confess to everything.

While Taeko tried to maintain her Celeste persona to the end, explaining her motives and actions with refined language and no emotion, claiming that she thought and felt nothing of using others or even killing them as is befitting of the villainous manipulator Celeste was supposed to be, she still ended up slipping up three times:

-She once again erupted in rage when confronted with her constant refrain of needing to adapt to life trapped in Hope's Peak Academy, shouting about how that was a lie and that she always hated being held prisoner and placed in a Killing Game where she lacked control.

-She gave Kyoko the key to the locker where she stashed Alter-Ego even when she could have taken it with her to the grave to spite the classmates who defeated her, since she still had enough care for them (including through the two years' worth of memories that Junko had buried) to hope they could find an escape. She even almost confesses that being unable to place hope in Alter Ego is primarily why she betrayed them rather than just because she wanted money for a castle, but cuts herself off since having committed murder and about to be executed for it, it doesn't change or excuse anything so it's not important. She instead wishes her classmates well and says that she hopes they meet again if they're reincarnated in another life.

-While she was maintaining her collected, composed front as she was tied to a medieval scaffolding and about to be burned alive - a painful death but also a horrific Gothic-style one worthy of European noblewoman Celestia Ludenberg - her shock and despair showed clearly on her face when Monokuma suddenly drove in on a firetruck and prepared to ram her with it - a quicker death but also an utterly commonplace one worthy of regular urbanite Taeko Yasuhiro. She spent so long seeking to live as Celeste, with obtaining a castle and servants paid to play along with her lie representing the apex of that, but instead died as the girl she hated...and most tragically of all, the girl she might have come to accept if not for Junko's machinations.

Diagnosis: Taeko Yasuhiro presents herself as a sociopath in her Celestia Ludenberg persona, but this is primarily her aping the various sociopathic gambling manga protagonists she's read about. In actuality, she exhibits avoidant personality disorder and strong dissociative tendencies, plus signs of an Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder and a Narcissistic Personality Disorder developed through the years of rigid inhabitation of her character.

This patient is not dangerous when not placed in a Killing Game.

Mark/ Mohawk Mark x reader

About: Basically invincible variants bullshit, and mohawk mark is the hottest I fear. Reader mistakes mohawk mark for their mark. Ouch! Tags: Non canon compliant, literally has nothing to do with what actually went down, mohawk mark playing his cards right to get some. we love a clever man around here, Reader is naive asf, implied smut but it's really just some kissing. (saint virgin eclipse era.)

-------------------

“Just stay calm and I’ll fix everything, I promise.” You hear a shrill scream and the sound of a thousand science fair volcanoes erupting. In response, you duck behind an apartment building. 

Clutching your bag to your body, you somehow make it through the alleyway and out the other side, just a little further from the destruction. In that moment, Mark decides to give you some of his classic, wise advice, “And preferably get further from the damage? I can still see you, you know…” 

You close your eyes and cringe at that. Oh, that snarky, asshole, piece of shit. With a big mouth, too. You glare at the sky. Although you don’t see him, you hope it gets the message across. 

Maybe if Mark stopped pulling his goddamn punches, then a fire breathing dragon wouldn’t be terrorizing your district. And in that moment you swear to yourself that when Mark saves the universe, you’ll kill him immediately after, so he wouldn’t even get to enjoy it. 

Before you can plan your revenge on your boyfriend, a car plummets heavily into the gravel from the sky, just a few feet away from you, and you instictively scream. The car makes a million different noises of honks and rings as you try to catch your breath. Why me? You lament, Why goddamn me? 

“Are you okay?” You hear across the line once you’ve calmed down a little more, and you clench the phone in your hands. 

“Just peachy. I’ll call you back when I get some place safe.” You snap into the speaker, and Mark says something brilliant like, “Whuh?” before you end the call. 

You make sure to put your phone safely in your bag before you run. You run faster than you’ve ever run before in your life. You run away from the danger, from monsters and superhero boyfriends and unfortunately— your apartment and flat screen TV. 

Adrenaline keeps you going till you reach the heart of the city. You manage to accidentally break the lock of your planned safehouse in your rush, but you decide to shut it behind you and pretend that didn’t happen. 

You hang your bag, and in that moment quickly decide that leaving the door unlocked was not one of your brightest ideas, and you begin to barricade your door, placing any heavy furniture you can find in front of it. Which honestly, isn’t much. 

Once you sit down on the plain white bed, you start to notice the burn in your legs and your sides from sprinting halfway across the city. You try to rub your waist as you look for Mark’s contact on your phone. 

“Need help with that?” 

The voice makes you shriek and jump from the bed. Your heart beats a mile a minute as you see Mark– no, Mark with a mohawk resting on the inside sill of your window. 

With that realization, you take a pillow and throw it at him, “Oh my god Mark, you scared me—!" He dodges easily and you try to catch your breath, "What are you doing here? Go. Help The Guardians or something.” You say, slightly out of breath.

Mark hops off the window and stalks towards you, there's a crazed gleam in his eyes, “Don’t worry, it’s all taken care of…” He says rather breathily, like he’s in awe or in disbelief. 

He comes towards you till he’s right in front of you, and you miss the way he grips your shoulder by the way your blood is still thumping madly in your veins, and slides across your arms till he reaches your hands, and squeezes. 

Ignoring your rapidly beating heart, you get on your tippy toes and try look across his shoulder to the window. Without even taking a glance yet, you hear a scream and the sound of catastrophe. Before you can open your mouth to tell him to 'get back out there!', Mark zips to the window, shutting the blinds and coming back to his original position with such speed it nearly knocks you off balance. Luckily, he’s there to stabilize you by gripping your hips, digging his fingers through your jeans. 

“Mark—” You tell him, then sigh when he raises his eyebrows and smiles. He appears a bit different. You’d noticed it when you first saw him, but with the blinds closed…

“What’s with the new do?” You ask him, “Got your hair burnt off or something?”

He laughs, boisterous in a way that Mark has never. You wonder if it’s the adrenaline from the battle, and merely roll your eyes. 

He pushes you back to the bed, till you willingly fall on the white sheets and he climbs on top of you. 

“Fuck. I missed you, you’re so goddamn hot.” He breathes as he kisses your jaw wetly, trailing all the way to your chin. “You like my hair?” 

You ignore him. “The world needs you, and you’re here, fooling around?” You grumble, not exactly thrilled with this turn of events. 

He can play the ignoring game too, “My hair. Do you like it?” He kisses your lips sloppily, and you don’t even extend the effort to kiss his back, just letting him suck and kiss as he pleases. 

Your eyes flit to his hair, thinking about it seriously for a moment, “Mmm…yeah. It’s sexy. I guess.” You add that last part to keep his ego contained. He chuckles and bites at your neck, kissing it roughly after. 

“You’re so fucking sexy im gonna ruin you.” 

He wastes no time in pinning you and making out sloppily on the bed. You grip the hair that is on his head to angle him as you please. He finds that funny.

You barely hear your phone ring. But with super hearing, of course your boyfriend manages to detect it. Mohawk Mark kicks at your bag, and your phone clatters out of it, showing a missed call from: Mark <3

Not proofread but I dont keh because I am wild and free! Stay tuned for tomorrow nights episode where I peg him!!! <33

Patient File: Maximillion J. Pegasus

President and CEO of Industrial Illusions.

Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, Maximillion J. Pegasus was the heir to a fortune made from a casino hotel. He was still a child when he met another wealthy child at a social event: Cecilia. She became his best friend and ultimately his lover, encouraging his dream to not follow in his father's footsteps and instead become a painter, as art was his passion ever since he became a fan of Funny Bunny, a character in TV and comic books. Pegasus and Cecilia ended up becoming engaged, only for Cecilia to fall seriously ill and then pass away, leaving her fiancé devastated as he sunk into a deep depression.

After looking up beliefs in the afterlife, Pegasus was the most drawn to the legends of Ancient Egypt, and so he went on a trip to Egypt to see if he could find any truth to the myths. In the village of Kul Elna, he discovered the hidden underground Temple of the Millennium Items, where members of the Millennium Order told him he could not leave without trying on a Millennium Item...a potentially deadly situation, as if an Item did not accept him then it would kill him. But feeling as though he had nothing to lose, Pegasus accepted having his eye gouged out so that the Millennium Eye could be inserted in.

The Millennium Eye accepted him, as the dark power within it showed him a vision of Cecilia emerging from the Door to the Afterlife. This convinced Pegasus that it was possible to retrieve his beloved's soul, and it drove him to madness. He pursued the truth behind the Millennium Items fervently, leading him to found the game company Industrial Illusions and create the trading card game Duel Monsters, with every card based on monsters and spells that were actually summoned back in Ancient Egypt and personally painted by Pegasus himself. He even did so with three Egyptian Gods, although he regretted this when he realized that it invited said Gods' power into the cards, which he promptly hid away to protect the world.

Pegasus' fixation on Funny Bunny and cartoons in general also increased because he came to associate them with immortality: lifeforms that were not of flesh and blood and thus could never die. That is why his own personal Duel Monsters deck is largely centered around "toon monsters" and the Toon World magic card, although its trump card was Relinquished, a monster that represented Pegasus' own twisted psyche and willingness to use others for his own ends.

Eventually, Pegasus determined that he had to unite all seven Millennium Items into the Tablet of the Pharaoh's Memories in Kul Elna in order to retrieve Cecilia's soul from the afterlife. But then there was the matter of the body it would inhabit. For that, Pegasus needed the lifelike holographic technology of Kaiba Corp, another game company that he had dealings with. This goal led Pegasus down a path of villainy, as he kidnapped, manipulated, and even murdered his way through every obstacle. The more he used the powers of his Millennium Eye, the more tainted his soul became.

Diagnosis: Pegasus suffers from clear monomania. He has the idée fixe that he can bring Cecilia back from the dead and is willing to do absolutely anything to make that happen, and no amount of arguing or appeals to morality can shake him. He also displays dissociative tendencies, as his lack of conscience in committing acts of evil stems from separating himself from others in his own mind: he places himself in something of a different reality where, much like a cartoon, matters of suffering and death do not affect him.

This patient is not dangerous, as he has lost his Millennium Eye.
