Suggested Characteristics

d8	Personality Trait
1	Compulsive: You can't focus in a single action or situation for too long and barely stand the idea of doing things calmly. You can't cast spells with concentration.
2	Anxious: You are always worried that something terrible will happen soon. You are proficient in perception.
3	Bipolar: You jump from extreme activity and enhanced emotional responses to deep depressive instances of lethargy.
4	Multiple personalities: You think you are several creatures of extreme power like an elder dragon, a beholder or a god. when you feel threatened you put a blanket a cape or even your shirt over your head and shoulders and believe you transform into any of your "true" selfs, you gain none of that creature's abilities. While in this state both your hands are used, you drop any weapons you hold; whenever your DM deems proper you can make a WIS check (DC defined by your DM) to recover from any of your multiple personalities for the rest of the encounter. (If you don't have anything to cover yourself you will stop any actions and focus in finding something to cover yourslef)
5	Histrionic: You are obsessed with approval and will try to convince others that you're right, whatever means necesary, be it lies, physical aggression, self-inflicted damage to seek nursing, etc.
6	Detached: You don't feel attached to anyone or anything, from persons to social rules, you seek only to keep your personal stability and tend to stay away from others to prevent them to distort your lifestyle. Throw away all heirlooms and items of personal significance (tools, trinkets, objects with coats of arms or names), also ignore all orders and comments from lawful characters.
7	The first step is the hardest: You accept your madness, and will try to suppresse as much as possible your sickness. Nights are specially hard for you to maintain self-control.
8	Malingering: You are faking many of your sympthoms, be it because you had to fake it at a time to survive or you use it as a cheap way to get what you need. But now everybody think you're completely crazy and even if you told people they would think is just denial.
