_LOVED BY ZANTELION. HE/HIM. GMT+8._1 | FOLLOWING BACK: _ Minors will be avoided. I follow back any canon characters or original characters that I think has the potential to interact with my character, and only those with adult writers. There is a low chance of me following back if there is no character or writer information posted.2 | INTERACTIONS: _ I do long detailed RPs, banter, crack, and anything under the sun. Romantic, platonic, and sexual connections are encouraged. If we're mutuals, feel free to tag me on tweets or roleplays. You are also free to DM me. I will not roleplay explicit sexual intercourse on the timeline, as I am aromantic asexual and unexperienced in that regard.3 | SHIPPING WITH SAINTE: _ Adult writers only. This account is multi-ship. Sainte accepts all adults of any gender and is non-monogamous. | "Ship" can encompass a lot of things when it comes to Sainte, so any "love" will be reciprocated in the only way he can. He has fluctuating romantic and sexual intent due to being in the aromantic-asexual spectrum, and having a dissociative disorder.4 | REPLY TIME: _ If a week has passed and I haven't replied to an on-going roleplay thread, you may DM me a link to the thread so I can reply. This is OK to do as long as you don't push me. I'm currently a college student at a prestigious university so I'm not online 24/7.5 | GOD-MODDING: _ Please respect the boundary between in-character and out-of-character knowledge and information. As a personal preference, I would also like to avoid using real time stamps as a basis for in-character interactions. I believe that time passes differently in roleplay.6 | FOR ANY ISSUES: _ Even if we're not mutuals, if you have any issues or concerns, you may DM me. I highly prefer being DM'ed and receiving upfront feedback regarding my presence within the community and in-character. I'm always willing to listen and adjust if possible.
DR. SAINTE QUIRINO DE LEON, pronounced
＇SAN＇, is the Sinyala Facility's new
Trauma Specialist. Through his charisma,
the Prime Asset, SAINT DE LEON, was born.An original character for
THE OUTLAST TRIALS by RED BARRELS.
_GOOD DAY, REAGENTS!_Meet the Prime Asset, Saint De Leon!Housed by the new trial environment, The Orient Village, you must flip a switch that dictates day and night within the map, changing the orientation of light and dark areas. In the Day-Cycle, the Saint De Leon walks slowly with a bolo at hand, ready to kill at a moment’s notice. In the Night-Cycle, the Saint De Leon drops the bolo and resorts to using his monstrous fangs, puncturing the reagent and inducing bleed upon contact.The featured main trial, Coup the Community, features a Community Leader intending to betray American forces and incite a rebellion against the government.
“You are the mouth connecting progress and victory. The community leader intends to bite the hand that feeds, making plans to rally the gullible commonsfolk into a gross act of terrorism. Correct the rumors, coup the community, and we will let you out.”
__ATTENTION, SINYALA STAFF._Sent by the CIA, Sainte Quirino De Leon is a Trauma Specialist stationed at the infirmary eleven hours a day if not called for a trial.His status as Trauma Specialist is not something you should throw around. He will be often grouped with the regular set of scientists, doctors, and researchers present within the facility. Details of his occupation and the results of his work are for him to tell. He responds directly to Doctor Easterman.Infirmary personnel are at his disposal. Please do not disturb the doctor when he is working._

He claims his records were lost during the World War.〉 De Leon refused to expand on his operations for the CIA, a large bulk of which were done in the Philippines. He did, however, call himself a "thread" between the United States of America (USA) and the Philippines, providing necessary intel to the CIA.〉 De Leon assisted in the CIA's war on communism.〉 It is heavily speculated that he was responsible for the death of the president that preceded his relative's, Ramon Magsaysay, in 1957, cutting the end of his presidency by 9 months.〉 After the plane crash, the vice president at the time, Carlos P. Garcia, took on the mantle of president from then on.

OCCUPATION
_PUBLICITY_ _ His job as a “Trauma Specialist” remain unknown to a majority of people. Even reagents who are being taken cared for by him may not know he is a “Trauma Specialist”.He is primarily known as, and is grouped with, “scientists” and “researchers”. He is also recognized as “infirmary personnel”, sometimes mistaken as a nurse.Within the infirmary, he is officially recognized as a doctor capable of taking on cases, and sometimes even surgery. But infirmary personnel are first and foremost notified of his role as a specialist. He will not be disturbed if he looks busy, and they should follow his orders if he has any.That is all that everyone knows.Most of the time, if not always, Dr. De Leon approaches the reagents in his roster with kindness — he provides them with space, avoids unnecessary touching or staring, and speaks with a soft voice. He tends to be patient. This method, in tandem with his charisma, allows Dr. De Leon to receive the information he needs.___DETAILS_OFFICIAL TITLE: _ “Trauma Specialist”
ADDRESS: _ “Dr. De Leon”JOB DESCRIPTION: _ “The trauma specialist is responsible for analyzing the relationship between the manifestations of trauma and physical stimuli.”〉 The Trauma Specialist responds directly to Dr. H.J. Easterman.
〉 In no way shape or form will the Trauma Specialist be forced to disclose the details of his findings to anyone except Dr. H.J. Easterman.
〉 Should the Trauma Specialist’s findings assist in the work of others, he is recommended to distribute information.
〉 The Trauma Specialist will be given the ability to observe any and all therapy procedures with standard security and safety protocols implemented.
〉 Infirmary personnel are at the Trauma Specialist’s disposal.NOTE: “Don’t forget, he’s still an Agency friend.”
— A. Bradley Avellanos___SCHEDULING_ _ Below is the standard time allotment proposed by Dr. De Leon, approved.05:00—05:29 [30 MIN] MORNING ROUTINE
05:30—12:29 [7 HRS] DUTIES
12:30—12:44 [15 MIN] LUNCH BREAK
12:45—16:45 [4 HRS] DUTIES
16:46—23:59 [7 HRS] AFTERHOURS
00:00—04:59 [5 HRS] REM CYCLE〉 NOTE: _ This schedule is active for all 7 days. “Afterhours” is mainly used to round up and deliver documents.___WORKFLOW_ _ It is imperative that you do not disturb Dr. De Leon during his duties.INFIRMARY DUTIES:
〉 Dr. De Leon is informed given a list of reagents sent to the infirmary — in extreme cases, usually highly reactive, volatile, and physically harmful ones with a history of violence towards others and themselves. Other times, reagents who have resigned themselves to no longer eating, drinking, and moving. Peculiar cases are also accepted.
〉 Dr. De Leon will examine these reagents’ files for the morning. He may decide to visit the infirmary to meet the reagent or request for more information regarding them — security personnel will be required to surrender therapy (trial) records to aid Dr. De Leon.
〉 Dr. De Leon may initiate a preliminary interview with the subject before diagnosis and therapy. A tape recording is not required but appreciated.
〉 Dr. De Leon usually employs various tests:
__ ＞ Talking tests: Vowels, consonants, comprehension, rhetoricals and hypotheticals; he refuses to elaborate on this one
__ ＞ Mobility tests
Eye movement tests
__ ＞ Trigger tests: Typically requires a private roomTRIAL OBSERVATION DUTIES:
〉 Dr. De Leon will be informed if current patients in his list, as well as reagents of interest, are preparing to enter a trial. In some cases, he may attend and observe a trial to personally examine the relationship between manifestations of trauma and physical stimuli live.THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT ALL:
〉 Dr. De Leon will write an extensive report on his findings for the day. The board does not require this. It is his insistence that he expresses all findings in such elaborate, detailed manner. He will almost always require past records and findings by other scientists to aid this work. This task takes hours and is often broken down by Dr. De Leon into parts.
〉 Dr. De Leon has the ability to prescribe and suggest changes into the reagent’s conditions, the prime asset involved, or the trial environment itself.
〉 Almost always, document writing bleeds into his afterhours, beyond scheduled work.__RESULTS_ _ Time is money. So due to budget constraints…Most of Dr. De Leon’s suggestions are “kept in mind” but require a level of attention and focus that M. Scarfiotti may struggle to implement.The more minor suggestions focused on the reagent have a higher percentage of being implemented.Unless implementation can be done in bulk, it’s out in the bin.His documents, however, does have its merits — its level of detail regarding reagent behavior and its relationship with the trial environment and ex-pops are basis to plenty of resurging proposals now, treated as “base data” to build upon._
PRIME ASSET: SAINT DE LEON
_CONCEPT_ _The Philanthropic Uncle, the man in the family who has chosen to bear holiness for himself, wanting nothing but good for the community. You do not meet him that much. He is often over-seas, serving the welfare of foreign countries instead of his homeland's. This is the man the Reagents are meant to see past through. He is a saint in the eyes of the people, hence called Saint De Leon/St. De Leon/San De Leon.Easterman claimed that removing the "e" to represent saint-hood instead of his actual name is thematically relevant, as with De Leon refusing to take off the mask during trials like he was planned to do so.This Prime Asset, even before getting his charisma properly recognized, is a storyteller, and his trial is a story to tell. You will not see De Leon's face. Bloodied red, you will have no clue to what he is feeling nor seeing. When you roam the trial environments, all you see is a bloated corpse.See, the Philanthropic Uncle hears the stories of the people — folktales about the oriental Aswang, vampire-esque mythological creatures that the villagers genuinely believe in. Thus, the best way to control the community is to control the fears they already have: show them that the Aswang is real. Unluckily for you, the saint and the beast are one and the same.WEAPON: _ The bolo, a pre-colonial Filipino short to medium-sized sword or large knife that is both a farming tool and an effective weapon. There are also faux steel fangs on his palms.CLOTHING: _ Moriones mask mock-up, a safety contraption for the head, a straitjacket customized by yours truly, and military boots with knee-high spats. Straw hat.

MAIN TRIAL: COUP THE COMMUNITY
Trial environment map, objectives list, and sketches coming soon.The main concept of the trial is to coup THE COMMUNITY LEADER which will be the main victim of the trial.The aesthetics involve make-believe dirt, a fake sky, and very real trees. There is a forest, multiple wooden houses scattered across the area, and a few rural establishments present: mainly a village hall, a church, and a community well.Similar to the resort's freezing cold, this trial environment has a gimmick: THE DAY-NIGHT CYCLE.__NIGHT-CYCLE_ _ The trial starts out in the NIGHT. The environment is relatively open. There are ample spaces for enemies to spot you. There are multiple houses that serve as light areas.ST. DE LEON:
〉 Has the ability to climb up and CAMP on obstacles and certain areas, widening his scope and search. Once he sees you, he will engage in a chase.
〉 LEAVES HIS BOLO near the entrance area's DAY-NIGHT SWITCH.
〉 Presumes the role of the ASWANG. No such weapon is hindering him. He possesses NIGHT VISION, exemplified by his ability to jump on and camp on obstacles.
〉 When GRABBING the reagent, he is quick to bury his fanged palms into their neck area, depleting ONE HEALTH BAR and additional BLEEDING.___DAY-CYCLE_ _ To complete the first objective, you will pull a switch down. The DAY will commence. The open area will lighten, and the houses will serve as the dark areas.ST. DE LEON:
〉 Has the ability to climb up and CAMP on obstacles and certain areas, widening his scope and search. Once he sees you, he will engage in a chase.
〉 Is CARRYING A BOLO. He finds it heavy and irritating, thus, uses it ineffectively. Using the weapon is not true to his heart.
〉 When GRABBING the reagent, he will have a few seconds before he could swing his bolo. Failure to push him off results to damage, depleting THREE HEALTH BARS.___MAIN TRIAL FLOW_OBJECTIVE: ENTER THE VILLAGE
〉 it is NIGHT. you spawn at the entrance, which leads to a dirt pathway. american vehicles are parked or damaged along the way.
〉 work in progress...this guy is a wip so like, i'll list down some ideas i've been having for a while.the day-night cycle operates through a switch. each stage of the trial means you have to pull that switch.i was also thinking that all main objective areas are in the open areas. this was so that the reagent cannot just remain in the houses for the whole trial.also, i'm thinking you can steal his bolo, maybe as an objective or to fuck with him. it counts as a heavy object, and jumping carelessly can induce bleeding.lotsa ideas. i have a map to do and objectives to write. cheers and let's rp!_
