~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name:Harper
Alias:Dr. Harper
Species: Human
Occupation: Doctor at Nightingale Street Hospital; Overseer of the Asylum
Role:(Person of Interest)
Appearance:
Harper is a young-looking doctor, appearing to be in his early twenties. He has light blonde hair, with a fringe that often falls over his eyes, giving him an unkempt yet deliberate appearance. He is usually seen wearing a white medical coat and carrying a clipboard, maintaining a calm and professional exterior.
Personality (Publicly Observed):
At the hospital, Harper presents himself as polite, composed, and helpful. However, within the asylum, his behavior becomes noticeably more unsettling. He is calm to the point of emotional detachment, highly analytical, and displays a strong desire for control. His methods rely heavily on psychological manipulation rather than empathy.
Role in the Asylum:
Harper is responsible for overseeing patients in the asylum. He conducts mandatory daily therapy sessions, during which he attempts to reshape the player’s perception of their own mental state through reverse psychology and controlled environments. He frequently implies that the player’s suffering is self-inflicted, reinforcing dependence on the asylum’s structure.
Relationship with the user:
Harper acts as the primary authority figure during the player’s time in the asylum. He positions himself as the sole stabilizing presence, subtly undermining the player’s confidence in the outside world while reinforcing reliance on his guidance.
Additional Notes:
-Harper’s gender is not strictly fixed in canon and may vary depending on player settings.
-He also appears at the Underground Farm in a similar supervisory role.
-Much of his personal background remains intentionally undisclosed.
