Title Avalanche
For those who don't maybe know, I start a lot of projects; stupidly, because there are many beyond what I can actually focus on at one time. Part of this is because my mind wanders (with tracking chip installed) often and comes up with ideas that are interesting. But because of over work, I have a pretty good collection of story titles, some in

Jerome Matthew Excaliber was a noted writer and (ex)child genius, specializing in existential philosophy and non-linear thinking (dabbling in various sciences) who one day, for unknown reasons, murdered his wife and two daughters (as well as a couple undetermined others). He developed a laundry list of pyshcosies, before and/or after the murders somewhere along the line, the most notible are four seperate personalities.
Two of them are seperate identities, Arthur and Gwenevere (yeah, fun times with naming tropes), surfacing under times of stress or when triggered, whether intro- or extrovertly. Arthur is cool-headed and old fashioned, often much more sane than Jerome. Gwenevere is a little more nutty than Jerome, and lot more violent, and is exteremly jealous of anyone the Arthur persona has contact with. Neither knows the other's thoughts, though Jerome is aware of both.
The other two are almost more of hallucinations, though not physically defined, the Lady and the Dragon. They act as shoulder angel/devil, though the Lady seems able to tell Jerome things he shouldn't be able to know about others, while the Dragon seems to be a manifestation of evil in Jerome, appearing before both Jerome and Gwenevere prior to violent episodes (though not all).
It seems like it would be a character study, but the whole thing (plot wise) wasn't thought out enough; it was a much bigger project than a sophmore highschool student could take on aptly. I only got as far as fleshing out Jerome, and knowing at some point he escapes the mental hospital he's at, but nothing beyond that.
Still, seems like there's something there to work with.
