Frankly, I'd hesitate to use the Doctor (any incarnation) for fear of not doing him justice. ... But, now that I think about it, he might be very good in a certain scene. We'll see.

I need some victims patients to be stuck in FicPsych during the 2008 macrovirus epidemic. I've already got Legolas, two Phantoms of the Opera, and an unnamed Redwall vermin character (Laburnum, any suggestions would be very useful). I would really like a few more, so if any of you remember doing missions that might have resulted in somebody going to FicPsych around that time, please let me know. They must be canon characters, but otherwise anything goes. A description of their condition and/or link to the mission in question would also be helpful.
~Neshomeh, actually making progress on a story at the moment.
I think that's enough to be going on with. I probably won't use everyone, but we'll see where the story leads. Thanks again. {= )

…suppose there are three incarnations of the Doctor? Say, Two, Four, and Ten, due to Sue-induced wangst. Now, we know from Fear Her that the Doctor is a Star Trek fan (Ellison can go pound sand).

Both traumatised by the amount of times fanbrats make them sleep together.
It's really unfortunate how much of FicPsych's traffic seems to be due to Bad Slash situations.

Not from a mission, but:
Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, Bleach. In FicPsych due to complete personality replacement in a fic, which turned him from an obsessive, psychopathic killer to a fluffy, loving wimp completely in love with the person he canonically thinks of as 'his prey'. (Oh how I wish fanbrats would stop butchering his character like that already.)
Ulquiorra Schiffer, Bleach. In FicPsych to have his emotions removed after overexposure to Sues and/or non-canonical love interests. He's meant to be even less emotive than a Vulcan, which is something that most Suethors, and bad slashers, forget.
Aizen Sousuke, Bleach. In FicPsych due to being turned into a genuinely kind and caring person, instead of a cold, calculating sociopath who only sees others as pawns to be manipulating according to his will.
Grimmjow and Ulquiorra are GivenName FamilyName, Aizen is FamilyName Given Name.
Aizen is the sort who is likely to start plotting a takeover once he's recovered enough to resemble his canon self. Keeping his sword away from him and preventing him from having contact with Ulquiorra and Grimmjow is probably a good idea. Ulquiorra won't act without orders from Aizen, but Grimmjow may require frequent sedation to keep him from looking for Macroviruses to tear apart or vaporise, especially if he's been cooped up for a while.
Hope this helps.
…of Luke Skywalker turning his lightsaber on the bugs.
I'll also suggest Jim Phelps, Rollin Hand, Willie Armitage, Barney Collier, and Cinnamon Carter (the Impossible Missions Force in seasons 2 and 3).
FicPsych does attempt to keep the canons out of the way--could you imagine if one of them got infected and the disease spread?--but Luke is just the sort of person to ignore his own safety and leap into the fray. {= P I suppose they'll just have to confiscate his lightsaber afterward.
Why do you suppose he was there in the first place, though?
As for the rest, I'm afraid I've never even heard of them before.

Shindo Hikaru and Akira Toya. Both males from the anime Hikaru no Go. Ages anywhere between 10 to 16 years of age (depending on where in the serise the story takes place)
Reason for being in FicPsych, in practically every fanfic with them in it, they are paired together. They are rivals and that rivalry, for some reason, is interpreated as lust for the other. It is not, they would never pair. (But that does not stop the `Suthors.)
So, after the nth time of being slashed together, they both snap. Thier minds are too fried from agents going in an fixing the story line. They need time in the psych ward to heal before they can go back.
Hope this helps!

They can easily cause trouble as they get better and get tired of being stuck with each other. ^_^
I assume you gave their names as Surname Given-name...? Or the other way around?
~Neshomeh
Name order that I origionally gave was in the English style. They will call each other by their surnames of Shindo and Toya.

Their combat experience and ability: absolutly zero.
Their strategy and planning skills: epic.

Any preference between one of the cute vermin or one of the psycho vermin?
Don't know if I can find any actual fics bad enough to send 'em to FicPsych since TS is over. The fandom tends to ignore the background characters in favour of creating Sues which are even more superpowered and interchangeable than the ones in the canon (at least Mr Jacques remembers to specify what species each character is at the beginning of each book *sigh*). But I could probably invent something horrible.
I actually need them to be on the mend and getting sick of being kept in FicPsych after weeks of quarantine. I'd imagined someone who would have, for one reason or another, required sedation between sessions with Dr. Freedenberg, if that suggests anyone to you.
~Neshomeh
... that could have sent him there: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1563512/RattytheScourge
I would spork these things, but I can't make head or tail of the Babelfished content. Okay, if I were to try writing fic in Russian, I'm sure it would look worse, but still, owie. He'd need months in FicPsych just to be rendered capable of talking coherently again.
I don't even know how the Cluny one can properly be called fanfic. There's barely a story, as far as I can tell--just a monologue about how much the narrator loves Cluny, who may or may not have raped her, by the look of things. {= P
Still, I like the idea of a Cluny infuriated by his inability to speak properly. *g*
~Neshomeh
... but only mildly. You can sort of follow what's going on in it, at least, which is more than I can say for the others. Of course, as I said, if I were to try writing fanfic in Russian it would look much worse, but I'd have the sense to get someone who actually spoke Russian to look over it. And even when the fic's as incoherent as that they STILL managed to get him out of character!
I'm now imagining Cluny speaking in Babelfished Russian throughout whatever you have planned. (Well, in our case, Babelfished from English to Russian and back.)
Thinking of a line from Clerks now; "Oh, he speaks English, but he can't not speak it good like we do."
I'm basically just desperate for some names to use in this story; I'd like them to be from actual badfic situations, and I really don't want to go trawling aimlessly through the badfic. So, in a word: help!

Katara, Avatar: The Last Airbender. In FicPsych due to having her personality dismantled to turn her into a weak-willed "damsel in distress", in order to facilitate the Zuko x Katara ship and to serve as a vessel for author projection.
I could hunt down a specific example if you need a reference to cite, but I guarantee that there's been five thousand examples of that one since roughly 2006.
That's just enough information for me to pretend I know what I'm talking about. Thanks. ^_~
