This is literally just lore for my Outlast Trials OC, just putting this here to remember it and stuff :3

//Born into a family of wealthy French politicians in 1933, Niccolò Oscuro spent his childhood being told he would follow in his father's footsteps and also become a politician. This troubled the young man, having zero interest and political affairs. Something else interested him much more then the political affairs of a country he really didn't care for- something medical. Anything involving the mouth fascinated him- to a scary amount for those around him. At 13, his parents realized just how troubled he truly was when he began to kill small animals. He would mutilate them, focusing on anything involving the oral cavity. This earned him a number of beatings from his father for his "unruly behavior". Eventually his tendencies got more confident, leading to Niccolò murdering a neighbor's dog he led out of their house. The dog was found with most of its teeth missing and its tongue ripped out. His parents were utterly disgusted and mortified of what had become of their 'supposed-to-be-protege-golden-child'.

Niccolòs parents decided the best course of action was to medicate and shun the child and pray he becomes "normal". So for 5 years, Niccolò was not allowed to leave his house. Anytime he tried, he would be starved for however many days seemed fit. Medical visits were done by doctors who came by the house so he wouldn't need to go outside. He was homeschooled by his mother, focusing on the medical industry and learning English to hopefully give him somewhat of a chance at life. Maybe they could use his medical knowledge for good, move to America for college, and turn his psychotic tendencies into.. well, normal tendencies. Naturally, Niccolò found himself in love with dentistry. He loved anything that had to do with the mouth, and began to beg his parents to pay for tuition to college so he could become a licensed D.D.S. His parents, although still upset about breaking the political traditions, agreed. At 18, Niccolò was shipped away to medical school in the sweet lands of the U.S.A.

However in those 5 years of isolation from most of the world, he had a lot going on in his personal life. For one, at 15 he had his first love. A dainty little female nurse (Referred to as Nurse Margot) who would occasionally make at home visits when Niccolò needed them. He began to fake minor medical issues just so the little nurse would come by. He eventually confessed his deep, undying love for the nurse. She seemed much more amused than also in love with the teenager. She told him it was wrong, after all he was only 15 and she was 27. However, she made very little attempt to actually stop his advances. Niccolò lost his virginity to the women during his next visit from the nurse. His parents eventually found out one year later and had the nurse replaced, much to Niccolò's sadness. He felt that was the only true connection he had, he was shunned and totally alone again. So he began to go back to his ways of hurting anything smaller and "lesser" than himself.. in secret, this time. The basement of his family's house became his personal playpen, for any rodents lingering it was their personal hell.

Another aspect of his 5 year isolation was religion. Specifically Catholicism. Niccolò never found much faithfulness within himself, according to him he was the most important part of his life. Who needs a god when you have yourself? However, this didn't mean he chose to not practice. He still prayed, sang hymns, read the Bible, and even was baptized into the church despite never stepping foot into the church for the duration of his isolation years. When asked, Niccolòs parents told people he has an autoimmune disease and made him prone to getting sick so he had to stay isolated. He was only allowed to attend communion once, and afterwards referred to it as a waste of time. Despite this, he kept his prayer beads on his person at almost all times throughout his entire life.
