Background Shakream Asylum is an asylum based in the year 1901, but there is something darker and very different about this asylum then any other. Within these walls, horrible acts have been committed by those within its past. To better understand everything, you must know the truth behind the blood and darkness of Shakream. In 1890, Shakream Asylum was normal, in a sense, with the doctors functioning with experiments in order to cure their patients. One girl stood out amongst the wrecks though, this little girl was no more then nine years old and she was the most severe case they've ever seen. Since this girl had no home, no family, and no way to actually pay for treatment, they used her body like a tool. Experiments were done to her without remorse as they mutilated her body and mind farther then what both already were. Many doctors held no pity for their acts as they came up with new ways of treating syndromes and tested them upon the girl like a little white mouse waiting to die. Sadly the doctors would not simply let her die as they did whatever it took to keep her body and mind intact as best as they could. After a while though, the little girl became nothing more then a shell, but the doctor's didn't care as they continued. Deeper within her body, something was changing, something the doctors couldn't see. With the combination of all the tests, experiments and wrong doing, this little girl became a tuning fork for the supernatural. At first, the doctors didn't notice a thing until one was watching her within her room and noticed her lips moving then heard her speaking to herself as if two people were having a conversation. After that, the doctors began to watch her more carefully, listening to her as two people became three, four, and grew steadily.
Unable to explain it, they conducted more tests as the winter days began to fall upon the city. Nothing explained what was happening to the girl, going from a shell to having multiple personalities was unexplainable no matter how you looked at it! A few doctors began to fear what was to come while others were more and more interested in finding the truth. Their time had ran out on Christmas night though as they left the place locked up and went to their homes, spending the night with their families. Within the walls of the Asylum though, darker deeds were beginning to brew as the girl came to life and broke out of her room. From there, she began to stalk from room to room, dispatching each inmate as she came to them. Blood began to fill the halls, screams reverberating off the walls and fear filling the asylum. The inmates were stunned by the girl's actions and were unable to do anything about it as they watched her gut them one by one. When the doctors came back the following morning to check up on them, they were greeted with the smell of blood. When they found the girl, she was in the main visiting room, surrounded by the bodies, guts, and blood of her fellow inmates. In fact, she was covered within the entrails of her friend before the experiments and his head rested upon the table beside her. She was talking to him when the doctors came in and she turned to stare at them with a sickly smile upon her lips. They were shell shocked as they stared at the scene and if that wasn't bad enough, the girl took up the scalpel resting upon the table and plunged it into her eye, shoving it deep into her brain, killing her instantly.
Afraid of what would happen, the doctors began to clean up the mess while others began to cover up what happened that night with forged papers. They made it look like a full out transfer to a different asylum, each inmate going somewhere different to avoid suspicions. But the real trick was staging the accident that killed them all before any could get to their intended destination and make it as though there were no bodies to be claimed. Keeping the asylum open, the doctors who were involved in the cover-up slowly were found dead within the asylum, murdered in odd ways. Though there was no one found guilty and a few doctors noticed the personalities of their past, dead, inmates within the killings. Fear began to bubble within the doctors who were involved while one of the younger ones began to notice something. He began to come up with a theory that seemed rather far fetched, but it seemed to match what was happening with the girl and what was happening now. This theory was that those who died here that night, were stuck here, but before he could tell anyone, his body was found decorating the main visiting room, reminding many of the older doctors of the morning of that bloodbath. After that, many of the doctors retired, no longer able to work at the asylum without being reminded of that awful night, but the asylum continued. The ghosts roaming the halls became quiet as they no longer had problems, since their main tormentors were no longer around, but they stayed within the walls, waiting to protect their inmates or kill them...
Now Shakream Asylum is based on the outskirts of London, close enough to London for the doctor's to have homes, but far enough away to do whatever the please without interruptions. Most of the doctors from 1890 have left, only a small handful decided to stick around, some more so on call then working at the asylum on a daily basis. Still taking in inmates, the new doctors have to figure out how to cure each symptom somehow, meaning more experiments while the inmates are beginning to see or even hear the lingering spirits within the building. The catalyst is yet to come, but I still warn you, tread carefully.
