Question here : what are your thoughts on mentally ill characters ? I've got someone who suffers severe burns after raiders burned his house and killed most of his family. After that, he developp PTSD which can cause : nightmares, big stress/violent reactions when exposed to the memory, possible personnality disorder, outbursts of violence, bad mood and distant personality, negative beliefs about themselves and others, avoidance, hypervigilance, reckless/self-destructive behavior...

After what I've read here, a character exposed to a PTSD will have a few of those aspects. Some of them are edgy, but do you think that, if well-dosed/handled, it can complete a character ? I am not talking about basing the whole character on that (PTSDs are temporary and can be cured), but only as a supplement to an OC's personality.
