"Real" Personas for characters
Newbie here. Please be kind.
I've been itching to ask this for a bit.
How much or how little work do people put into what is supposed to be their identity as far as the doctors and nurses pretend? I read a little bit when someone was asking about patient files and the stuff in the patient possessions room. I'm mostly curious. It seems like that fake identity--diagnoses of what people are suffering from other than delusions of being other people, their "family" etc.--might be issues that would come up when dealing with the staff.
Can someone advise me or point to somewhere this may have been discussed before? I've read pretty far back on the lounge but not everything. I've also skimmed a lot of the posts in the actual community too.
As a side note. The wiki is confusing me terribly. I've worked on the real Wikipedia a little bit (correcting errors, not creating pages though there is one I mean to make some day), and one for Desperate Fans, so I'm not inexperienced in creating pages, but I am stumped. I need to do a new fandom page and then a character page. I feel dumb.
ETA: I'm posting this early (when few people on LJ arealive awake) because we're likely to be out most of the afternoon and evening. It depends when my boyfriend gets up, and then we have D&D from 4 til midnight CST. So if people are kind enough to answer I may not get back to replies until tomorrow.
