MURKOFF PSYCHIATRIC SYSTEMS
PROJECT LATHE TWO
Project Lead: Dr. Hendrick Joliet Easterman
CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES: MOLOTOVS
ARCHETYPE
Shaman to a pagan god of fire, they see military-scientific advancement in thermal weaponry and bombing as evidence of fire's deification.
AUGMENTATIONS
They have been encouraged to improvise firebombs, (hence the name "Molotov," of course referencing Molotov Cocktails.) Each caries a six-gallon gasoline tank. The Molotov's face mask includes a high-pressure nozzle at the mouth for spitting flame, and discouraging the further ingestion of fuel. Doctors have given them only minimal chemical and hormonal support for their therapy. Speech is all-but-impossible, as every Molotov has a severely damaged larynx from past, dedicated imbibing of gasoline and/or denatured alcohol.
PSYCHOLOGY
Entrance interviews revealed a dedicated fixation on napalm and similar incendiary technologies. Subjects have witnessed, or dreamed of, the widespread wartime use of napalm, especially in Korea and Japan. Could be personally responsible for thousands, or tens of thousands, of civilian deaths.
Subsequent, post-trial study has been more difficult with the subjects' loss of speech, but they exhibit a powerfully hypocritical juxtaposition of serving and commanding fire as a god. Displays deeply masochist gratitude for pain caused by burns, and distinct distaste for human contact. Conflates the consuming action of fire with the passage of time."
