Other Characters Currently In-Game: Corvo, Jacob, Sheehan, Godric (swapping for Johann)
Character Name: Justine Florabelle
Series: Amnesia
Age: 31
From When?: Justine has no canon death, but we can say that she didn’t lock the door in time and one of the suitors got out and killed her
Inmate Justification: Justine is a complete narcissist and a bit of a psychopath. She manipulated three men into falling in love with her so she could turn them into horrible monsters, and then kidnapped three more men for the sole purpose of torturing them with horrible experiments.
Arrival: She would have agreed!
Abilities/Powers: She’s clever, resourceful, imaginative, but has no supernatural powers.
Inmate Information: cw: csa mention, cannibalism, torture, self-harm
Justine killed her father when she was 11. That is not her crime. Her father abused her in every way a girl could be abused. He was a psychotherapist who decided to use his daughter as an experiment. He kept her away from friends, from family, isolated her from the world, and experimented on her constantly. He told her that she was taking her mother’s place in the most vile way.
Her crimes came later, when she took up her father’s profession. Justifying herself by saying simply that the aristocracy never had to worry about right or wrong, they were always right, Justine began to draw the attention of three men: Aloïs Racine, Basile Giroux, and Malo de Vigny. These men were deeply and fanatically in love with Justine, but she was only playing with them. They knew of each other, fought for her hand, and she destroyed them one by one.
Aloïs was driven mad with love and lust for Justine, and she blinded him and chained him, placing a wheel around his neck to keep him from resting. He was willing to do anything for her by the end, including poisoning and restraining Basile and mutilating himself. He even offered to kill the man for her, but she had, of course, other plans.
She did convince Aloïs to drug Basile’s absinthe so that she could take him down to her Cabinet of Perturbation, her torture chamber, and blind him. He was abusive towards her, but she didn’t seem to mind it too much. It gave her fuel and determination to harm him. She gives him the same treatment as Aloïs and wraps him in chains and a wheel. Basile hates her for it, which only pleases Justine.
Malo was a wonderful violinist who lost his reputation by becoming exceptionally drunk before a performance and getting booed off the stage. He threw his bow out into the crowd and collapsed, where Aloïs and Basile gathered him up and Justine looked on, so amused by the whole ordeal that the newspapers even took note of her reaction. Malo is so mad that he has been eating his own flesh and tells Justine that he wants to “taste her.”
These men aren’t the only victims of her experiments. Justine experiments on herself, including giving herself an overdose of lithium, just to see if she can and what it feels like. She harms herself in the name of her twisted science.
Justine also captures Dr. Victor Fournier, Father Hector David, and Inspector Felix Marot for her own sick amusement. In a test of her own humanity, she gives herself a potion of amnesia that would take away her memories and sets herself inside of her torture chamber. She must either kill the three men to save herself, or she can set them free at a great risk.
For the purposes of this, she does choose to save the three men and solve the puzzles, rather than let them die the easy way to save herself. So while she is able to feel compassion and pity for these men when she doesn’t remember herself, as soon as she wakes up and regains her memories, she locks all six of them in the basement together, presumably to kill them or torment them later so she can ready herself for a party upstairs.
Justine is an overly pragmatic type who seeks excitement and entertainment above all things. She is an aristocrat through and through, even stating that she does not need to care about right or wrong because the aristocracy is always right. It means that she doesn’t want to examine any of her actions outside of her experiments on herself. She finds that she does have a sense of humanity left in her, but that doesn’t mean she will quit doing what she wants to do. She doesn’t see it as wrong, though she hides it from the staff. She doesn’t see it as anything more than her doing exactly what her father did to her, only with other people.
Because she was so isolated from people as a child and her only friend, her chambermaid, was scolded for trying to play with her when she was younger, Justine grew up terribly lonely, her worldview narrowed down to what her father presented to her and, later, what she found in the world of fancy parties, concerts, and tennis matches. She sought any sort of stimulation and buried herself in books, trying to find some sort of meaning to the world. It translates now to her being exceedingly lonely and unable to really articulate it. She can’t make friends without manipulating them in some way, and she doesn’t really want to.
She’s the sort of person who will do anything to find out the answers. She wanted to know what a lithium overdose would do, so she gave herself one and survived. She wanted to know about morality, so she devised an experiment on herself to do it because she can only trust herself to do it right. She craves experiences and new novel ideas, and wants to live. She would have come willingly to the Barge because it is something new, something different, and something that no one else she knows would experience. Death is boring, adventure is life.
Even in her torture chambers, Justine has her sciences. She’s posted anatomy books and drawn pictures for herself, keeping her pleasure and her work as separate as she can. However, she can’t help taunting herself when she’s walking through the hallways. Justine enjoys being right, enjoys being at the top of any conversation.
It isn’t all torture and books for her, though. Justine explains to herself that she prefers poetry to conversation and has written a few poems about her feelings of her father and what his death meant to her. She’s well read, well bred, well taught, and beautiful. The only thing holding her back from having a wonderful life is the fact that she’s a horrible torturer who delights in people’s pain.
Path to Redemption: Justine is redeemable at her core, but it will take a lot to get to that core. There are flashes of humanity in her, once she can get past the anger and loneliness. She doesn’t know how to truly feel love or even socialize with anyone properly without deception or manipulation. As a child, she would comfort the maid and found peace and happiness in that moment. A warden will need a soft touch with her, as a strict warden is what she will expect and it’s what she would fight against. She also someone who isn’t going to be easily manipulated or led astray. She needs someone she can see as an equal, someone she might be able to sympathize with without straying into pity. She needs a warden who will be in her personal business, too, to ensure that she isn’t manipulating her “friends” or anyone she takes on as a lover.
To redeem her is to show her compassion with no strings attached, and set boundaries for her that are very firm. She will first need to realize that she can make friends without manipulating them and she can care about people without getting punished or chastised. She has to learn how to socialize properly before she is able to feel remorse for what she did. She will need to be guided through some empathy for other people’s lives, to see them as people who matter, rather than fodder for experiments. It may be beneficial to take a more scientific route for this, to start, as she is more used to the clinical than she is to the emotional.
Justine’s answer to the Barge is going to be instant manipulation, to try and give herself the best start possible. She isn’t completely able to hide it, but she will certainly try. The strangeness of the people won’t seem to bother her, but will instead be a fascination.
