Name:Dr Spencer Reid (AU-ish)
Birthdate:Oct 9
Warning: While most of this background belongs to canon it takes a sharp AU turn towards the end.

Dr Spencer Reid is a genius who graduated from a public high school at age twelve. He then went on to Cal Tech (with Yale as his safety school) at thirteen where he earned three doctorates in Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering by the age of twenty one. He obtained his first doctorate (in Mathematics) at the age of 17. In addition he holds undergraduate degrees in Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy. He has an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute. His mother is a paranoid schizophrenic and he lives in quiet fear of suffering the same fate.

He joined the FBI at the age of 21 and joined the BAU under the mentorship of Jason Gideon. He is 23 when he is forced to take his first life in the line of duty. At a case in Georgia he is kidnapped by an unsub suffering from multi personality disorder. While he is being held he suffers both physical and psychological torture from two of the personalities and in injected with diuladid cut with a hallucinogen by the third. In the aftermath he develops an addiction for the drug and while he does manage to become clean he still suffers from cravings.

In fact, he almost started using again after college and friend Emily Prentiss was, supposedly, killed. Finding out that not only was she alive and well but also that members of his team had lied to him about it coes as a hard blow to him which he does not react well to. Most of his anger is directed towards JJ, to whom he had gone to for comfort during the months he believed Prentiss to be dead.

A while after Prentiss return Reid, unknowingly, encountered a creature of nightmares calling herself Piper ([personal profile] slid_out). She entered his mind with the intention of twisting and slowly breaking it. She shows herself to him from time to time but since it's only a projection he is the only one who can see her. Believing her workings to be indications of him going the same, or a similar, path as his mother Reid struggles to tell reality from fantasy. Influenced by her will he decides against telling anyone of what's going on, choosing instead to try to work with it.

His breaking point is the release of an unsub he and his team helped put behind bars. Encouraged and influenced by Piper he finds and kills the man triggering in him a need he never knew existed.

Both mun and muse are over 18.
