|playedby=Ezra Miller

|activity=Active
|in-play=yes
|overview=Once is never enough. Sweet release is fleeting, and once it has passed, the emptiness comes. Nothing will fill that void except to indulge again, and again, and again. Each time, push a little further, do a little more. Always more.<br><br>
Every fix comes with a cost. They swear this is the last time, until the next time.
|persistent=Naturally, The Addict is always addicted to something, though what that thing is changes from lifetime to lifetime. They also have amazing hair.
|persona=The Addict goes by the name Briar. They're genderqueer and have an impressive wardrobe. They also speak with an accent that's part Jersey, part Brooklyn, despite having never been to either of those places (as far as they know).<br><br>
Briar is usually kind and supportive. They want to do right by their friends, and the lengths they'll go to probably isn't healthy. They may not always be the most reliable friend, but damn if theyr'e not well-intentioned.
|desc=Briar is slender and tall, with shoulder-length dark hair and deep brown eyes. They're youthful, with a handsome face dusted with a sparse amount of facial hair when they haven't bothered to shave. They usually wear their hair back in a bun, with loose strands to frame their face. When they smile, there's a sparkle in those eyes and a dimple in each cheek.

Their clothing varies from day to day, but the common theme is gender fluidity. They seem to favor kimono-style robes, though sometimes they'll go as simple as jeans and a t-shirt or elaborate as an elegant gown. Whatever their style of the day, chances are they're barefoot. On days where they're feeling fancy, one might find them wearing makeup.
|door=On the door to the Addict's room is a symbol of a person hung upside down in chains above a broken scale. There is a spilled wine bottle to one side of the broken scale and a scattering of pills on the other.
|room=Most of the lights in this windowless room are pillar candles or wall sconces, with the exception of the lamp on the bedside table for reading and the lighted mirror on a vanity in the corner. The vanity is draped in clothing tried on and set aside, featuring plenty of satin and lace. There is a sizable collection of makeup on the vanity, as well as hairbrushes, ribbons, and clips.

Amidst draping red tapestries twined with fairy lights is nestled a California King bed with red silk sheets and a feather duvet, heaped with pillows. There is a walk-in closet filled to bursting with shoes and clothing that defy pinpointing any one gender. There is as much leather as there is silk and velvet. On a long chest of drawers, there is a drop cloth of red velvet upon which rests a deck of tarot cards, a bag of runes, I Ching coins, and other tools of divination mixed in with idols carved of semi-precious stones, an ashtray, cigarettes, and an impressive collection of bongs. Heady incense drifts on the air from a brass brazier.

Despite its obvious opulence, no matter how often the occupant of this room tidies up, there's always clothing on the floor and clutter here and there. In one corner, partitioned off by a curtain, is a hookah with four pipes surrounded by comfy floor cushions. On a nearby shelf is a selection of fine tobaccos and a few bottles of whiskey, vodka, and tequila as well as a few fine wines.

The bathroom is expansive and luxurious. There's a bidet, and the bathtub is deep and has jets. The shower is separate, with a monsoon head and a bench built into the wall. There is a heated bin for warm towels, and of course a scattering of knickknacks and another ashtray.

|lyrics=One pill makes you larger,

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you,

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits,

And you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

And call Alice, when she was just small

|lyrics=Your lights are on, but you're not home

Your mind is not your own

Your heart sweats, your body shakes

Another kiss is what it takes

Take me every night

Take me when you're feeling low

Take me when you want to stay

Up all night

|lyrics=I take one, one, one 'cause you left me

And two, two, two for my family 

And three, three, three for my heartache 

And four, four, four for my headaches 

And five, five, five for my lonely 

And six, six, six for my sorrow 

And seven, seven for no tomorrow 

And eight eight I forget what eight was for 

And nine nine nine for a lost God 

And ten, ten, ten, ten for everything,

Everything, everything, everything

|song=Lie Still Little Bottle - TMBG
|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPOAQ5Gp2os
|lyrics=Lie still, little bottle

And shake my shaky hand

Black coffee's not enough for me

I need a better friend

One pill at the bottom is

Singing my favorite song

I know I must investigate

I hope that I can sing along
