Approved Character [Tripathi's Tyrants] Doctor Ry'Vesh 'Profundity' New Tur'lista

Whisper

Retired Staff
PROFUNDITY is a player character played by WHISPER.

Species & Gender: Lorathian Male
Year of Birth: 21 Pre-YE
Organization: Nepleslian Space Marine Corps
Occupation: Medic
Rank: Private
Preferred Plot:
Tripathi's Tyrants

Physical Description
Of middling height for a New Tur'listan Lorath, Profundity stands at five and a half feet tall. His build is somewhat lop-sided, with his cybernetic arm clearly being made for someone a bit more muscular than he is. (He's working on it.)

His hair is black with streaks of gray from age, with amber eyes. His skin is pale, the sort of white-gray that appreciates full body suits when he's in full sun.

All in all, he would be a fairly unremarkable New Tur'listan if not for the cybernetic arm and eye. Both approximate how he normally looks, but he chose function over form when the decision came around. Up close, most of the right side of his body shows signs of scarring that couldn't quite be healed. The feathers on his right-side wing are somewhat shorter than the left.

Personality
A touch over sixty years of age by most standards, he's seen a lot in his lifetime. With the New Tur'listan's penchant for recall, that gives him a wide range of information and experience to draw from … or dwell on.

His passion to do well and his desire to help others are as strong as ever, but he's a little more…rough around the edges now. To put it another way, his bedside manner sucks. He would have been a poor fit to go back to civilian service after all that happened, but his gruff, no-nonsense manner fits in surprisingly well among the rough-and-tumble of the Space Marines.

Profundity has taken a particular interest in the military's advanced medical technologies, including drones, nano gels, chemical compounds, and so forth. Between researching those and pouring over the biological data from a dozen and more species, the Doctor stays pretty busy in his 'free' time. The one thing he doesn't want to do is be left to his own thoughts.

These days, he seeks to make the soldiers he's responsible for operate at peak condition ... or beyond it, depending on how they feel about stimulants.

History
PROFUNDITY was born in 21 Pre-YE in the city of I'MNOTSURE.

Like many New Tur'listans, Profundity trained from a young age to hone his mind, develop his talents, and seek knowledge. Where others of his caste used their empathy to build bridges or their mental gifts to develop technology, Profundity found his calling in bringing the two strengths together - in medicine. It was in this way that he gained his name, “Profundity”, for the level of care he put into his patients feelings and the great knowledge he possessed of how the body works - and he how to fix it.

He pursued his passion with zeal up to and during his time with the Lorathian Self Defense Force. Profundity was not inherently a violent man, however, and once his five years were up he returned to civil service. There, he began a family and became the Chief Surgeon of a local ICU. Things were idyllic, if challenging. His job had high demands, as expected, and raising children is no easy feat. He would change none of it.

The universe, however, had other plans. The Exodus, that tumultuous time when the Lorathian peoples were split, saw his family and many other Occhestians making a move to leave the system - and its rule - behind. It would not be a peaceful trip, and ultimately it would be loyalist Occhestians who would unravel the life he had worked so hard to build. An explosion claimed his family and much of the right-side of his body.

Bereft of family, purpose, and the hale body that he needed to perform his job, Profundity spent a number of weeks as little more than a refugee. It was a Nepleslian recruiter who would turn his life around and remind him of his calling - “You may not have been able to save your family, but there's plenty of others who still need you. What good are you to them laying in a ditch?”

His journey through the refresher training, as well as the 'upgrade' that restored the parts of his body he'd lost, brought him back to the world of the living.

Social Connections
PROFUNDITY is connected to:
  • Ne'Varri (Wife, Deceased)
  • Ja'Tar (Son, Deceased)
  • Ry'Voo (Son, Deceased)
  • Kia'Kki (Daughter, Deceased)
Skills Learned
Optional section. PROFUNDITY has the following notable skills (in addition to the basic notes):
  • Knowledge (History, law, reference, memory); Profundity, in particular, has a deep understanding of biology. Starting with the building blocks, chemical features, organic compounds, and so on, all the way up to gross motor functions and the like. His understanding of these fields is largely limited to their medical applications, but he can make inferences based on what he knows. He's unlikely to whip up a chemical bomb or devise new technology, but he could figure out the details behind a vaccine, anti-venom, etc, based on what he knows.
  • Technology Operations(Computers and networking, nodal system); Profundity has further specialized into cybernetics, neural interfaces, and drone operations. Basic understanding of power armor function and construction, primarily to assist in medic duties.
  • Communications (proficiency in communication; writing and speaking, Includes cryptography); The usual skills as well as New Tur'listan base psionics (ranged empathy, etc)
  • Fighting (Martial arts, power armor, hand-to-hand combat, weapons): Profundity's medical knowledge plays into his fighting style somewhat. All Nepleslian marines are trained in vital points, etc, but there's a difference between disabling someone and killing them. Additionally, he was previously in the Lorathian Space Defense Force - though that was quite a while back.
  • Strategy (Tactics/discipline)
  • Medical and Science (Surgery, pathology, medicine, cybernetics installation): Well versed in all major medical areas, with a particular emphasis on crisis/intensive care. Cybernetics is largely a recent pick-up, though Profundity has had plenty of exposure to patients who had cybernetics equipped.
  • Biology (Includes genetics, xenobiology, zoology, etc.): Beyond the knowledge required to be capable in the field of medicine, Profundity has learned the the fundamentals and sciences that underlie his field of work. More recently, he's become interested in man-machine interfaces and their finer workings, as well as in the physiologies of non-Lorathians.
Inventory & Finance
PROFUNDITY has the following:
  • Cybernetics: Eye(Right) - Can zoom, create overlays, etc. Typically disabled when wearing a helmet to avoid clashes between the two HUDs.
  • Arm(Right) - Equipped with a handful of hidden tools, such as scalpels, etc. Each finger can also be split in two, providing finer manipulation options at the cost of reduced strength. Although the color of the arm matches Profundity's skin, the various seams required for its extra features makes it clear that the arm is not his original.

  • Nepleslian Standard Issue Equipment
  • Lorathian-issue "Hostile" Combat Armorsuit
  • Nepleslian Medical Kit
  • NAM NCS Hypolathe
  • Na-G1-01a Medtech MED (or Hostile equivalent)
  • Na-G2-01a Medtech/Terratech TEK (or Hostile equivalent)
  • Long Term Medical Implants (250 KS)
  • Remote Medical Drone Control Interface: (50 KS)
  • 4x Mi-Type Missile Launcher Compatible Unit (Includes propellant charge for M'Cel Launcher): (100 KS (4×25 KS))
  • “M'Cel” 40/30mm Grenade Launcher (750 KS)
PROFUNDITY currently has 4,850 KS.

Character Will
In the case I become inactive (gone for more than a month):
  • Can this character be used as an NPC by a GM or FM? YES
  • Can this character be adopted after I'm gone for a year or more? YES

My only problem is that you should link to his wiki article, and he should have Nepleslian standard equipment. There IS a variant of the Hostile that can be used by Lorath, I just haven't gotten permission to put it on the wiki for reasons.

Otherwise, I think the character mods can handle the rest of the glaring issues, but you fix those problems and he's good enough for the Tyrants.
 
I know more about how to add links and stuff now, but I can't make edits anymore. :( I can repost or whatever needs to be done to get things sorted out.
 
Only thing I can really see is it's "Lorath Self Defense Forces" not "Lorathian Space Defense Forces." Otherwise for his town, just make up a name, throw a few ' in the name somewhere and have fun with it.
