Whoops, I didn't even see this thread here. Sorry if I am stepping on anyone's toes by taking the doc, but you SNOOZE, you LOSE, suckers.

Name: Veronica Bast

Physical description: 5'2, shoulder-length dark hair, and olive skin. Slender body with long limbs and a relatively short torso. Thin, nimble fingers perfect for surgery.

Personality: Veronica is somewhat distant from other people. She has trouble understanding personal issues and prefers the strict medical outlook; it helps her cope. She is not brave, but feels compelled to seek out answers, no matter how they may frighten her.

History: Veronica Bast comes from a long line of prestigious surgeons. She had a passion for medicine that fit well within the family line, and pleased her parents immensely. Veronica stormed through school, university, medical, never losing interest in the field. As an attending, she found her calling in cardiothoracic surgery, the delicacies of the physical heart became particularly close to her own.

She had friends during these trials, as well as lovers, but none became more important than her work until one rapscallion came along.

Tom Bronston was bad news. He was extensively involved in the drug network and was shot in the chest multiple times because of a conflict with the cops. Veronica extracted the bullets from his chest and patched a graze along the side of his heart. He got off due to some baloney stipulations about the investigation, and Veronica found herself seeking his company.

They became secret lovers. She was crazy for him, and hey, she could fix him up if he got shot again. Long story short, Tom wound up in the prison facilities at Comorant Island.

Veronica abandoned her post as top surgeon at her London hospital and accepted the position of prison physician at Comorant Island. The administration of the prison found her decision to switch marginally suspicious, but they eventually welcomed her while her entire family disowned her.

But Veronica was happy. She could spend time with her strange new love, though still in secret. She was social and well-liked among the staff, and got along well with the prisoners who saw her, taking a firmly neutral stance on all issues.

Until Tom killed himself in his cell. It looked as if he had been trying to escape through the small bars to the outside, slamming his head against them repeatedly. The noise attracted the guards, but it was too late. The head trauma killed Tom before he could even be taken out of the cell.

From that point onward, Veronica became recluse. She rarely spent time with the other employees and always seemed distracted. She couldn't leave the position because the larger medical community had shunned her and her family rejected her. And something about the place kept her there by her own will, no matter how creeped out it made her feel.

I'm off to class in just a few moments. Socialize and continue freaking out, peoples.

I like the idea of a running inventory. I'm going to keep updating my character sheet as Sylus gathers more stuff.

Pixie · « **Reply #84 on:** May 13, 2009, 10:00:53 AM »

I think that's a really good idea- I was going to have my own file to keep track of things like items and weapons, but a public one would deeeefinitely cut down on confusion, especially if people are keeping their own.

Back in an hour and a half to two hours.

As always, new players can feel free to jump right in and start playing.

I already have my next character in mind if Sylus get paroled.

With fire.

Pixie · « **Reply #88 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:45:09 AM »

Damn. Didn't get the bear traps ready in time.

Pixie · « **Reply #90 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:52:12 AM »

The advantage of short classes.

They're never ready for you when you get out.

staticHD3 · « **Reply #91 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:57:54 AM »

Well... what should I do with a gross of bear traps now...

I wonder when my roommate gets home from class...

Damn you, Coon. I can't do shit about your heart attack if you are AFK. ZOMG.

Pixie · « **Reply #96 on:** May 13, 2009, 03:47:15 PM »

On the other hand, if he's AFK, he's safe from all the shit that's about to happen that'll make it WORSE.
