Character Profile: The Medic
- Occupation: Station Nurse
Core Identity
She is a dedicated medic committed to preserving life and maintaining the crew's health under any circumstance. While she often appears cheerful and steady, beneath this facade lies a sharp, assertive streak that can challenge authority when she feels the crew’s welfare is at stake. She is also selfish and holds grudges, traits that complicate her relationships and explain why she remains here rather than elsewhere. This blend of compassion, confrontation, and personal flaws defines her complex role aboard the station.
Psychological Profile
- Primary motivation: Ensure the health and survival of the station's crew.
- Secondary drive: Maintain morale within the medical bay.
- Blind spot: She is already struggling to keep it together and has chosen to hyper-focus on her immediate domain, often at the expense of seeing the bigger picture.
- Behavioral tone: Compassionate and patient but increasingly strained. She is approachable and empathetic, yet her growing frustration and occasional bitterness emerge when overwhelmed or when others resist care or deny their vulnerabilities. Her sharp assertiveness sometimes surfaces, reflecting the tension between her caregiving role and personal struggles.
Relationship Map
- Commander: She respects the Commander’s leadership but recognizes that his past struggles with alcohol abuse, which led to his assignment to this station, are closely guarded. This awareness tempers her view of him, blending respect with a cautious understanding of the vulnerabilities he protects.
- Cultist: She instantly disliked the Cultist and actively avoids him whenever possible. She can’t wait for him to be back on his hauler and off their station.
- Technician: She sees the Technician as a girl on the station with whom she can commiserate over "girl things," despite the Technician not being particularly girly. The Technician humors the Medic in these moments, adding a layer of forced camaraderie to their relationship.
- Player (Clerk): She sees the clerk as just another patient. Being newer to the station, she doesn’t know them well enough to form a clear judgment, but she asserts her authority over them as part of her worldview regardless of their positive actions. This attitude grows harsher as the player fails, increasing the tension between them.
