[b]Level:[/b] 23.

[b]Ability:[/b] Aroma Veil. This ability keeps the holder and its allies clear of emotional distraction, such as Taunt and Attract, in addition to aiding concentration outside of battle and keeping his patients conscious and calm when he is operating.

[b]Moveset:[/b] Aromatherapy, Heal Pulse, Draining Kiss, Calm Mind.

[b]Nature:[/b] Calm.

[b]Personality:[/b] Siward is not entirely self-interested, but shows others a perpetual, peaceful disdain, and despite his willingness to help, the Doc has little real empathy in him. That said, Siward is a very competent sawbones, working both as a travelling and a stationary doctor depending on where he is needed most, and conducting his work patiently, diligently, and with a quiet but exquisitely keen attention to comfort that reassures his less optimistic patients more than compassionate words ever could. In fact, though his emotions seem to have worn rather thin through the years, Siward truly cares about the state of the world and desires a hopeful future- Or at least, in his absence of empathy, the ideal of one.

However, though this correctly indicates that Siward's morals are usually in good form, a conflict of priorities has long since brought him into less savoury company than most doctors appreciate. Doc Siward may care about the world, but he also cares about himself and his finances, and cares very much. For this reason he has no scruples as to who he heals, and has become a very reliable, confidential source of medical and strategic aid to major criminal entities when they pass through Medburn, and is always willing to keep quiet about dangerous secrets for a small fee- Or, for a larger one, use his medical ability for even darker reasons. Though Siward is clean, quick, and as painless as he can manage, he has in the past been recruited to perform permanent crippling or amputation procedures on captured enemies of wealthy criminal gangs.

Despite all this, though, Siward maintains the highest priority on anonymity while executing sublegal operations, knowing that a doctor with a good reputation is a great benefit to the world, and his selfishness does not completely dominate his goodwill. Sometimes the Doc will outright refuse to perform a shady job if he believes that the community stands enough to gain by his doing so. These moments, however, are very rare.

[b]History:[/b] Doc Siward was born a Spritzee in a relatively wealthy family of Fairy Pokemon outside Medburn, and as is often the case among the rich, he inherited not only a privileged level of money and education, but a sense of superiority which remains a core part of his personality. The opening of the Stargate shortly after he was gifted the Sachet which allowed him to evolve, however, was a defining occurrence in Siward's life, and may well have steered him away from an even darker path. The secluded villa which his family occupied grew separated from its closest settlement by the opening of a Mystery Dungeon, and Siward experienced firsthand the pain and devastation which the Stargate could bring forth. Before the dust had settled, however, Siward had also seen the critical role played by altruism and teamwork in reversing the damage, as Guild after Guild mounted explorative expeditions to help forge safe paths through the dungeon and rescue the stranded. This event inspired Siward to become a healer, not only as a profiteer from the skyrocketing rate of injury in all settlements near dungeons, but as one who could at least partially help individuals while he could.
The amount of profiteering he has since done, however, and his liberal use of the criminal ties that are also the inheritance of wealth, his willingness to extend his help to the gangs, mobs and mafias that thrive since the coming of the Stargate, and his lack of interest in actually closing the Stargate itself, show clearly that there is still a long, irreversible streak of selfishness deep within Doc Siward's heart.[/center][/hider]
