Hey, sadly I have to go to bed pretty soon otherwise I would bang out a character sheet but I am definitely interested and I'm thinking about some sort of medic based character :)


His experience as a vet has also taught him more advanced first-aid techniques than most.

Sorry, I missed that, I had a skim over the characters and thought that the veterinary slant to the character would make the first aid more basic. I'll have a think over other character outlines.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters if some of our characters have overlapping skills. Besides, if that character get's hurt, at least there will be someone else who can take over for a while.
Anyway, I'm going to get started on the OOC. Prepare your characters!

Not much biological difference to patching up an injured dog to patching up an injured human. Dogs have skin, bones, all of the same organs, maybe a bit more hair/fur, but otherwise pretty much the same. Of course, if you dig into it they're very different creatures, but medically, you just need to scale all the stuff up.

Oh, and medicine for animals, especially housepets, is suspiciously similar to human medicine. Especially antibiotics and more complicated stuff.

I was just noticing all of the similarities.

@Fizzy I'm sure it would be good to have an actual doctor around. I don't see surgery on a farm animal being so similar to that of a human.

The mechanics are remarkably similar you'd be surprised although disease can be much trickier :P

I'll have a think, I'm thinking of basing my char around someone trying to establish a working society, with government, law and so on. So that will be fun regardless!

I'm incredibly interested and I'm working on a CS. I was, myself, wondering if I should pick a character with a new skill set or just go with what I was thinking of.

Oh and I was wanting to add to the veterinary-human medicine thing.

The first guy to do a C-section worked with pigs and knew their organs well enough to take a baby out of his wife. She survived! The first ever C-section was done by a guy with no medical experience. For hundreds of years, human corpses have been off-limits (mostly due to the fear of disease and religious reasons) so animals were the bulk of practice. Animals and humans can also take a lot of the same medicine, like aspirin. A bladder in a rat looks like a human bladder, just teeny tiney. Same as the heart of a cat and human. Lungs of a horse and a human, except you could probably fit your head inside of a horse's lungs.

So, in short, it's not all that different, but there are some things that are very different of course, but a bone heals like a bone heals.

You're not exactly one to talk, honestly.

So I might have gotten a bit excited once I got into the background part. It's still WIP but I'm just making sure she's fine before putting too much more into it

Seeing as the medical field is somewhat overcrowded already I've went a different route and quite like it. Will finish the personality part tomorrow and tart it up, but any suggestions you guys have will be appreciated!

Well, poo. I guess we are on similar wave lengths. Apologies in advance but our family is going to be similar. @Fizzy

My character was raised on a farm with a big family too & the last one left on it...so, I guess they'll be bosom buddies on that respect.

I am going to alter things around a bit though. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
