Name, Position, Age and Time on the Prize:

Denise Bploopcphyer, Medical Anthropologist*, approximately 1.7 eons old**, 11 months on the Prize

Species and Appearance:

Denise is a Divon, an extremely rare and highly enlightened species from a faraway galaxy. Usually composed entirely of love energy, occasionally a Divon will be called into a physical body in order to bring healing knowledge to a desperate people. Denise’s current appearance looks mostly like a human woman, except every hair on her body is slightly bioluminescent and glows a faint blue-violet in the dark.

(Some people may try to tell you that Denise is actually a regular human, and that her strange hair is a result of a bogus self-treatment with unintended and permanent side effects. Denise would like you to know that such people are obviously brainwashed by beings of darkness trying to snuff the healing light. Such people are to be loved but not listened to.)

Denise is of average height and a somewhat round build. She has a round face, usually with a full face of makeup. She has grey eyes and straight shoulder-length dirty blonde hair. She begrudgingly wears the restrictive red uniform she has been assigned, but she likes to layer lots of beads and charms over it.

Bio and Personality:

As an ancient enlightened being, Denise’s sole purpose in this human-like form is to heal and pass on her healing knowledge before she returns to her home galaxy. The primarily human I.S.S. particularly needs her help. They believe so firmly that toxic chemicals and slicing open your body is the key to healing, that you must rely on highly trained “doctors” who are truly only after an ego boost, rather than tapping into the natural health that lies within each person.

Unfortunately, Denise’s grand mission got her kicked out of the Terran Starfleet Academy’s medical program. After a couple years of searching, she was able to find a less reputable Academy four stars over that was willing to license her as a Medical Anthropologist, for the right price. Price was no obstacle, as Denise found a way to sell her miracle remedies like gangbusters around those parts. Denise soon graduated and began the next phase of her mission aboard the Prize.

Denise is almost always friendly and bubbly. Even when she is scoffing at those allopathic practitioners, she does so with a tense smile on her face. She does her best to be an example of gentle healing light in every situation.

Technically, Denise’s role on the ship is to know enough about medical history within a variety of cultures to predict the medical practices of unknown sentient species in order to provide culturally appropriate yet still effective treatments if needed. She will do this job to the best of her ability, as a necessary part of her goals. However, her true passion is educating those in the dark about homeopathy and essential photons. Of course there’s money and sales involved, but her main purpose is to help the Universe, of course.

Denise has become a master at standing firm in her position and defending her beliefs, no matter what opposition the ignorant or jealous people throw at her. Always remember: Annoyance is the first step on the road to enlightenment.

Peace and plasma.

Skills, Strengths and Weaknesses, and Tools:

Denise is a master of many forms of alternative healing, including homeopathy, cryotherapy, background gamma therapy, etc. Pretty much anything traditional doctors neglect, Denise can do. Her strengths are knowing the Truth, defending the Truth, and having a perfectly harmonious body impervious to most major diseases.*** Her weaknesses are listening to other people’s ideas and… running. Running is terrible. Denise has many tools like herbs, vials, a few manufacturing machines, and sucrose tablets. However, her most valuable tool is herself.

*A vital role to have on any starship and DEFINITELY not a legal loophole to allow the administration of unfounded alternative medicine aboard an I.S.S. ship
**Her official records say 51 years old
