Personality:Role:Ship’s Surgeon
How Arthur got into the Navy: A King’s letter Boy Arthur entered the service of the crown at 12 years of age handed over by his aging grandfather a former Ship’s Master and Knight of the Bath his only support forced to part with the lad as his health fell.
Experience with the navy: Doctor Bright began his career as many such a young man of letters aspiring to become a ships officer learning the trade of sail till at age 14 he was found to have a knack as a Loblolly Boy and was given as an Apprentice to the Ships Surgeon.
At age 17 Arthur’s time before the mast saw a two year hiatus while he attended college at Oxford using a portion of his Inheritance and a letter from the Navy Board Barber-Surgeons' Company and Admiralty’s blessing. Advanced in his studies compared to the other’s attending school Arthur was quick to graduate at 19 after which he returned to the Mast prepared to continue his service.
Assigned as a Junior Surgeon aboard a First Rate He was quickly advanced to Chief Surgeon at only 20 when his former mentor died after he had a leg carried away in a fierce exchange of cannon fire off Haiti.
Recently assigned to HMS Courageux (3rd Rate 74) his tenure was cut short by the new Captain’s preference for a surgeon with as he put it “A face of weathered Experience and not of a young Choirboy”
Beached he was able to find a berth aboard the HMS Plymouth through a friend at the Board Barber-Surgeons so
Fresh off the Dock he begins this as his first voyage aboard the Plymouth.
Skills:Surgeon, Apothecary, Navigation, and Fencing
Shortcomings:Arthur’s greatest Shortcoming is his Baby face which means many have doubts of his skills and some jealous of his attraction of women. (Either women the other officer had their eye on or a relative such as sisters and worst daughters)
He also carries the mark of helping support the Spithead Mutiny Sailors only protected by his title and the fact he was only active as a Doctor seeing to the health of the men who were on strike. (As a doctor he agreed with their plea for more sanitary conditions along with more palatable rations.
Tools/Weapons: Tool Sample Doctor’s Kit Link
1 Prussian Fencing Saber
Extra: 4 uniform
2 Boots
43 Books cluttering his bunk and spaces many on medicine and others of science, 7 poetry

Oh and not sure if it is a short coming or asset but Arthur has a beautiful singing voice
Oh and anyone who checks on Doc Bright's rep will hear he's a fast amputation expert and many men are alive because he cares about those under his charge and is an able bodied seaman's friend his patients surviving more often than not.
