Name:Leonard CalinbrusTheme: Leonard's themeAge: 19Gender: MaleNation of Origin: DoniaethPersona: Leo is a rather uninteresting person, or at least plays himself off as that, he will rarely smile, and even when he does it's hard to tell because he has his face-guard on most of the time. The only time he really shows happiness is when he's pulled off an operation, surgery, or when Beau brings in a good catch from the wild. He can be a bit insistent on helping people recover after being injured, almost to the point of being annoying, but he does it with good intentions at least. He's cautious almost to the point of paranoia, having a metal faceguard that extends around his neck and the point connecting his shoulder blade to his neck, mostly out of fear of hemoplague. He had a relatively poor upbringing, being the son of a back-alley doctor and a working mother, he lived in the slums of Doniaeth for the first 13 years of his life, learning by observing his father work and pouring over medical documents and diagrams, enamored with the medicinal practice. His life took a turn for the worst when his father was struck by illness and died unceremoniously, leaving his mother to care for young Leonard alone. She too, was stricken by disease, and passed in turn. Leonard, left alone, refused to go to an orphanage, and stood atop a bridge one night to take the plunge to meet his parents. That, was when he met Beau. Something about the malfunctioning mass of metal sitting beside him on the bridge, abandoned by some inventor who didn't think it worthy of use. Leonard grew attached to the thing, and together they lived travelling and working where they could, Leonard eventually became the apprentice of a legitimate doctor and mastered his practice. The happiest day of his life was when he made enough money to fashion repairs from a professional mechanic for his companion. Now Leonard has decided to venture out into the wild, because after all, becoming an acclaimed field surgeon might help him eek out a living somewhere. Equipment:"Lucky"
Nothing special, just a pump-action 20 Gauge shotgun that Leo recieved as payment for re-attaching a client's legs a few years back. He's fairly handy with it, but he is very sparing with his ammunition, and prefers to let Beau take care of anything unsavory they come across."Coil Grenades"
Specialized grenades that Leo makes for himself, mostly for protection and to stave off boredom. They have the standard explosive charges, but they pack something "extra" in that they also contain bundles of Tungsten wires that when detonated spread outwards and cut into anything unarmored the fibers launch into."That knife that I keep forgetting is in my pocket"
Standard Butterfly Knife he also received as payment from a patient. Nothing too special, he only really keeps it around in case of emergencies, and to occupy himself with while he's bored."What the Doctor Ordered"
Leonard's bag that he has with him at all times, a small brown satchel filled with an assortment of syringes, herbal compounds for anesthetics and remedies, scalpels, and a bonesaw. He keeps most of his medical supplies on Beau because he can't really find the space for all of it, and takes only what he feels he'll need to operate.Ability/Magic/Technology:"Beau"
Beau is one of the few things Leonard cares about beside his patients, to the point where he treats the thing almost like an actual dog. A 7ft. long dog with the tensile jaw strength to crush a man in full plate-mail, but still his wittle puppy. Beau's back can open up and form itself into a flat-bed surface, which Leo uses for various purposes, such as operating, sleeping, operating, eating on, operating...and Leo likes riding on his back, though he does have to leave Beau outside of most buildings, considering he's too big to fit in most doors. "Don't worry, I have a license!"
Leonard is an extremely skilled medical practitioner with skills ranging from surgery, medicine making, physical assessment, and many more.Additional Info: Beau has fairly rudimentary AI, though it does seem far more inclined to be by Leo's side to the point of it patiently sitting outside of places Leo goes into.
"*Bark bark!*"
A deep, metallic voice echoed from within the maw of the beast of metal sitting beside the sleeping young man atop a pile of hay, oddly sleeping with some sort of guard over his face. He rose slowly, stretching for a moment and giving a muffled yawn as he stood up, the machine following in turn. The man turned to the beast with tired eyes, but beneath his faceguard he was giving a light smile as he raised his hand to gently pat the machine's head, causing it to sit down on its hind legs. "Good boy, wait here, we'll be out of here soon enough...Just gotta go collect."
He strode out of the barn and walked toward the small house resting nearby, luckily for him the man he was looking for had already risen, and was hard at work. Approaching the man quietly, he moved his knife from his back pocket to his front, mostly a paranoid precaution, but he wasn't taking any chances. The man at work turned to see the young man with silver hair and gave him a friendly wave to come over, he seemed ecstatic for reasons obvious to both.
"I can't thank you enough for treating my boy's gangrene...thought he was a goner. If I would have known praying for a doctor woulda made one show up outta nowhere, I'd have packed up and moved to Kaien." He said with a chuckle, it was rather odd to find a wandering doctor in the poorer, rural areas of Doniaeth, though it wasn't uncommon for people to die of injury and disease. The young man nodded his head.
"It's no trouble sir, he should be fit to return to work in 2 months, just keep him to his bed and give him the medicine regularly, the amount I've given you should suffice if used sparingly. And...er...about the....paym-"
The farmer placed his hand on the young man's shoulder, with a delighted expression on his face, interrupting him with:
"You've done good for us, we don't have much, but we can give you food to last a while. You said you were gonna keep travelling right? Think that scrapper of yours can carry a month's worth?"
The young man was taken aback by this, it seemed he wouldn't need the knife at all.
"Beau can handle that much, thank you for your generosity. If it's alright...could I help to pack it? I need to get going before midday."
"No problem, no problem at all. Thanks again Dr. Calinbrus, my boy won't forget this, and neither will we."
The young man chuckled slightly before removing his face guard and giving a smile to the man.
"Please, call me Leonard."
