I'll likely need to edit and add a fair bit once a bit more is decided about the story (such as location). But you get the idea.
Prepare yourselves for 'lending hand' puns.
Name: Arlo Mynes
Sex: Male
Birthday: September 4, 1982 (35)
Birthplace: Seattle
Nationality: American, Mediterranean descent
Occupation: ‘Free-lance’ physician
Education: Full medical degree from the University of Washington
Skill(s):
Doctor: He is a doctor, though not aligned with any official practice or hospital, his resources are limited and no pharmacy would accept a prescription from him.
Military training: While never a combatant, Arlo went through the same basic training as anyone else in the army. He’s no expert, but he knows how to work firearms and fight.
Connections: The un-official nature of Arlo’s work had put him in contact with a great deal of the city’s criminals. Their terms may not exactly by friendly, but he is useful enough that he has some unspoken protection.
Personality:
Biography:
Power(s): Anatomical Dis/Re-assembly. Arlo’s ability allows him to remove any part of his body, and re-attach it at will. While detached, he retains full control and sense of the piece of him, even able to detect where it is if moved. The control Arlo maintains is rudimentary however; detached limbs have no sight to aid navigation. While his power can also apply to most organs, removing anything vital for more than the briefest time, or at all in the case of his brain, would prove deadly.

Personality:
Bitter, or at least the facade of a man who assumes the worst from everyone. Arlo isn't happy with his lot in life, and while he makes do, he complains often and loudly. The homeless and needy know better than to visit his clinic from minor injuries; he'll often shout or at least insult them until they leave. But he does help, and charges only the criminals that can afford it.
Biography:
Arlo’s father was a military general, who behaved with his son as he did in every other aspect of life; with discipline, and decisive action. There was no abuse in the household, and his father wasn’t cold out of malice so much as habit. Inevitably, it was with his mother than Arlo bonded with, until a car accident took her from their small family when he was 12 years old. The General, dealing with his own grief sent Arlo to a military academy, where he would remain for another 5 years. He received an 8 year ‘break’ from the military to study medicine. A fully paid for degree, as long as he joined the military afterwards.
School wasn’t difficult for him, where discipline did not come to him naturally, it had become habit and he graduated rather unremarkably; with no strikes or accolades in his records. His military career passed equally as undistinguished, until the death of his father. After years of no contact and what had always been an uneasy relationship, it shouldn’t have been the crippling blow to him it was, but for whatever reason Arlo tipped. He began drinking heavily; while home and occasionally while on duty. It was one of the latter times when he assaulted a commanding officer and was promptly sent home. Dishonorably discharged.
A black stamp on his otherwise average portfolio made it nearly impossible to find work upon his return. The drinking became worse, and eventually Arlo fell in with the ‘wrong’ crowd. He did work purely for gangs in the beginning, but once sober and out of their debt he managed to put a sort of life together. While he remained in Seattle’s criminal districts, he opened a basement ‘clinic’ open to criminals and victims.
