^{and what are feelings without emotions?}

| HEIGHT - 5'8".
| WEIGHT - 135.
| BUILD - Very lean and lithe, with an agile fighter's build. His body is sleek and refined, with musculature that is not pronounced, but deceptive in its strength.
| HAIR - Darker brown with lighter hints of silver at the temples, and receding slightly. Pushes it back and crops it fairly short most of the time. When angered, his shift pushes white into his hair at his temples, giving him obvious streaking. Also, can be clean shaven or have facial hair, neither bothers him.
| EYES - A gold with hints of green around the pupils - glow solid gold when shifted.
| ETHNICITY - American, but his parents were English and Italian.
| ACCENT - Absolutely none, he prides himself on proper speech and pronunciation of things. If he says something, it is very obviously deliberate. Never stutters or stops halfway through a sentence to think.
| SHIFT - A very strong and powerful White Lion. Has more silver and gristle around his muzzle, denoting age. Eyes glow a very warm gold, and his size is a slight bit bigger than the average African lion. He can run very fast for short distances while shifted, and can jump to high places as well. His mane is almost always kept perfectly nice, he spends time taking care of that. Also often partially shifts more muscle onto himself, or perhaps claws or eyes if the need calls for it. Quite accomplished at partial shifting, and can do it for very long periods of time through discipline and acceptance of who he is.
| APPAREL - Generally seen in suits, prefers warm colors, or dark cold colors. Always matches and has a good sense of style. Wears expensive clothes, usually italian-made, especially his shoes. A slight hint of cologne may be around him, never anything powerful or overwhelming, and never the scent of aftershave. Favors dark trenchcoats as well, and refuses to wear pajamas that don't match. Also refuses to wear anything in general without it matching or having the proper attire.
| OTHER - Black tattoo of the text "Tu Fui, Ego Eris." on his right side, meaning "What you are, I was, what I am, you will be.", and was written on Roman gravestones.
| ACCESSORIES - Wears one of a few watches he has, and does have possession of a gun in his house, although he doesn't use it. Always carries a Microtech Hawk with him in his pocket or up his sleeve. Rarely uses it, but has crafty ways of getting it past metal detectors.

^{i'm going in for the kill, i'm doing it for a thrill}[/right]

Watching.

He is here, always. His memory processing and storing everything, hiding it beneath the hidden doors of his mind - hoarding the knowledge for later. Observing is what he does, how he learns. He saves lives by remembering exactly which milimeter of flesh to cut and which he should avoid. He takes lives by remembering exactly which way to twist the knife to avoid flesh and pierce organs.

I am not a murderer.
I am a savior.

Oh no, he's not. Malpractice is no sin, and every doctor has lost a patient they probably should have saved. That's all it was, all it ever will be. He saved lives, didn't he? By rejecting those archaic moral fallacies and constructing a new matrix for himself, he has transcended.
Become.

He has become a predator.

Certainly not one worse than his animal counterpart, he assumes. They kill to survive - he has killed for the survival of another. Only one. Only once. But something in the back of his mind remembers every second of it, the rush of power, the sweet feelings. He's saved someone, someones, and not by the skill of his scalpel, but by the quickness of his hand.

It torments him.

But he's stronger for it.

He's moved on since then, that time almost thirty years ago when he saved her. The Doctor has saved others, and perhaps even himself. However, nearly half a decade on this planet has taught him many things, and he can feel the changes in his heart and soul.

Something's coming.

Change is afoot.
The FBI is weak, inefficient at capturing these destroyers, and they grow every day, creating new horrors to unleash on the world. As a Doctor, it's his job to cool his emotions, to calm his rage, and to simply fix. But they keep being broken, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Or can he?

"How do you manage your rage?"
"I don't. It manages me."



He's at the end of his rope.




| STRENGTHS - ( purchased smell, hearing, and perception as skills from the shop. ) The Doctor has fantastic senses. He remembers the scents of almost everyone he's met, and can detect them from quite a ways away, even while completely in human form. Law can also hear very well, even heartbeats if the person is nearby him. He also has great command over his form, not fearing it in the least, and can partially shift many things for a long period of time.The Doctor is also somewhat old at 51, and although this doesn't slow him down much, he has lots of worldly experience, combined with an Eidetic Memory. He is very quick to perceive things in others, and ruthlessly exploits these weaknesses. Psychology is a hobby of his, and along with years of being a doctor, he has experience reading people.
| WEAKNESSES - Overconfidence tends to be one of his downfalls. He's always looking for different outcomes and analyzing things. One of his ever-present mottos is to know thyself - and he does. However, he can be rather overconfident in his abilities while underestimating others. Another weakness of his is his lack of emotions on some levels. He displays borderline sociopathic behavior when isolating himself from them. On one side, it is the cold face of a doctor needing to separate himself so that he can perform correctly. On another, it is a coping technique. Nevertheless, when his emotions do get the best of him, he cannot manage his rage - it manages him.
| FEARS - Losing himself, his intelligence, and his freedom. These things values over everything else, and would do anything to maintain them. He does not fear age, since he is in good shape. He does not fear death, because that is simply the unknown, and he can't do anything about it. Also needs to steel himself for a good minute before grabbing a shoe and killing spiders, even if they're not poisonous.
| HABITS - Generally has rather expensive habits, seeing as he gets paid quite well. Has a love for the finer things - always has a nice car, great wine, great food, and occasionally a nice cigar. Refuses outright to eat fast food or cheap wine. Also detests having dirty hands, and washes them quite a bit. However, if he's in a fight or has blood all over him, he's quite fine with that until things calm down and he can wash it off. However, the tiniest bit of grit underneath his nails is ruthlessly hunted down and exterminated. Also has the tendency to cite literature, even while knowing the person he's talking to won't understand the reference. Likely does it for his own amusement.
| SKILLS - Equal parts lethal and savior. Deadly with a knife in a fight, but can save someone's life with a scalpel. His immense knowledge and Eidetic Memory give him many abilities. He learned how to lock pick after seeing it done once. He taught himself how to steal a car after looking at the wiring blueprints. His classical, liberal arts education has broadened his mind and allowed him to see the benefits in learning about all walks of life.
