Career

Marine Medical Officer/ Team Medical Officer
You are one of the team Marine Medical Officers, able to provide life-saving first aid and even emergency battlefield surgery if needed. Your squad tends to have your back because they know they’ll need you to patch them up when the shit starts flying.

Personality / History

"There are a million and one ways to die in space," Russ states smiling. "From exposure to vacuum or strange contagions to hostile organisms or getting accidentally shot by a drunken fool. In all these scenarios, I am the one carrying the Surgical Kit and Naproleve," declares Russ holding up his Surgical pack. "When someone suffers trauma, it's the first few minutes that matter most. If someone survives long enough to make it to a med-pod, I have done my job." Russ says with a grin.

Russ used to be altruistic about Frontier medicine. Russ has witnessed enough to become worn out. Too many people in the Outer Veil are addicted to drugs. Most colonies are not up to health and safety regulations. That means more people get hurt. Russ's work is never done.

Corporate sends someone like Russ to take care of you, but that's okay. He'll be ready. Russ likes everything to be clean and to have every element of his life tidy and in order. He does not repetitively and obsessively sterilize things, but Russ also can get upset when something is out of order because order equals safety, hence security and safety. Russ reacts to people who make messes and move things around for no reason. Russ hates dealing with Rats, he knows that they carry disease. Russ thinks of them as dirty animals. Will kill them if he has the chance. Russ once helped cover up a war crime must ever know.

Talent

Talent: FIELD SURGEON: You know the delicate
art of stopping a wound from bleeding or treating grave injuries. You get a +2 modification to MEDICAL AID when treating someone who is about to die from a critical injury (see page 99).

Jack of All Trades is competently skilled at a lot of different types of work. Knows how to do a little bit of everything, but it sometimes comes at the cost of never having the time to master one particular skill. Imagine you’re a multi-tool, like a Swiss Army knife, as opposed to being just a screwdriver. A multi-tool can get the job done, but a good screwdriver does it better. +2 when assisting someone else or + 1 when the person uses any untrained skill this is not cumulative.

WATCHFUL: The hairs on the back of your neck stand up when enemies lurk nearby. You get a +2 modification to OBSERVATION when trying to spot a sneak attack.

Field Event: Age didn’t play a part—everyone came to you during the hard times of the campaign. You were a brother, a father, and a confidante. Gain +1 EMPATHY.

They call you “Watchful Six,” and you always know when there is someone on your tail, it even works in the air or ground. Gain the Watchful talent.
