Years in the military performing medicine in the middle of a war zone taught her that (as well as very steady hands) When she's with a patient she focuses completely on the task at hand ignoring everything else unless it affects her patient. She will do whatever it takes to save the patient and is skilled at improvising with what's available in a situation. When not being Doctor she is still a pretty serious person and has a very dry, somewhat morbid, sense of humour. She'll often make a comment, that's meant as sarcasm, with a straight face and often people struggle to tell when she is being serious or when she is joking. She doesn't do this on purpose, it's just how she is. She also very direct, or blunt as some call it, and will always be straight with you. She doesn't believe in beating round the bush or dancing round a topic. [b][i]Background[/i][/b] Octavia was born in England to parents Natalie Baker, an Englishwoman, and Jung Seo Jun,a Korean living in England. She had a pretty standard childhood with no major upheavals and she and her parents were close especially since she was an only child. She decided early in her life that she wanted to work in medicine and her determination to succeed in this only grew as she got older. Her parents were supportive of her but were concerned about the cost and were worried her daughter would be in lots of debt due to her studies. Octavia solved this when at 16 she joined the Royal army. It seemed to her to provide the best chance to help people and see the world and it wasn't long before she knew she had found her place. She achieved her medical degree and various diploma's in other medical subjects (Physiology, anatomy) in the medical corps and served for ten years reaching the rank of Captain. During her service She was sent to some of the most violent areas of the world working as a trauma medic or surgeon in various army camps and bases. She left the Army at 27 as she had met and fell in love with a Canadian man (Eddie Warner) and wanted to be with him. She moved to Canada and took a job as a surgeon in the town's local hospital. But things had begun to deteriorate by then and she was only employed there for a year before the hospital closed due to resource shortages. Things in the town were pretty bad by then anyway and she and her partner Eddie decided to leave, they planned to find an area more remote and with a better chance at safety. Unfortunately Octavia was forced to change her plan when she and Eddie were caught in a fight between two rival gangs, they had been just passing through when the fight broke out and Eddie was caught in the crossfire. He died in Octavia's arms on the side of the road a few miles from where it had happened. Octavia had tried everything she could to save him but the bullet had severed an artery and he bled out too quickly. Devastated but knowing that Eddie wouldn't want her to give up she buried him as best she could and then continued driving looking for somewhere to start again. She ended up in one of the small towns at the base of the mountains and set up in a house, a big roomy place, someone had abandoned. Knowing she needed to keep busy she set up a clinic in the front portion of the house and it wasn't long before she became 'Doc' for the town as well as many of the surrounding towns. Not long after arriving one of the townsfolk brought her a strange Orb like thing that he had found whilst scavenging. He offered it as payment for her helping his wife with a broken arm and she hadn't had the heart to refuse. But what he thought she could do with it was beyond her. She was a doctor not an engineer. But with nothing else to do she played around with it not expecting anything to come of it. Two days ago "it" woke up and she met O.R.B. She is currently adjusting to and getting to know the AI. (This would be two days before first IC post) [b][i]Other[/i][/b] Octavia changed her last name to Young after moving to Canada as most thought that was her surname anyway due to mispronouncing it Octavia has two German Shepherds called "Artemis" and "Apollo" which she found abandoned shortly after arriving in the town she now lives in. They are 18 months old and brother and sister.[/center][/hider]
