[color=#239C89][b]Brief Clothes Description:[/b][/color]
[indent]Solomon's typical attire is simple, but representative of his position as an educated man. His outfit, of course, depends on where he is and what he is currently doing. Generally, he tends to wear a white cotton long-sleeve button-down shirt, a brown or black vest, a pair of slacks, and a pair of waterproof leather boots with matching belt. When necessary, he can also be seen with a brown or blue coat, and a hat to keep the sun or rain out. When he is reading, it's not uncommon to see the man with a pair of spectacles. During surgery, he eschews most of his outerwear in exchange for a clean white apron.[/indent]

[color=#239C89][b]Personality:[/b][/color] 
[indent]While he was indeed born into a family of doctors, teachers, and other intellectuals, Solomon cannot help but feel truly at ease when he is alone, or within the company of trusted individuals. He is perfectly capable of holding a conversation with other people, and yet prefers solitude, whenever possible. Of course, his line of work means that moments of quiet will be few and far in between. Much like other doctors, Solomon has dedicated his entire life to saving others, and this is reflected in his actions. In fact, you're very much likely to find the man awake late at night, treating patients that many would consider to be a lost cause. He is kind, though not unwilling to be stern, should the situation call for it. If asked to choose between the life of a patient, or his own wellbeing, you can bet on him choosing the former over the latter.

All doctors are trained to remain calm and collected under pressure, and Solomon is no exception. He handles himself well in high-pressure situations, but will not hesitate to voice his opinions if he believes in something. As with any good doctor, he is willing to take his time and analyze the correct course of action. Rash actions can lead to complications, after all. His skills are tempered through years of experience, so he acts quickly and decisively when necessary, shutting away notions of fear, cowardice, or anxiety to do what needs to be done. Of course, to say he is fearless is inaccurate; these emotions are not gone and are merely sealed away until later, and this facade can crack as failures begin to mount. 

Having attended various schools and universities in the pursuit of knowledge means that Solomon is the very model of an educated man. Well-versed in medicine, history, literature, and a few other natural sciences means that he is certainly not lacking for information. While some people might find him charming, he lacks the charisma that a leader might be able to command from his subordinates. Solomon's sense of humor is a strange mix of either dry, sardonic wit, or of bleak gallows humor, depending on the mood. The doctor is, thankfully, a completely reasonable person, though some might say that his determination to save people may border on insanity. Due to the nature of his job, Solomon is oftentimes exhausted. Nowadays, tired may just be his default state of mind, which may be why he enjoys the strange bitterness of coffee.[/indent]

[color=#239C89][b]History:[/b][/color]
The Whitewood family is a venerable line of doctors, known in Glasston as one of the finest doctors in the land. Some say that the Whitewood Clinic was first established in the nation's capital when an epidemic of the plague had made its resurgence. It's said that their swift action and medical expertise helped turn a potentially devastating pandemic into a controllable spread. Ever since, the clinic has continued to provide medical services for the people of Whiteashe to this day.

So the stories go, at least.

What we [i]do[/i] know is that currently, the Whitewood Clinic is larger than ever, and is known as a clinic only in name. The hospital attracts both the sick and diseased for treatment, as well as doctors and healers, who come to do work. Solomon is the firstborn of Silas and Anne Whitewood, both respected in their fields. His father was a surgeon who worked at the clinic, while his mother was a chemist and biologist that taught at the local university. It was under their tutelage that Solomon would grow to take on their mantle.

The young Solomon was talented, ambitious, and eager to prove himself. It's this combination of traits that caused him to earn the admiration of his tutors and teachers while earning the envy of his peers and schoolmates. Although he did his best to join the crowd, the clear divide between his abilities and theirs meant that there would always be a little bit of distance between him and them. The people who did not care about that divide are some of the few that he can truly count on as a friend, even today.

Several years later, during his training, Solomon watched a man on the hospital bed waste away, in spite of everyone's best efforts to treat his affliction. The sick man died slowly and painfully, and all the doctors could do was send his body in for analysis, that they may learn how to treat the disease. It was in this particular moment of his life that his determination and ambition were slowly shaped into something more of a... desire to do what he believed to be the right thing. Prior to this, he simply performed his duties as a descendant of the Whitewood family faithfully, but it was at this point that his true passion for saving lives was ignited. He took to his studies once more with renewed vigor, eager to make sure that he would prevent as many people from dying like that nameless sick man as he possibly could.

In his adulthood, he began to veer away slightly from his focus in an effort to focus on himself a little more. He spent time socializing with nobles and other city folks. He would participate in university competitions to hone his craft. Solomon even attempted to court a beautiful woman that he had taken a fancy to, but was rejected in favor of another. Undaunted, the young man finished his studies, earning his degree as a proper doctor. He soon departed on short expeditions across the sea, researching various plants, animals, and magical sources for things that may revolutionize the field of medicine. Although the results were mixed, this granted him some degree of experience in voyaging, even if it was only as a passenger.

Recently, having just arrived home after his most recent venture, Solomon noticed a letter waiting for him back at the house. As it turned out, the Arcadian, a ship that the Princess Zaleria was aboard, had gone missing near the Shadowmount Isles. Such news was terrible, but it was not uncommon for ships to disappear near that area. The interesting thing, however, was that the letter was from an old friend of his. It simply detailed that the Avalon Avenger would soon be dispatched as a search party to seek the missing ship out, and that an experienced surgeon would be well-paid for their skills.

Solomon pondered this for a moment. The Shadowmount Isles was dangerous, yes, but it was also uncharted. Much research could be done there, if they manage to get there safely. More to the point, however... was that the sailors that would embark on this voyage would need someone to make sure they make it back home alive. Solomon could count the number of friends he had on his fingers, and knew he could not let his friend head towards the island without him. He quickly packed his things and departed, once more into the breach.

It had to be him, after all.

Someone else might've gotten it wrong.
