[b]Name:[/b] Kelly "Bones" DeForest

[b]Race:[/b] Human 

[b]Physical Description:[/b] 
DeForest looks like a man in his 60s with deep wrinkles on his face that tell of years of deep contemplation. He has white long scruffy hair that is generally unkempt. His eyes are blue but they seem to have lost their luster over the years. The hair on his face is thick and lush and is generally styled in a goatee but he also lets it grow into a full beard. Every time he is working or "on duty" he wears his blue doctor uniform which is always clean but seems to be quite worn throughout the years. DeForest wears white sneakers-type shoes with high arch support. On his left arm, he has a wearable computer, known as the Medical Assistance Unit or "MedA", that he uses to quickly diagnose and help treat patients.

[b]Role Description[/b] 
DeForest is the crew's venerable space physician. He was trained in the famed Interstellar Alliance Medical Academy on planet Fargon. The Academy was set up thousands of years ago as the first medical training institution when human alliances began developing partnerships with alien alliances. Here is where DeForest trained in nanomedicine, regenerative treatments, and cybernetic enhancements, among other medical advancements. The Academy also helped practitioners train in some known alien physiology so that they might be able to at the very least provide them first aid. 

In his early thirties, he became part of the Interstellar Alliance's Advanced Medical Research Centre (IAAMRC). He became recognized in the scientific community for continually pushing the bounds of medical technology. However, he was stripped of his position and disbarred from practicing medicine when one of his experiments upset the higher-ups of the Interstellar Alliance. DeForest has not told the reason why he has been removed from his position to any of his crewmates.  

He met Kalrith Soreden on Solaris XIII, a sparsely inhabited trading planet. Soreden came to a bar where DeForest was drinking all his free time away. Soreden was sweaty and was clearly in distress. After nonchalantly using his MedA he quickly diagnosed that Soreden has internal organ damage. DeForest offered medical assistance to the man also known as "the Devil". After that, he made a deal with the devil and became his second crew member.
