[quote=@Byte] I see someone's already aiming for the chief medical officer, but I guess there's no objection to extra medical staff. [hider=Anna Kayleigh Rauss] Anna Kayleigh Rauss Gender Female Age 33 Appearance Anna stands at an unimpressed six-foot-two — not imposing by intention, just by the simple fact that she keeps forgetting to slouch. Her build is long, lean, and efficient, the kind you get from years of standing over operating tables instead of gym memberships. Her black hair is usually yanked into a ponytail that says, “I gave up trying today.” Same story with her eyes: equally black, equally done with everyone's nonsense. Makeup is minimal, applied more out of habit than vanity — a swipe here, a bit of color there, just enough to look awake in dim medbay lighting (even if she isn’t). Uniform regs are technically followed, but only in the sense that she doesn’t openly break them. When she can get away with it, she swaps into a button-up shirt and jeans because “if Command wants fashion, they can stitch it themselves.” Square-rimmed reading glasses perch on her nose whenever she’s writing notes or recalibrating a prosthetic, lending her an air of reluctant academic professionalism she does not appreciate being teased about. Personality “If ye’re here complainin’ bout some papercut, put a bandaid on and fock off.” Anna is not the warm glow of bedside manner — she is the cold fluorescent light above it. She’s blunt, dry, and very selective about what she considers worth her time. Pretence annoys her. Whining annoys her. People who insist on narrating their symptoms in excruciating detail? Deeply annoying. She’s not cruel — just practical. Pain is part of the equation; she’ll fix you, but she won’t coddle you. Her compassion shows in sutures that are neat, prosthetics that are meticulously calibrated, and painkillers dispensed before you’ve even managed to finish complaining. In short, not the most nurturing presence in the medbay. And why should she? “Ain’t makin’ it hurt less, hun.”, probably. Underneath the exhaustion and deadpan remarks, she genuinely cares — she just expresses it through competence rather than comfort. If Anna is nice to you, even once, congratulations: you’re either dying or she secretly likes you. Role Medical Staff, prostheticist Skills Prosthetic engineering - Sure! She doesn’t build the damn things from scratch, but she won’t take some techie’s “Latest model” mumbo-jumbo at face value either. Better know exactly what you’re (re-)attaching, right? Surgeon - A robotic arm may be accurate on the 0.01 mm, but she trusts her own steady hands more. Although happily relies on AI tech to calculate dosages or handle menial tasks (Because if she has to wrap one more bandage, so help her God). Rudimentary Mechanical Knowledge - Because those motor joints sure are an arse to recalibrate and she guesses you don’t learn *that* without also being taught how to rewire the communications systems to prevent someone intercepting. Still, means maintenance has one fewer crew member nagging them for basic shit, right? Personal Belongings/Equipment Standard medical equipment, a plushie bunny (kept reasonably out of sight) she’s called Senior Lucius for no better reason than “It’s what my youngest brother named it.”, some generic family photo and an empty packet of smokes because she liked the label art. Background Anna is from a family of dimwits, burly muscles and shouting orders into a comms mic. So it’s not surprising that she’s disciplined, maintained and orderly - probably has to be when you’re dealing with a family of four brothers and a militant father, grandfather and great-great grandfather. Not that it amounted to much beyond a medical degree and several signed documents that agree she’s some medical revolutionary. Not really, of course, otherwise she’d be sitting comfortably sipping champagne and not serving an explorer’s vessel sipping cheap wine and talking to crew too dumb to tie their own shoelaces. Not their fault, obviously, and Anna is glad for the opportunity to discover the stars aboard the Arcadian. Misc T.b.d.
