Just a heads up, Michelle is probably going to bring up physician-assisted death since Chiara is clearly suffering.

I'll have that post tonight when I get home.

"Well, I guess...if that's okay with you."

Serena looked around for a moment, repositioning her footing in order to get a bit more comfortable. "I don't think they'll mind, right?" She smiled for a moment, catching herself staring at Drake's large physique before quickly turning her head as a result of an incoming coughing fit.

A second or two later, Serena finally managed to clear her throat. "Excuse me," she quickly apologized, reaching within her bag to fetch one of the small bottles scattered inside. She quickly downed two pills before handing off her larger luggage to Drake. Serena then put her pill bottle away and grabbed the small paper which had her room assignment. Motioning for Drake to walk with her, Serena followed the signs to the location of her room which they eventually reached a little while later.

"Well, thank you again for helping me. I suppose I'll see you around... I mean, I'm sure we'll have a few classes together."

Michelle finished eating her breakfast, getting up to put everything away on the kitchen sink.

"Are you all done, sweetie?" her mother snuck up behind her, startling Michelle to the point where she nearly dropped the empty bowl she had on her hands.

"¡Mamá! No me asustes así..."

Her mother giggled, grabbing the bowl from Michelle before shooing her away.

"Okay, okay, I'll see you later." Michelle planted a quick kiss on her mother's forehead before heading down to her office to grab what she would need for her next home visit. She had on a simple grey blouse and a black pair of pants, and she slipped on her white coat before reaching for her stethoscope.

Another one claimed by that damn virus... Michelle thought to herself, reaching inside her medicine cabinet after unlocking it and frowning when she was reminded she only had a few doses of antiviral medication. She reached for the small container and quickly put it inside her pocket, grabbing some more additional supplies which she would put inside her brown messenger bag. After she locked the cabinet and slipped the key inside her bag, she headed towards the front door. "I'm out now, see you guys later!" Michelle called out to her parents, hearing them mumbling something in response from the adjacent room as she closed the front door behind her.

Her walk to Ms. Chiara's house was the same old routine as every other day. She waved at some residents, turned down the request of one of them for her to do an on-the-spot consultation, and kept her brisk pace to her destination which she eventually reached without any issues.

"Mr. Carnot, are you home?" she knocked lightly on the front door, waiting for a response.

Michelle Garcia

SETTLEMENT: Fireflies

AGE: 35

OCCUPATION: Doctor

APPEARANCE: Michelle is of average height and weight, standing at about 5'6 and weighing just under 135 lbs. She has dark blond hair and brown eyes, and more often than not, the expression on her face could mislead others to think she has an attitude problem when in reality, she's a more serious person than most. Hey daily clothes include muted, earthy tones such as soft greens and browns as well as light grays. She's most comfortable in leggings and a slightly over-sized sweater, but when she's working, she'll be wearing more professional clothing such as a skirt and blouse underneath her white robe. Additionally, whenever she's on duty, she'll always be seen with a stethoscope hanging around her neck.

FAMILY: Her father, Dr. Roberto Garcia, her mother, Mrs. Elena Ramona Garcia who tends to various gardens throughout the settlement and also helps with any tailor-related issues, and her uncle, Carlos Garcia, a single man who's an experienced hunter.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single

FRIENDS: Michelle maintains a healthy relationship with just about everyone in the settlement. She's friendly towards everyone and for the most part, they all return the favor. As far as having that one best friend whom she can turn to in times of need, Michelle hasn't necessarily "clicked" with anyone to that level. She'll either keep to herself or have a conversation with her mother whenever she feels the need to vent.

HOBBIES: Given her role within the settlement, Michelle spends a lot of time learning from her father, a career doctor himself. She also enjoys reading and cooking, as well as playing card games as a gamble whenever she feels she needs to take the edge off.

BIOGRAPHY: Michelle is of Spanish decent, her grandparents being born and raised in Madrid. She's lived in the settlement her whole life, a small fact which has bothered her since childhood but that she has long accepted given that her parents have also gone through the same experience. Her father, Dr. Garcia, has helped many within the settlement throughout his years there, and eventually, when Michelle was of age, he started passing down his knowledge to her the same way his father did when he too was a doctor. Since Michelle is an only child, she feels she has a big responsibility on her shoulders.

Growing up, Michelle spent many nights listening to her father tell her stories that he was told during his youth of what times were like prior to the Quakes. Her grandmother passed away roughly a decade ago and her grandfather, Dr. Garcia-Rodriguez, passed away a few years after that. Prior to their death, the elderly couple had fallen very ill, and their sickness nearly tore the family apart since despite their knowledge, they couldn't do anything to help them.

Due to the fact that Michelle has to constantly deal with the sick and the dying, she doesn't necessarily have the happy-go-lucky attitude any other woman would generally have. She's quiet and reserved, but given there's not much to do during her free time, she'll usually head down to the pub to drink and that's when her personality will shift, becoming more outgoing and talkative, a welcomed change not only for her, but for whatever company's around at the moment.

Recently, Michelle has been working on updating a few of the books that were passed down to her for medical training. She's made some additional discoveries within the field that although are not groundbreaking, do certainly certainly need to be noted. Her father is helping her with the updates so that she may better concentrate on her actual job. Michelle is also looking to settle down with someone soon so that she may finally start a family of her own.

I'll have a post up tonight after I get home from work!

No Turning Back - Surving the Abyss

@ShwiggityShwah

Sounds good. Whenever you're ready to stop by Mel's office for a consultation, let me know.

No Turning Back - Surving the Abyss

Melanie 2.0

Player Name: Xandrya

Character Name: Dr. Melanie Denise Larson

Character Age: 34

Character Gender: Female

Appearance

Image

Profession: Psychologist

Nationality: Roslin Federation

Strengths:

• Humanist and social justice advocate
• Multilingual--speaks 4 different languages
• Hand-to-hand combat knowledge

Weaknesses:

• Doesn't take heavy criticism too well
• Will relentlessly try to get her point across
• Shuts down at times and bottles up her feelings

Personal Effects: A suitcase with her clothes, some books, a media player to download music, videos, TV shows, and movies.

Bio: Melanie was born and raised in one of the northern territories of the Roslin Federation. Her backyard slightly resembled a desolate tundra, and she spent most of her free time exploring the vast landscape or tucked away in her room practicing various languages. Her father, Raphael, met her mother when he was on medical leave recovering from his wounds he acquired in one of his missions. From that moment on, the couple was basically inseparable.

As Melanie grew older, she decided she had had enough of such lonely lifestyle. She applied to a number of universities--all of them located in warmer climate--in order to get into one of the social sciences programs offered by the school. Up until that point, her interaction with people had been minimal, therefore she decided that the best way to learn about people was to get inside their heads and learn how they function.

She was away at school again at the beginning of her third year when the unspeakable happened. Her family, more specifically her parents, had been targeted by a few members of a rival force from Raphael's past. The news reached Melanie very quickly, her temporary mental breakdown concerning a few of her professors who proceeded to alert the head of the program at the university. Melanie took a semester break from school, concerning herself with tracking down the murderous faction and preparing herself both physically and mentally in order to go up against them whenever they eventually happened to cross paths. The search wasn't easy, not with the chaos going on around the world, but she eventually managed to track down one of the members responsible for the hideous act and tortured him for days until his body ceased to function altogether. But the man never gave her any names, yet oddly enough, Melanie admired his perseverance. She scared herself by violent she'd become, but eventually, Melanie returned to her studies where she eventually received her PhD with high honors after receiving some mental help of her own provided by one of her professors.

After some time away, Melanie returned to her alma mater where she kept busy with work regarding Project Genesis, although the true nature of her work was never revealed to her or her team as their work was disguised in order to maintain total confidentiality. Melanie, along with her team of three other members, were tasked with researching the best therapeutic approaches to combating the effects of long space travel and how to best overcome various other negative effects. When the big announcement finally went public, well after they had made quite the progress with their work, Melanie was offered a spot in one of the arks for her contribution and dedication to the research project. Melanie accepted the offer and the rest is history.

Relationships:
Keith Sullivan - previous patient and current romantic partner
Rear Admiral William Locke - previous patient
Commander Elijah Ross - TBD
Captain Matthew Lopez - friend
Michael 'Smith' - friend
Gavon & Natalie TreVayne - friends, Natalie was a previous patient
Maeve Katz - worked together in the past and also a friend

@InfamousGuy101@Heat

You got beat to it by a little bit, but no reason they can't be friends.

@ShwiggityShwah

They're going to be 5 years into the mission at this point I believe.

Sure, sounds good. Maybe we can start off our posts with the two meeting or something?

No Turning Back - Surving the Abyss

I think it's about time Mel has a partner. Any takers? She's 34, btw.
