Information about your Character
Doctor
Name: Gabriel Clark M.D.
Age: 28 (Not exactly sure how long it takes to get out of med school. But I thought I should go high)
Profession Medical Doctor/ Preferably Pathology and forensic Medicine
Ethnicity: caucasian
------
Personal Style:
Personally when you think of Pathologists. You know the guys who examine cadavers. You think people who probably don't get much sleep. Probably know the human body like the back of their hand. Smells rotting flesh consistently. It's not that Gabriel doesn't have those things. Gabriel tries to not let it get to him. Heck he's not the perfect doc, and heck he has his fair share of mistakes. In fact he has a way of sharing his many bodies he has to examine. Which includes its many less than savory aspects.
He takes a different approach to medicine. Thinking of it more as a journey to a conclusion. What I mean by that really is every body has a story. How did it die. Of course he leaves the human aspects of it. He'd never be able to do his work. Personality wise he takes everything way too seriously. The kind to take a joke, and rip it to shreds with over analysis. Pretty slow to really get the joke. But The whole seriousness is a hallmark of his caring personality. Literally would take the shirt off his back for you.
Physical Appearance:
His physical appearance can be misleading. Gabriel isn't very tall maybe around 5'10" pretty slim though. Not overweight, but has been in the past. One time weighing in his high 200's. His current weight 210 pounds. His face pretty weather beaten, and freckled somethimes. This is Jersey to be honest with you.
While Gabriel is short he knows how to physically intimidate. His body language gives you the impression. That he knows what he's talking about. When half the time he wonders if he knows or not. His eyes are brown, but a light enough brown to see a little yellow. (not Jaundice) slightly duckfooted at times. It seems that he walking at the sides of his feet. Hair short, but slighty spiky. Dark brown colored hair, which is not very uncommon
Scars/Tatoos/ Piercings:
Cut from knife during his internship. Mad patient.
Best Physical Feature:
Eyes- its really the window to one's soul. He could tell what kind of person you are by looking at you. half the time he's right. Other times he wings it.
Worst Physical Feature:
Feet- sometimes it's tough to take him seriously
Picture:
--------
Habits:
Okay habits
- Likes to make a clicking sound with his tounge. It gets annoying after the 10th click.
- Humming during making y-inciscions. (Perferably marching tunes)
- never tips during dinner time.
Likes:
- Following guidlines Helps to know em.
- playing detective. In the most professional way possible.
- Candle light dinners. Especially under the moonlight
- running from clinic duty.
Dislikes:
-rule-breaking though he secretly envies the rule breaker
- People talking behind his back.
- Liars
- people who are way too openly honest.
- never call him lazy. Incompetant or idiotic okay never lazy.
Personality:
Personally to describe Gabriel Clark he's truthfully a optimist. While he knows you are going to lie to him eventually. He also knows when you are lying to him. Course he isn't always right. Falls on his rear when he is wrong. But typically he likes to think the best in people to the point. Preferablly he'd rather know less of you. Probably why he chose this profession.
Moody much of the time. He'll intentionally fall asleep during board meetings. Gabriel while he is slow as a turtle he is sly as a fox. So it is best not think he's blocking out everything. He can get down right bitchy about his lab work. Especially if its late.
Gabriel prefers the dead over the living. Namely for 2 reasons one the dead very rarely talks back. Unless you are hallucinating. Secondly it doesn't require a blood curtling mistake. The subject is already dead. Lucky for him it wasn't his patient. (there is a deeper reason trust me)
Biggest Personality Flaw:
- Worries too much about being hurt.
Biggest Personality Strength:
- While Gabe is stuck to the dead. He typically cares alot about people. Just doesn't want to know about their many fallibities. Whether it is denial or repression. We don't know.

History:
Born Gabriel Clark truthfully he grew up happily, but not gainfully endowed. His family had trouble making ends meet. But they were happy. Gabe looked up to his dad alot. Course he was not a doctor himself, but taught his son the value of hard work. You do do work you should do it well. No matter how distasteful.
Gabe wasn't exactly a top student. In fact why he became a doctor was even more of a question. It seemed as if the odds were against him. But he was the type that if he wanted something he'd fight for it. A doctor was something he could aim for. In fact it could help his parents were not getting much younger.
Typically its really a myth that doctors make a whole lot of money. So he struggled through college. Especially to pay for it. By the time he ended it. He made up 5 loans, and owes well over 10 grand. (Yeah guys higher education is expensive). After making near the top of his class. Being very intelligent. Earning a masters in chemistry and Graduating from UC san Francisco. Killing a few people along the way with medical blunders.
Finally making it to intern. Now which was a journey in of itself. During 3 of his rotations they had to get a crash cart. Especially to resusitate patients. Which is very typical in medicine. After spending 2 years of his internship in San Francisco. Finding out a job opening in Jersey. Princeton medical Center was looking for a fellow. Itching to move out east. Several applications later. Pathology wasn't his first choice as a specialty. Truthfully he didn't have to patience for surgery. Emergency Medicine wasn't his best choice. Deciding on Pathology because they needed one.
Not to say that Dr. Clark was a natural at it. Because it took a long to get used to the stink. But to date has consulted on several cases with NYPD, and FBI. Murder investigations, and has helped put away 10 people behind bars. Written a couple of articles none of which made it big. But it earned him credit.

Roleplaying Sample:
Down in the bowels of the hospital. Of course it was only the levels below the first floor. Wearing nothing, but his scrubs and a mask. Gabriel Clark was examining a body. To be honest the person looked about his age. It was scary to really look at it. Gabe tried not to see the body as living, but how could he. One time this person was alive, but not anymore. Making a small inciscion below the rib cage. It felt like torture everythime. The body had been ordered to be exhumed, and examined by a federal court.
Typically a small microphone was inside the room. Whenever a doctor made a note of how the body looked. What key distinctive features that person found. It was important to jot it down. The sweat beaded off his brow. making another inciscion downward. Feeling the intestine as it just brushed against his glove. Mouth next to the microphone. Clark began to speak.
"January 8th 2007, Autopsy of patient 287 Named Nancy Johnson." said Gabriel
In truth he hated doing autopsies, but it was necessary. Each detail had to be absolute. A mistake could make or break a case. Feeling and weighing the heart something didn't seem right. While there were cuts in one place. Places were the doctor meant to cut. There were was a deep laceration on one of the major arteries.
"Deep laceration found not sure if it was made before or after accident." said Gabe.
Knowing very little about the case. Only reading what the doctors report said. Apparently a botched surgery. It was often difficult to point out faults, but it was his duty. The night was going to be long, and he knew it. Continuing to make notes.
PUT SPECIAL PHRASE HERE.
You can’t always get what you want
