Dr. Sydion
Dr. Sydion
Personality:
Dr. Allegory Sydion is not a kind person, though a doctor they may be. However he would not define himself as particularly cruel. This is something others may disagree on, as they do act rather cold and callous most of the time. He is precision focused on his goal, and anything along the way is merely incidental.
They are also a cautious and guarded individual, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. He doesn’t grow close with other people, keeping everyone at a staff’s length, and this paranoia extends to their physical wear, always covering up as much of themself as possible.
The doctor does have one soft spot though - if they can spare the time and resources, they will do what they can to help the sick and injured. It’s not something they go out of their way to do, but they will gladly share medicines and healing related alchemical knowledge.
Strengths & Abilities:
Well Supplied :
Dr. Sydion carries the majority of ingredients & tools necessary to create a wide variety of basic potions, poisons, and machines with them at all times. They additionally carry several vials or flasks of completed potions & poisons.
Artificer - Alchemist :
They have some mechanical and magical expertise, but primarily specialize in their abilities in alchemy and potion making.
Their weapon of choice is a plague doctor’s staff they constructed themself. The head of the staff is an hourglass with wings, which can be removed to act as an independent construct. When this is removed, the end of the staff reshapes into a small point, which can be used to inject potions supplied via the base of the staff.
His mask also has a mechanical effect, using the beak to be able to insert a potion, getting an extended but either diluted or delayed effect of the potion, without ever taking off their mask.
Doctor :
Dr. Sydion has several years of medical training and practice under his belt. While they certainly aren’t the most caring of physicians, they know what they’re doing.
Intelligence :
He’s very smart, and very well learned. If given ample time, they will be able to strategize their way out of just about any situation.
Weaknesses & Flaws:
Blind side :
Dr. Sydion’s left eye and ear are horribly injured, leaving him fully blind & with a lot of hearing difficulty in their left side.
They also have a light sensitivity in their remaining eye, though it’s something they counteract with the goggles on their mask.
Inflexible :
While Dr. Sydion is excellent at planning and prepping, they have a lot of trouble reacting to things quickly. An unexpected variable could throw their whole plan in disarray. If given ample time they can strategize a way out, but without time to think they quickly end up cornered.
Single minded :
Dr. Sydion is entirely focused on his goal. They don’t usually try to be cruel, and will at times even spend time and resources to help the sick and injured, but they aren’t the type to make friends, or care about the collateral.
Encumbered :
Dr. Sydion carries a lot of things, all of the time. Even without all of their supplies, the amount of clothing layers heavily reduces their mobility. Even though they are practiced in moving around like this, any task requiring dexterous movement from them is unlikely to end well.
They are also unable to swim in their gear, and do not do very well in warm settings.
History & Summary:
Allegory was born to a human father and drow mother in a small town. Though they were only raised by their father. Whatever happened to their mother, they don’t know, but she hasn’t ever made an appearance in his life.
Their childhood and early adult years were spent living a quiet isolated life, never truly being a part of their community, just living with his father, and trying not to draw too much attention to himself. And then a sickness came to the quiet town, and took their father with it.
This event, tragic though it may be, is what spurred on their interest in medicine, healing, and alchemy, eventually growing into an obsession for the ultimate cure, the cure for death itself - immortality. They took to the roads, learning their trade along the way - at some point, facing an unfortunate accident with one of their experiments, and eventually, has ended up where they are now.
Description & Visual Reference: (Can also use picrew to create a reference if you’d like)
Dr. Sydion is always dressed in a dark, heavy cloak, with several more layers of clothing beneath it. This cloak also contains the majority of their alchemical supplies, tucked away in various pockets. Underneath this cloak, they wear a black cassock and long gloves, and underneath that, a long sleeved shirt, leggings, and short pants.
While they may occasionally take off some of their layers when resting, the only time they aren’t keeping themselves 100% covered is when they are cleaning themselves and their clothes.
Underneath their mask, Dr. Sydion has obvious scarring. (detailed ->) The entire left side of their face, including their eye, is covered in heavy acid burns, and most of their outer left ear is gone.
Practical Details (i.e. quirks, ways of speaking, etc.)
Not very good at talking to people
Talks very quickly when they do speak
Will generally try and keep a person they’re engaging with on their right
applies to both conversation and battle
Fighting Style
Fights mostly using potion/poison injections via their ‘staff’, wields it akin to a rapier. At longer range will turn to magic or potion grenades
When fighting with an ally, can use staff to give said ally positive potion effects instead.
