Greetings, humans. I am G-man, and on this day, the seventeenth day of the fourth month of the two-thousand and thirteenth year of this common era, I bring you Doctor Mordin Solus from Mass Effect! Mordin was once a scientist salarian who studied species turian, asari, and batarian helped save the galaxy from some aliens called the Collectors, and then died curing a fertility-lowering disease. It was all very sad and his death scene was rife with callback lines.

Now, however, he is simply a thirty-four-year-old human doctor who was in the FBI at one point. He currently runs a clinic in Locke City's slums. He retains his passion for science, but is probably less of an "execute dangerous people" kind of guy (only somewhat though). He was a moderately famous scientist before his FBI days, and did a few interviews and TV appearances.

If you ever want to reach me, just message this journal. I am also heir_of_life on AIM, but I never check it, so that isn't nearly as reliable.

This looks really awesome, and I'm looking forward to playing with you guys.

Hello there! I'm Krystal, and I play Aaron Strider, who just nicely found out his old name was Aragorn, who....is an ex-Army medic who runs a sketch-as-hell clinic in the slums.

WANT TO WORK TOGETHER? 8D Or are there two charity clinics in Locke City?

[testsonseashells]

Nice to meet you, Krystal. I am certainly a fan of working together.

[elfstoned]

This is actually totally excellent because Aaron is like. Allergic to days off or something and it'll be really great to have someone else available.

How long has Dr. Solus been working in the city? Do they operate out of the same place already, or do you want to play out the team-up in-game? I'm totally up for either.

[testsonseashells]

I'd rather we say they've been working together for a while, just because it's consistent with my app.

Also, Mordin's been concussed recently from an accident when he was guest supervising a class at the university. I figure he's been out for about a week, getting treated at a bigger hospital, and has only just returned.

[elfstoned]

Sounds good to me!

Here's what I have established for LSR Clinic:
--It's just south of the Dead District, on Five Forks Road.
--It's called LSR Clinic because the old sign is so worn that only the letters L-S-R can be read.
--The doors are heavy and metal, and the windows are barred. The walls are painted cinderblock, and it's very sparsely furnished.
--There's an operating room, an examining room, a waiting room, an office, and a back storage room. That storage room has a back door that can be accessed through an alley with minimal risk of someone seeing you go in.
--It charges a flat fee, but that is negotiable, and no one is turned away if they can't pay. They've also treated criminals, and because of that (and the fact that there's nothing worth stealing) gangs leave it alone.
--It's registered as a 501c3 tax-exempt charity, but Strider's had a devil of a time getting funding for it, so to help cover operating costs, he deals weed on the side. Up to you if Mordin knows about this or not. I have no idea if that's too sketchy or illegal for his tastes, but this Strider would not be above hiding that.

Does this sound good to you? If there's anything you'd like to change it can probs be retconned -- I've just been crazy active all week re: Strider connecting with patients over the network.

[testsonseashells]

Mordin, I figure, probably hasn't picked up on the drug dealing yet, although if he found out, I can't imagine he'd be too happy with it.

The only change I can think of is that everything needs red lighting to match Omega.

[elfstoned]

Oooh, potential future drama. I like it. So it's not too sketch/underfunded for what you had in mind?

If you want to hang red plastic filters over the fluorescent lights be my guest.

[testsonseashells]

No, that sounds about right - it's surprisingly similar to what his Omega set -up was.

[elfstoned]

Excellent. I'm super excited about this -- not only is it an A+ teamup, but it also means I can play Aaron doing other things on days off without him worrying about what if someone comes in and no one is there.

Oh, and the hours right now are 8AM-10PM, and Aaron's got a phone number up by the door to call if there's an emergency and the clinic's closed.

Next question -- how do you think they met? It would probably have to be in Locke City, and my history right now says that Aaron's been working at this clinic for a little over two years.

....also, until Aaron finds out Mordin is also one of the people with the magic-number-network-access, he's going to be nervous that Mordin will find out that they're seeing patients who have physically impossible blood conditions. He's not sure how he's going to handle that yet.

[testsonseashells]

Mordin moved here about six months ago, looking exactly for this kind of work. Honestly, he probably went into the Dead District looking for a facility to use as a clinic and found LSR (just figured out the pun), walked in, and said something along the lines of "Here to apply for job as fellow doctor. Don't need much pay. Interested?

I figure out they'll find each other soon enough. Mordin has an extremely distinct speaking style.

[elfstoned]

Sounds good to me. Aaron isn't the most open person, nor is he the easiest to work with -- there was a difficult period where he was still adjusting to having help, and breaking the "I-have-to-do-everything-by-myself" habits he'd formed, but he's gotten loads better about it.

He's not unfriendly, not by far, but he keeps his personal feelings to himself, and doesn't talk much about what he did between leaving the Army and opening LSR Clinic. (so glad you got that, I'm particularly proud of it ♥ )

And as for finding one another on the network, Dr. Strider favors voice posts and has openly used his name to offer the clinic's services. It shouldn't take long for them to figure things out.

[testsonseashells]

Mordin probably hasn't revealed much about his past either -- so basically we're dealing with two very private people running a clinic together.

There is no way this can possibly go wrong. I can't wait.

[elfstoned]

It will be beautiful and great and we'll all learn important lessons about the value of friendship, honesty and trust.

Oh also, when Mordin comes back he'll notice Aaron humming a song in a weird language to himself. One of his recent echoes was the Lay of Luthien -- if asked, he'll claim the language is Finnish, and won't really talk about what the song is about.

[professorwolf]

Hello hello! :) Welcome! I'm Gail, and I play the local high school biology teacher who likes to think he's smarter than he is, who is overprotective of his students, and who rather likes sheep. He will eventually return to his Victorian werewolf self :D

I look forward to rping with ya!

[testsonseashells]

Nice to meet you. These two should have an interesting relationship.

[professorwolf]

Quite possibly ^^ Especially once he starts smelling non-human :D

Also, Lyall has already had some dealings with Aaron/Aragorn, and will quite likely be back in the future, so it'd be an easy way to get face-to-face CR.

[chalicejoker]

Hi! I'm Airdra, and I play this Hajime, who is the resident Kamen Rider turned guy who helps run his parents' restaurant. He's kind of interested in doctors who won't ask questions, because his blood turned green on him a few weeks ago, and he is fairly certain this will make getting normal medical treatment somewhat of a problem.

Nice to meet you! ^^

[testsonseashells]

Funnily enough, salarians have green blood too, although Mordin doesn't have his just yet.

[chalicejoker]

Haha, they should talk once Mordin gets his back.

[twopercent]

Welcome to the game! I loved Mordin, oh man. That whole final scenario... well, my memory is a bit cloudy due to post-game rage, but you know how it is. I should pull it out again for some shootan times...

I'm Skai, and I play Jack here! Who will eventually stop being a crippled ex-military type on the run and start being a badass cyborg ninja. Someday. Metal Gear cybernetics seem awfully weirdly biological (who put all that blood in these robots?!), so I am all in favor of more doctor and scientist types! He also probably counts as a dangerous guy, erk. :|a

[testsonseashells]

Well, Shepard probably qualifies as a cyborg, so hey, nothing new.

[iaijutsu]

Man, someday I will play Mass Effect. LIKE ALL I HAVE SEEN OF YOUR CANON IS THE CLIP OF MORDIN SINGING GILBERT AND SULLIVAN. But that was so beautiful.

I'm Sam, and I play the other Hajime, a quiet nerdy pre-med student who in his past life was a badass vampire samurai.

Looking forward to playing with you!

check out that incorrect account usage

[testsonseashells]

That clip is all you need to see.

(no you should play mass effect it's great)

Nice to meet you, too.

[shiromadoushi]

Hey and welcome! I'm Fran who plays this nerd from that one series about card games who's actually 3 guys named Bakura all meshed together into one teenager. Fun times, right? :) Welcome to the game!

[testsonseashells]

Ah, yes, that one series about card games. Who could forget?

Nice to meet you.

[espigeonage]

Hello, G-man! Mordiiiiiin!

I'm Joysweeper, I play Julien here, the overly social talkative reincarnation of a pigeon spy. He volunteers in that LSR clinic.

[testsonseashells]

Nice to meet you.
