so I guess this is the return of the king or something

[elfstoned]

hi guys

guess who's got his echoes back



So I'm Krystal, and I'm the crustiest oldbie you ever did see, bringing everyone's favorite prodigal pot doctor back.

Here's what you need to know:
-Dr. Aaron Strider has been married to his job run a charity clinic on the wrong side of the tracks for years.
-He got Echoes about two years ago, then lost them in December 2013. The clinic has remained open in his hands through that time, and has always been friendly to the Numbered.
-He comes off as slightly kind of needlessly creepy, but is actually one of the more standup guys you will ever meet.
-He used to sell pot.
-Info post is here.

Feel free to assume your character knows him! If you want to hash out backstory, whether it's your character having visited the clinic before or knowing him from his time traveling around the world or in the military, feel free to hit me up here, in a PM, or on plurk with an idea of the general impression he's gotten of your character! He might even have sold you weed. That shit stopped for good a year ago, but it was definitely a thing.

So yes! I am back, and my long-term plans for him involve destroying his life's work. :'D I've been planning for him to get in trouble with the law for some time, so the clinic may either not be around or not be in his hands much longer. That way, he'll be less tied to Locke and freer to move around with the plot. He'll also be Echoing back his canon appearance soon, castmates, so if you're interested in playing with that, it'll happen.

Please do add me on plurk -- that's the easiest way for me to plot, though PMs work too. Looking forward to playing with all of you!

...well, you know what, we've had enough people hurt that I think beggar's can't be choosers as to what kind of doctors we have floating about. :p

Hello, hello there.

Oh, not having the clinic around will be problematic for Emi here, considering her source of 'food.'

It might spur her to a foray into philanthropy and having a new Numbered-friendly clinic set up.

Ohi!

Liam can always use some new adult supervision! /evil laughter

Hi loser!

[dead_black_eyes]

Hey! I'm all for assuming that L knows him through the clinic if he's been operating it. Welcome back!

Welcome back aboard!

[charcoalfeather]

oh hey! welcome back!

[evowhisperer]

Aaah, wonderful, welcome back!

Cesar hasn't visited the clinic (nor bought weed), so he and Strider won't know each other. Still, it sounds like it'd be fun to change that soon!

Welcome back!

Okay long story short: Shou is a vampire. Short story long: He was brought to Strider's clinic after getting terminally wounded and then woke up and proceeded to drink a bunch of blood, complain about the taste and also learned that sunlight is not a good thing for him and sulked for a couple days in the darkest room of the hospital he could find.

Also Strider had gotten a lot of donations after that.
