+1 awkward paladin

Hello everyone, my name is The Guindo and I am coming to you with that roommate Alex keeps mentioning.

This is Ravindra Savarna, an OC. He is basically Socially Awkward Penguin. One of those shy, self-conscious, introverted, socially anxious types. Also stubborn and passive-aggressive, so that's fun.

He is formerly a Templar/paladin of a crystal-dragon-jesus religion who abandoned his god and country after a surprise military operation resulted in the loss of his friends and family. Thanks for the betrayal, country he used to love! Anyway that means he is a holy type and will eventually have the power to magically heal others. Heard y'all were lacking in that particular area.

In this incarnation, Ravi is a combat medic turned RN who works night shifts at the university hospital's ER. He is Alexander Varista's roommate and best bro; if you know Alex, you may know him as 'Vin.' He will be very quick to correct you. That also makes him Gomez/Arhu's roommate! Come to me, kitty-teenager!

There's potential for pre-existing CR in the fact that he is ex-Army, stationed at Ft Turner with two Iraq deployments, and also in that he got his nursing degree from LCU. There's a timeline on his info post if you want to check whether the timing lines up for CR.

I do not have a plurk (gasp!), but I am very easy to get ahold of. My e-mail is theguindo@gmail.com, and I will respond promptly if I'm not asleep or at work (I work graveyards so my free time is generally early evenings PST). My AIM is PianistOfRaielin, and I do not mind IMs but my AIM use is spotty so e-mail is way more reliable. You can also just PM me on my character account to arrange stuff, that's totally cool!

I am looking forward to playing with everyone, you all seem like a super-cool bunch of folks \o/

Oh, definitely! If it needed to be done and Ravi showed an aptitude for learning things on the fly, Aaron would definitely take advantage of that. I'd say they're on good terms for sure: I can't think of a reason Aaron would have anything against Ravi.

As for whether Ravi volunteers or not, that depends. They likely fell out of touch after their time working together ended, and if you want to play out them recognizing each other/realizing they're both in Locke City, then Ravi could start volunteering at a point in-game. If you want to say Ravi heard about Dr. Strider's clinic a while back, then that's cool too, and he'd know the other doctor there (Mordin Solus, [personal profile] testsonseashells) and a young man who works there part-time (Julien Sakazaki, [personal profile] espigeonage). Up to you!


...also bear with me, running this character has been the saga of Krystal-desperately-does-internet-research-on-the-military-and-medical-stuff, since I decided on a concept I had zero background knowledge of /)(\

I feel the same way! We'll make it happen in-game and then Aaron will introduce Ravi to Mordin, Julien, and I forgot to mention Anthony ([personal profile] scramasax), a young man who's slowly turning into a zombie and can't go home so he spends the day helping at the clinic and wanders around the Dead District at night 8D

they're a motley crew ♥

And I will most definitely remember that -- there's a couple things I haven't been able to track down clear info about, and will totes hit you up in the future. IN THE MEANTIME IF I MAKE ANY INCORRECT ASSUMPTIONS please do call me on it!
