+1 awkward paladin

[healspec]

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/

AWESOME! haha, i mentioned him probably having been in bc he's sort of notorious for being reckless in canon and gets hurt a lot :x he's less reckless in his reincarnation but he still has a dangerous job and i figure it's most likely he's been hurt at least once or twice in the fifteen or so years he's been doing it.

and yes, that is correct! good guess, lol |3 kotetsu will probably call him Ravi bc what is formality, can you eat it.

Haha yes that makes sense! If it's more frequent there might be jokes about whether he's bringing a patient or there for himself.

He's fine with just being called Ravi! Nurses are all on a first-name basis anyway. But if Kotetsu ever asks him to just call him by his first name, he'll try for like two minutes and then give up. There might be a compromise of calling him Sarge, that's...slightly more casual, right?

Lmfao yes good I approve of all this.

Ravi trying and failing to call him by his first name only is defs a thing that needs to have happened. Hope you don't mind headpats, Ravi, because that is probably a thing that has happened too v.v

[healspec]

oh my god he's just short not 12

He does mind headpats, that shit feels so condescending, but he would just...glower...and never say anything about it.

^obviously that is just his opinion tho, I think that's hilarious

lmfasdklfjas sobs he does it to everyone like the oyaji he is rofl...

kotetsu is pretty goodnatured about it (he's a dad-type and just kind of a dork overall) but if he got the hint that ravi was genuinely bothered by it (or if he acted significantly different the next time he saw him) he'd probably seek him out to ask about it/apologize, pffft.

[healspec]

Hahaha that's something I'd rather do onscreen I think! So you can assume up until now that there hasn't been a really notable reaction. The first couple times he was probably just stunned, like "did he really. did that really just happen." And then after that it'd be glowering, but he'd never...actually bring it up, or act significantly different toward him (except maybe bracing himself when he saw it coming).

Ravi's approach to awkward shit is to...pretend it didn't happen. Calling attention to it is EVEN MORE AWKWARD okay!!

i am down with this!!

he will be so terribly confused whenever he does find out it's an issue, hahaha. i am excite. :3c
