T.R.


 * T.R. O’Malley**


 * Student**


 * Physical Description** -

Race: Human

Age: 25

Height/Weight: 5’8”, approx. 160 lbs

Hair: Brown, A bit too long to be considered clean-cut, but not scruffy. It has a slight curl to it, and always looks like he woke up, got it wet, then went out for a jog, then fought off some orcs, then ran his hands through it… because he probably did! (Aka… it looks a bit messy on a every-day basis)

Eyes: Light blue

Skin/Marks/Other: Lightly tan, fairly clear complexion.

Clothes/Armor: When out and about in the wilds and the woods, he tends to favor leathers and furs… though when he’s practicing his healing craft he’s most comfortable in cotton pants and shirts… usually with an overcoat of some sort with pockets. (The ranger’s version of surgical scrubs)

Weapons:

Items: O’Malley is not a big fan of hanging on to too many personal effects… he is on the move quite often. Though, lately he has acquired more than usual… he has been stationary for quite some time.


 * Personality -**

Attitude: T.R. is a very pleasant person. He is empathic towards others, and easy-going in nature. He can be a bit boyish at times, refusing to truly grow up. (Being an adult is no fun when you’re young at heart!) He is also superstitious, and a firm believer in Karma.

Abilities: T.R. is a fast learner. He is a gifted healer, and is also very at home in the wilds of the realm. He hopes to be a traveling healer one day… bringing his skills to those who need them.

Talents: His smile and demeanor are very disarming. Many people find themselves confiding in him with out realizing it. He puts a person at ease in some of the tensest circumstances just by being himself. He’s also a decent hunter, though he tends to enjoy the tracking aspect more than the actual killing.

Likes: He loves being outside… staying in doors too longs makes him a bit antsy. He also thoroughly enjoys practicing his people-healing skills, and his orc-slaughtering skills.

Dislikes: T.R. is not a fan of conflict. (other than some good orc-slaying) He also doesn’t like men who disrespect women, or anyone who messes with his forests. He doesn’t like anyone to use the Q word either… its very bad luck. (Quiet is the Q word, by the way.)

Habits: O’Malley is an early riser. He wakes before the sun is up and takes plenty of time outside before the day begins. It’s how he survives staying inside the hospital all day long! Also, when he’s nervous he chews on his lower lip.

Strengths: As both a healer and a tracker, he knows what he is doing. He is confident in his abilities, and can usually deal with tense situations. He is fast, steady, and generally pleasant to be around.

Weaknesses: T.R. does not like leadership roles… he would be much happier turning control of major decisions to an authority figure. He will deal with it if there is no one else to take over, but being in charge makes him nervous. He also has a soft spot for the utter annihilation of the orc race. See an orc, kill an orc… it’s that simple. He tends to be a bit bumbly around women he finds attractive as well. Finally… he does not hold his liquor well. It does not take a lot to get him inebriated, and he is a very friendly and talkative drunk… so he tends to avoid alcohol.

Philosophy/Quote: "Karma. One way or another it will leave us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up from behind. But karma will always find us. The truth is, as surgeons, we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor. Yet no matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma. It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about our karma. It's not an affair. It's not unexpected. It just... evens the score. And even when we're about to do something that we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass... well, it goes without saying. We do it anyway."

Nationality: O’Malley is originally from a small town in southern Havenland, but he is currently residing in Oriscina, working and studying at the healing facility just outside the town.

Raised: T.R. was born Maerch, the 26th. He had the typical small town family… two loving parents, and two not so loving older brothers, a dog, a cat, and no shortage of trouble.

Family:

Friends: Thus far, his closest and most trusted friend is his advisor/ teacher, Dr. Baile. O’Malley has no real trouble getting along with people, but he doesn’t stay in one place often enough to build strong relationships.

 * Story:**

T.R. (short for Theodore Raymond) had a good childhood, and enjoyed living in his rural town. He worked closely with local trackers, traders, and woods guides to earn some spending money, learning the ways of the woods as he went. He had a great respect for life and nature. Not long ago, however, rumor of dark times started frightening the people of Havenland. Many families left the area. T.R. offered to help them relocate north further. He and about three families started on the journey north, but were attacked by highway bandits along the way. They all fought as hard as they could, but in the end, most of the Havenlanders were severely injured or dying. T.R. was badly hurt, but not mortally wounded. He offered to go for help after doing what little he could to make his companions comfortable. Not too far from Oriscina, he finally collapsed, and woke a couple of days later in a cozy, clean medical facility. As it would turn out, he had been found by a local merchant and brought to a hospital run by a Halfling woman known as Dr. Baile. Dr. Baile sent out some of her students to look for T.R.’s companions. Many had been brought back, and to his surprise, most had survived the ordeal. He was so impressed by the skill shown by Dr. Baile and her healing staff that he stayed on to see what he could learn. He quickly discovered that he thoroughly enjoyed the healing arts. He is currently studying and practicing his craft under the supervision of Dr. Baile, and hopes to one day be a traveling healer… lending his assistance to any on his path.
