CHARACTER
Character Name: Ryan Dalias
Character Age: 35
Canon: Eos 10
Canon Point: After the Christmas Special
History: Ryan was about twelve when his parents finally divorced. His father was a starship captain and his mother hated space travel. For a long time Ryan blamed their separation on his father's job. He split his childhood between his mother's home in Paris and the starship his father was stationed on. Ultimately Ryan applied for and was accepted to the Academy for the Alliance. He was on the swim team, doing well enough in the Academy, things weren't bad at all.
When celebrating with a bunch of the swim team, the captain convinced them all to go cliff diving on Titan. Ryan, over-eager and over-excited, went first. And last. He woke up in the hospital weeks later, his spine was 'obliterated' in his own word. While he got an artificial replacement thanks to the wonders of sci-fi medical technology he was on a lot of drugs at the time. And just kind of ... never stopped taking them.
What happened after that was a couple years that Ryan is not proud of. A downward spiral of addiction, intervention by his father and friends, rehab, relapse, rehab again. It wasn't his proudest series of moments. He finally managed sobriety at around twenty, though that was in no small part due to the neural implant he received in his second time at rehab that literally prevents him from getting high.
He made it back to school, somehow. Likely thanks to his father's pull. Eventually he even became a doctor, and a damn good one. Fifteen years later he was assigned to the space station Eos 10, the Alliance's brilliant shining star in deep space, a hub of life and culture of worlds even not part of the Alliance. And while yes it was because he was a good doctor, he didn't become Head of Surgery thanks to his pretty face, the actual reason he was sent was because due to his history he was seen as the best hope to get the head doctor of Eos 10 under control. A very ill-tempered but gifted and prestigious doctor who was also an alcoholic.
And then he happened to get roped into shenanigans that lead to uncovering a plot within the Alliance itself, speaking in favor of an alleged (framed) terrorist, and his father dying to keep that conspiracy a secret.
It's been a pretty crazy year, and it hasn't even been a full year yet.
Personality: As always, here's the section you want to be thorough on. If you're having trouble, ask yourself about your character motivations, how they interact with strangers or friends, what drives them, and how their personalities have developed and grown throughout canon. While we encourage the use of canon examples to back up personality statements, we also value your own voice and opinions here.
Inventory: Alliance Medical scrubs + Eos 10 station ID bracelet. Basic medical scanner (go into what that can do)
Abilities: Surgeon -
Swimmer -
Brain Implant -
Flaws: ADDICT. (+Stubborn)
