Description

***not final*** i will probably have to grow into/adjust some aspects of this chara if i rp him


"Doesn't that just make your skin feel sour.."

● Name: Dr. Zhang

● Room #: [Will be assigned]

● Department: Anesthetics

● Mental illness: Hypochondriasis

● Age: 28

● Gender: Male

● Height/weight: [180cm/73kg]

● Blood Type: [O]

● Abilities: Dr. Zhang likes to think that he possesses exceptional bedside manners, often he is very reassuring to patients although he has a great deal of trouble reassuring himself.

When he is not occupied with the well being of the patient or his own perceived ailments, he often frequents the garden set aside for the Anesthetics department. 

His preferred method of making medicinal decoctions involves taking plants and herbs to simmer over a fire in a pot. The results usually have variable effectiveness. He keeps notes of his recipes as well as his dried medicinal ingredients in shelves and shelves divided into drawers against his wall. His experiments have resulted in smoky and ashy scents that easily allow others to detect his presence. It is not a heavy smell of cigarettes and chemicals, but often a herbal smell that is sometimes repulsing and at other times inviting.


● Personality: 

He is someone who sees his body as a sort of enemy who is always going to fail him. At the insistence of a former lover, he went to get a massage for his tense muscles. During the session they joked about how like a rock he was, but afterward his body felt extremely sore, as it was unaccustomed. It left him none the more relieved and only fed his self diagnoses. 

His lack of sleep leads to his increased irritability and displeasure. His worries are enough to to drain him of mental energy better used elsewhere. Frequent fears of heart palpitations in the middle of the night keep him up and consume a great deal of time better put toward rest. It leaves him fatigued in the morning and not in the best mood for social interaction. Still, in the presence of patients, he will insist that everything is alright, though he silently worries to himself. Despite his close guarding, his worries often manifest in eccentric habits.

Vague symptoms, from headaches to fatigue often are amplified in the echo chamber of his mind. As someone whose job is to make someone as at ease and as pain free as possible, he himself is very uneasy with his own phantom pains. In the white walls and cool metal of the operating room, the emotions of others, especially that of anxiety and fear are quite lucid to him. At the end of a procedure, the events no doubt replay in his mind.

On some days, he is more preoccupied by his own symptoms than that of the patient in front of him. He needs reassurance from those he deems as his superiors. While his veneer of kindness and patience toward patients is polished, he quickly drains those same qualities from his colleagues at Matryoshka. He accepts replies to his inquiries on occasions when he gets them with nods. However, he never fully accepts the reassurance or ridicule despite their professional opinion, due to the weigh of his imagined illness. The Research Department in particular grew tired of his insistence that he suffer from a new and as of yet undiscovered illness and that they must invest time into. Whether that suggestion has been taken is yet to be determined.

 

● History: *He enjoys the freedom that Matryoshka Hospital allows him with the garden of herbs. There he can actually rest or nap, and there he occasionally experiments with the herbs himself, but keeps several antidotes with him in case of side effects. He has been around for just a bit more than a half-decade, thought it has felt longer. He supposed he had never quite grown out of his medical student syndrome, but he is a student no longer but a residing anesthetist of Matryoshka Hospital. When he arrived he was nervous.  All he remembers was the heavy rainfall as the water swelled around the ferry boat. The rocking of the all too small boat had left an uneasiness in his stomach.*


● Relationships: 


[ Head Founder Dr.Ishka? Not sure if actually hired or bad dream

 Surgery Dept. Head Dr.Ganggu? Aww yeah anesthetics and surgery department rapport! (hopefully he can work alongside the plastic surgery doctor because minimal blood and guts right??? *coughs*)

Anesthetist Dept. Head Dr Kosui? Aggressively asks for professional advice / permission to boil stuff up pls

really vague section basically needs work so headcanon with me in notes or comments ??? ahhh sweats ] 


● Likes:  sweet fruits (peach is a favorite), plain water, bitter medicine, herbal tea, soft tissue paper, apothecaries, Shennong, 


● Dislikes: thirst, breathlessness, homeopathy, unexplained symptoms, poorly ventilated rooms, choking, sour breath, fish bones. 


● Additional Information: 

To him, the consumption of food and the imbibing of liquids is a task that requires great care on his part. If he has food and drink on hand, he rarely ever likes to be bothered.

Lukewarm and moderate is how he prefers water temperature because he fears fainting in a hot tub and the generally stuffy conditions it presents. He is extremely weary of Matryoshka’s onsen and his coworker's various invitations to relax there.
