Physician: Medical Practitioner

You are a trained physician. You probably started out as a simple barber surgeon but received proper training at some point. Perhaps, you attended a structured school or university or recieved training as a medic in the Last War. Perhaps, it was just a simple apprenticeship under a master physician. Either way, you know more about the mysteries of the human (or other) body than those around you. You know how to identify wounds, diseases and illnesses. You know the materials and methods needed to attend to them.

Suggested Characteristics

Physicians are dedicated to the welfare of their patients, dead or alive, above all else. They seek out knowledge of anatomy and ailments and use everything they learn to bring those under their care back from the brink or prevent them from succumbing in the first place. They have seen the effects of the Last War: disease, famine, pestilence and warwounds that have left their mark, shaping their ideals, creating strong bonds, and often leaving them scarred and vulnerable.
