Name: Morberis Blackburn.
Age: 37
Gender: Male.
Occupation: Surgeon.
Race: Human.
Physical Appearance: At once long of limb and lofty of stature, the dark-haired and grey-eyed surgeon is tall enough to loom over many he meets, although his spare frame and unhealthy pallor ensure that he isn't particularly intimidating. Thin and statuesque, Morberis has a lithe, gangly build, which, along with his lengthy and dextrous fingers, suggest his nimbleness, fleet-footedness and efficient grace, as well as his unimpressive physical strength. A consummate professional in almost every respect, Morberis keeps himself well-groomed and maintained (in all respects except his somewhat messy and overgrown hair and his considerable propensity for smoking), although the difficulty he experiences in getting a good night's sleep is evident in the heavy bags frequently visible under his dull grey eyes.
Clothing Appearance: Morberis almost prefers the crisp, sterile cleanliness of his hospital scrubs over regular clothing, wearing comfortable and formal clothing when not at work, the surgeon having little interest in fashion beyond a fondness for fancy jackets.
Personality: Focused, precise, severe and incredibly meticulous, Morberis has an introverted, even brooding personality that stems from his poor social skills, the surgeon often uncomfortable or awkward in social situations, preferring his own company over that of others. Coldly polite at the very least, Doctor Blackburn may be focused, professional, cool and driven, but he isn't unfeeling, the young surgeon an utter stranger to many affairs of the heart, as well as genuine friendship, something which often embarrasses him on his few outings into the wider world beyond his quiet home and medical practice. Owing to his drive and desire for precision and efficiency in all things, Morberis can often become lost in the minutia of his work and plans, taking copious notes on all he does and discovers (sometimes to the detriment of any wider plan), in the hopes of improving some minute facet of his work.
Weapons/Tools: Described by others as an artist with surgical equipment, Morberis' Stand affords the already eagle-eyed and steady-handed surgeon even more precision and nuance with the tools of his trade. Although he doesn't take them with him off duty due to his strict adherence to hospital policy, Doctor Blackburn is extremely skilful and precise with short blades and scalpels.
Skills: Surgery, biology (and cardiology in particular), diagnosis, hospital bureaucracy, latin, knitting, synthetic and medical chemistry.
Are they a Stand User: Yes, Morberis is the User of the Stand; Pacemaker.
Quotes: "Although I admit my bedside manner may leave something to be desired, I can assure you without hesitation that you are in safe hands."
"Victus quoque rationem ad aegrotantium salutem pro facultate, judicioque meo adhibebo, noxamvero et maleficium propulsabo."
Their Goal: Despite his solitary and antisocial nature, Morberis has always viewed the assistance of the injured as his highest priority, the Stand User making sure to make rounds through the wards each day in order to augment the healing of new arrivals with his Stand. Beyond that, Morberis still retains some curiosity about the meaning and origins of his Stand, and is certainly interested in meeting another User to discuss its true purpose.
Their Secret: Morberis knew from his youthful years that he was meant to study medicine, gifted as he was with a Stand that allowed him to accelerate the healing of others. As much as he might appear confident in his skills, the surgeon secretly wonders whether his surgical abilities are down to him or simply another product of his Stand, as he frequently uses it to steady his hands and augment his precision mid-operation.
Weaknesses: Physically unimpressive and low in stamina, due to his frequent chain-smoking. Intensely uncomfortable in, and ill-equipped for, social situations. Hates improvisation or acting without significant pre-planning, and has considerable difficulty bringing himself to harm others without exceedingly good reason.
Strengths: Incredibly dextrous and precise, well-versed in medical procedures and diagnosis, skilled cardiologist and surgeon. Analytical, perceptive, patient and meticulous to a fault.
Bio: Raised by two doting if overly protective parents, Morberis was never a sociable child, spending more time with his 'imaginary friend' than he did with others his age, isolated further by his strange name and appearance, and never growing out of questioning everything around him.
The pale and frequently wide-eyed young boy made his interest in medicine known from an extremely early age, his natural desire to help others and alleviate pain driving him to devote himself further to his studies with very passing year, eventually leading him to gain a scholarship to a prestigious university.
Once again Morberis was happy enough in his studies and hobbies that he made no real friends among his peers, his successes in study and practical experience volunteering at various hospitals and aged-care wards allowing him to land a position of relative importance within an affluent private hospital in his home city, even despite his youth.
Since then the doctor has risen to some subtle prominence as a little-known but much-appreciated surgeon for the practice, specialising in cardiothoracic surgery and trailed by a spotless record of successful operations and remarkably swift recovery times. Perfectly polite if withdrawn and antisocial, Morberis is known among the staff largely for his strange tendency to make the rounds each and every day, to welcome and offer his condolences to injured patients in his normal, quiet, uncomfortable manner.
