Ok, been a long time since I worked up a CT character, so here's the
description:
Issac Chowdhury, born of lower middle-class parents, got into med
school, got kicked out of med school in his second year over some
incident he won't talk about unless you get him really drunk,
enlisted in the marines, got additional medical training there on the
basis of his previous qualifications, served as a MASH nurse/
assistant/etc to the docs, (I'm guessing kinda like a nurse
practioner level of training)
He saw combat, most notably while working a frontline aid station
during the retaking of Jewel (it was Jewel the Zho's took, then we
got back, right? I'd have to find my old TNS printout...) anyway,
something like that.
Using Paul Walker's Excel CT generator (books 1-4),
and recalculating until I saw a few with medical, I ended up with:
Marine Lieutenant 5346B8 Age 30 3 Terms Cr 7,000
Admin-1, Computer-2, Cutlass-1, Medical-1, Revolver-1
1xBlade
I'd kick Medical up to 2, and drop Computer to 1 (if it had been 2 he
wouldn't have been caught and kicked out of Med School :-) and trade
Soc for Dex, since a doctor with a low dex doesn't work for long.
B education works as Med school is post secondary. Admin works if he
was working in a hospital-type setting, like a MASH unit. Docs and
med personnel typically have sidearms, hence revolver.
so:
Issac Chowdhury
Marine Lieutenant 5846B3 Age 30 3 Terms Cr 7,000
Admin-1, Computer-1, Cutlass-1, Medical-2, Revolver-1
1xBlade
Sound about right?
The 1xBlade is a war trophy Zho Officer's sword. made of some Zho Damascus Unobtanium type
'light-but-strong' metal. Very nice. Very sharp.
Thanks to his Cutlass-1 he can even swing it around without lopping
off his ear.
Issac is pretty sanguine fellow. His stint in the marines awoke his
inner traveler, so he's bummed around from place to place; with his
med qualifications he can always get good paying temp work.
