Name: Sir Reginald Hartfordshire His Majesty's Pride Columbo
Codename: Doc
Affiliation: The Limestone Street Legionnaires
Rank: Medic, Comic Relief (unofficial)
Sex: Male.
Breed: Chinese Crested (Hairless).
Age: 12.
Personality: Doc is a refined English gentleman, preferring to be called by his full name or, at the least, Sir Reginald. It annoys him to no end that the other Legionnaires prefer to call him "Doc," as he sees that as what he is and not who.
Doc's vast medical knowledge stems from his owner, a veterinarian on the verge of retirement, who has spent many years reading his medical journals and texts aloud in his study for Doc to hear.
Doc serves as a mentor for many of the younger dogs, who rely on his experience and clinical nature to help untangle the messes they find themselves in. He is a crucial member of the Legionnaires, as they all count on him to keep them alive when injured and to patch up any outsiders they find that need help.
Many of said strangers assume that Doc is Chinese and tend to speak in a slow, loud, deliberate manner upon their first meeting, not sure that he even speaks English. Doc will calmly wait for the stranger to finish and then berate them with a few, perfectly pronounced, words.
Important Relationships:
Echo: Doc sees the dalmatian female as his fellow support-staffer. He knows the spotted dog takes great risks relaying messages to the Legionnaires and respects her for her calm nature and etiquette. She is, in his eyes, "a true lady."
Shield: The other support-staffer, Shield is an upright, by-the-book dog who relates to Doc as someone else who prefers reserved, careful judgment over rash decision-making. Doc has named Shield an "Honorary Knight of the British Empire," and calls him "Sir Shield."
Hadrian: Doc has a soft-spot for Hadrian, knowing more than any of the others about the General's past. Hadrian often goes to Doc when his old injuries begin bothering him and even occasionally to discuss the nightmares that wake him in the night. Doc will never reveal Hadrian's personal hang-ups and ailments to anyone, ever.
Hocus: Doc wouldn't consider Hocus a rival, because that would, in his mind, be giving the Scrapyard dog far too much credit. Hocus practices "that ridiculous Voodoo-Shaman-Holistic nonsense," and Doc firmly believes the other dog does more harm than good.
...
Try-out Scenarios: PM these to Neighborhood Watch and/or post them here. All auditions must be at least 3 paragraphs in length, spell-checked, and grammatically sound. You don't have to be perfect, but at least proof-read your work!
-Doc treating the injuries of one of the Legionnaires.
-Doc repeatedly reminding Josephine that his name is "Sir Reginald."
-Doc confronting Hocus about his "nonsensical mumbo-jumbo."
-Doc talking Hadrian through a particularly bad bout of nightmares.
That's it! If you win the character, I will PM you to let you know and you can start getting him registered and set-up in the Yellow Pages. After that, roleplay! (YAAAY!)
' Heheh.
