Name: Karen Bruch
Age: 37
Gender: Female

Appearance: Karen stands at 5'9", with a broad-shouldered, somewhat muscled build. She has black hair, just under shoulder-length, that tends towards the unkempt, and has seemingly-perpetual bags under her bloodshot black eyes. Her body contains a fairly large collection of wounds, both from fights and other sources. She dresses all in black, favoring an ill-fitting, untidy, and tattered suit-and-tie. She even replaces the traditional white doctor's coat with a black trench coat whenever she thinks she can get away with it (or when she just doesn't care, which is far more common). Hidden in her pockets, always within easy reach, is a pair of brass knuckles. Additionally, there is a lit cigarette in her mouth at almost all times.

She is rarely seen without her black doctor's bag, which contains various medicines and instruments of her trade. Her staff is a rough, knotted, and twisted piece of dense black wood with brass bands on either end. The knob at the top, instead of the usual glass or gemstone, is a large brass sphere, clearly showing more than a few chips and scratches.

Background: Karen was a rising star of medicine in her youth. She studied at the best medical academy in the country. While there, she discovered that washing wounds and instruments in alcohol greatly reduced incidences of infection, for which she was made a full surgeon two years before her peers.

But like all the brightest stars, she burned out quickly. After leaving school, she came face to face with the darker side of the medical profession: the bribery, the extortion, the hospital politics and gossip. She tried to fight it at first, but the young idealist rarely changes the world, and she was no different. Day by day, year by year, the inability to make any meaningful changes, coupled with the lack of advancement stemming from her meddling where she wasn't wanted and her reputation as a street brawler and pit fighter, ground at her until nothing was left but an apathetic shell held together by alcohol and tobacco.

Karen had become the very thing she hated.

Equipment: Staff, brass knuckles, doctor's bag
Role/Specialty: White Mage. One who knows how to fight.

Level: 5
Abilities:

  • Glandular Stimulation: Level 2

    • Hemostasis: Encourages blood to coagulate, healing minor wounds.
    • Adrenaline Rush: Increases the production of adrenaline in the target, causing minor healing (effect is lesser than Hemostasis), reduced sensitivity to pain, and increased aggression.

  • Panacea: Level 1 - Not much of a panacea, really (yet). Heals poison, though.
  • Street Brawl: Level 2

    • Karen learned to fight on the streets, and one of the first things she learned, before she even understood anatomy, was that you go for the kidneys and liver if you want your opponent to stay down, especially if you've got a pair of brass knuckles. Her medical training only made her more effective at this.
    • A well-placed uppercut can be the difference between victory and pain. It's hard to fight with a broken jaw, after all.
