beastlybeauty | Doctor's Notes

Justine is the Tributes' physician, so she will meet them all, but I don't have the time to thread out every doctor's appointment, especially when she's just starting out and forcing everyone into a physical.

Here, please make a header comment containing your character's medical history and any attributes that Justine is likely to make note of. Beneath that header, please leave a comment any time your character has a serious enough injury/illness outside of the arena to warrant a visit from the doctor. We can thread these exchanges out, or we can handwave it, whatever works best.

Header:

Full Name: your character's name Approximate Age: If apparent and chronological ages don't match, please make note of that Date of Birth: This can also be approximate. Sex: What sex is your character? Sexually Active? If so, how many partners within the last year?: Yes, she will ask that of anyone thirteen and over. Both an OOC answer and an IC answer are welcome here. If your character is a teenager, a preteen, or below, she will cheerfully ask if they have had their first period/wet dream yet, and what age that happened if they have. Alcohol and frequency thereof: Does your character drink, and if so, approximately how many drinks do they have per week? (If they are alcoholic, this will probably be used against them at some point.) Deaths: Has your character died or been horribly injured yet, and if so, how? Condition: Just give an overview of your character's physical condition. Fit and healthy? Skinny and anemic? Medication: Are they currently taking medication or in therapy? (This also can and will be used against them at some unforeseen point in the future.) Immunizations: Has your character been vaccinated against disease? If not, they may receive shots. Medical history: Have they had any surgeries in the past, or any other kind of major medical procedure? History of Disease: Is your character very resistant or vulnerable to disease? Have they had any major illness before? Are they allergic to anything? Emergency Contact: Who would your character like informed if something happens to them and decisions need to be made? This is Justine's way of feeling out who is important to your character and vice versa, so please elaborate on the relationship. Have they recently experienced any life changes or unusual stress?: Yes, Justine will ask this like it's not obvious. This may or may not just be to screw with her new patients. Special Needs: Do they drink blood instead of food, or do they need an inhaler? Do they take medication or need special attention? Disabling Conditions: Does your character have any physical or mental handicaps? Notable Scars: Any scars or marks (even under clothes) that she will notice? Other Notable Attributes: Please note if they have any other physical trait that she would likely notice. If they have an artificial limb, Justine would have tried opening it up to see how it works, and how would they have responded to that? Demeanor: How would your character act during their physicals, if we haven't threaded it? The full physical will involve getting in those uncomfortable hospital gowns and allowing her to put her hands everywhere like a regular doctor. Are they hostile? Friendly? Are there any psychological strengths or weaknesses you think would jump out at Justine? This is keeping in mind that Justine will be outwardly friendly and flirt with anyone over 21, but will laugh off any requests for a male doctor. Any attempts at attacking her will be met with the room flooding with peacekeepers. Other: Is there anything I missed that you think should be mentioned?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Full Name: Thomas Samuel Eamon "Black Tom" Cassidy
Approximate Age: 52
Date of Birth: February 10th, 19...something...It's Marvel Comics, I'd really just be pulling something out of my ass.
Sex: Male
Sexually Active? If so, how many partners within the last year?: Yes. Many partners, probably at least ten he can list off the top of his head but he's been in prison for a few months so that sort of killed the womanizing thing for a bit.
Alcohol and frequency thereof: Uses alcohol frequently, both socially and alone, somehow avoids being an outright alcoholic although he definitely abuses it.
Deaths: Not yet in Panem.
Condition: Fit and healthy.
Medication: No.
Immunizations: Current standards for international travel as of 2007.
Medical history: Yes, and this is where it gets complicated because Marvel Comics character. Basically, Tom got shot in the face and shoved down an elevator shaft, and underwent an experimental medical procedure where wood-like material was grafted onto his body. Somehow, this was invasive and started to crowd his actual healthy cells and started killing him after a few months of coping well with it, sort of like cancer. From THERE he cut off his hand and replaced it with Deadpool's to try and use the healing factor in Deadpool's blood to slow the change, after much medical "experimentation" by a Dr. Killebrew. This didn't work. He turned into a tree. Then he died. But maybe not. Because comics.

Next time he showed up, he was 100% human again, no grafted material, and his only explanation was "it's a long story". What I headcanon happened is that the tree version of him that died was a doppelganger (which he could canonically create) and that he underwent some more magic medical procedures that killed the plant virus thing and slowly regenerated his own healthy cells via some sort of stem cell healing and/or magic.

Somehow he turned into a tree again at some point, only this time it was a "secondary mutation" because Chuck Austen can't research the canon he's inheriting, but when Wanda removed mutant powers he reverted to 100% human. He also claims he was 100% crazy when he was a tree and had no control over his actions.

Tom also has a limp because his femur was badly broken and ligaments in his leg torn when he was in his twenties. This has not been retconned away.

History of Disease: See above. He's prone to overheating but other than that he's no more or less resistant to disease than the average man his age.
Emergency Contact: No one in Panem. In canon, the Juggernaut.
Have they recently experienced any life changes or unusual stress?: Actually, no.
Special Needs: Occasionally needs a cane. Has high blood pressure.
Disabling Conditions: See leg stuff.
Notable Scars: A few scars on his chest, arms and legs from various clashes with superheroes.
Other Notable Attributes: None.
Demeanor: Tom will act pleasant and friendly enough, but he'll be evidently uncomfortable in a hospital setting; it brings back too many memories of medical torture under Dr. Killebrew. Likely he'll move from amiable to snippy really quickly and show fairly typical signs of stress - quickened pulse, so on..
Other: Nope!
