Bio:
“Relax… I be a Doctor…” – Rha’lak ‘Doc’ Dovekk
Rha’lak ‘Doc’ Dovekk was born and raised in Alliance Nebraska, and was often seen as something of an anomaly by his family. From a young age he seemed to take an interest in medicine and becoming a doctor, rather than learning how to become an Operator like his parents. This didn’t mean that he didn’t love to play and fight with his siblings just like any normal Grackle Tooth; but he didn’t share their aspirations. When he was 16, Rha’lak found another Grackle Tooth who like him was interested in medicine and he took him under his wing and began teaching him in the arts of becoming a doctor. The older Grackle Doctor was called ‘Gunther’ and told Rha’lak that he needed to train him to be a doctor so that he could be the final member they needed to officially found the Grackle Tooth Medical Association (GTMA). Nothing really more than just a social club of Grackle Doctors, Rha’lak grew tired of their passive views of the world which conflicted with the adventurous heart he inherited from his parents.
Now a fully-fledged Medical Doctor, Rha’lak took on the nickname ‘Doc’ and returned home to his parents and told them that now he had the skills to save people he would become the adventurer they always wanted him to be. This decision took him to the Noble Association of Adventuring Grackle Tooth; where he signed up as an official member and submitted an application expressing his interest to join an adventurer group who needed a trained doctor and/or heavy weapons guy; as he like most Grackle Tooth loved the roaring fire of railguns and rockets. It didn’t take too long before he had gotten a reply from a group who were looking for a guy like him. At first they were more than a little concerned at the idea of an 8’2” tall killing machine also being their doctor but their worries were soon eased as they realized that Doc was actually a professional doctor.
Upon leaving his parents to start his adventuring life, Doc’s parents gave him their ‘leaving home’ present; a customized Golden Age Weaponsmith’s APC which had the interior retrofitted to become a battle ambulance and portable medical base.
Unfortunately for Doc, the adventuring group he was with failed to ever achieve anything or do anything reckless or heroic; instead their idea of being an ‘adventuring group’ was really not much more than a glorified road trip around the safest parts of North America.
The feeling of his unsatisfied wanderlust and spirit of true adventuring led him to leave the group he was with and set out on his own path alone until he finds a group who crave the same danger and adventure that he does.
