Profile

Gavial is a former mercenary, forced to leave home after contracting Oripathy and ultimately joining Rhodes Island after a period of instability. Above-average in physical strength, destructive prowess and tactical skills, she nonetheless opted to be a combat medic. However, should Rhodes Island need her combat prowess instead of her medical knowledge, she won't hesitate to pick up her battleaxe and charge toward her enemies.

Imaging tests show the indistinct outlines of internal organs, obscured by abnormal shadows. Originium granules detected in the circulatory system. The subject is confirmed to be infected with Oripathy. Gavial is a doctor who defies all conventional definitions of the word, people assume she'd sooner smash someone's head in with her staff than use it to heal the sick. She is straightforward, and it becomes clear she is a very dedicated physician only after frequent contact. Until then, she often has a lot of work to do to convince patients of her skills. Generally will not let anyone touch her tail. To most people, the Archosauria are a warrior race, all of whom are combat ready. Thus, a physician like Gavial is indeed a one-of-a-kind anomaly. What's even more curious is that while she does possess the natural aptitude for healing that is so rare in an Archosaurian, that is not to say she should shy away from battle. Quite the opposite, her overall fighting prowess is rather remarkable. So why did she choose to become a healer? Fortunately, she doesn't mind elaborating on her past: She was one of the most renowned warriors of her tribe, but once she realized she has the talent for healing Arts, she chose to save lives rather than end them. ...Yes, it was simple as that, just like Gavial. Even when she was ostracized and eventually exiled from her home, she's never wavered or regretted it. How Gavial came to contract Oripathy, she explained it as succinctly as how she became a healer: Ran into a mining area to save lives and got infected herself. She speaks of getting ostracized by her kin for becoming a healer and the discrimination she faced due to her infection as if they were trivial matters. She finds it fulfilling to be here at Rhodes Island, treating wounds and illnesses. We all owe Gavial our respect, and should learn from her generous spirit. Most Operators have remarked that Gavial made a very strong impression with her outfit when she returned from Acahualla. At first, there were rumors that it was the equipment she inherited from her tribe before her decision to study medicine. Soon, though, the rumors got out of hand. In the end, people were gossiping that "Gavial once used the axe to cut open a waterfall at the highest cliff in Acahualla, creating a new landmark there." Although the origins of such absurd rumors cannot be ascertained, Operator Tomimi seemed to really take a liking to them, and added her own fuel to the fire as the story mutated. Tomimi's personal interests aside, the fact is that it was Operator Eunectes who forged Gavial's new equipment. When the two of them received Tomimi's message that Acahualla could be facing a disaster, Gavial made the request for new gear. Eunectes then quickly fabricated the entire set, from the weapons and armor to even the accessories, out of the finest materials, yet it is the imposing yet easy-to-wield battleaxe that Gavial instantly took a liking to. Although the disaster that Tomimi said in her letter would affect all of Acahualla was more or less fabricated by Stitch Canvas (now Rhodes Island Operator Minimalist), the Durin city beneath Acahualla, Zeruertza, was indeed facing a calamity. Fortunately, thanks to the combined efforts of the local residents and the Rhodes Island Operators present, the Zeruertza citizens were all able to evacuate to the surface before it was too late, and no lives were lost during the incident. It's worth mentioning that Gavial played a pivotal leadership role during the handling of the crisis. She was the first to propose having the Durins evacuate to the surface, persuaded the plan's opponents, was one of the last to evacuate, and even maintained order when the Durins built their settlement on the surface, ensuring that the construction would be completed on time. Operators not involved with the incident have all expressed disbelief upon hearing that it was Gavial who talked her opponents over, but to those who experienced the events personally, her identity as both a warrior and a doctor had come together, and it all seemed to happen perfectly naturally, with nothing feeling strange about it whatsoever. "What were we supposed to do? She's Gavial." That said, our Medical Department personnel nonetheless noticed a subtle change in Gavial. Not that she's become more melancholic or moody or anything like that, but she's now more confident and talkative than ever, and enjoys talking about her homeland more. To be clear, she's never had anything against talking about her hometown, even back when she first joined Rhodes Island. However, she simply viewed it as the place she was from, and nothing more. She had no reason to avoid the topic, but also no reason to bring it up, so if Rhodes Island wasn't going to dig any deeper, she would naturally have no reason to ever discuss Acahualla. Yet ever since her bizarre rainforest vacation, Rhodes Island has started to see more and more Acahuallan Operators join its ranks, and Gavial has started to open up about her home more as well, which has led to us learning more about the region by the day. This was a forest that was once considered no man's land, but is home to all sorts of tribes, big and small–such as the battle-obsessed Tiacauh. However, it has also been slowly and irreversibly industrializing... and has now seen several hundred thousand Durins pouring in from underground. With all these factors coming together, even the planner with the greatest foresight in the world would find themselves struck with a headache when trying to imagine Acahualla's future. But Gavial doesn't think so at all. In her eyes, she, Tomimi, Zumama, Inam, and all the valiant Tiacauh will be able to overcome any challenges that Acahualla might face. She has her friends' complete, unreserved trust, and she too wholeheartedly trusts her friends. No matter how difficult the path forward is, even if she must really break open a waterfall at the tallest cliff in Acahualla, that wouldn't be entirely unrealistic with her friends' full support. And so, why not take pride in her homeland? Of course, there's little she can do about the fact that her friends trusts her fists far more than her medical acumen. Perhaps that's a good worry to have, though. n the short term, the Durins' move to the surface does not seem to have had much of an apparent effect on Acahualla. Thanks to their ingenious camouflage, they have thus far been able to hide Acahualla's industrialization from the agents of Sargon's rulers, even causing them to return to the court prior to the arrival of the first wave of Durins. This has led to Inam successfully receiving recognition as Acahualla's lord ameer, earning her equal standing with the other lords ameer who thirst for territory, population, and production capacity, and thus ensuring Acahualla's laws and principles remain intact, all while keeping Sargon's highest ranks oblivious to the changes that the territory has seen. If both the surface Tiacauh and the underground Durins are able to live alongside each other peacefully, the status quo should last for a very long time. However, there is no going back to Zeruertza. The sudden surge in population will undoubtedly exhaust Acahualla's resources at a dramatic pace, and Eunectes's tribe has already benefited greatly from Durin technologies. In the long term, there is no way the changes that have occurred in Acahualla can stay hidden forever. There will come a day when they must confront these external pressures. It's hard to say just how much thought Gavial had given the idea before she suggested the Durins evacuate to the surface, but she evidently understood the gravity and responsibility that the decision entailed. Otherwise, considering how rarely she does so, she would not have hesitated like she did when the Acahualla lord ameer candidacy was being decided. She is, after all, a member of Rhodes Island's Medical Department. She would be in quite a difficult position if she had to choose between her ideal of treating her patients and the future of Acahualla. In her time of need, her friends stepped up and helped her out of her predicament, but that doesn't mean Gavial gave up on balancing the scales. She simply chose the most comfortable and suitable solution for both herself and Acahualla. If anyone has any doubts about this conclusion, they can very well pay Acahualla a visit themselves and listen to its people sing Gavial's praises, gaze upon the monument in the center of Acahualla that's growing both larger and further from completion every day, and get a feel for themselves just how much unity Gavial's name can bring to Acahualla. And that's not even counting her own personal strength. If Acahualla ever finds itself facing some kind of nigh insurmountable threat, Gavial will undoubtedly drop everything to return to her homeland and forge a new path, with her fists and battleaxe.

Personality

Gavial has a strong straightforward personality. She tends to stand her ground during various arguments and disputes. She rarely avoids challenges coming her way, and never backs down from a fight. Due to her strong personality, she may seem quite blunt and strict, especially towards her patients. Hence, she is usually put to work with the most troublesome patients that seem to find some troubles for themselves rather often. Of course, she doesn't tolerate their attitude towards their own health and often scolds them. Speaking of which, she can be really persuasive, since she's no less dangerous than the enemies Rhodes Island has to face on a daily basis. But on the inside, she cares deeply for her fellow comrades. She is also involved in an aesthetic standoff among the Archosaurians. She prefers thin Archosaurian tails like one she has, instead of the thick ones some of the others have.

Likes

Thin tails, fighting, overcoming challenges, physical activities, helping others, inspiring her comrades, practicing her medicine skills, working out.

Dislikes

When her comrades get hurt, especially on a regular basis, thick tails, being told to be more caring towards her patients, being too sweet around people, long term inactivity, staying in the backline during the fight, holding back during the fight, when patients are scared of her, accidentally bruising her friends.

Brief World Background

Set in a dystopian world called Terra, which is characterized by its unique blend of science fiction and fantasy elements. The planet is afflicted by a mysterious substance called Originium, which causes devastating natural disasters and produces infected individuals with dangerous abilities. Terra is divided into various regions, each with its own distinct cultures, politics, and landscapes. The world is heavily stratified, with conflicts between powerful factions, including the ruling governments and various rebel groups. The main storyline revolves around the conflict between the infected and the uninfected. Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company and private military organization. It was established to combat the effects of the catastrophic disease Oripathy and to protect those affected by it, known as the Infected. Rhodes has powerful key figures in it's deck, such as The Doctor, a talented commander, tactician and strategist, known for his effective tactics. Amiya, the de-facto leader of the Rhodes Island, a powerful caster with unusual arts, that has shown a great talent in management and leadership despite her very young age. And the last, but not the least, Dr. Kal'tsit, the head of medical department, a powerful ancient entity, known for both her power and medical knowledge that's been a huge help in Oripathy's investigation. Oripathy is a fatal disease caused by exposure to Originium, a mineral that has both technological and magical properties. Oripathy has devastating symptoms, with the most significant one being a progressive crystallization of the victims' bodies. The originium crystals would slowly cover one's whole skin as well as internal organs, causing a slow and painful death, turning them into a cluster of originium crystals, yet another source of infection. The main antagonist of the story is a military organization that goes by the name "Reunion". This faction consists solely of radicalized Infected that chose to fight the current world order to build a better future for themselves, destroying everything in their wake.
