Jeremiah Carson Vostok (called ‘JC’ by his friends) is a tall, athletic individual with a shaved head and eyes the color of emeralds. At 30, he could still pass for someone in their early twenties.  His favorite manner of dress is a t-shirt, combat boots and military cargo pants. Born in the core, JC was the only son of a wealthy family. As such, he got all the chances he could and wound up attending the premier MedAcad on Oracle where he graduated with honors. As he finished his surgical residency on the Border Worlds, the U-war broke out and he found himself serving with the Browncoats as a field surgeon. He made it through the war pretty much intact until the Battle of Serenity Valley. The bodies kept piling in, Browncoat and Alliance, blood choked the OR and suddenly JC felt no call for medicine. After the war, he drifted, providing his skills to various ships not as a medic, but as a cargo handler (seems growing up with a head for math gave him a good feel for fitting boxes and things into limited space). However, his inbred need to heal got the better of him on occasion and he did help patch up a few wounds. Usually right afterwards though, he drifted some more.

Describe your character here
 
 
As he finished his surgical residency on the Border Worlds, the U-war broke out and he found himself serving with the Browncoats as a field surgeon. He made it through the war pretty much intact until the Battle of Serenity Valley. The bodies kept piling in, Browncoat and Alliance, blood choked the OR and suddenly JC felt no call for medicine.
 
 
 
After the war, he drifted, providing his skills to various ships not as a medic, but as a cargo handler (seems growing up with a head for math gave him a good feel for fitting boxes and things into limited space). However, his inbred need to heal got the better of him on occasion and he did help patch up a few wounds. Usually right afterwards though, he drifted some more.
 
 
 
 
 
Ending up on Denso, he was there just a short time before the settlement was attacked by Reavers. The attack was a shock to JC, and he hid himself in a shipping container behind cargo and waited. Days later, when the container was opened, JC was dehydrated and weak from lack of food. Surprisingly, to JC at least, the crew of the Mayfly class ship helped him out even if they didn't completely believe his tale of "mad human-like creatures from the depths of the rim".
 
 
 
Joining the crew, initialy for working passage but later staying on as a full member of the crew, JC found a place to call home. Explaining his medical knowledge as something he had to pick up working on various docks, he kept his true skills hidden for a while. Eventually though, his skill as a surgeon was needed and he found himself hesitating only briefly before again saving lives...
