Background/Bio

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.
