techpire• Character Name: Timothy Cosgrove
• Nickname / Alias: The Other, The Surgeon
• Date of Birth: February 12, 1880
• Place of Birth: Cambridge, England
• Residence: London, England
• General Appearance: As a ghost, he looks like his host. When he was alive, he was tall, with red hair and blue eyes. Overall very neat appearance, and hardly ever seen in casual clothing.
• Clothing Choices: He usually wears suits or doctors' garb along with a mask that covers at least half of his face and full gloves.
• Hair Style: His current host has long hair, and Timothy prefers to keep it neatly pulled back and up off his collar.
• Handedness: Left-handed
• Jewelry: Dog tags.
• Tattoos / Marks: He had no tattoos in life and usually covers up tattoos and removes any body jewelry of his host when he's in control.
• Key Relationships: Mike Smith - His current host. Mike is a new Templar recruit who is oddly attuned to Timothy. The ghost prefers using him as a host because he can control him for hours at a time and use his own magic through Mike. Also because of Mike's bee-status, he is unlikely to get Mike killed accidentally.
• Education: Graduated from Cambridge and studied medicine when he joined the army. Timothy is fluent in English, French, German, and Latin. He finds modern techology fascinating and can use computers and modern smartphones.
• Work History: Graduate of Cambridge School of Medicine. Studied medicine further in the army. Worked for both the Templars and the Royal Army for many years before being killed in action in a trench in France in World War I.
• Skills: Medicine, both conventional and magical. Strong blood magic user. Also skilled with knives and swords. Due to academic background, he is also skilled in research.
• Phobias / Fears: Claustrophobia
• Bad Habits / Vices: Forgetful, also tends to avoid communication with his hosts.
• Quirks: Enjoys radio programs and classical music. Does not like watching TV. Doesn't like communicating with his hosts.
• Best Qualities: Usually honorable and helpful.
• Worst Qualities: Notorious for ignoring orders if they don't agree with what he thinks needs to be done.
• Key Childhood Experiences: Grew up in Cambridge as the youngest of three boys. His father was a professor at the college and instilled in all of them a thirst for knowledge.
• Key Teenage Experiences: Married at the age of seventeen to a merchant's daughter. Had two kids before he finished medical school. Worked nights in a pub to help pay the bills while he finished school.
• Key Adult Experiences: Joined the Templars at the age of twenty-three when it became clear his talent for healing was not just the good application of conventional means of healing. He'd swallowed a bee sometime the previous year and the magic amplified his own innate talent. At the age of 24, he joined the Royal Army and began training further as a combat medic. At the age of 37, he died in a trench in France during World War I. His spirit was bound to his dog tags by another Templar and returned to Temple Hall. The ghost is able to possess those who wear the dog tags and often uses this to continue helping where he's needed.
• Sexual Background: Heterosexual but usually celibate. He was married when he was alive and had two kids, but lost track of his family after his death.
• Favorites:
• Goals and Motivations: Enjoys helping people. Very interested in the practice of medicine and the research of supernatural medical phenomena.
• Morality / Ethics: Highly honorable and adheres to a strict code of conduct. Considers himself a noncombatant and semi-neutral party in the Secret War due to his status as a doctor and does not engage in activity to harm other factions without a strong reason.
• Style of Speech: Definite Cambridge accent no matter which host he's using or which language he's speaking.
• Words/Slang/Jargon: Uses British slang, often very out of date with slang used currently.
