@Apocallama you'd expressed interest in this at some point. You're welcome to join! I'm going to keep accepting CSs (well, within reason) until the crew actually lifts off. Post a CS and we'll see how it looks!

Borrowed Rissa's format. :-)

VICTORIA HAWKINGS
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 136 lbs

WORK HISTORY
Though she isn't particularly nurturing for the only physician aboard a space travelling vessel, Hawkings has impressed in the past year she's joined Reach Out Freights. It's been recognized that she has yet to encounter a medical problem she could not fix, though she is on record attributing this feat to fact that critical injuries are rarities on the ship. Hawkings hasn't interacted much with others members of the company outside monthly check-ups and seems complacent with her current work/position. Encouragement or some form of a motivational boost might be required in the near future.

PSYCH EVAL
Phobias/Fears/Anxieties:
For the purposes of the psychological evaluation, Victoria Hawkings has revealed her biggest fear to be complete isolation. Upon further background inspection it was revealed that Hawkings was adopted when she was three and was subjected to severe levels of neglect and child abuse at the hands of her adoptive parents. Reportedly she was beaten regularly when failing to do home tasks and would, at times, be locked away in the trunk of her mother's car when she cried too much. Due to her background, the physician also suffers from claustrophobia and PTSD. She is also on record for having an abortion at the age of twenty two and while she acknowledged it as truth, she refused to talk to company representatives any further on the subject when inquired.

Personality Strengths and Weaknesses:
During her time in the company, Hawkings has shown to be socially reserved. She is careful with whom she speaks and does not like to be at the center of socially-charged events within the freighters she serves on. Despite this, Hawkings holds herself with a quiet confidence that has gained the admiration of some of those serving with her over the past twelve months.

She isn't particularly outwardly caring however and some employees have reported that she seems awfully pessimistic and closed off for the person who is specifically in charge of rehabilitating and healing their injuries. When questioned on this, the physician preferred to identify herself as a realist.

Noted Strengths
1: Dedication - While at work, Hawkings has displayed utmost commitment and persistence in whatever situation, be it large or small, she is put in.
2: Skilled - Hawkings not only went through all the necessary academical requirements for her field, but she excelled. Her prowess shows in how she operates.
3: Intelligence - In regards to her medical ability, Hawkings has also shown levels of intellect and reasoning that go beyond what is needed for her position.


Noted Weaknesses
1: Detached - As noted by some employees, Hawkings isn't particularly sociable and often comes off as a bit cold and aloof.
2: Triggers - Discussed later in detail during this report, there are certain circumstances that can lead to the breakdown of ability and mental capacity of the physician.
3: Untrained - While she might keep physically fit in her spare time, Hawkings has zero combat training and would need to be protected or taught were an unorthodox situation arise.

Mental Fortitude and Ability To Handle Disturbances:
For the most part, Hawkings did well in various scenarios and stress tests. There were a few anomalies however that presented some glaring concerns. In the scenarios she performed well in, the physician faced the presented situations with the same quiet confidence noticed by her coworkers and dealt with them as effectively as she could.

The scenarios in which she performed poorly in, the observers likened her to a whole different woman. Any test or scenario that had her in either an enclosed space, darkness, or isolated critically hindered her ability to function and operate. This was heavily noted before she had been hired on and because of the severity of how certain situations affected her she was rated a 12 out of 20 in mental fortitude.

WRITING SAMPLE
For a moment, the freighter's lights went completely out. Victoria Hawkings was where she usually could be found. She was within the small medical bay built into the cargo ship and was hard at work examining the data she collected from the most recent batch of monthly check ups. What she was looking at had been concerning; the employee's liver would be hitting critical levels of damage if he didn't stop drinking so much on the side like she had advised last month.

But when she was suddenly plunged into darkness she could care less about his inclination towards alchol. While she could hear the engineers outside the facility rushing to figure out what had gone array, Hawkings sat on the floor of the lab with her legs held up against her chest. Her breathing grew harder and she had to remind herself to calm down.

She felt like she was back in that cursed trunk where the heat made it hard for her to breath, where the small space made each and every one of her joints ache, and where the darkness completely swallowed her. No one heard her as she cried. More times than not the concept of time would have been lost to her by the time her mother came and let her out. Sometimes it'd be seven hours before she felt light again.

But unlike the trunk, the light came back ten minutes later and Victoria found herself sitting on the floor of a space travelling ship -- far from her childhood home back on Earth. A pair of engineers bursted into her office before the physician even had time to stand up. One of them had burned himself when the lights turned off in the middle of his repairs. For a moment, Hawking stared at him blankly as she recovered from the memories that still tortured her but then she snapped back into reality. Quickly, she helped the injured man to the medical bed and applied lidocaine, an anesthetic, to the affected area. Her mind suddenly thought about the scorching heat in the trunk as she examined the burn but she shook it from her thoughts. She had work to do.

"Leave us." She told the other engineer as she pulled the mask hanging around her neck up and over her mouth. "Your friend will be fine, I'll make sure of it."

Haven't heard from y'all for this RP for a bit. Y'all still onboard? I'm occupied IRL until around 3/7, at which point I'm going to get things a moving. Please let me know if y'all intend to keep with the RP.
 
Yeah, I'm still in this, sorry for the delay.
