Eden October

:"Don't worry about bothering me - doctors always have a lot of patients! Like- patience? Ha, ha. A little medical humour. But yes, I am very busy..." - October lightening the mood.
Dr. Eden October is the UNWD's head of medical staff and head medic. They have an odd ability to turn into a sentient liquid medicine and scope out their patients' bodies, and can heal patients in this way, but at the cost of their own body's integrity. 
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
They are of middling height. They wear many layers of loose scrubs to obscure their figure, with the top layer being dark purple and the underscrubs being grey-blue and green. They wear a green scarf with the UNWD insignia, a grey-blue labcoat, and gloves. Their trousers have the UNWD insignia on the thigh.
Their most notable feature is the bandages wrapping their decaying face, with dark glasses covering their eyes and a medical mask. They sometimes wear novelty medical masks to cheer themselves up.
In their pre-2021 references, they did not wear a scarf, and had a backwards UNWD insignia on their left breast.
=== Personality ===
Dr. October is friendly and caring, although somewhat nervous and jittery, seeming slightly out of it. They ask a lot of questions but do not give a lot of answers. They do make medical jokes and like to try and keep things light, despite their acute awareness of morality and deep depressive swings. They are extremely self-conscious, especially of their deteriorated appearance. 
They enjoy philosophical debate or discussion, board games, simple party tricks and crime thriller audiobooks. 
=== Abilities ===
They possess the ability to turn into a liquid and enter a patient's body. If they do not remain in the patient's body for long, they can analyse damage on a fine scale. If they do remain in the patient's body for an extended amount of time, they can speed up the healing rate. Speeding up a patient's healing rate causes their own body to deteriorate.
They did not reveal this ability until long into their time in the UNWD, when the deterioration of their physical form became too much to ignore.
== History ==
Dr. October speaks little of their past, or how they acquired their power. All that is known is that they helped the casualties of natural disasters- namely tidal waves, tsunamis and floods- while on a disaster response team. They joined the UNWD after having to be rescued from a flooded city by UNWD agents.
== Trivia ==
* In liquid form, they are dark blue and very cold, with a very high boiling point. The cold is discomforting to them, and can cause their humanoid form to become stiff, so they bundle up regardless of weather.
* Their liquid form tastes of blackcurrant. A sample is kept in Loch & Keye Containment and Storage.
* Their appearance is somewhat similar to that of the typical Invisible Man, with the completely obscured features.
