Doug Graves

Living on the Edge

Doug Graves is a character role-played by Voroc1. (on break from streaming)

## Description

Doug is a great person to be friends with and an enemy you don't want to make. He doesn't make friends easily, but when he does, he'll go to the ends of the earth for them, especially for the one he holds most dear. As for his closest confidant and best friend, he has vowed to never lie to them and now has a habit of oversharing. He has a known dark side to him and an edge that hasn't been seen, but he would never do anything to hurt those closest to him. When confronted with a task that he doesn't know how to handle, he has a bad habit of overthinking his options and/or what to say, which has made others not trust him as they think he is hiding things.

## Background Information

Doug was born and raised in a small town in eastern Maryland. He was an only child and somewhat of a loner throughout his primary school career. His father was with the town's fire department, often working 24-hour shifts and then spending his time off either at the fire house or out with his buddies. His mother worked at a local grocery store and often worked from open to close.

Upon graduating from high school and not having a direction in life, he took a job as an apprentice to the town's only mortician. He also started dating and later married his high school girlfriend. When he was 20, he became a father and took over as the town's mortician when the former mortician passed away. During the following three years, he started working towards a medical undergrad degree at a university in the nearest city.

During his 23rd year, he lost both of his parents to arson. The grocery store that his mother worked at was set on fire, his father was on shift and when he went to rescue his wife, the ceiling collapsed and both Doug's mother and father died of smoke inhalation. As the town's mortician, he had to prepare and bury the bodies. He sought revenge against the arsonist and achieved it within a week of the fire that killed his parents. After shooting up the rural house the arsonist lived in, the following day, the bodies of the arsonist, his wife and daughter showed up at the mortuary. (His wife had been cheating on him with the arsonist.) Seeing the dead bodies of his wife and daughter broke Doug and he fled the town, moving to Illinois in the hopes of starting a new life as a full-time medical student.

After 5 years, he finished up his medical degree and started his residency. However, during his residency, another resident was responsible for the deaths of two patients and in passing made jokes about how he could have saved them, but because they were both drug addicts, they were not worth being saved. This horrified Doug, feeling as though he had already experienced enough death and grief for one life-time, and he ended up killing the resident via a lethal injection of euthanasia drugs. When he realized what he had done, he fled Illinois for Los Santos, hoping to once again, have a fresh start on life as an EMT or Doctor at Pillbox.
