Hi Dr. Nick!*"*

—Dr. Nick's usual greeting and it's usual response.

## Physical Description

### **Hair colour**

Black

Dr. Nick Riveara, who’s official rank is Genetor, is a tech priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus who gained a somewhat embarrassing fascination, beyond the simple workings of the body and standard biology, to become what was known as in more archaic times a doctor. Making his own office in the small town hive city of Sprungfeld on planet Orgun, he is in truth a quack doctor, and equally as poor at machines due to not paying attention during training.

Despite this, he is famous among the people of Sprungfeld due to a excellent advertising campaign, and as Sprungfeld has a population with many amenities, his televised operations attract thousands of viewers. No matter the mood, whenever he walks into a room or greets someone he will say “Hi Everybody!” To which, no matter the sayers mood, they will always respond with “Hi Doctor Nick!”

## Misadventures

* **Doctor Nick In: Settling in Sprungfeld** - Dr. Nick finished studied at Mars, and got his degree in Biology. This was not earned of course, he had undergone the whole training to be popular with the ladies. Being kicked off of mars after failing to repair a toaster, he was set adrift in the galaxy. He returned to his home planet Orgun and went to the town of Sprungfeld. He set up a clinic for repairing mechanical limbs, despite the fact he feared blood and didn’t know how the body worked. But, he would soon get a customer due to his crack advertising campaign, “If you die you don’t pay” and “No need to tell us where it came from” and the first Hi Dr Nick commercials. His first customer came. Large Leoni. Unknown to Dr Nick of the local crime syndicate, which explained the bullet wounds. It is here Dr Nick found his true passion, not in machines, but in the human body. Leoni somehow made a perfect recovery due to Nick’s work and was back on the street in no time. Despite his first customer being a criminal, it gave Nick the start of a good reputation, and confirmed his ambitions to become a doctor.

* **Dr Nick In: Care Bear Cousins** - One day Dr Nick was hanging around his office, doing small business when strange visitors came in. Space Marines! He quickly hid his equipment and went out to meet them...and they took their helmets off. The leader introduced himself as Birthday Bear, and told him that they would spare his town, as they had found it somewhat pretty, if he could create something beautiful. Dr Nick accepted. They gave him a vial of a magic potion, and told him what they wanted. Some kind of super that he could inject with it to make them friends to hug, love, and call George. They then left. Dr Nick had no idea where to start, there were barely any animals in Sprungfeld and none he could use. Then he had a idea. The pet cemetery. Doctor Nick ventured to the cemetery and began digging up the corpses of various pets and putting choice parts into a bag. As he did so late at night, a little girl passed by. Liza, a local Sororitas in training. He greeted her with his famous “Hi Everybody!” before running for safety. In his office he put them together and injected them....and his office exploded into sparkles. A failure. He decided he would have to grab some animals through any means necessary, and he may know the guy. Late at night he snuck into Droe’s Tavern, a tavern run by Mr. Droe. Droe was suspected to have illegal animals smuggled in through the back, and Doctor Nick needed animals. He made a deal with Droe behind close doors, took a lion, a raccoon, and a elephant into his office. Injecting them with the option they became humanoid and strong....the care bear cousins. They were very, very pretty. He showed them to his care bear clients who happily went off world, leaving him with valuable sparkles as payment, as well as a T-Shirt out of they're powerful T-Shirt Cannon. All in a day’s work for Doctor Nick.

* **Dr Nick in: The Man with a Arm for a Leg**  - Dr Nick is, while well meaning, is a quack with no qualifications to be a doctor and barely any to be a engineer. And one day, a wounded imperial man needed his help. Mr Mcgreg. Dr Nick was running late, at a diner. But he heard the call and rushed to the hospital, wiping off his equipment with a napkin as he ran. He found Mr Mcgreg and rushed him to a operating table. Without letting Mcgreg speak, he looked to the two wounded areas. The arm and the leg. He had been working on a experiment to graft arms to legs. This would remove pain in both transferred limbs, along with all other feeling. Dr Nick, of course, decided that this would be the best course of action and swapped his arm and his leg. Mr Mcgreg was knocked out from medical drugs, the required money taken and sent home before he could speak. Dr Nick saw it as a success, and made a advertisement stating 75 percent off arm and leg injuries. People rushed to his office and he copied the Mcgreg surgery many times, leading to a small community of people with a leg for a arm and a arm for a leg. Mr Mcgreg became the new abhumans leader, and plotted against the foolish doctor who had botched his surgery so very hard.

* **Dr Nick In: The Stonecutters**  - Nobody knows, but in secret Sprungfeld is led by a secret society of Tzeentch, the exclusive organization of the Stonecutters. It is they who are responsible for the Mechanicus constantly forgetting knowledge, they deem it too powerful and take it. Dr Nick was very interested, but the only way to get in was to save the life of of a Stonecutter, or be the son of a Stonecutter. Nobody knew of its suspicious aspects, Nick just learned from a friend, who was a member, that being in it gives many benefits. He saved the life of one who came into his hospital, 34, as each was known by a number and not a name. His expert ability to replace his heart with that of a Grox saved him. Dr Nick was this able to be recruited, and so he joined. He loved being part of the society for a time, drinking every single day and numerous benefits like comfy chairs. Then he heard of its Tzeentchian aspects. He was already doing too many suspicious stuff, he knew he needed to leave. But he couldn’t. After declaring his intentions to leave, they turned hostile. Chaining him to a rock and leaving him in the center room as an example. When the members retired to their homes from the temple, they left Nick. He needed to escape. He didn’t know what to do. Then he remembered. He was a doctor! With his mouth he dexterously took some painkillers from his pocket and used them. With his newfound lack of pain he dragged the rock all the way outside the building and broke the chain...And returned to the hospital. They wore off and he found himself unable to move and half dead. But he had to get rid of the Stonecutters before they came for him. Dialing up both the Arbites and the Mafia he sent them to the Stonecutter headquarters to take them out. It was gone, and furthermore the mafia and arbites began fighting. Doctor Nick had done his part, but could no longer move. In fact, his left arm was essentially dead. After a long and arduous healing process involving many more painkillers, he replaced it with a robotic one. For the rest of his life, he would have to watch out for the Stonecutters and their leader, the dreaded Number One.

## Personality

Dr Nick tries, a little to be good but his morals can be somewhat dubious. It is obvious what he does is illegal and he has no medical, and very little mechanical knowledge making his procedures erratic and prone to failure. He is quite dull despite his rank, and previous failures include pumping oil into a human and Mr. Mcgreg.

He deeply enjoys the fame provided by his office and lets it convince him that he is in fact a good doctor and engineer, professions which for him are usually one in the same. He is rarely unhappy and takes everything in his stride, with ego and confidence to match. This leads him to be generally loved by the public for his happy attitude, which causes them to turn a blind eye to his terrible malpractices.

## Appearance

Dr Nick’s appearance is notable due to its cartoonish, outlandish appearance. His head is large and yellow with huge features and a beard, lacking both the usual technology surrounding the head of a tech priest. As a native of Argentown who was shipped off to mars, he inherited the genetic mutation possessed by most people of Orgun. Known as Simpitas it is a congenital genetic trait of unknown origin. Otherwise he dressed as is standard for a tech priest, along with various doctor supplies within his many many pockets. His left arm is robotic, due to it being lost in a incident with the Stonecutters. He had a small device on his chest which can give medical readings of his patient and function as a radio, and is commonly trailed by his servo skull camera.

## Enemies

* **Mr. Mcgreg, the man with a leg for a arm and a arm for a leg**  - Mr. Mcgreg, known as the man with a leg for a arm and a arm with a leg, is a strong former wrestler of Sprungfeld. He was one of the first botched procedures of doctor Nick, who went on to make the same mistake many times. That mistake being binding a arm where a leg should be and vice versa. He would go on to lead the small community of them and their children, leading the whole small a human race. While Dr. Nick treats him with his usual cheerfulness, Mcgreg treats him with admittedly deserved anger. Mcgreg is a constant opposition to the continuation of Nick’s medical practices and is always looking for a opportunity to damage him and his reputation.

* **Number One** - The sinister sorcerous leader of the stonecutters, Number one is a champion of tzeentch known for his tall size, robes and old features. His sorcery works in mysterious ways, not always obvious, influencing the thoughts and minds of people around him to make them More susceptible to his lies. His sinister schemes brought him into conflict with Dr. Nick, and the price of this is his eternal hatred for the Docter. Number one wants Sprungfeld to be his once more, and for the whole galaxy to fear the Stonecutters.

## Allies and Acquaintances

* **Large Leoni** - Large Leoni is the leader of the Mafia Crime Syndicate of Sprungfeld, who was incidentally healed by Nick on his first attempt at being a doctor. Leoni is a man of many flaws, but had his own code of honor, and is this indebted to Nick. If Nick ever needs a favor that only the touch of crime can solve, or need something hidden, he calls on Leoni who is happy to help. Leoni is rivals with the lead Adeptus Arbite chief, Grugrum, and is always looking for ways to challenge his power, sometimes getting Nick caught up into his schemes.
