Dr. Schmitt

Dr. Schmitt is a mad scientist that is not directly related to any of the "main" cast of characters, but is still frequently visited by one or multiple of them. First appears in page 61 of the comic, and continues to do so to the present, though sporadically.

**Physical Features**

Dr. Schmitt was originally human in his first appearance, but has instead taken on the form of a fennec fox. The reason for this is that his eyes appear especially anime-like, but as a fennec, they would be considered normal for the species. Despite being a fennec, he is just as tall as every other character, if not more so due to the ears. He is transformed extremely infrequently, if at all, and when he is, it is usually to a tauric or female state.

Despite claiming that he is not mentally affected by the long-term transformation, he still ironically displays animalistic habits, like lapping up tea, scratching himself with his legs, and leaping into leaf piles.

**Personality**

Dr. Schmitt, despite being a mad scientist, considers himself a lot more sane than others. In fact, he's stated on several occasions that he is the only sane man. This may not entirely be true, but he is one of the most calm characters in the comic, even among those who aren't mad. He is quite polite to any guests he may have, though often accidentally transforms them anyways.

To most, he is extremely amicable, but an exception is made towards the captain. He is often approached for assistance, and will always provide it, though not always in a short amount of time. Unlike Celia, he holds great stock in the importance of both research and knowledge, and his advanced lab reflects this. One odd effect of this is that he refuses to acknowledge the existence of magic, instead regarding it as a phenomenon not truly understood by science *yet*.

Dr. Schmitt will often cackle, despite being, as he says, the only sane man. Don't we all?

**Talents/Abilities**

Dr. Schmitt has the ability to change the weather to a thundering rain simply by explaining his current plan and/or cackling. This is occasionally to his detriment, as the foul weather is not great for many things. A great excuse to hole up in his castle, perhaps.

**Occupation**

Dr. Schmitt is a mad scientist, specializing in biology. Not "transform you with a laser and potion" biology, but actual biology, with DNA and the machines to prove it. He has used these machines on several occasions, for a variety of reasons, including attempting to determine why Vivian cannot be transformed, creating various pathogens, and creating Eegor.

**Relationships With Other Characters**

Lukas - Is friendly towards him, and they usually get along quite well, both due to Dr. Schmitt's peaceful and calm-loving tendencies, and his love for tea. Dr. Schmitt is the only mad scientist that Lukas truly enjoys the presence of at all times.

Celia - Quite amicable and friendly towards her, despite her constant chaos. Is happy to fulfill her various requests that involve science, research, or testing in some way.

Geenie - Amicable, but refuses to accept the existence of magic, creating somewhat of a rift between them, and the source of a few disagreements.

Mark - Has not had a significant number of interactions, and those that they did have were mainly amicable and generic.

Vivian - Had few interactions after attempting to discover the reason for her invulnerability. Generally friendly the few times they have met.

Captain - Despises the captain just as much as if not more than Lukas, wishing to distance himself as much as possible from him. However, he doesn't wish to be impolite and cause a ruckus even despite his hate, causing him to often wear an amicable expression while physically bleeding from the eyes in the captain's presence.

The Men In Black - Is one of the mad scientists under their wing, but doesn't show disdain towards them. Has, on a few occasions, accepted their requests and worked with them, one such occasion being the extraction and testing of magic tree sap.

Eegor - Is Eegor's creator, and considers himself his father. Has always treated him with love and care, as he claims "So that he can focus on battle rather than his own problems". Has generally given him free reign, and shown pride when Eegor gained fame from one of his stunts, thereby making him the first mad scientist in the comic to be able to even claim to have taken over the world.

Mary and Andora - Despite their troublesome personalities, he gets along well with them, even allowing them to stay in his castle when they have nowhere else to go. This is likely due to the fact that his preferred form is a fennec fox, and therefore doesn't contradict with any of their goals. He won't actively hinder their plans (or any scientist's plan, for that matter), and has on occasion accepted requests to help them.
