**Big Doc** was an infamous doctor that traveled around the galaxy, making a reputation for himself on Roalia. He was a member of the Heroes of Khalis, remaining an important doctor across the sector. He was eventually found as the mayor of Yus Ajez on Peldaasa.

## **Biography**

Before dealing in spice, Big Doc lived an alright life. He was born on the backwater world Ord Mantell, but decided he hated the place and left his wife to become a doctor.

### **Early Life**

Born on Ord Mantell, 65 BBY, Big Doc grew up hunting Savrips with his father. At age 3, his father was paralyzed by one Savrip that he managed to kill before being killed himself. Big Doc was forced by his mother to give up hunting, even though he would sneak out at night and go with his friends to kill Savrip.

One night, when Big Doc was 12, he bumped into a Spice Dealer who sold him a stick of Glitterstim. It was his first time using an Illicit drug and he loved it. He began getting involved in the spice dealing process until he was 18 when his fiance found out and told him to stop it. Big Doc worked as a salesman for a local company on Avilatan. One day, he approached his new wife and said that he was leaving her to become a doctor. He and his wife argued about her following him to become a doctor, but Big Doc said he would have to leave. He remained married for the rest of his life.

### **The Doctor**

Big Doc bribed his way into the prestigious Byron College on Alderaan. He came out 8 years later with a doctors degree and was hired instantly on Socorro. After multiple years of working for the company, Big Doc decided it wouldn't hurt to try to use the pills he was prescribing. He wrote a doctors note for himself and kept prescribing diarrhea pills. He spent most of his off time from work getting high. When he overdosed on his medication, the local police had him arrested and fired from his job. It was there he decided to leave and become a doctor for himself. He coined himself the famous name "Big Doc" and raised a riot and broke free from Socorro's prison.

### **Discovering Bushweed**

After having the bounty on his from Socorro at age 31, he decided to create his own spice. He found himself scouring an unknown desert world on the fringes of space which would later be known as Trevor's Tumble. He discovered a plant there known as Vonati. After multiple experimentations with the plant, he made a pill and gel with it. He gave it the name: "Bushweed." He found it was very good at healing cuts and wounds and it was pretty tasty for him to eat. He began dealing bushweed at 4,000 credits a pill.

### **Run-ins with Jedi**

*"I am the princess! And the queen!"*

*"No... I don't think you're either. For starters, you aren't female."*

*"What's that got to do with being a princess and queen."*

*"Fine, who are you the princess and queen of?"*

*"Naboo. Obviously! Ha!"*

-Big Doc and Valo, discussing who Big Doc really is.

Big Doc managed to sneak his way into three Jedi's lives quite often. He became famous for his bushweed and moments of complete confusion.

#### **The Senator's Closet**

During the first assignment of two padawans, Big Doc was discovered hiding in the closet of a senator's apartment. After being arrested by Jedi and Republic authorities, he would later be promised bail as long as he would help the two padawans retrieve the senator after they had failed to protect her.

#### **Return in the Underworld**

On a mission to find a Separatist spymaster named Baku Task, Heyvis Trockz, Valo Sindar, and Ghaa Tabbak where ordered to kill Big Doc. Big Doc had recently been trying to start a business selling Puffer Pigs in Level 5 of Coruscant. However, the three Jedi chose not to kill Big Doc in favor of him helping them in the past. Big Doc was told to disappear and that was exactly what he did.

#### **Clinic on Roalia**

After leaving Coruscant, Big Doc had made his way to Roalia and found home in the local city Khalis. There, he spoke with the mayor, who had broken his arm. Big Doc said he had something that would heal his arm quickly. The mayor decided to try only to feel his arm fully functioning in 30 seconds. He agreed to allow Big Doc to set up a clinic known as "Big Doc's Miracle Latrine" not far from city hall.

After the Heroes of Khalis arrived, Valo, who had recently broken his leg, requested some sort of healing. Big Doc spread his bushweed gel on Valo's leg. Valo was then moving shortly afterward. Big Doc agreed to become one of their allies along with a Clone named Cara, a Wookiee named Chalkurra, and an HK assassin droid HK-51.

## **Personality and Traits**

Big Doc's personality was a very rough-looking individual who had a more aggressive first impression. However, as you get to know him more and more, his stubborn and constantly aggressive personality makes him a more easily lovable crew member and his actions have given lucky moments to some of the crew, such as Cara and Chalkurra, who were able to use his screaming as a distraction to fight off thugs.

## **Skills and Abilities**

While he may not seem like it, Big Doc actually is a renown doctor for his bushweed gel which can heal almost any wound instantly. Big Doc was also very knowledgeable and had many underworld contacts, making him a valuable asset.

## **Equipment**

*"I don't need a blaster! I've got bushweed! Somewhere."*

*"How's bushweed going to help you in a fight?"*

*"It'll give me somethin' to do."*

-Big Doc and Cara, trying to welcome Big Doc onto the *Shadow's Scepter*

Big Doc carried few items with him, some notably being a bag of bushweed. He also carried a combat knife in case of emergency.

### **Starships**

Big Doc owned a Space Master Medium Transport, named the *Minty Clean*. This ship stored all of his bushweed and only bushweed. He also owned a Starwind Pleasure Yacht that he crashed in the Great Range on Roalia. It contained 5 puffer pigs that he wanted to sell but he never came around to it. He instead turned it into a ranch down by the Legend's Mountain.

## **Role**

*"I'm a bushweed doctor!"*

*"There's no possible way you're a doctor."*

*"But I am!"*

*\*Wookiee Roar\**

*"Shut up!"*
