## Backstory

(cw: illness)

Mallor Payne is the youngest in a set of twins, which was constantly rubbed in their face growing up in their father's clinic. After their twin had contacted an illness and subsequently died, their father and pushed them into pursuing medicine as a career, which they did and were surprisingly successful.

They eventually took over their father's practice and became rather successful due to the rather unfortunate circumstances around the turn of the century. Around this time, they had also met and married their wife Bertha "Bee" Payne. Bertha was a nurse for the general hospital, but eventually moved to the smaller clinic to be closer to Mallor and assist them. In 1902, they were experimenting and running trials to try and cure tuberculosis but both them and their wife contracted the disease. In late 1902, Bee died from complications related to the tuberculosis, but since their home and clinic had been touched by the corruption her body was quickly inhabited by the Corruption in the form of centipedes. Due to the symptoms of the sickness and the constant whispering and singing from the insects, Mallor was convinced their wife was alive and well and had the cure to tuberculosis and all other diseases.

In early 1903, Mallor had ascended in their sleep after dying from meningitis. The tuberculosis had progressed and weakened their immune system enough that the fungal variety had taken hold and caused a host of new problems of which the memory difficulty persists to this day.

Mallor was quick to befriend Chelsea Dell, a fellow avatar of the Corruption and flesh hive, when they first moved to the area after stumbling upon their newly opened coffee shop.

Now a fully ascended avatar with a lovely wife made from centipedes and the unending love of the Corruption, they try to cure others of any illness that plagues another. Usually this ends up with their patient succumbing and becoming a flesh hive, but sometimes they're cured. Mallor also seems to only do this on willing subjects as they are above kidnapping and forcing people into experiments, that's unethical. In their free time, they like to write medical studies and share information on Facebook for others to look at and use to help with their own families' ailments. This also doesn't usually end well.
