**Doc** is the eldest and last of the five main tombsonas in the fictional version of the band The Living Tombstone. They are a fictional version of their real-life counterpart Maxime Cholley, and just like him, is the drummer for the band.

## **Appearance**

Doc appears as a vibrant, semitransparent deep blue humanoid, with a neon teal-ish skeleton inside, sans the skull (in some iterations, such as puppetry, the bones are on the exterior of the body). In place of an actual skull is the typical tombsona skull mask, the difference in doc's mask being that; the inside of the mask is the same rich blue color as the rest of Doc, outlined with the same neon teal as their bones. As for clothes doc wears a black, sleveless vest with a flared collar, which seems to have been made from something that previously had sleeves, as both sleeve-holes have frayed edges. They wear black suit pants, held low, making the top parts of his pelvis visible (although the actual bone is never visible); over the pants they wear a belt which regularly holds teal potions of sorts, though the number heavily varies. They wear a pair of black formal men's loafers; as well as a black top hat, which sometimes features a feather. Doc wears a wrap over his full right arm minus his hand.

## **Personality**

Doc's personality is more relaxed and reserved, although his personality has never been blatently stated, but rather shown through the shorts such as: Meet Doc!, A Very Tombsona Christmas, and Scaring Doc. Doc seems to be desensitized to most forms of surprise and depressing realism, although potentally disturbed by things with no reason or logic, as seen in Scaring Doc.

## **Inspiration**

Doc is inspired by the 17-1800's spiritual and magical beliefs (paganism, voodoo etc.). Doc's name seems to be a shortened reference to a "witch doctor." The book he is seen holding during Scaring Doc and Fly Home (reloaded) has a five point star as well as during the beginning of Scaring Doc showing him sitting in a pentagram, heavily showing his spiritual inspiration and beliefs.

## **Lore**

Doc is the oldest tombsona, in that it has had its host for the longest period of time of the present group. Its present host, Marshall Blue, bonded with it sometime in the 1800s. Since then, instead of finding new hosts, Doc has used black magic and body-swapping to gain new bodies without changing hosts. Doc has in past taken residence in a tree, said to have been in several swamps in places such as France or New Orleans. Doc's power includes the ability to resurrect dead things, seemingly as its servants with some sort of mental connection or control. Through this power, it has collected a undead bird army, which tend to stay close to Doc; from staying in and around the tree swamp primordial Doc resides in, to acting as extensions of Doc's body in teleportation. Doc has a somewhat arcane presence in its forest area and acts as a sort of minor deity.

Sam Haft has stated Doc is the only tombsona that he can see “actually doing things” without a host. An example of this is wandering the earth as a spirit, taking up residence in trees or swamps, and interacting with local populace as a kind of nature spirit or deity.

## Abilities

* Doc has an extensive knowledge of black magic. Some examples include rituals to change bodies, teleportation, and shifting into a group of crows.
* Doc has the ability to resurrect animals, namely crows.

## Trivia

* Doc is the oldest tombsona (Meaning they have bonded with their present host for the longest time).
* Unlike the other tombsonas, their video explains their backstory instead of their inspiration, personality and what makes them perfect for their role in the band.
	+ Their video is also the only one that is not narrated, in reference to silent films.
