Appearance

Dr. Harper stands a modest 5ft 11 inches with an average build, in shape, but a far cry from winning any bodybuilding contests.

Approaching 50 years of age, his youthful looks have begun to blend into the kind of subtle aging that could easily have you checking his I.D twice. 

His physical appearance complements his charismatic charm in a way that one could become lost in his eyes and intoxicated by the tone of his voice.

With a smile that should easily attract attention, Dr. Harper still maintains the ability to turn heads in the corridor and is mysteriously followed by an influx of patients to his medical bay, often all suffering from similar ailments …Cervical muscle sprains.

His hair has begun to turn a shade of peppered grey over the years, adding highlights to his naturally brown hair, which is usually well combed.

On the move, Dr. Harper seems to move like a daydreaming child, and being quite the practical joker, sometimes he’s doing just that. That is, when he’s not carrying around one of his many novelty coffee mugs.

In uniform, Dr. Harper switches between his uniform, overrobed by a long teal lab coat and medical scrubs, depending on his mood. The lab coat tends to be for appearances, as he finds most patients respect a Doctor who looks like a doctor. 

It also doubles to hide coffee stains on his uniform from time to time, and while he is exceptionally hygienic, Dr. Harper is also a busy man who would rather spend more time with his patients than taking ten minutes to go change.

Personality

Notable Skills & Attributes

  • Triple medical board-certified in Trauma medicine, Cardio-Thoracic, and infectious diseases.
  • Cocky and a practical joker
  • Avid collector of 21st-century coffee mugs. Particularly those printed with sarcastic medical slogans 

Psychological Profile


Starfleet Medical reports that Dr. Harper is Impulsive, cocky, with a ruthless and practical sense of humor. His large collection of coffee mugs also receives a footnote in his report and has been described as ‘Concerning, and just a little bit creepy.’

His record also highlights the importance of not judging a book by its cover, as Dr. Harper is also highly focused and has an attention to detail that cannot be understated.

He is also noted to be highly compassionate. He approaches difficult conversations directly and thrives under pressure in a similar way to how a conductor expertly organises the chaos of the orchestra into a fine masterpiece.

His impulsivity, however, is perhaps his biggest character flaw, seemingly lacking any sort of filter when it comes to cracking a joke or trying to invoke humour. This portrays the appearance of an individual who cannot be taken seriously, though it is noted that Dr. Harper likely does not give energy to caring if anyone does or does not in that regard.

He is confident in his abilities and is a truly gifted physician, and this earns him a certain amount of leeway with most people who are content to accept his quirks for what they are, simply because he is good at what he does.

His confidence, however, is a detriment to working with peers and sometimes his seniors; however, it cannot be denied that his personality and leadership style have an infectious effect on his juniors, who often build a solid attachment and working relationship with him.
