Personal Profile
- A Sivadian from the 41st century, Alastair Hall is genetically and cybernetically enhanced. Most notable is the replacement of both his right arm and left leg, the latter causing him to walk with a limp and often carry a cane.
- An Intellecual and Medical genius, Hall graduated from the prestigious University of Enaj at a young age and holds a combined Medical and Philosophical Doctorate with a double specialty in Genetic Engineering and Xenomedicine. He is a brilliant Diagnostician, an expert on Infectious Diseases, a skilled Surgeon, as well as being a Polyglot capable of speaking numerous languages.
- Despite his obvious talent Alastair is quick to pawn off patients onto anyone else and goes to great lengths to avoid treating anyone unless their case is particularly difficult or interesting. He furthermore displays a caustic bedside manner and a marked ethical flexibility, and habitually abuses a wide spectrum of drugs.
Genetic Modifications
- Alastair expresses a custom genotype with the wide variety of commonplace modifications typical of 41st century Sivadians and editing to remove any genetic errors (G-1170), including life-extension therapy (L-3980) His physical appearance is an adjusted composite of his parents features, with selection for desired alleles.
- Enhancements to Alastair's Central Nervous System include slight increases to brain volume and surface area (CM546/s+3) with more densely packed neurons and synapses (ND384 and SC375), along with several other adjustments to cognitive architecture designed to increase cognitive speed and efficiency. Results are dramatically heightened capacity for abstraction, comprehension, learning, recall, and other indicators of intelligence, with a minimum IQ of 220 on the STIS.
- Concurrent with these modifications, an intentional variation (NRG50-x3) in Alastair's nervous system allows for enhanced neuroregeneration, including self-repair of damaged nerves and regrowth of nervous tissues. A related effect (NP47-v5) provides for a great degree of cortical plasticity in adulthood, easing MMI integration with cybernetics. An additional result of this modification is a marked aptitude for linguistics.
- Enhancements to Alastair's Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nervous System involve enlargment of primary and secondary neural pathways, particularly those in the sensory network (NV356+SS214), boosting signal capacity and allowing a higher volume and quality of information to be relayed to the brain. In conjunctions with modifications (IP269/S) affecting the audiovisual, olfactory, and somatic regions of the brain this allows a significantly heightened ability to process sense data. Results are acutely increased perception from all five senses and elevated general awareness.
- Further alterations of peripheral nervous system (NMS362) coupled with refinements to muscle tissue throughout the body (MS854) create a marked increase in both fine and gross motor control.
Cybernetic Augmentations
- Left Leg, Total Cybernetic Replacement. Standard Enaj Cybernetics Prosthetic Model. Due for Retrofit.

Shuu on Alastair: Shuuuuuuuuuuuuu~!
Victoria on Alastair: Nice enough. Somewhat. Very dry sense of humor. Could be described as curt... short-worded. It seems he dislikes explaining things, except when it comes to procreation. From what I've gathered, he's a brilliant doctor.
Reode on Alastair: (whispering) I think he's actually a robot and not a Sivadian. He has a nice closet, too. Lotsa' warm coats and tasty snacks he leaves for me. Offered me some recreational drugs once, though. Shame on him!
Anshera on Alastair: One does /ever/ so adore Alastair. Even if She does not like when he scolds Her.
