CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Tall with a firm build, his figure his slender but with no shortage of definitive muscle.  He is not, nor has he ever been a soldier, for that’s never been a profession he has considered worthy of his time.  His visage is stern and rather stoic, cheekbones slender and nose thin and pointed.

Tetra takes great pains to maintain his appearance, which can made him appear more prim and proper than he really is.  With hair somewhat longer than most, long enough to be slicked back, or tied up in a small ponytail.  His heterochromatic eyes are intelligent and gleam beautifully in darkness and stellar light, one of blue, one of red.  Although one of them however, is not the eye he was born with.  His left eye is slightly darker than his right, in fact, it is almost completely red.  It is a device, in fact, that implanted itself into his skull in one of the TRIM labs in his early days of working for the corporation.

It was an accident, to be sure, but Tetra would rather not discuss his unusual eye, as the device has taken adapting itself more toward his natural eye-color, even with whites around the it.  On official record, the device has since been written off as a failure and subsequently destroyed.

 + NOTABLE MARKS +
A long cut runs underneath his left forearm, where he had previously defended himself against an unruly patient.  He is not proud of it and keeps it bandaged.  Although he possesses the means to fix it, he would rather not.  It is a reminder to be wary and keep others at arm’s length.

CH II – Mental Make-up
Intelligent, astute, witty, sharp-tongued, idiosyncratic, logical, cold, and prick, are all words that have been used to describe Dr. Tetra Phaedras.  While he is a psychiatrist, he doesn’t seem to treat his patients with any sort of attachment.  It’s not that he doesn’t feel concern, it’s simply that coddling a patient does nothing to help him.  That isn’t to say he doesn’t care, but a professional and personal distance must be maintained.  He takes his job and duty to TRIM serious, or as serious as a cynical realist could be about such things.

He doesn’t suffer anything he considers a waste of time, and there are few things that aren’t.  He has thrown his life into his work, in studying the mind and various facets of consciousness.  He likes to conduct psychological tests that further his research, and even use experimental drugs on some of the subjects he is counseling.  And if it helps someone in the proncess, then that is surely a bonus.  However, deep down he sees the latter as a means of bolstering his own pride.  Tetra is good at what he does and knows it.

He is also a bit of a neat freak.  Cleanliness is next to sanity, as the saying goes.  A place for everything and everything in its place.  His mannerisms are trim, direct, and if anything, coldly polite.

+ FAITH +
Never has nor will ever be religious.  He respects people’s right to believe as they choose, even if he looks down at them for it.

+ HABITS +
Enjoys tea, hard liquor, morning meditation, and yoga.  Also dabbles in light artistry.  And a workaholic.


CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
Several professional relationships/acquaintances and none that he would consider personal.  Probably the reason he’s so uptight. 

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ MIND LEAP +
A skill that has long run in his family, Tetra can project his consciousness into the minds of others and traverse their thoughts and influence them.  He has always been able to do this, even as a child.  If the target is sleeping or in a hypnotic state, Tetra can remain inert and project himself in that way.  He can also do it when the intended target is awake and alert.

Most minds are maze templates as Tetra was come to understand it, which he has taken to mapping out and memorizing based on certain personality traits.  To keep the target from realizing something is amiss, Tetra assumes parts of their personality traits or quirks.  But sometimes spending too much time in the mind of the mad has made the good Dr. Phaedras a little…twitchy.

-Coupled with his gift, the sentient machine that overtook his left eye.  It can communicate with him, and when it does, he may only reply back aloud, often appearing as if he’s talking to himself.  It gives him the ability to ‘hack’ any computer device, VR, digital, encoded, encrypted, or otherwise, and survey and control it, if necessary.  The device can also shoot out beams of energy, capable of ripping through any material.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
+ SENTIENT EYE +
Created in a TRIM lab, and a horrible accident found its way into his eye.  It is a powerful self-aware machine, that aims to connect to any electronic within an immediate, or even distant vicinity.  It has some minor advantages.  Tetra can check his email without opening his phone, that’s always nice.  Oh and shooting lasers.  That’s handy too.

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
Although born in Tynova, Tetra had a typical, if not boring upbringing.  Uneventful, tragically suffocating, and with little to show for it, but an excellent education, good health, and all the right connections.

He began work for TRIM as a psychiatrist, giving subjects a means of some mental relief, although he was surprised that many of them still had plenty to say about their mothers and fathers, and all the affection they did or didn’t give them.  He is a psychiatrist not only for subjects, but much of the staff as well. 

It wasn’t a job Tetra initially wanted.  Working for a corporation as large and demanding as TRIm left little room to be in charge of his own practices.  But the pay was stellar and work was steady.

At times, he becomes flippant about his task, but he was not always this way.  There was a time where the feelings of sympathy he’d been trying most of his life to avoid leaked out of him in spurts.  The first year of working for TRIM left his left arm scarred when a subject grew irate and attacked him with a makeshift shiv.  He’d been more careless then, opting out of extra guards, and refusing to push new TRIM drugs on patients.  While most others would quit after that, he stayed on, after a significant pay raise, of course.

He’s much more careful now, and prescribes those new TRIM drugs for those lovely year-end bonuses.
