Since I dont think you would mind corset... lets dress you in lingerie only and transform that ugly belt in to something sexy... have fun with Theo~ Magic Anon
Walker: Noriko!Noriko: Ja ne~ *puffs away*Walker: Stupid fox and their stupid magic…
"I’m sorry… t… this is highly inappropriate."
... you surely must be cold...
Take this.
Apologies, I hope I am not overstaying my welcome by approaching you. But a magic anon bewitched me with this corset and insisted I shall talk to other people. So... I thought I would try with you first. ~ Theo
"It suits you. But it kind of clashes with your white coloured clothes."
Huh, fancy that. It makes my robe look almost like a dress.
Hm, I understand why people wear these, I feel a lot more elegant in this.
"Oh, hello. Nice to meet you sir. I dont believe we met before."
Ah, yes, I do not think we have!
You can call me Theo. I am pleased to make your acquaintance!
Please do not hesitate to enlist my help if you should ever have use of a physician.
"Say, mister. Have you seen somebody with long black hair, who is really rude to people?" Walker looked at him bit sad, if Roamer was bothering this kind man.
Ah, as a matter of fact, I have!
A curious person. Approached me, attempted to insult me with the most lovely of things - like telling me that I smell like flowers - and eventually seeming in a huff when I bowed out of the conversation. Is it a friend of yours that you seek?
"Oh, hello. Nice to meet you sir. I dont believe we met before."
Ah, yes, I do not think we have!
You can call me Theo. I am pleased to make your acquaintance!
Please do not hesitate to enlist my help if you should ever have use of a physician.
"NIce to meet you too, mister Theo. My name is Hall Walker. Please call me Walker.
I try not to get hurt.”
If I was a worse person and physician than I am, I would probably reply to that: "What a shame, that implies I would rarely get to see you."
But of course I will only let this thought cross my mind untold, like a true professional should.
"Oh, hello. Nice to meet you sir. I dont believe we met before."
Ah, yes, I do not think we have!

Uh huh… And why is there photo proof that I’ve met you before when I don’t remember it?
Maybe because you have and some kind of recent event caused you to forget about it.
Did anything with big emotional impact on you happen recently, Mister René? It is entirely possible that such a happenstance may have caused you to bury your memories of a certain time frame until your mind feels more capable of dealing with them again.
However, again, I can assure you that this meeting was not of great importance to you. I introduced myself to you, you needed my services, and I did my job. That is all.
No, nothing has happened, and why on earth would I need your services, I can heal myself just fine.
Are you absolutely certain?
When we met you did mention bouts of forgetfulness every now and then... maybe that is the reason instead.
The problem you wished me to treat was nothing to be solved by a bit of toying with time, if that is what you refer to.
You seem a bit distressed about the idea of having met a physician, Sir. Are you sure that you feel all right? I do offer free checkups to all the participants of the tournament, you know?
THIS IS A BAD IDEA
I… I don’t… remember this…! This didn’t really happen, right?
Aww, no worries. We did not do anything you would regret.
I don’t even know you.
Hehehe… I apologise. I was only jesting a little.
You may call me Theo. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mister René.
Please consider me something like the local paramedic and physician.

NPC submission hooray!
Name: Theophrastus, but only introduces himself as “Theo”
Species: Human
Occupation: Doctor/Medic
Description: Theo dresses mostly in white and gold, covering up his body in long, flowing robes and capes. He often wears several layers of clothing above each other, since his pigmentation is getting weaker with each passing decade and he therefore gets sunburns more easily. He knows how to heal them up quickly, but he prefers to be protected from the sunlight even still. When he isn’t expecting or planning to engage with people, he usually wears his bird mask as well for the reasons below. The first impression he makes is usually kind, gentle and polite and has a very careful way of speaking, pronouncing every word very clearly (although in other languages than German not always right) and sometimes pausing to seemingly consider his next sentence. The scars on his torso are from the treatment with the Herb of Life he had to undergo to return from the dead. He once had more of them, but they are very, very slowly healing up. He’s self-conscious about them anyways.
Abilities: Theo has acquired knowledge and possession of a special plant, the Herb of Life, and its usage. With it, he can treat pretty much every wound, poisoning, sickness or injury within a very short time frame, and even slows down his own aging process considerably. He also knows a lot about occult alchemy and rituals, which he has begun combining with the tinctures, potions and other products he creates out of the Herb of Life. With this combination, he can even affect nonliving things positively - so long as they do still have a close connection to life. But the flip side of his knowledge is that he also knows how to do damage really well. Not that he would do that to humans, but magical or nonhuman creatures can become a target to him. Due to his constant inhalation of his special mixture, his body has started to absorb the healing powers of the Herb. Not only does this extend his overall lifespan, he also recovers from wounds and most poisons extremely quickly. When he is wearing his mask, he heals up almost instantaneously, the longer he keeps it off the slower his healing rate gets. While wearing his mask this also allows him to tap into the full potential of the human body - a normal and untrained human body though! - regardless of the usual limits set by how much strain muscles can take before they tear.
The Herb of Life: This plant is brightly colored, with diamond-shaped leaves and blossoms that remind of cotton. The herb is very difficult to find, but Theo has found a way to us its own and external occult powers to grow it unnaturally quickly from its seeds, of which he always keeps some close to his body. It can be used as ingredient in all kinds of health-improving rituals, potions, balms and elixirs, and Theo knows a wide array of different recipes he keeps written down in a notebook. Consumed or applied in its pure form, the herb can accelerate regeneration - a broken bone might heal in one week instead of three - but it’s full powers, ranging from rapid healing to even reviving a dead person, can only be tapped into when it is used in mixtures and rites, most of which consume a lot of time and resources. Theo keeps preparing potions and balms when he has the time to do it, and therefore carries many with him, willing to trade them or give them away as rewards to others. Maybe even use them directly to heal others. His favorite recipe is the one he uses for a mixture of herbs within his mask. The air filtered through these herbs lets him inhale the life-renewing power of the Herb of Life to its fullest extend, keeping him young and blessing him with an extremely high healing rate. It slows down the longer he goes without inhaling the special scent, but he can take one or two days before it gets into a potentially threatening area. His second favorite is a glowing potion which greatly enhances the physical abilities of a person by being an extremely rapid healing and painkilling potion. It strips the body of both the willingness and the need to refrain from actions that would damage muscles and bones too much, unlocking the full potential of the human body. It doesn’t work on all non-human beings though, and it is very difficult to create, so he only carries a small quantity of it around. However, the Herb cannot perfectly regenerate the body. So Theo still has scars from the gruesome ritual necessary for his survival, and is slowly but surely losing pigmentation, which starts impairing his eyesight and makes being in the sun for too long very uncomfortable if he doesn’t get to inhale his mixture for a long enough time.
Personality: As mentioned, his appearance and behavior usually create a very pleasant first impression. In fact, with his soft smile and calm voice, he usually comes across as if he was trying out for a role as Prince Charming in a fairy tale adaption. His kindness is - at least towards other humans - very genuine though. If he comes across an injured human, he will likely treat them and depending on their helplessness even nurse them back to help if they need it. However, he harbors a deep disgust for everything that is not human, especially demons and fae-like beings. While he will not damage his reputation by showing this too clearly, it might become noticeable that he is much less eager to offer his help to them, and usually needs to be coerced into it somehow. While he rarely outright lies (he might skew and/or hold back information though) and tries to avoid harm for other humans, he can be very manipulative, and will become more ruthless in methods the more important his goal is to him. He might also disregard the lives of people he regards as bad or evil more easily than those of humans he considers innocent. Children fall into this category by default for him. He takes his role as a medic/doctor very seriously, and extends it from people to humanity in general, regarding nonhumans as something like weeds that endanger and suffocate the human species. So he regards himself as Cleanser and Healer of Humankind, trying to ignore that he has a very sadistic and cruel aspect to his personality. He does, however, not necessarily pick a fight with nonhumans if they aren’t high on his priority list at the moment (healing and immediate threats to humans come first), so if a nonhuman leaves him alone, he usually treats it as a nonverbal non-aggression-pact until further notice. Gestures of affection or trust remain in his memory for a long time, and he will both react very positively to them and try to keep himself worthy of them in the eyes of the person he got them from. Within reasonable limits. He also does not like to share any of his secrets, including his occult and medical knowledge. While he does consider himself a savior and protector of mankind, that also includes staying alive and able-bodied in his mind. If others die because saving them is a too big a risk, he regards it as a sacrifice that needs to be made for the greater good.
Backstory (Abbreviated version below the long one): Theos past is for the most part remarkably unremarkable. He had a good and happy childhood with loving parents, and his teenage years went pretty smoothly for him, especially since he grew into an intelligent and handsome young man. The basic interest in medicine has accompanied him since his earliest childhood years, when he performed “surgery” on small animals - only later developing the understanding necessary to realize that he actually tortured them to death. Something that he didn’t take too easy, especially since it made him understand that he’d enjoyed the torture.
He was a very young man, blonde and dark-eyed when he purchased an odd bottle on a marketplace. Inside, he found an ever-moving being that later turned out to be a demon. Or fae. Or whatever. "Spiritus Familiaris" was the name of its species, and he had heard legends of them before. They skewed fate in the favor of their owners, but in turn, they would drag the soul of whoever died with them in their possession into eternal damnation. However, Theos curiosity and thirst for knowledge outweighed his fear of the unknown, and so instead of doing like others would have in his situation and finding someone to pass the entity on to - he began conversing with it. It took a long time until the Spiritus warmed up to him, but eventually he gained its benevolence exceeding its usual effect. It taught him about paranormal entities, rituals and non-euclidean concepts and they became close like friends or mentor and protegee. Eventually, Theo learned that the demon despised its prison just as much as he feared his own fate after death. And that it still had a secret it hadn’t told him yet. He gained its trust for good by unsealing the bottle and letting it out. Freed from its bonds, but touched by the compassion of a mere mortal, the Spiritus decided to stay with him anyway, tame as a cat, and taught him the secret of the Herb of Life, passing on all its knowledge about the processing of the herb to him. This revelation made him a great and successful doctor, sought after and paid well wherever he went. However, the entity more and more often warned him of murder attempts it had sensed in his fate, averting the possibility of his death several times. At first he believed that it was his success that inspired envy in other humans, but then, when coming terribly close to being killed once, he realized that it was actually his paranormal companion that attracted the negativity. To tweak fate in his favor, the fortune had to come from somewhere else - and eventually, the people the Spiritus took it from tended to fall deep enough to take their revenge. Subconsciously, they felt drawn to him as a result. It was how the species of the Spiritus worked, and the realization that his supposed friend had created a vicious cycle by saving his life over and over changed Theos complete outlook on their relationship. He had already led an unnatural long life in an unnaturally young body by this point. There was no knowledge to gain from the Spiritus anymore. So he used its knowledge against it, tricked it, and sealed it in a little girl.
Her name was Cocoa.
Maybe he wouldn’t have done it if the girl had been human. But she wasn’t, and therefore made for a perfect vessel for the demon. She was sick and he had hoped for her to die of it, trapping the demon within her corpse forever, but the Spiritus managed to save her life with what little power it had left. Since it fell dormant afterwards, Theo stopped worrying about the ordeal anyway. Instead he wiped his slate in the eyes of fate and fortune clean by finally letting someone take revenge on him, and instructed someone he trusted on how to revive him with the Herb of Life. It worked, and henceforth he regarded himself as a protector and healer of mankind, a role he has always taken very seriously.
When Coffee, the Spiritus he sealed, started to regain more power and control after the last Tumblr Rumblr, he eventually took notice, and is now seeking her out to seal her for good again. Even if that means doing very, very dirty work.
Use: Theo is free for use in any way. He will gleefully meddle with the Tournament Fights as much as he will get away with it, he can heal the contestants inbetween fights and his assistance can be used as a handy excuse to let the opponent win, but disqualify them anyways. Just feel free to use him however you wish to.

((Whoops this was still missing on here...
Additional info I forgot to put in:
Theos bodily fluids (blood, tears, sweat, etc.) have his healing powers, too... so not only can they be used to heal, losing a lot of hydration is also a way to accelerate the process of getting the herb out of his system.
If he has to fight, he does so with two small golden sickles like the ones druids used to cut herbs.
His knowledge makes him a great Exposition Machine, knock yourself out, and you are free to give him additional beefs with your characters or whatevs~))
yeah…kinda???? maybe??? it’s more like a…big…sword?? yeah aha ha…ha ?
ouch
"Oh my, that does look painful!"
"May I offer some help with that?"
"My, my, my. What does my nose smell? Such a delicate flower. So few in existince in your world. Reminds me on Walker." Growls name and glares at Theo.
"Delicate flower? Well, the description sounds pleasant, so thank you!"
"I am confounded about the implication that it seems to invoke an unpleasant association in you though. I assure you that whoever this ‘Walker’ is, I am not associated with them. Maybe interaction with me can give the scent a more pleasant place in your memory?"
"Insult. And its not good smell, for creature like me."
Hopes he would go away. Or they would find doors and thrown him in pits of hell.
Well then. If you despise me that much, that's a big enough compliment for me you little black rat...
"I beg your forgiveness for making you uncomfortable then. Seeing as I am apparently not welcome in your vicinity, I shall stop doing so and leave you to your own devices, yes?"
He gave a little bow, then departed in a pace that wasn't too hasty, but also not irritatingly slow. "Good day, Ma'am."
"My, my, my. What does my nose smell? Such a delicate flower. So few in existince in your world. Reminds me on Walker." Growls name and glares at Theo.
"Delicate flower? Well, the description sounds pleasant, so thank you!"
"I am confounded about the implication that it seems to invoke an unpleasant association in you though. I assure you that whoever this ‘Walker’ is, I am not associated with them. Maybe interaction with me can give the scent a more pleasant place in your memory?"
Roamer doesn’t buy it. People that are too polite and too good are bad news, everybody knows that. Mostly to those like them. Labelled bad. And he wore too much white. Add long hair and you have Walker! That alone irritated Roamer greatly.
"You are funny one. To polite, in my life that I kind of stole, I learned one lesson. Never trust nice people. They are the most dangerous. Excusing blood on their hands with reasons of greater good and holy mission." Waves their hand, having image of Walker before their eyes. This would be difficult.
He gave a soft chuckle.
"I smell too good and I am too polite? I must apologise again, but it is hard to figure out on wether you are trying to insult or compliment me."
"My, my, my. What does my nose smell? Such a delicate flower. So few in existince in your world. Reminds me on Walker." Growls name and glares at Theo.
"Delicate flower? Well, the description sounds pleasant, so thank you!"
"I am confounded about the implication that it seems to invoke an unpleasant association in you though. I assure you that whoever this ‘Walker’ is, I am not associated with them. Maybe interaction with me can give the scent a more pleasant place in your memory?"
"Don’t flatter yourself, dear. I mean flower that you seems like so much. It even gives similar vibe as Walker." Grimaces.
"Most disgusting." Roamer covers their nose with black hair, wondering who the heck is he.
He hesitated. Only for a split second, but he did.
"I suppose I consume a bit much of it. But I did not wish to impose on you with the scent, Ma'am. I beg your forgiveness." Theo moved a few steps away from his current position, so the wind wouldn't carry his scent over to her anymore.
How bothersome to keep up the facade in the first place... but the entity already seemed ready enough to start a fight, he really didn't need to encourage it, too.
