Doc

"Humans are, like, totally powerless, dude! With crafty knowledge we may extend our lives a fraction, but we just extend our suffering, too. But in reality, all we can do is leave ourselves in nature's hands and die the way nature intends us to... That is the awesome truth!? Gnarly!"

, Doc (ドク) is a character in. He is an avid surfer and doctor in training who moved to Guldove to practice medicine.

Story
In his past, a tragedy struck someone close to him and he was unable to save the person; this prompted him to take up the study of healthcare and open his own clinic, which was staffed by a Demi-human assistant. While in El Nido, Doc studied many treatments and developed an extensive knowledge of panaceas; he also maintained a focused dedication to his work, hoping that he would never lose another life. The past experience gave him a clear and sober view of death; his favorite saying was that the promise of death allowed one to live strongly. In 1020 A.D., he was faced with Kid, who had been poisoned by Lynx with Hydra venom the night before at Viper Manor. He made initial preparations, but could not complete her recovery as he required Hydra Humour. This caused several regrets to resurface, leading him to Orlha's bar; she admonished him to not give up. He soon received the humour he needed (depending on events, it was given to him by either Serge or Norris); he was amazed by the existence of the different dimensions, and soon joined Serge's party to seek more knowledge.

How to Recruit
Doc will join your party if you choose NOT to find the cure to Kid's poison. After Kid recovers, Doc can be recruited in Guldove.
