RATCHET:

Chief Medical Officer and should-be retiree, he’s been putting in work for centuries now. He’d much rather be doing anything else other than patching you up, and he will make that abundantly clear. What he won’t let on is his odd ability of feeling other bot’s pain; no wonder he’s a grouch. In spite of his overall sour mood, he’s an incredible medic and an irreplaceable member of the team.

AMBULON:

After the murder attempt from his former mentor Pharma, Ambulon disappeared from the Ark for many years. After some extensive therapy, he’s finally returned. While still learning his craft from Ratchet, he’s very skilled with a blade. Many would still trust him to perform an operation on them. Despite feeling the weight of being gone for so long, Ambulon has rekindled his relationship with Slack.

FIRST AID:

Being the adoptive son of Ratchet has its perks, but the name made it obvious what career path he was being nudged into. First Aid is unlike the CMO in every way, always polite and respectful towards his patients. It’s rare that he ever raises his voice. He’s currently in a rather scandalous forbidden romance, but that’ll never get in the way of his work. Probably.

SLACK:

In spite of the courteous nature of his twin, Slack has picked up all the fury and annoyance of Ratchet. While the seizing of his servos definitely benefited from him dropping out of the medical program, his temper was just as much so a factor. He has a strange understanding of other bots, which lead him towards the mental health spectrum of medicine… and also towards Ambulon.

If you have any questions, don’t be shy! Send in an ask! :)

In the lore I’ve created for Slack, he’s always been an outcast. First Aid trains under Ratchet while he’s forced to teach himself everything he knows. Yeah, he’s supportive of his twin, but it doesn’t make it any less lonely.

Ambulon, of course, dealt with a murder attempt at a very vulnerable time in his life. Traumatized, he’s trying to grow from this, but it’s hard. It doesn’t feel like anyone understands what it’s like, and self isolation burrowed its way into his everyday life.

They have an odd sense of solidarity in my mind; two outcasts that don’t necessarily fit in with the rest of their group for one reason or another. They’re their own niche, and at least they have each other :)
