The Doktor lives in a hell dimension much like those found in the Disgaea series; violent, incomprehensible and amusing. He has a large, spooky mansion with a very expansive laboratory that started out in the basement and sort of crept all over the house. Think Hammer Horror or Carry on Screaming...
He's a demon, alternately a devil...it doesn't really matter. He lacks wings, but he has pointy fangs that can be very cute or very horrible, a red tinge to the eye, pale skin, a long, prehensile tail and slightly pointy fingernails. Plus little red horns. Demons can make themselves look more intimidating when necessary, with huge fangs and horns, but he considers this dreadfully uncouth.
His tail has an adorable heart on the end, but it's very sharp when he wants it to be. He uses his tail mostly for picking things up or pushing his glasses up.
His body temperature varies. Normally he's slightly colder than is comfortable for a human. When hibernating, he becomes colder than dead things; he does this occasionally when feeling particularly lazy. He's also a bit colder when he's feeling down. When he feels warm and fuzzy on the inside, it makes him warmer. Similarly when he's very angry, he's practically on fire. He can control this to a degree. The reason is that his internal organs don't really need to work, so he doesn't generate much heat unless he feels like it.
He's neither dead nor undead, but it would be reaching to call him alive.
He's very clever, very skilled, and very laissez-faire about things like anaesthetic and the Hippocratic Oath. For a demon, apart from a slightly cold and irritable demeanour, he's remarkably affable. He just doesn't value life in the same way most folks do. Which is not to say he doesn't value it. Just that he values it in a jar, or strapped to a gurney, or stitched up with a few other lives. He doesn't discriminate!
Although dangerous in his own way, he doesn't go around causing mayhem like some people he could mention. You're probably 80% safe with him. ...70%.
Humans are quite interesting, but unfortunately they die very easily. For this reason he prefers to conduct experiments on his own kind, which he terms Fabelwasen. Despite the fact that he regularly slices them up, they still go to him for medical care, because he's one of those annoying madmen that happens to be a genius, too.
His specialty is surgery, but he's also an accomplished chemist, geneticist, botanist, psychiatrist and inventor.
He's mainly calm, but becomes very excited by new discoveries and suchlike. He has little concept of personal space.
He uses various types of magic with ease, being quite the scholar. He's mostly fond of fire and ice. Conjuring things, too. Like flowers.
He keeps all manner of otherworldly plants, and loves flowers. He gives them to people he meets; how charming.
He also hands out lollipops like a good doctor. He has a serious sweet tooth and is a wonderful cook. He greatly enjoys producing meat dishes. Particularly the...procurement of the meat.
Despite his charms he is, well, nuts, and he does cackle and breathe heavily at the scent of blood. He treats these reactions as an unfortunately unprofessional malady that he must just put up with. Occupational hazard, you might say. When not being insane, he's extremely lucid. A self-diagnoser, in fact.
Speaking of self, he also self-operates when necessary. He's been known to use himself as a test subject. It's alright, he heals very quickly.
So does Prussia, with whom he has a rather sadomasochistic relationship. He likes to hurt him. Lots. But he also annoys the living hell out of him, so it's a two way street, you know.
Speaking of S&M...well, perhaps it's better if we don't.
Actually, the Doktor is pretty good at being a nonsexual being when he has his professional head on. After work, he's a freak in more ways than one.
He listens to a great variety of classical music while working, and plays many instruments in his downtime. His favourite is the ominous pipe organ that sits proudly in his foyer.
Things that he likes: blood, plants, stabbing Prussia, werewolves, nurses, hearing Prussia scream, needles, cake, raw meat, tying Prussia up and music.
Things that he dislikes: people getting out of his grasp when he wants them, incompetent fools and disco.
