Character Name: Fuyuhiko Date (The Doctor)
Character Series: Cave Story
Character Age: Late thirties to early forties.
Background: http://cavestory.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doctor
Personality: Fuyuhiko Date, who will from now on be referred to as “The Doctor”, is a medical doctor by profession. The general public would assume that those who work in the medical fields are naturally interested in helping save as many lives as possible. The Doctor couldn't be more uninterested in saving lives. The only life he genuinely cares about is his own. His position as a medical doctor is just an excuse for him to cut open people and examine them from the inside. Calling himself a “man of science”, Date's priority over healing people is to learn as much as he can despite how his actions can seem “unethical” to others. The march of progress can't be impeded by silly moralistic quandaries, after all. If he had any other reason for wanting to tear open bodies, it's only because it's fun.
Back in his world, despite his amoral fascinations, the Doctor was able to keep a clean record. Professor Booster and Momorin Sakamoto trusted him as their medical doctor during their expedition to the Island. Any man with a stained record couldn't have been allowed to accompany the expedition. Through intelligence, scheming, and cunning, the man climbed his way up the hierarchy of the medical world to gain more influence. The Doctor tells others what they wish to hear in order to appear as a “good guy”, but only when necessary. He would become a man trusted by others and have more access to funds for his experiments and even trust that he has their interests in mind. Trust is no less than gambling chips to him, however. It's something that he can use to gain more power, but if power comes at the cost of trust, he would gladly throw it away. After arriving in the Island, the Doctor immediately abandoned the professors to find the fabled Demon Crown.
Power itself doesn't interest the Doctor. Power is only a means to an end, but there is really no real “end” in his book. Power can just as easily be sacrificed for more power. He takes supreme delight, however, in the quest to achieve power. Success and failure are words unknown to the Doctor despite his cruel ambitions. To him, there is only trial and error. Should one plan fail, then another plan will take its place. If that one fails, then the opportunity to formulate yet another one arises. Taking life and dissecting it, finding a mutagen that would drive an entire race of creatures insane and seeing for himself how it would work just before pushing it to the limits and modifying it for yet another race... The man enjoys all of this and he doesn't have a goal in mind either. If he could, he would simply carry on with his quest for more power repeatedly till the end of time.
The Doctor certainly possesses a few fears. The greatest fear he has is when faced with the prospect of being unable to continue his journey. Failure is considered a minor setback by him, but should he be faced with a permanent fate like, say, death, that's when the man begins to worry. This is natural for a selfish man. He manipulates conditions so that he remains in control with each experiment. Control means that no matter what happens, he would still be in a position to clean up after himself and start anew. Being unable to do that terrifies him. The Doctor would immediately work to assure that he can't reach a permanent end. If given mercy, he would only take advantage of it and repeat everything again in the end. The Doctor is incapable of returning favors.
The Doctor has a certain weakness to dramatics. Failure and success mean little to him which is why instead of going with a more sure-fire plan, he would take the route in which he can simply enjoy himself more. The Doctor had multiple occasions where he could have done away with Quote, his main enemy. He instead allowed him to live at times if it meant he would suffer more rather than end him with his superior powers. His disinterest for a swift victory in favor of simple enjoyment has cost him his entire plan.
Towards subordinates or rather, his subjects, the Doctor's treatment of them often borders on abusive. He isn't above hitting them should they make a mistake. To him, they're also a means to an end and if they have no choice but to follow him, why should he treat them with respect? “Respect” is only reserved for when he has no choice but to give it. In Mayfield, at first, he may try to act as a decent father and husband to his family, but if there is no need for it... say, when he regains his Demon Crown or Red Crystal or he no longer has an image to maintain... from that point on, they're little beyond guinea pigs. The Doctor was never known for keeping friends for far too long. Partners, however, are a different story should he meet someone of equal caliber to him. He could easily be outdone and so, he would ally with him/her first, using him/her as much as he can before throwing him away just like the flimsy trust he promises people.
Abilities: The Doctor alone has little power to speak of. He has a keen sense of observation and his medical techniques are superb. As sadistic of a man that he is, when feeling up to it, the Doctor is a master surgeon and has more than just an adequate knowledge for medicine.
With the Demon Crown, the Doctor gains a considerable list of powers including control over the witch, Misery, and the robot, Balrog. The Doctor is able to endure more damage than most other humans would be able to. He becomes able to fly and teleport through long distances. Against foes, he can summon lightning to guard himself.
Possessing the Red Crystal, a crystal crafted from red flowers that can enhance the powers of humans, grants the Doctor greater power. His endurance to attacks increases and he is able to summon sets of fireballs from his arms or his entire body all at once. The Crystal itself cannot be broken and serves as a shield to the Doctor as it floats around him.
Taking control over the Red Crystal requires intense concentration, however. If the Doctor takes enough damage and loses control momentarily, his mind shatters and his body becomes like a true demon. His physical strength enhances along with his magical power. He becomes able to send waves of flaming bats from his hands.
After death, the Doctor can live on through a mist of blood if he has the Red Crystal and Demon Crown in his possession. Only his mind remains in the world while his body is destroyed. He can take possession of someone nearby, but this power works better when the possessed body is already deceased. If still living, the Doctor's influence mutates the victim, enhances his/her power, and sends him/her into a berserk state. Killing the victim isn't required to undo the Doctor's control. The Doctor's presence will naturally fade away if his possessed body is beaten.
