They do have an X-suit like everyone else but they rarely use it as they should be right up on the front lines in most fights.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>He stands by what he learned many years ago. "First do no harm." Even after what he has done and been trough he makes an effort to abide by that and encourages others to do so as well. He feels sorry for other with similar power to him and what they have bene through but will expect them to be wise. He dislikes the US government's actions but understands them. He very much dislikes the brotherhood and their acts of violence. Even if he hates you to your core as long as you are not a monster beyond redemption he will try to keep you alive. He is a doctor after all.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>His life has been an interesting one. He actually didn't know he was anything special for most of it. Living a nice comfortable life with his wealthy family. Never getting sick and attributing it to luck really. Going to medical school because it was the right thing to do and because he wanted to help people. Enlisting in the military because he needed to save his country during the second great war. Jumping on a grenade because others lives mattered more. He was going to die a hero's death in the second great war as far as he knew when he did that.<br/><br/>Only he didn't die. He lived although he was in immense pain and left on the ground for a while as his fellow soldiers walked past what they thought was his corpse. He laid there simply coming to terms with it all. The pain, the fear, and the fact that he was still alive. It took a little while but he eventually stood up with his uniform in tatters as he went right back to work trying to save those injured around him.<br/><br/>He made his way back to camp and they were amazed to see him as they gave him new clothes to wear. He worked in the medical tent from there on out as the British government didn't want him playing war hero again. He worked hard to save the lives he could and soon started to realize that his work went much differently when he didn't use gloves. When he had neither the time or the resources to cover his hands it was if his touch could heal.<br/><br/>It was exactly that and after some safe testing, he knew that not only could he not die but he could give his great health to others for a time. He wondered what else he could do with his gift. A gift that seemed perfect for a man like him. He was using it to save every soldier he could. Even the german ones he was asked not to by the commanding officers. Everyone was praising him as such a skilled physician as he would dose them with morphine so they didn't notice how he would save them.<br/><br/>He went on like that until he had an enemy leader in his hands. This was another man he was told not to save but this time the order to keep him alive came from higher and they all had to listen. This man was a member of the SS and it was his previous job to run one of the camps everyone was starting to hear about. They needed information from him and they needed him alive so Robert took off his gloves and tried to heal the man as he wished him dead.<br/><br/>It didn't work, to say the least, as the man screamed and cried and seemed to dissolve and crumble in Robert's hands. No one else saw as he took his hands off the very clear corpse and had to put a sheet over hi as he informed his commanding officers with a frown that the man was dead. The man had been a monster but even so it was Robert's duty to save hm and he had failed. He had done more than failed, he had taken his first life and he didn't like the feeling.<br/><br/>He returned from the war decorated and looking for a purpose. Wondering how he fit into the world with what he could do. Everything he could do. He had a private practice for a few years before realizing he wasn't aging anymore and soon people might notice. It caused him to move. To travel the world and set up a place for a few years wherever he went until many years later he heard of other people like him and a school for them. It was big news for him as it seemed to finally be a place where he didn't have to hide what he could do it took him many years to learn exactly where it was and many years more to actually get there. By that time mutants were a very public issue and he knew he would need to get there soon or someone would decide they didn't like that their doctor couldn't die. He arrived in time to see the government take action against mutants. To see them first have to get registered and then worse. It reminded him of the war in all the worse ways.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Class:</strong>Beta<br/><br/><strong>Healing Factor:</strong>He has the fastest healing factor ever recorded and have been known to heal so quickly that most cuts and bruises don't get time to show up. Missing limbs take minutes to heal back and according to him he once grew back from just part of his head.<br/><br/><strong>Power transfer:</strong>He can give the full or partial effects of his power to others through any skin to skin contact. He keeps what portion he does not give away and can give up his powers to others to make them heal like he can or to make them do quite the opposite just as quickly. He has only done that once and still regrets it to this day.<br/><br/><strong>Doctors bag:</strong>Not very useful when he can cure most things through a simple touch but it's good for seeing what is wrong with someone and addressing any wounds if more than one person is injured at a time. It is also useful to hide his powers from normal people.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong>Skin to skin contact:</strong>He needs to touch his skin to the enemies skin for his power to effect them.<br/><br/><strong>Powerless:</strong>He is left powerless while he is giving his power or its opposite to others.<br/><br/><strong>First do no harm:</strong>He wishes to hurt no one and even in the middle of a large scale battle he will heal the gravely wounded on any side as long as eh is sure they won't stop him from saving others. He is a battlefield doctor who no longer needs to worry about who he can save or not and he acts like it.<br/><br/>
