Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti Like me for my antidotes, LOVE me for my anecdotes!

PERSONALITY Ravi is a ball of sunshine! He’s friendly, optimistic, has an excellent sense of humour, and is always ready with some sort of quip. He’s endlessly enthusiastic about many things and would happily ramble on about a favourite topic for awhile. He’s also a geek, so those favourite topics range from video games and pop culture, to his past as a “wand-head”. He spends a lot of down-time playing video games and MMORPGs as a way to unwind, and is apparently very good at them. Not everyone can be a level 70 demon hunter in Diablo III, okay? Being a good Brit means he’s also into sports! Well, he’s into soccer. And not so much participating as watching. West Ham ‘til he dies! On a side note, he thinks American football is intriguing, but definitely not better than soccer. Ravi is brilliant! It takes more than your average Joe to get through medical school, work for the CDC (and then get dumped by the CDC), work as a forensic pathologist, and also find a cure(-ish) for zombiism! He considers himself at the forefront of this field, mostly because no one else is working in it, since they refuse to acknowledge its existence. Aside from his professional interest in zombiism, he is also pursuing a cure because he is such a loyal friend. He genuinely wants to help Liv become human again and is always incredibly supportive of her. Ravi even starts an epic bromance with her ex-fiance, dates her best friend, and does things like trying to dig up corpses with illicit drugs and testing 200+ brands of condoms to see if they’ll prevent transmission of the zombie-virus. This may all sound kind of creepy, but is actually very sweet in context. Ravi does not lack for confidence. He is very secure in his looks, his brains, his personality, and his British accent is just the extra icing! He apparently grew up in a nurturing environment with loving parents and at times can be very charming with the ladies, despite occasional strike-outs. It’s not that Ravi isn’t brave, it’s just that his video game experience hasn’t actually equipped him with any real skills to engage in hand-to-hand combat, or firearm combat, or combat of any kind. He’d still try if necessary, especially if a friend is in trouble, but it probably won’t be impressive in the slightest.

ABOUT Originally from the UK, Ravi is currently working as a medical examiner with the Seattle PD. He scored this position after being drummed out of his previous job with the Centre for Disease Control when everyone got tired of his conspiracy theories about man-made plagues and biological warfare. So it was to his great delight (and personal vindication) when he discovered his newest resident - Liv Moore - is a genuine, living-ish zombie! Unlike the murderous mobs Liv had envisioned, Ravi enthusiastically accepts and embraces her zombie-status, confident that with the appropriate research he’ll be able to find a cure for her condition. On top of being an excellent boss, he also becomes a loyal and caring friend who always has Liv’s back, or at least some spare brains to get her through the day. When not pursuing his own - generally geeky - pursuits, Ravi dedicates a lot of time to studying zombies and conducting research to find a cure for Liv’s zombiism. He’s managed to find the initial trigger for zombiism (a potent combination of drugs and an energy drink) and has even managed to create his own line of zombie rats! Two of the cures he’s cultivated so far have been successful, but only to a point: the first resulted in reversion to zombie state several months later followed by death, the second resulted in complete memory loss. Nevertheless, he continues to pursue a cure for the sake of his friends. Ravi’s time in the infamous Camp Fuck U Die was pretty brief and fairly uneventful, all things considered. Although he attempted to further pursue his research on zombiism, his status as the very last medical professional in Camp saw him mostly sitting around at the fairly abandoned hospital keeping his unruly, gorilla nursing staff in line, and trying not to run out of names that started with “R” for them all. APPEARANCE TALL. EXCELLENT BEARD AND HAIR. Apparently him being this attractive is just icing on the cake. And he's British-Indian! British-Indian is kind of a physical trait? ABILITIES Super... brain powers? He's really smart. Like, kind of brilliant. Apparently very good at video games and plays a were-terrier with healing abilities named "Arf Vader" on an MMORPG. Oh, also a doctor, but deals with the "cutting people open" and research-side of things. Apparently not great at stitching people up, oops.
