OOC:
How much do you know about first-aid and general medicine?:
I have my CPR certifications, and I have a basic understanding of medical needs. Along with a bit of psychology.
Give us 3 examples of injuries, and their resolution:
Anxiety - This is an illness that can affect many, while some may be prescribed medication, you can also take measures such as teaching them breathing exercises that may assist in calming their anxiety or techniques that may help them feel less anxious.
Choking - In a sense I consider this an injury of some sort. Ways to deal with this may be the Heimlich maneuver or even CPR if required, depending on the severity of the situation.
BPD (Bipolar Disorder)—A disorder that regulates someone's mood; it can come in waves of episodes. It may affect someone's daily life severely or minorly depending on the severity of the illness, and if left unmedicated, it could put the individual or others around them at risk.
Why do you want to join the hospital faction on Echoes? Answer this OOC:
In truth I want to experience other forms of RP I’ve done basic medical RP however not one where I was able to help people try to overcome mental illnesses—it’s a good opportunity for a change of pace. Plus imagine the amazing lore.
How would you deal with someone that was FailRPing inside of the hospital?:
Firstly, I’d ask them and advise them to “Stop FailRP’ing.” If it continues, however, I’d reach out to a staff member by opening a ticket regarding the situation while grabbing evidence of FailRP so that the player may be warned and properly disciplined.
Provide us with 2 some-what detailed actions of your character helping an injured person. You can choose the injury or illness.
/me Takara pulled up a rolling chair as she sat unraveling the bandage, donning sterile gloves as she took a bit of gauze, applying firm, secure pressure to the wound, and she began to work swiftly and efficiently to wrap it with pressure and clean bandaging, securing the bandaging. “There, now be sure not to itch or wet the bandaging. If you absolutely must come back so that we can re-wrap and adjust it.”
/me Takara grabbed a pair of gloves, putting them on before grabbing a small light. She then approached the patient. “Please open wide for me.” She then proceeded to shine a small light into the back of the patient's throat, observing the patient's throat and noticing the enlarged uvula and sourness in the back of their throat. Then she created a bit of space between herself and the patient. “It appears you have signs of strep throat. My suggestion to you is lots of rest and try to gargle a bit of salt water. There will be some discomfort, so I’ll prescribe you a bit of Benzoate. It’ll open the throat and assist with the pain.”
Provide us with your character’s backstory. Please attempt to limit yourself to more-or-less 1,500 words (maximum 2,500):
Takara or more known as ‘Hime’ Lavoie was born in Quebec, Canada. She was born to a set of lovely parents who’d been college sweet hearts Hanna and Nicholas Lavoie. They raised their daughter with utmost precision ensuring she was well respectable and intelligent. From a young age they sought to push her closer to the medical field, as it was high paying, and they wanted nothing but the best for her. Due to her parents' gestures towards the medical field, Takara naturally began to gravitate to it. Seeming intrigued by the ways of the mind, she sought to become a therapist and help people further understand how to combat their mental health.
At the age of 16, Takara grew anxious; she developed social anxiety, constantly shaking at the sight of others. Her family, concerned for her, homeschooled her until she went to university. In fear too much social stimulation would harm her, they did what they could to re-acclimate her to society and others. Throughout the years, eventually her social anxiety lessened, and she learned to manage it more properly. Only pushing her towards the medical field even more as she struggled with it herself and wanted to help others.
Despite her mental struggles, she had a few friends: Marianna and Tonia Hanjo. These two siblings would grow to be her close friends as she went through homeschooling and university. From pen pals to lifetime friends, they were all she had, yet they benefited her greatly, even being part of the reason she was able to overcome the majority of her social anxiety. They pushed her to socialize during university and helped her accomplish some goals and applauded her at big moments. They were her support system for the majority of her life. Eventually, after university, she began to intern at a hospital in Quebec. Soon enough, she began to seek further knowledge and figured moving to the Americas was the best opportunity. Though it’d be sad leaving her family behind, she knew it would greatly benefit her learning, and they’d be proud nonetheless. Eventually she moved to East Falls and began to study medicine there for some time. Leaving us to the current day, where she is now...

We will consider you for hiring once it is submitted. We will try to get back to you as soon as we possibly can. Thank you again!” The paper was signed by the hospital director.

What position are you applying for? You may state a position that is not currently available, and it will be checked once that slot opens:
“I am applying for the position of therapist. I want to help others overcome their mental traumas and issues they may not realize they have.”
Why do you want to work on our team?:
“The East Falls Clinic has a great reputation for being reputable for their work in helping others in the city. Given the large gang violence, they’ve also done a great job at building the trust of the community in helping them heal most injuries, whether that be mental or physical.”
Provide a list of staff titles and their jobs/descriptions:
Hospital Director—Manages the Hospital and It’s staff; they also decide paychecks and hiring, etc.
Doctor—The primary person the majority of patients are directed to first when dealing with a physical injury. They direct you to the following depending on the severity of the injury.
Surgeons—they take on procedures for transplants and other serious things such as cracked-open skulls, etc. They are more hands-on with the needle.
Psychiatrist—They are to assist patients in discovering the way their brain processes and diagnose them if needed depending on their mental wellness.
Therapist - Assisting patients in further understanding their mental illness and assisting them in ways to deal with it properly.
Whilst in the hospital how should you and your co-workers behave? If you see something wrong, what should you do about it?:
“We should all be behaving in a professional manner, as it is our workplace and a setting of professionalism. If someone was acting out of line, I’d suggest to them to act correctly before informing a superior, as it’s unacceptable and could look bad on the clinic if it were to continue.”
What experience do you have working in a medical setting? If none, put N/A:
“I interned at a hospital in Quebec, Canada, whilst receiving my degree in psychology and medicine. During that time I experienced an array of patients, from those dealing with minor injuries to more serious illnesses, both mental and illnesses of the mind.”
What responsibilities do you hold as a hospital staff member?:
“As a staff member, my goal is to do my job properly while helping others to make theirs easier if possible. I am to assist patients and my fellow clinicians as told whilst completing my job to the fullest.”
How would you manage a patient that was being uncooperative or rowdy?:
“My first instinct would be to attempt to calm the patient, as perhaps they’re acting out of a fit of emotion. If this were to falter or be in vai,n I’d then seek to neutralize them if they began to become a physical danger to those around them. However if a lack of physical restraint would be possible, I’d try my best to achieve it through words rather than getting force involved.”
The paper ended with another message: “Thank you for taking the time to fill out this paper. We truly appreciate it! Before you can submit this, please sign the document!”
The document was signed with Takara's name both in kanji and her formal signature.
The EFPD—officially the East Falls Police Department, but let’s not pretend they’re anything more than a logo on a half-empty building has been around for years. But what have they really been doing all that time? Once upon a time, East Falls dealt with low-level stuff—some kid shoplifting, the occasional neighborhood squabble. Now? People are ending up in the hospital or worse—and the cops are nowhere to be found.
So what gives?
Has the East Falls PD simply decided crime’s no longer their business? Or have they just gotten too comfortable behind the safety of their squad cars and stale donut boxes to do what they were sworn to do?
Lately, hostage situations have become the new normal in East Falls. People are being held at knifepoint, stabbed, and traumatized—and the police show up late, if they show up at all. These aren’t isolated cases. This is a pattern. And while the city bleeds, the EFPD stands around with their thumbs in their belts, sipping coffee and shrugging like it’s all above their pay grade.
It's not just negligence—it’s apathy. It’s cowardice. And frankly, it’s insulting to every resident trying to survive in this city.
East Falls deserves better than a badge and a PR statement. We need action. We need accountability. Because right now, the only thing more dangerous than the criminals... is the silence from the people who are supposed to stop them.
And if the police can’t handle that job, maybe it’s time we stop pretending they can.
This is Zara Campbell with the Falls Chronicle, signing off.

What are you apply for (lore/event)?: Lore Team
What do you want to be a writer for Echoes?:
I honestly want to assist in the writing. I've noticed it’s lacking members. However, the work is still wonderful considering the fact I’ve seen how the server originally was going to play out when ownership was passed. It’s a genuinely good concept and I like the idea and I’d love to help contribute to it.
How do you think our current writing could be improved?:
Currently, it’s fine, I wouldn’t change about it but I would change the amount of people working on it. When I say that I mean get more people writing because it’s hard on one singular person or a small group of three. You’re working on something that will continue to develop meaning, other branches of it will open allowing there to be more exploration and creativity with the writing itself.
