Do the doctors, nurses and other medical experts, either working at the Grim HEX hospital or whatever medical facilities we find in Pyro, tend to work for the gangs themselves, or are they working for some Doctors Without Borders kind of thing?
TL;DRGrim HEX doctors are imagined as independent, often disgraced practitioners protected by the Nine Tails rather than gang members; a Doctors Without Borders type is an interesting idea, and some clinic additions are coming.
The Doctors Without Borders thing is interesting. Actually, I hadn't thought about that. Most of the ones that we had been talking about thus far, at least for Grim HEX, was the idea that they were probably disgraced doctors, people who had gotten addicted to drugs or had been drummed out for something, and this was the only way that they could make ends meet. Or they just happened to be handy with a saw. But it could be really interesting to have a Doctors Without Borders type character who's volunteering their time to go out here and provide adequate medical care for people who are living in a very dangerous environment. It's a humanitarian thing.
I really want a player to use their Apollo to do this in Pyro.
But as far as, does that imply that the doctors at Grim HEX work for the Nine Tails? I would probably say no. I would imagine that they would be an independent group.
Yeah, especially at Grim HEX. There's a lot of independent operators that are running shops and stuff who are under the protection of the Nine Tails. Maybe they would treat a Nine Tails member better than they would treat someone else because they're in charge, but they're not gang members.
We showed a bunch of the new aprons and costume libraries for the vendors yesterday, and I flat out put it to Ian, I'm like, let me see a surgeon in Grim HEX with a bloody Whammer's apron. Moonlighting: Whammer's by day, Grim HEX surgeon by night, doesn't change his clothes.
Yeah, I won't spoil anything, but there's going to be some fun additions going in to give the Grim HEX clinic a bit of a unique flavor.
