Community:Doc Blubbin

Doc Blubbin is a member of the Responders, and head doctor of Blub Hospital in Appalachia. He is well meaning, if largely inept.

Origins
Doc Blubbin was born a little ways out that-a-way, and definitely got a degree from an accredited doctorin university (Which you have obviously never heard of, it's very prestigious). He has made a fortune off of "prospecting" Chems and selling them to the wasteland's neediest, people he refers to as his "Patients".

Some time ago, Blubbin entered Appalachia in search of greener pastures after being chased out of the Capital Wasteland for turning one too many patients into ghouls. He had never seen a place like it. Such disease, such plague, such OPPORTUNITY! He quickly set to work, aiding the people of Appalachia with his "bountiful" medical experience.

Blubbin quickly became associated with the Responders, and worked as a travelling doctor for them, assisting the sick and needy where needed. Eventually he would have a close encounter with super mutants in the Cranberry Bog. They would capture and hold him prisoner in their camp, thinking of how best to cook the thin, and likely stringy man. He would manage to escape by convincing a mutant to add his entire stock of mentats to their cooking broth. The resulting high crippled the mutants long enough for him to make an escape.

Hiring The Snek Cobras
Following his close call with the mutants, Doc Blubbin came to the realization that if he were to die, the whole world would be left without the good he could do. To that end, he decided it would be a good idea to hire some protection. He traveled the region in search of an appropriate mercenary company to employ the services of.

His chance would come when he was waylaid in the Ash Heap by five raiders. While being robbed, he noted the fact that the leader of the group seemed wildly inexperienced, and the other four "raiders" inquired several times about when they would be receiving payment. Blubbin realized that the leader of the group had hired the rest to support him, and the four were likely mercenaries. Blubbin quickly proposed a new deal, he would double whatever the mercenaries were being paid if they released him and killed the leader. The words were hardly out of his mouth before the lead raider was killed by a man who identified himself as Solomon.

Upon his release, Blubbin immediately hired the mercenaries, who introduced themselves as The Snek Cobra Mercenary Company.

Cliffmarch
Doc Blubbin traveled safely with the mercenaries for a time, returning often to the mercenary's main base of operation at Snakewater Fastness in the southern Savage Divide. Over time, he noted that a small town was arising around the base, which was given the name Cliffmarch. The lack of a dedicated medical facility in the region inspired him to largely retire his wandering ways, and become the town doctor. To that end, he used the Snek Cobras to construct a state of the art medical facility on the edge of a cliff, a project which nearly bankrupted him.

Thankfully, the hospital ended up making it's money back quickly, with an influx of patients who were injured while insisting on fighting giant bats in a freshly nuked area in the nearby Cranberry Bog.

With this new success, Blubbin was able to hire an additional doctor named Solomon Hardy, as well as purchase a solid gold protectron. He also ascended to a position within the Town Council, which meets regularly in Sol's Speakeasy to discuss recent events and make decisions.

With the arrival of the Eco-Friendly Dunwich Cult in Cliffmarch, Blubbin has become a strong believer in the cults tenants of feeling good and having friends, and has become enamored with the High Priestess of Ug-Qualtoth.
