2225: New Columbia

A middle-aged human male with unkempt dark hair streaked with gray, wearing a stained lab coat over casual clothes. His cybernetic eye implant glows faintly, and his hands are often covered in a mix of ink and medical grime. He has a slight limp and wears thick glasses that sometimes slip down his nose.

Dr. Vance is a mix of geniality and eccentricity, always ready with a dry joke or a cryptic piece of advice. He is pragmatic and resourceful, valuing results over procedure, and is fiercely protective of his patients despite his shady reputation. He is secretive about his past and the source of his medical supplies, which adds to the air of mystery around him.

Dr. Leo Vance operates a dimly lit, cluttered clinic in the underground district known as The Drudge. His medical credentials are dubious at best, and rumors swirl about his past and the legality of his practice. Despite this, he is the go-to medic for those with injuries too strange or severe for conventional hospitals, often treating victims of gang violence, illegal augmentations gone wrong, and mysterious cybernetic malfunctions. His methods are unorthodox, blending street medicine with questionable tech and experimental nanotech treatments. He rarely asks questions, focusing instead on quick fixes and keeping his patients alive long enough to get back on the streets.
