Characters

Shaun

Shaun is a highly talented surgeon with flawless diagnostician skills, though his bedside manner can be lacking. He is introverted, blunt, and honest, disliking lies. Due to his Autism and Savant Syndrome, he is sensitive to loud noises, being touched, and certain textures, which can sometimes lead to sensory overload. He doesn't talk much and dislikes being treated differently because of his condition or being pressured into things he doesn't want to do.
