ABILITIES:
SKILLS:
WEAKNESSES:
- Healing Touch: Donny is able to heal any injury and possibly any disease with a touch - though it also works when he simply hovers his hands over the patient. The larger the injury the longer it takes to heal and more energy it takes from him to heal it. He's been able to heal sicknesses like the flu or the common cold but due to keeping his powers a secret, he hasn't been able to see if he can fully heal a disease like cancer. Healing injuries he can't see is the hardest and takes the longest, sometimes requiring multiple healing sessions - this for obvious reasons applies to diseases and other unseen/internal illnesses.
- Injury/Sickness Sense: He's able to sense when someone has an injury before he sees it or when they're sick. He doesn't know what injury it is until he sees it or what sickness they have until they divulge it but just by looking at them, he gets a feeling in his gut that they're hurt or sick and he's yet to be wrong.
SKILLS:
- Medicine: Donny has all the degrees in medicine as well as skills required to be one of the top doctors and surgeons in Astaria City, let alone the country. He uses this knowledge as a doctor and surgeon employed by the Oregon State Hospital and volunteers his time at the local Uniontown Hospital as well as his underground clinic, The Factory, in Haven.
- Genius: He's a child genius, having skipped several grades to graduate college at as a teenager. He primarily focuses this on learning and remembering medical related knowledge.
WEAKNESSES:
- Only Human: Donny's powers don't prevent him from getting hurt or getting sick.
- Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his ability often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
- Underground: His personal clinic is "underground," or illegal. This means he has to be extra careful about getting caught. If he gets caught and arrested, he risks losing his medical license.
- Himself: Healing himself, for reasons he hasn't figured out yet, seems to be harder than healing other people.
- Needs To See: While he can heal injuries, potentially even diseases, that he can't see, these injuries and medical conditions take longer to heal than injuries he can see.
- Insomnia: When he does find the time to sleep, he often has trouble falling asleep and has found himself having plenty of sleepless nights that he usually just goes down to his clinic and gets more work done.
- Overworked: Being one of the leading doctors and surgeons in Astaria City, he's called to consult on many cases and patients. He also feels guilty if he limits his help - and subtly using his healing powers on patients - to one single hospital. So while he's employed by the Oregon State Hospital, he volunteers at the Uniontown Hospital and then works for free at his own underground clinic, The Factory.
Appearance
GENERAL: Donny stands at six feet and one inch tall with a lanky build. His skin is a blush tone. His hair is short, curly, and a light red almost strawberry blonde shade. His irises are an amber color. He prefers wearing solid colors and outfits he thinks come off as sleek and stylish.
COSTUME: N/A

Personality
Donny is a kind man that believes every life has some sort of value regardless of what they've done or who they are. He believes as a doctor that he has the obligation to help anyone who needs him, including criminals. He's able to put his personal beliefs and feelings about certain people aside in order to do his job. He's protective of his clinic and of his patients while their in his charge. He may not know how to fight or even be any good in a fight, but he's willing to get into one in order to protect the people he cares about.
He's also a major nerd when it comes to medical science and biology. He could talk endlessly about how fascinating the human body is in regards to its biology. He gets excited when there's been a new breakthrough in the medical field. He's also sarcastic, especially but not limited to when he's annoyed with someone or a situation. While he's polite and professional when working at the Oregon State Hospital or Uniontown Hospital, he's been known to sass patients of his underground clinic, The Factory, when they don't listen to him and his medical advice.
Donny's also running on caffeine, specifically from coffee or energy drinks, majority of the time. Working at two different hospitals and his clinic plus suffering from insomnia means he doesn't get much sleep at all - and being a doctor means he knows how unhealthy that is for him but he'd feel too guilty if he cut back any of his hours at either hospital or the clinic and, well, he can't really control his insomnia.

History
Donny was born and raised in London, England. He grew up with his parents until a car accident that proved fatal for them. After the accident, at thirteen years old, his powers manifested but he wasn't able to heal either of his parents in time before he passed out and they passed away. He lived with his grandparents after that and decided to become a doctor, applying his genius level intellect to that and graduating college with a doctorate by the age of eighteen.
From then until he was twenty-three years old, he traveled the world doing humanitarian work and healing those he could, whether they were in developing nations or developed ones while he was waiting for a plane. He kept his powers a secret for the most part but occasionally someone would see, however they never seemed to say anything, just glad he'd helped them.
Roughly after he turned twenty-three, he decided to move to Astaria City, Oregon, applying for U.S. citizenship shortly after. He knew that Aegis' main headquarters were in the city and figured the people of Astaria could use someone with his powers. He easily got a job at the Oregon State Hospital in the city and shortly after started volunteering at the Uniontown Hospital. He considered joining Aegis but working at the hospitals allowed him to see all the collateral damage of the fights between heroes and villains. He didn't know if he'd be allowed to heal everyone, including the proclaimed "bad guys," if he joined Aegis.
That was a chance he couldn't take. He pushed away any thoughts of joining Aegis and bought an abandoned tile factory in Haven, using cash and a fake name. He called it simply The Factory and worked on turning it into a makeshift clinic. He continues to run The Factory quite efficiently by himself, unsure if he can risk hiring help, and through word of mouth, heroes, villains, and civilians alike can find their way to his aid.
