ThuNdeR, like the angry voice of god himself nearly shook the very foundation of the hospital late that evening. Lightning flashed, crashing so relentlessly, causing the lights to flicker… and the two massive diesel generators in the basement simultaneously roared to life. It was highly unusual for there to be such a severe thunderstorm in the beginning of January, especially in that northeastern region of the United States. But indeed, this did take place while Molly was giving birth to her son, Adam UhrHammer... And thinking about it now, I suppose it's only fitting for this odd occurrence to mark the start of a life riddled with HiDDeN abnormalities.
Born into wealth, growing up in his parents sprawling countryside estate and somewhat sheltered from mainstream society, everything in a glance would appear ordinary to the casual passerby from the outside looking in. But this seclusion, the lack of human contact caused Adam's vivid imagination to form a rather bizarre imaginary friend. Later as he grew older, this unseen "friend" became a split personality of his - A hideous BeAsT within...
Not having any brothers or sisters, the only time Adam was ever exposed to other children before attending school is when his mother would take him grocery shopping with her in town. She'd place him in the cart, push him around and he just sat there quiet as a mouse with his head on a swivel, trying to absorb every new aspect of the world surrounding him. The most disturbing thing which he could never understand up to that point in his brief life is how so many kids his own age would create a chaotic scene in public. The way they cried, drawing attention to themselves by screaming at the top of their lungs for some unknown reason actually confused him and he considered himself blessed to be the only child, not having to deal with this type of ridiculous nonsense on a regular basis from an annoying brother or sister. Though, that confusion soon turned into an obsession at the onset of Kindergarten.
More than anything, he wanted to find out what made people behave the way they do. He wanted to open them up to see what made them "tick," similar to how he curiously dissected his toys. And it was this profound fascination with humans and their anatomy which inspired Adam to follow closely in his father's footsteps, becoming a skilled family practitioner - Your FriEndlY neighborhood DoCtoR.
Now, one of the most mysterious things about Dr. UhrHammer is how he seems to defy age. It's been said he found the fountain of youth or perhaps invented some secret potion to hinder the aging process, since he's known to spend so much time dabbling in his lab... There's even a rumor floating around that he could possibly be a Vampire. Though convenient, how unsettling is it to think of your doctor as a blood-sucking monster? Nevertheless, all of Dr. UhrHammer’s patients find it quite taxing how he constantly wants to draw their blood, always reassuring them with his comforting tone, "It's for TesT purposes only."
Drapes tightly drawn over those two windows cause the waiting room to be somewhat dim, lit merely by a single lamp where a dozen or so magazines are randomly scattered on a small wooden table. A scent eerily similar to formaldehyde faintly fills the air... And oddly enough, unlike most other ordinary doctor's offices, there isn’t any soothing music softly playing to comfort a nervous patient's nerves. No. The only noticeable sound to be heard is the rhythmic ticking of a decorative antique clock mounted high upon the dark mahogany wall... Finally, a door slowly creaks open and standing there he nods, greeting you with a charismatic smile. “Right this way, please.”
The DoCtoR will see you now...
