Citadel Notes Pt. 2 - Characters
🕑 Added 2022-03-28 18:27:34 +0000 UTCPart 2 of the Citadel outline I dug up, this time focusing on the characters. Can you figure out which characters made the cut into the published product?
The main character just finished up at UCSF’s medical school and is in their late 20s. They originally grew up in the Bay Area and can have different motivations on why they wanted to join Citadel Health. Citadel Health pays for their room and board in Hudson.
The main character lives with their college/medical school best friend in a two-bedroom apartment in Hudson. Their best friend will be in the opposite residency compared to the main character (i.e. if the main character is in primary care, their roommate will be in chronic disease management). Their best friend will be loud and boisterous.
If the main character chooses the chronic diseases management residency, they will be paired with Resident #1. Resident #1 is calm, collected, and detailed-oriented. They will be cordial toward you, but slightly reserved. This can change depending on how you interact with them.
Your boss in this route will be Attending #1. They’re quite famous, since they were one of the ones who first pioneered NINO on patients. They have their secrets, however. They are impressed with your pedigree, and will give off a “friendly mentor” vibe. Whether you buy into this or not is your prerogative.
If the main character chooses the primary care residency, they will be paired with Resident #2. Resident #2 is very passionate about social issues. They are here to change who has access to NINO—and maybe dig up some secrets along the way. Resident #2 is very abrasive, and will always start out disliking you because you came from the Bay Area/UCSF.
Your boss in this route will be Attending #2. They dislike Attending #1 and just want you to do your job. They have become slightly embittered with how flawed the Citadel Health system is, and they’ve developed a reputation for clashing with the administration. However, there’s no doubt that Attending #2 is an excellent physician, especially when advocating for patients. They’re extremely blunt.
