Character: Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti
Series: iZombie
Character Age: Late 20's/early 30's
Job: Zombie "Expert"
Canon: Olivia "Liv" Moore was a medical resident with a bright future, an adoring fiancé, and a perfect life ahead of her when a boat party gone wrong turned her whole world upside down. Waking up in a body bag with a sudden craving for brains and a paler complexion than before, Liv put two-and-two together, accepted her new zombie status, and gave up her once bright future to work at a morgue for easy access to brains. The side-effect of occasional flashbacks from snacking on brains also lands her a side-job as a fake psychic to help the police solve murders, as she navigates life as a secret-zombie.
Luckily for Liv, she finds herself an unexpected ally in Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti when he deduces Liv's secret zombie status and enthusiastically volunteers himself to find a cure for her "condition". Ravi is a brilliant, high-energy, confident, and sometimes awkward nerd who can always be counted on for a quip when needed. Originally from the UK, he was drummed out of his previous job with the Centre for Disease Control when everyone got tired of his conspiracy theories about man-made plagues and biological warfare, and ended up working as a forensic pathologist in Seattle. Kind of delighted at the idea of being right about zombies, the free time he has that isn't already devoted to geeky pursuits is spent researching the what, how, and why of Liv's condition, and whether it can be reversed. While his social filter isn't always turned on, he proves himself to be a loyal and caring friend who always has Liv's back, or at least some brains to get her through the day.
Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
Well, it all began on a cold, foggy night in London when-- I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, forensic pathologist, at your service. Can I treat this like we're playing "two truths and one lie"? Because if I can, then I'd say that I'm British, I'm basically brilliant, and I think American football is the superior sport.
... since we don't know each other very well yet, I feel compelled to clarify that American football is an acceptable sport, but is in fact rubbish when compared to real football. West Ham till I die!
Why are you joining our happy community?
In the wise words of one Fox Mulder: "The truth is out there". And no, contrary to popular belief, that isn't just the tagline of The X-Files, it's an actual line of dialogue.
Anyway, the point is I was long overdue for a sabbatical when I heard about your lovely establishment here and I thought, "Why not?" I mean, this place is basically teeming with all the things that everyone at the CDC refused to believe was a possibility. Zombies? Check. Tentacle monster? Check. Some kind of genetically engineered purple gorillas carrying out the orders of the person in charge? Double check! I mean, this place is basically everything I've ever dreamed about! In the bad way, I mean. Like prophetic, apocalyptic dreams of what's to come.
This is going to be so epic!
Do you think you are good in a crisis? Why?
Not only am I good in a crisis, I am INCREDIBLE in a crisis! There was this one time I was leading a raid on Stone Castle, which was being held by a team of troll-locks and fire-witches in what must be the most unholy union in the history of MMORPGs. I was casting gem spells left, right, and centre, keeping my team alive while holding our foes at bay when--
Oh. This was probably in reference to a real life crisis. In that case, please feel free to disregard everything I wrote above.
Do you consider yourself squeamish? Please provide an example.
Did you see the part where I said I'm a forensic pathologist? I crack open chests, handle human organs, basically eat my morning cereal over dead bodies on a daily basis. I don't even need to take my gloves off and wash my hands after an autopsy before eating my sandwich! Of course I do, because of OHS rules and common sense, but I don't need to because I am just that much of a badass when it comes to squeamish things.
Would you be able to dispose of the flesh of the undead? How?
That's classified information. If I told you, I'd have to kill you. You couldn't handle the truth.
Okay, but actually, do you have an hour? Because I've really put a lot of thought into this and the answer is going to take at least an hour.
