Aak

Aak is a medical personnel recommended by Mr. Lee from Lee's Detective Agency and is known for his expertise in underground medicine in the gray zones of Lungmen. Despite his questionable style of practice, Aak possesses extensive medical knowledge and clinical experience. Dr. Kal'tsit's evaluation led to his provisional recommendation to the medical equipment department and technological development team.

Aak is described as an operator with a constant hippie-like grin and a devil-may-care attitude that extends even to his medical practice. He tends to crack jokes about his patients' injuries during treatment, which may be concerning to some. However, his medical techniques are unmatched within Rhodes Island, and he is highly regarded for his skills. He spends most of his time in his own small laboratory, which emits strange smells and unsettling cackling, deterring others from getting too close.

Although Aak generally doesn't get along well with other operators, there are three notable exceptions. The first is Hung, who serves as his natural nemesis. Hung treats Aak like a little brother and resolves any unbearable situations involving Aak. The second is Waai Fu, with whom Aak unexpectedly developed a good relationship as fellow members of the detective agency. Waai Fu sees Aak as fundamentally good, while Aak considers Waai Fu old-fashioned but still manageable. If Aak causes trouble, calling Waai Fu instead of Hung leads to entertaining scenes. The third is Warfarin, who engages Aak in frequent academic discussions on medicine after Aak discovers Warfarin's true identity as "Mr. Blood." Their shared unconventional views make them an unexpectedly compatible duo, often resulting in laughter and cheering from their laboratories.

Aak's views towards medicine are shaped by his upbringing in the black zone. He perceives medicine as inherently limited and recognizes that it exists due to the harm inflicted upon people. He resents his colleagues for solely focusing on saving lives without addressing the root causes of conflicts. Aak's radical and fringe thoughts, influenced by the bloody reality he experienced, lead to his immature and sometimes controversial behavior. However, Rhodes Island acknowledges his ideas and provides him with the best possible conditions to help him mature into a phenomenal doctor.

Aak's attitude during his second elite promotion is surprising but understandable upon closer examination. He sees himself as even more useless if medicine is deemed useless. His increasing medical proficiency intensifies his self-rejection. Yet, leaving medicine behind leaves him purposeless. Rhodes Island becomes a place where Aak is recognized, accepted, and reminded of his skills. The organization addresses the issues that fuel his resentment towards medicine by not relying solely on pharmaceutical solutions. Aak finds Rhodes Island to be a suitable place where his ideals can be realized, and the organization is committed to supporting him in his pursuit.

Aak will also call the Doctor, my dude, more often than not.
