Character Information:
Name: Stuart Bayldon
Canon: Sirens
Canon Point: 01x06 - "Cry."
Age: 33
Type of Character: Canon - CRAU from Scorched
Reference: Sirens @ Wikipedia
Setting Concepts: Sirens is designed to be as close to real life as possible, and emulate real life situations. There isn't much change between canon and real life apart from fictionalised organisations.
NHS: The UK National Health Service provides free healthcare and Ambulance transport to residents of the United Kingdom who pay National Insurance and taxes in order to maintain it. The functions of the NHS are split into regional "trusts", who maintain hospitals, ambulances and other services.
West Riding Ambulance Service - NHS Foundation Trust: The West Riding Ambulance Service provides Emergency Ambulance services to the city of Leeds and it's hospitals. West Riding employs many people, from EMTs and Paramedics to admin staff and counselors.
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT): An EMT is the standard on-the-road ambulance crew-member employed by West Riding. They have access to a number of emergency life-saving techniques and equipment, but are not allowed to prescribe drugs, intubate airways, or perform more invasive techniques, such as cardiac massage. Stuart and his crewmates are an EMT-grade crew.
Paramedic: A Paramedic is someone who holds a registration, similar to a doctor or nurse, and is able to employ more life-stabilising techniques, such as drugs, administered via IV, and other invasive techniques. A team leader is often a Paramedic, such as Stella Woodvine, Stuart's team leader.
Personality: The best way to describe Stuart Bayldon is "prickly fuck-wit." This is a term coined by his best friend Ashley Greenwick, and is the best way to describe his outward personality. Stuart dislikes social situations, and often comes across as acerbic, sarcastic and with a superior, know-it-all attitude.
This isn't all there is to him, however. Stuart has an intimacy problem which, according to his friend Maxine, stems from the fact his father left him. It takes Stuart a while to actually open up and say what's really on his mind. This is shown in the first episode, when, after insulting Maxine, it takes him 24 hours to go and apologise and explain why he did what he did.
Stuart keeps mostly to himself. He's very defensive about his innermost feelings, likely due to the intimacy issue. When he's with Rachid and Ashley, he's a wise-cracking, snarky, sarcastic bastard. He rarely shows his inner feelings, and that's only to Maxine and, on occasion, Ashley, as these are the people he trusts more than anything.
He shows a severe dislike for anyone who tries to understand how he's feeling. Psychiatrists seem to be the top of this. He has a strong dislike of Kirsty Schelmerdine, the hospital's shrink, and constantly tries to prove her wrong in her assumptions about this. The key point was when Stuart intentionally suppressed the effects of "Up, Horny, Down."
Professionally, Stuart is incredibly confident in his own abilities. He knows exactly what to do in dire situations, when time is of the essence, or equipment is denied. He shows great decision-making skills and is shown to be a born leader solely by knowledge.
He has a strong sense of pride. When Rachid attempts to become the "alpha male" of the crew, Stuart fights back with a vehement passion to defend his position and succeeds. He has strong determination, and dislikes being proved wrong. He will fight his opinion to the death.
He can't cry. He feels an emotional detachment to everything, and is of the opinion that death is simply a part of life.
In summary, on the outside, Stuart is hard to get along with, hard to deal with and dislikes social interaction. On the inside, however, you can see how much of his exterior is to protect the real personality from being hurt too much. Only his true friends see this side.
Appearance:
Abilities: Stuart is a mere human. He has no natural powers from his own world. Stuart knows, in his own words, shitloads. He's a plethora of trivia, knowledge and opinion. He even said himself that if he had the money, he would have become a doctor. His knowledge mostly centres around biology and emergency care. While not being qualified, he can perform complicated emergency proceedures such as open cardiac massage. He's a skilled Ambulance Technician, and very knowledgeable about his chosen field.

Writing Samples:
Third Person: The Mist was a dangerous thing. Everyone in Anatole knew that. Yet, some people felt the compulsion to just... wander into it.
That's exactly what happened to Stuart Bayldon. If asked why he did such a stupid and dangerous thing, he wouldn't have an answer. He woke up one day, got dressed in his greens, grabbed the trauma backpack from the clinic and just... set off walking. Deeper and deeper into the Mist, and the further he got, the more the effects punched through the fog of the compulsion that brought him here.
It started with the hallucinations. Hearing voices of people he knew, both in Anatole and back home. Shadows, things. Some ran away, others ran towards him, causing him to flinch and close his eyes... and, yet, he was strangely calm. Another effect of this much Mist. The further he went, the more exhausted he became. He started seeing things that were a bit more convincing; the open back of an ambulance, Maxine's kitchen.
Stuart knew they were just hallucinations, that the Mist was playing on his mind. He likes to think he's above being able to be tricked by mere images... but something about all of this was real. He couldn't shake the feeling fully... So, he pressed on, trying to ignore it.
...And then it started. The effects only felt in the deeper levels of the Mist surrounding Anatole. It started off as a fever, and then got slowly worse. A burning sensation across his skin, spreading like fire over his whole body. Stuart had to stop, the all-encompassing fog making him feel claustrophobic. His chest heaves as he panics, and then he coughs, pulling his hand away, seeing it stained with blood.
Wiping a hand across the corner of his mouth, he noticies more blood. His vision starts to swim and he falls to his knees. He can feel his nose start to bleed, and liquid forming in his tear-ducts that's staining his vision red.
He passes out, face down on the ground, the Mist flowing over his unconscious form.
Network: Well, this is another bloody shitstorm, isn't it?
[Have an incredibly sour-sounding, annoyed voice coming over the consoles. It shows a man dressed in green, flecks of red still on his face, despite cleaning up at the Welcome Center.]
So, apparently, I've went from the hell-city of mist to the back of a giant turtle. Forgive me if I'm not entirely convinced this isn't a product of my imagination brought to life by someone fucking around with magic again.
Yes. It's happened. Yes. It's fucking annoying. If it is that, please stop. If it's the Mist, well, I guess I just have to wait this fuckery out.
[A pause, then a heavy sigh.]
I've also been advised to speak to a doctor. Seems bleeding from the eyes, nose and mouth isn't "normal". Obviously.
[He folds his arms]
I don't think I need to tell you that I feel fine, although I will need a pair of gloves and if someone has an asthma inhaler knocking around, Salbutamol... a blue one, that'd be great.
Additional Information - CRAU Characters:
Game Origin: Scorched
CRAU Changes: One of the biggest changes is in Stuart's physiology. He was physically changed in order to withstand the Mist surrounding Anatole. To quote Scorched's player guide: a Scorched's physiology has been changed by the Mist in order to allow him or her to survive contact with its energy. and There is, however, one universal effect: the Scorched are ageless. For a character over the age of 30, their aging becomes fixed at their current place. If a character is under the age of 30, their age will become fixed at any point between 18 and 30, player's choice.
There was a mechanic which allowed someone to give a character powers, change, or modify existing ones and suchlike. I gave Stuart abilities beyond what his universe would allow. His powers are two-fold. The first one will be the ability to sense when people he's close to are in trouble. If this sense is ignored, it starts to manifest as a headache that gets more intense the longer he ignores it, and how dire the situation is. It doesn't tell him who's in trouble, but it does, at least, not go off every time they lose their keys.
...Only sometimes.
The second is, if a person is feeling stressed, direct skin contact will cause a surge of adrenaline in Stuart, and cause him to experience the body's natural reaction to adrenaline, which Stuart eloquently puts as...

Essentially, Stuart will experience a euphoric period, lasting approximately 4-8 hours, the "up," a period of increased sexual need, the "horny," and a period of depression, the "down." Stuart, however, is a self, and foolishly-taught, master at repressing these feelings, but if it constantly happens, it may overwhelm even him.
