Character Name: Mordin Solus Character Series: Mass Effect Character Age: Roughly mid-thirties, fairly old for a Salarian Background:http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mordin_Solus Mordin is taken from right after Horizon
Personality:
Mordin is at first glance an easy going, talkative Salarian who never blows you off for calibrations. He's always ready with advice and commentary on the current situation. While he has no great interest in romance, he is willing to give advice to others as to how to pursue it safely. He is a dedicated and creative scientist, capable of coming up with solutions to extremely challenging problems. A genius, in fact, but more importanly he is excited by discovery. Indeed, the portions that involve waiting make him rather impatient.
Mordin believes strongly that the ends justify the means. He tends to analyze situations from what he believes to be an impartial logical standpoint for the greater good. He does not shy away from what might seem to be morally questionable decision if it appears to be the path which provides the greatest overall benefit to society as a whole.
While this is his overall goal, he has struggled with some decisions he made, notably his work on enhancing a biological weapon intended to induce sterility in Krogans. While he maintains that keeping the Krogan population in check was for the greater good of the galaxy, the large scale implications did disturb him. However, he also felt responsible to see the project through rather than unload the responsibility onto anyone else. He is not one to run from his own decisions. While he did wish the work would have fallen to someone else, he also fears that anyone else would have made the situation worse.
Opting to serve the greater good through a medical clinic was a considerably simpler option. He does not appear to have difficulty reconciling the many people he has killed with medical ethics, keeping the two very distinct. This did not even come into conflict during his ruthless defense of his clinic, as he considers killing dangerous people just as helpful as healing patients. He makes a point of noting that while he has used many unusual methods to kill, he has never used medicine to do harm. He also has a very strong personal rule against experimenting on sentient subjects.
Mordin processes emotional fallout very rapidly. He claims this is a general Salarian species trait due to their short lifespans. However, he would no doubt be appalled were we to take his word on the matter without a larger sample size to analyze.
While he does not have a personal interest in art, he considers its existence to be an important aspect of life. He believes the loss of it to be a great diminishment of life, rendering it devoid of overall meaning. He considers it to be demonstration of a soul. While he does not subscribe to a particular religion, having found them all lacking in answers after his questions about the genophage, he does maintain a certain degree of spirituality.
Abilities: Mordin's powers are technological rather than innate
Sample Entry: Recent wave of surgeries fascinating. Additional body parts well beyond apparent technological capabilities of town. Built up entire vascular systems. Not trivial work. Nerves, bones, musculature. Impressive, even without successful final function. But pointless, math makes it clear. Aerodynamics not even remotely appropriate. Any good scientist could see that. [Sniff]
Fascinating work, but no overall benefit. Not appropriate. Human technology in this era primitive, but cognitive function similar. Clearly sentient. Not medicine.
