	FULL NAME: Simon Tam NICKNAMES/ALIASES: Doc SERIES/FANDOM: Firefly AGE/DATE OF BIRTH: Nov 30 2490 GENDER: Male SPECIES: Human SEXUALITY: Straight ALIGNMENT: Neutral HOUSING: Random OCCUPATION: Doctor
	Abilities
	While Simon isn't on the level of genius that his sister is he is incredibly intelligent to the point he finished high school and medical school earlier. He is an incredibly gifted trauma surgeon, has the ability to work under pressure while keeping a calm head and in general is just highly intelligent. He is also incredibly loyal to his sister and will do anything for her including breaking the law.
	Weaknesses
	Simon is incredibly stubborn when it comes to things and hates backing down and admitting he is wrong. He is also incredibly proud and sometimes arrogant about his abilities though not so much these days as he used to be. He is also generally bad with people though after his time on Serenity he is improving (slightly).
	Personality
	Simon is intelligent and hard working. While not as intelligent as River who is exceptionally gifted he isn't lacking in that area. He worked hard all of his life to become a doctor something he dreamed of and ended up achieving that much to his delight. He also completed his training quickly, just showing how dedicated and intelligent he actually is. He isn't just book smart though. Perhaps not at first but he quickly learned how to become so when he had to first rescue his sister and then on Serenity just to survive the jobs that he went on. Simon has a strong sense of loyalty to those who are close to him. First and foremost it is his sister River, who he will do anything to protect. Otherwise he is loyal to himself, his beliefs and later on he is somewhat loyal to the crew of Serenity. Depending on the situation he will have his allegiance changed. He used to be at one point loyal to the Alliance but after he had to rescue River, it was to her and himself. Slowly he is starting to branch out though and starting to trust Kaylee and the others but he still doesn't completely trust them and perhaps never will. He isn't one to back down from arguments or from doing what he believes is right, especially when his sister is involved. While he isn't violent and prefers to discuss things he can come up with a good argument and isn't afraid of voicing his opinions even when they aren't popular. He believes that you have an opinion and it doesn't matter if it is different to other peoples. Simon isn't great with people despite being a doctor. He always means well but sometimes he just doesn't succeed at that. Still his heart is in the right place and he tries which is the main thing. Growing up on a core planet he was raised to be incredibly polite and that is something that he has kept despite his adventures on Serenity and falling in with the 'wrong' crowd so to speak. He's polite and has expectations that come from growing up on a core planet that sometimes come off as making him arrogant. He doesn't mean to, it's just the way that he is. As time has passed he has become less so but it is still very much there as part of his personality.
