I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.

GROUP: Somnium Staff

OCCUPATION School Nurse

PLAY-BY: Alan Rickmanappearance
Build wise, Kyle stands at 6’1” and keeps in shape. He has blonde hair, worn short and green eyes. Kyle has two distinguishing features: a tattoo of an ankh on his left shoulder blade; tattoo of the number ‘42’ on his right shoulder blade.
Due to the nature of his work more than anything else, it is rare to see Kyle wearing anything aside from a plain shirt and slacks. Even when not on the job, he tends to wear his black lab coat. He always has a pocket knife and some Band-Aids on him.personality
As a doctor, Kyle may act laid back and aloof, but nothing that means more to him than his patients. He is always willing to go the extra mile regardless. Outside of school/work, Kyle is somewhat outgoing, loves playing games, and will bore you to death with details on the latest medical breakthrough if you let him. He also enjoys making people laugh, although he knows he’s not very funny.
Likes: Gardening, music, vodka, games, sushi, swimming
Dislikes: His last name, boredom, tequila, religion, smoking (he doesn't mind when other smoke, its just not for him)
Fears: Breaking down again
Kyle suffers from somniphobia. He knows his fear is completely irrational, he just hasn’t found time to deal with it (or so he convinced himself.)
Goals: Travel to the moon, learn Japanesefamily & history

OTHER FAMILY: Cat: Ghost
HISTORY:
The Ehrlich family was not always as well off as they are today. Marcus and Ellita worked hard to provide for their family. Their diligence was rewarded when Marcus was made editor, then eventually senior editor of a national newspaper. They passed on the importance of earning your rewards in life to their children: Kyle and Zody.
Kyle decided early that the one thing he wanted to do in life was help people. In his mind, the best way to do this was to become a doctor. He graduated with honors and quickly obtained his medical license. He devoted himself to his work and studies, leaving little time for social activities.
During an internship in an ICU, Kyle began to doubt his career choice. Despite his best efforts, he could not master keeping his patients at a distance. He bonded and empathized with them. Whenever Kyle was unable to help or a patient would die, he would become withdrawn and depressed.
After a low period involving heavy drinking, self pity, and introspection Kyle pulled himself together and decided to move forward. He returned to school briefly and changed his specialization to pediatrics. Although happy with his decision, Kyle still wasn’t ready to return to medicine full time. He spent the next couple years working in various clinics around England, never staying in one place for very long. He applied for the position of Somnium’s school nurse on a whim and, when he was accepted, took it as a sign that it was time to stop moving around.
This will be his third year at Somnium.dream form
Kyle’s Dream Form is a black gryphon. Kyle believes the gryphon represents a desire to travel and the feeling of restlessness he gets from staying in one place for too long. He also suspects it may be a mental reminder that he tends to fly away from his personal problems at first rather than deal with them head on.
While in dream form, Kyle enjoys flying from square to square, watching the dreams below him and trying to take in as much as possible. He has recently become fascinated with the Maelstrom and testing how close he can get to it without losing control of his flight.
