"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me"- Psalm 23:4
Ren is the Chief Attending Surgeon in the ER at Our Mother of Mercy Charity Hospital, where he also specializes in pediatric and neonatal surgery. Many of the children and hospital personnel call him Dr. Sunshine because he is never missing a beaming smile and has a positive prognosis for every kid, even when they seem to have one foot in the grave. Parents in the downtrodden Southie community quickly spread the term of endearment as they raved about the Dr who seemingly never came in to say, “I’m sorry but your child didn’t make it through surgery”.
This reputation quickly spread beyond the downtrodden neighborhood and attracted the attention of many of the upper class who wanted the Doctor with the perfect record in their upscale hospital where he could work helping "the children that matter". Ren has received many monetary offers from different benefactors at that hospital and turned down every one to stay at Our Mother of Mercy. When private bargaining didn't work these entitled individuals started playing mind games with those he worked with by making bribes to him at his hospital, in front of his colleagues.
Most of the Doctors and nurses he works with choose to see his rejections as a miraculously huge sacrifice that has kept the doors of Our Mother of Mercy open.Those close to him at the hospital know that the large majority of each paycheck he makes is donated back to the hospital for improvements. Unfortunately there were naturally bound to be some at the hospital who couldn't believe he was turning down such grand offers, when they would quickly jump on such an opportunity at advancement. Those two people soon became suspicious of his repeated rejections and came to see the endlessly optimistic doctor with a spotless surgery record in two different lights. One is his wannabe girlfriend, Nurse ____, who chooses to see Ren as someone who simply needs to be broken of foolish ties to this hospital so he can rise to the occasion while she rides his coattails or whatever else she can latch on to. The other is the eternally militant chief of surgery, Dr. Luke Fu, who is secretly jealous and resentful of Ren's perfect record and quick offers of advancement thus he tries to work Ren to the bone in his mad attempts to break the deviant doctor down and expose what must be “tricks” so that he can take the offers for himself.
Too bad the recruitment efforts don't stop with the wealthy. On top of his concerns with trying to maintain a safe human facade Ren is assaulted on nearly a daily basis by the efforts of his former brothers in The Brotherhood of Righteous Wrath to recruit him back into the safety of their folds. Often they simply hover around the patients with the darkest auras trying to get him to use his position to "cleanse humanity of it's filth before the apocalypse comes and satan claims them for his army" and "remember how good it feels to exact divine justice". When they aren't at his job they often use strong telepathic links to torture him in his brief periods of solitude with the "most memorable moments of their worldwide activities". Luckily Ren always seems to find solace in the patients he keeps safe on the job and the brief respite of those moments when he is finally uninterrupted by creatures that call themselves his brothers, and he actually gets to enjoy the unique off–the-clock activities that personally make him feel closer to God.
Background
My name is now Julian René Del’eaux III. God’s path currently has me leaving my European homeland for America. In my heart I know that he is pointing me in the right direction to find the answers I require, but as my flight departs from Paris I look back on the continent where I spent much of my life as this man and I’m reminded of a saying from his mortal mother:
- “In order to travel safely on life’s treacherous journey, you must always illuminate the path ahead of you by remembering not only the triumphs and errors you left behind, but the lessons left by those before you.”
It inspires me to chronicle the road I’ve taken and think about the people that have affected the course it has taken so far, whether directly or indirectly. So, before I proceed to lay out the pieces of my long life that brought me to the questions of today, it seems prudent to start by exploring what I know about Julian's parents, family, and the life he lead before his spirit moved on. To see why God guided me to his body as a vessel when he left it behind, and allowed my immortality to stay intact, but quite dampened in raw power so as to let the body adapt in such an intense transition.
Julian's Life Before Rebirth (simplified version)
Now that I've covered most of my mortal family's path to death's door and the small importance it will play in my human life I can finally start looking at what He wants to me to learn in this mortal life and what it means in the context of my own immortality and the journey back to heaven's gates:
