Trauma Team Artbook Character Bio Lore

...As gleaned from running artbook scans from 2014 through a sketchy machine translation in the year 2023. I won't post the exact translations for fear of mistranslations ending up reported as fact on wikis and so on, but here's the gist of what Google Translate yields.

CR-S01

Is named Erhard Muller, a fact that already made the rounds in the 2010s

His nationality is also listed as German, though he clearly spent most of his life in America

Most of his backstory isn't anything new compared to in the games, but the artbook does provide a timeline: adopted by Professor Sartre at age 9 after his parents died, enrolled in medical school at age 12 and hailed as the youngest ever to do so, age 13 when Rosalia was adopted, age 16 when the Cumberland Institute incident happened

Erhard and Rose weren't super close siblings, but got along well enough and they had happy lives until the bioterrorism attacked

The government 100% knew Erhard wasn't the culprit when they arrested him - he was the public scapegoat because they couldn't find Albert Sartre, their real person of interest. They never stopped looking for Sartre, and S01's work to reduce his sentence was a quiet compromise for the fact that they, y'know, ruined this kid's life

After learning the truth, S01 is disappointed at his father's betrayal but also chooses to take blame for Sartre's crimes and work off his sentence rather than expose Sartre as the true culprit

Not in-game lore, but according to the concept art section he was nicknamed Chris (CRS) during development. Other people will be funnier about this than I am

Maria Torres

Has the shortest bio and the least amount of new information along with Tomoe, honestly

Born in the slums

Was already at the orphanage at age 10 when Rosalia (age 3) came there

Ended up in rehab of some kind after the orphanage fire

Hank Freebird

Also doesn't have much new compared to the game, sadly

Joined the military out of a sense of justice, left out of disillusionment following John's death and used the medical knowledge he gained in the military to become an orthopedic surgeon (not that this wasn't already implied in the game)

His bio specifically calls him out for being kinda clumsy/goofy. Poor guy

Tomoe Tachibana

Honestly the only thing that's new is a bunch of names, so this is the one time I break my rule and cite a translation directly. TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, IT'S STILL A MACHINE TRANSLATION

The only daughter of the Tachibana Zaibatsu, a global organization run by a family descended from the leader of the Koga Shinobi Army, Hisayori Tachibana.

Gabriel Cunningham

Nationality is listed as Great Britain. Surprise!

His wife Lisa left him with Joshua and went to her parents' six years before the game because she didn't like his lifestyle

Lisa was willing to get back together if Gabe was ever willing to talk to her properly, but as seen in the game he kept his distance. He and Lisa met occasionally over the next six years, but he never saw Joshua - which is of course why Joshua never recognized him in the game

His decision to go through with the divorce was about acceptance of his failings and a desire to do right by Joshua and Lisa

Naomi Kimishima

NOW WE'RE COOKING WITH BACKSTORY

All right, so that bit in Second Opinion where she took a Savato sample after cutting ties with Delphi and used it to bargain amnesty with Caduceus [Europe in the US version; US in the JP version]? Yeah, apparently she transported that sample by CARRYING IT IN HER OWN BODY for Caduceus to extract

Her fatal condition is a result of that, though it's already implied to be a result of GUILT in the game anyway. It was a sudden development a few years later, followed by Derek's six-month diagnosis

There's also details about her illness! Apparently her specific brand of PGS or whatever involves excess serotonin and dopamine production, which she needs meds to regulate.

It also means she's no longer able to operate on the living, which is why she transitions to forensic medicine as part of her plea deal

[Insert grimace here] I don't want to get too into this because this bit because 1) machine translation fears, 2) even perfectly translated it's not likely to be accurate to actual philosophy/terminology anyway, 3) I'm not a doctor I don't know what I'm talking about…

But the bio then starts talking about pranayama and prana, defining prana as life essence and...saying Naomi lacks it because of her condition and its effect on serotonin? I'm not entirely clear on this and I'm hesitant to say anything for sure; the main thing is that they take her illness and use the concept of prana to connect that to...

Her new ability to hear the dead! Apparently Naomi reads the prana left behind in a corpse and translates it into the person's final words via her phone; the worse the damage to the corpse (e.g., skeletonization), the less prana remains and the weaker the voice she hears is

Whether any of this relates to the Healing Touch is not mentioned. IDK man

Technically this was in S01's bio, but it relates more to Naomi: Jacob Tillman originally wanted Naomi to perform his surgery and keep it secret. Naomi was already unable to perform surgery on living people at that point, though, so S01 was Plan B

Rosalia Rossellini

Admired her big brother Erhard :(

Albert Sartre

Adopted Rosalia to study the virus in her blood (that is, he already knew about it by the time he adopted her in case that's ever a timeline question)

Additional Note

If someone with actual knowledge of Japanese corrects me and anything I've written in here, absolutely believe them over me. I'm not the translation hero anyone still in this fandom in the year 2k23 deserves, I'm just the stopgap until maybe one arrives someday.

Wish Lady Tomoe and wonderful day, everyone!

For she wishes you a wonderful day as well.

Group C Round 1

[image ID: the first image is of "good" Tom, a young man with short medium-colored hair, sideburns, and goatee. he's looking to the left of the comic panel, saying: "A puppy is in danger." someone from offscreen says: "Again?" the second image is of Tomoe Tachibana, a Japanese woman with purple eyes and long black hair. she's in a red kimono with flower patterns on the top, a black and white striped bow sits on top of the gold colored obi. a white doctor's coat is draped around her shoulders. end ID]

"good" Tom

Was created by the author because he felt bad about naming a one-off shitty character ("bad" Tom) Tom instead leaving him nameless. To quote the author commentary on "good" Tom's introduction page: "There is something in this comic I've been eager to include, however, and that's token 'good guy' Tom. His name is Tom, and he's a good guy, thus proving that not all Toms are like that one Tom. This Tom isn't the least bit manipulative, his extracurricular school activities all benefit society and raise awareness in some way, he's rescued at least three puppies from various situations, and he genuinely loves the first three live action Star Trek series." Note: it is later reveal that part of the reason that "he's rescued at least three puppies from various situations" is that without his knowledge he was given a magic mark that gives him the power to sense when puppies are in danger.

Tomoe Tachibana

Endoscopic Surgeon from Japan now living in Maine. One of the strongest characters in game. She has a custom built gold plated endoscope

HELLO TRAUMA CENTER COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!! keep slaying

[funny-friends]

hello again trauma team (2010) fans

[sa--ee]

this lady looks like Tomoe and I can't unsee it-

[flurr-fields]

I was sad so I drew tomor crying in the rain :((

[cringywhitedragon]

So somebody made a horror game that’s basically the endoscopy sections from Trauma Team called “Revenge of the Colon”

Tbh the cast of Resurgam, and poor Tamoe, would be confused af about some of this.

Though some would be kinda standard like the Pica and ring case since we did get that whole drug removal bit from TT. While crying fish, doors, parasitic clones, and colon clowns.

Tomoe and Torres just walk out of the room looking traumatized while the latter just swears about clowns and whatever

For @thedarknecrofear (Tomoe is awesome <3 )

Tomoe lounged peacefully beside the glittering pool, sheltered from the sun by a large umbrella. Oh, how the privileges of the modern day were different from her past life. Very different, she thought, a smile creeping across her face as she laid eyes upon Ryou. He was grinning widely, positively radiant in the sun as he came over with a couple of glasses filled with fresh lemonade. Only ever fresh, as both Ryou and Tomoe liked it. The packaged stuff was too sweet for her, and too…weird for Ryou. It messed with his stomach, apparently.

"Hello dear!" He called, setting the drinks on a side table. "Shaping up to be a glorious day!" He grinned even wider, and it was like the sun shone from his face. She felt so…blessed by the gods. For once in her life.

Tomoe nodded, snatching one of the lemonades and chugging half of it. There were wonders she wanted to experience slowly, but then there were wonders like this, which she just wanted to have in a single go.

"Though the weather report says it's supposed to rain tomorrow." Ryou frowned, brow creased as he looked at the clear blue sky. "It doesn't seem like rainy season, but I suppose the weather changes whenever it so desires." He continued his thoughtful stare for a few seconds before whipping his head around. "Well! Cold weather means warm cuddles!" She couldn't help the quiet snort at his sudden change in energy. He could be so silly in the most exciting ways.

…

Cold weather did mean warm cuddles. Always. Ryou lay on one side of the couch, blanket lifted as she approached in her cat form, shaking as thunder boomed and lightning flashed. She wouldn't hate storms so much if they were just quiet. That's all she wished for, was some peace and quiet in the cold weather. Maybe some snow, but it wasn't snow season.

"Mewwww," she whined, leaping up and transforming back into her human body next to Ryou. Her ears and tail remained, her mind too anxious to leave her completely vulnerable in her human form.

"Come 'ere." He covered them both with the blanket, which was soft to the touch and comforted Tomoe ever so slightly, then pulled her toward him, nuzzling into her chest and laying soft kisses on her fluffy pajamas. "You'll be ok. It'll be alright. I promise." And with that, she relaxed, tail still flicking but ears drooping instead of being ramrod straight. Her entire body curved toward Ryou, calmed by his presence and gentle temperature. He truly was a modern marvel.

"I love you. So much," she whispered, allowing a small smile before kissing his poof of unruly, soft-to-the-touch hair.

"And I love you too, darling. I'll keep you safe until the day comes I cannot. Promise." Without thinking, tomoe lifted her pinky to nudge at Ryou's. "Pinky promise then," he chuckled. Their pinkies curled around each other, and a rush of loving energy passed between them. There was magic to Ryou's promises, Tomoe knew. There was magic to Ryou himself. And it was all love.
