Current Characters: None.
Character: Doctor Leonard McCoy
Fandom: Star Trek 2009 movie
Character Notes:
History: (please note: canon pre-movie is reasonably sparse; the accepted theory is that the Original Series canon applies up to the point of divergence where the movie becomes an AU of the Original series. So some elements from the below are from TOS canon, some from the movie.)
McCoy wanted to be a doctor ever since he was a kid. He worked hard at school, fell in love with Jocelyn, a smart, beautiful girl, got through med school, became a doctor. . . then it all fell to pieces. He and his wife grew apart. They had a horrible divorce, and right in the middle of this, his father’s terminal illness grew so bad that McCoy unwillingly allowed him his wish to die.
Only a couple weeks later, a cure was found.
The divorce was finalised. He let Jocelyn have everything she wanted, partly out of self-hatred, partly to just get it OVER with. He needed a new life.
He found Starfleet. He signed up for the Academy as a doctor, and landed on the shuttle to the Academy with one James T Kirk, who supported him through his space sickness and became his best friend.
When disaster threatened, he went into space on the Enterprise, and ended up Chief Medical Officer (CMO) when the existing CMO was killed.
Personality: He’s grumpy, moody, and doesn’t easily let people in. He’s best friends with Jim, which is partly due to persistence on Jim’s part, and partly due to McCoy seeing just how goddamn caring Jim is under the devil may care attitude. McCoy respects Jim’s blinding desire to look after people, because he’s the same, just in a different way. He respects Jim’s assholeishness and the way he pushes for what he wants no matter what people think of him. This does cause grief between them at times, because Jim doesn’t always agree with McCoy, either, but he still respects Jim for it.
He is a healer; but he’s not a ‘never tell you anything bad’ kind of healer. If you need a kick in the pants, he’ll provide it. He wants people to be safe and well, and objects most strenuously to actions taken by his superior officers which threaten those things. However, he does understand that he’s not in command and once he’s had his say, it’s up to them what they do.
Having said that, though, if he needs to remove people from command when they’re unfit, he’ll damn well do it. He is CMO, and doesn’t take either the rights or responsibilities of that position lightly.
He’s scared of space, not fond of computers, and hates transporters. Starfleet was an interesting choice for him.
He’s a good listener, and essentially wants to support people. He will tell them if they’re being stupid, but he wants people to talk to him, wants them to lean on him, wants to give advice and sympathy and support. This is partly due to his profession -- he‘s the closest thing the Enterprise has to a formal counsellor -- and partly because he genuinely wants to help.

Re: Leonard McCoy 2/2
Hell, what a day. First off Jim decides to set me up with a cute little ensign -- without telling me. And yeah, she’s cute, but most of all she’s snarky, so he’s not just throwing me at anyone with boobs, which I appreciate. But I’m not exactly looking for a partner right now. I’ve got too much to do with sorting out this sickbay. I haven’t been CMO for long, and I need to put my stamp on things. No matter what Chris Chapel says, that doesn’t mean reverting back to doing surgery with rotgut and fishing twine. Just because I’m not that fond of computers doesn’t mean I think every advance of the last five hundred years is bad.
So, having the aforementioned cute little ensign show up on one of my biobeds with a love letter to me temporarily tattooed on her stomach was not the best way to start the day.
Remind me to move Jim’s physical forward. I think he needs the full range of tests this time. Say, didn’t he have a case of Tyrellian two-step not that long ago? That gives me a few ideas.
Third Person:
McCoy tossed the folder onto the desk and sank down into his chair. He swore under his breath, leaning back to put first one foot, then the other, up onto the desk. He folded his arms, and stared at the door.
And soon enough, Jim arrived. What the hell was it with him? McCoy knew damn well the kid wasn’t psychic. He’d seen the test results.
“Spill,” Jim said, plopping himself down in the other chair.
McCoy glared at him.
Jim raised his eyebrows.
McCoy sighed, abruptly taking his feet off the corner of the desk to let them thump onto the floor. “I lost Resset.”
Jim’s face creased in sympathy. McCoy looked away. He knew the kid was just trying to be nice, but right now he didn’t want sympathy .Couldn’t deal with sympathy. He needed to be yelled at. “Happens, Bones.”
“Not to me. Not when it was just an infected goddamn spider bite.”
Jim paused. McCoy tensed, waiting for it. “What do you want me to say? That you failed? That the kid deserved better? Yeah, I know you failed, Bones. But I also know that you were up till all hours the last three days researching every possible antitoxin and synthesizing your own, and I know that Resset went into Security well aware of the risks. I wish he hadn’t died. He was a good guy. But you didn’t fail because of lack of effort or lack of care, and I’m not about to blame you for it.”
McCoy thought about that for a while, then he finally exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. “. . .yeah, I guess.”
“You know I’m right. I’m awesome.”
McCoy didn’t even have to look up to know exactly what expression Jim would be wearing. The smirk to end all smirks.
