Appearance:
Cam stands at roughly 5'11, being rather skinny with minimal wiry muscle. He exercises when he has free time, but other than that he generally sticks to letting his job do the work. He has black hair, although buzzed short it only occupies the back of his skull, much to his disdain. At every possible chance, he's wearing a ski cap or any sort of hat to keep the shine from blinding everyone around - it goes without saying that he's rather self conscious of this, but manages to play it off as nothing. Go ahead, poke fun, my shiny skull repels all negative comments. Heh, sure... Tanned skin, naturally, with dark brown eyes, there isn't anything special about Cam's facial features and skin tone, except for the fact that it often gets him stopped in the airports. Oh well.

Personality:
Cam's a very mild-mannered man by nature, soft-spoken without any real opinions that he would speak. By upbringing he's learned to keep under the radar with any of his beliefs, either not believing it socially appropriate or just something that doesn't need to be mentioned. He's very cautious, always thinking through his plans and keeping things orderly, part of a slightly obsessive-compulsive behavioral pattern. Everything that he does is calculated and gone over obsessively to make sure that there are no faults. He has a need for perfection, despite knowing very well that it can't be accomplished, he wants to be the guy that will make sure that things come as close as possible to perfect.

Cam's surprisingly open minded for his generation, always looking over the possible reasons for behavior or believes, finding himself oddly comfortable with the social taboos of today. He's the sort of man that you could come to in time of need, a great listener and advice giver, plus the fact that it's extremely hard to upset or anger him. He's a calm, sure-footed person, never letting things get the better of him - preferable traits for someone of his profession. Although, there are a few things that can make his blood boil - ignorance for one, it may be bliss, but to anyone with brains it's horrible and a disgusting trait. He has an extreme disdain for psychics and other people that claim to have insight into spiritual things, he'll be the first one to break habit and call out a psychic.

In contrast, he has a love for the cello, taking lessons as a teen and continuing with the hobby. He sees himself as a skilled cello player, playing as long as he has, but he isn't much of a bragger, doesn't bring it up, doesn't really talk about himself at all. Cam has a few other skills - guitar being a favorite, although he's only recently began studying the art of any other instrument. He's grown fond of Italian and French food, not one for spices or other strong tastes. He likes subtlety, finding that the simplest things are always the best.

Background Information:
Cam was born in the capital of Iran, only living there for a few times with his family before they immigrated to Chicago. He retains somewhat of an accent from his parents and family, although it's very mild and hardly effects his speech. He had a nice home life, disciplined like any child, with perhaps stricter rules than other families. His parents were both Muslim, very devout to their religion, hardly giving their children - Cam and his younger sister - any room to breathe when it came to this area. He grew up with a sister, which meant he had the protective gene engraved into him, doing his best to shelter and protect his sister. Although, when it came to boys later on, he was just the nerdy older brother with a thing for biology.

Upon graduating high school, Cam had been dual-enrolling for two years already, dead set on becoming a doctor of any kind - just being in hospitals was enough libation for him, although he would rather spend it on the other side of the scalpel. Studying medicine was a complete new ballgame for him, anatomy and organic chem eating at his GPA. Nevertheless, he graduated top of his class, moving to New York to complete his residency and specialization - internal medicine, more specifically pneumology. He had always been fascinated by the lungs, so why not continue this fascination and turn it into somewhat of an obsession? After all, that is what he's best at.

Now he occupies a loft in the upside of New York, living alone without any girlfriend or anything of the sort. He had a few companions earlier on in college, but now he's content sharing his space with a German Shepard, Izzy.
