M'aiq's skills as a medic are not just limited to holo-books and lectures. He has read up and practiced a handful of experimental treatments while inventing a few home remedies of his own. This allows M'aiq to work outside the box in less than ideal situations, and can lead to him solving mysteries other trained medics might struggle with. This, of course, comes with its own string of failures, as nothing is ever perfect. That, and some of the more established professionals in the field often doubt or question M'aiq's alternative practices. He typically brushes them off in favor of doing everything he can to help a patient, but does quietly seek recognition for accomplishments as a healer.

M'aiq's life is filled with training and learning for all sorts of situations, from the mind-numbingly normal to the utterly bizarre. As such, M'aiq has developed into a rather resourceful individual. This has made M'aiq a mix of academic and scholar, always with something to offer to any discussion. However, knowledge and training does not always translate well to the tense environment of the battlefield, and no amount of textbooks can prepare one for reality...

M'aiq has been patching up the wounded for years as a Medic and has come to the conclusion that more often than not, the injuries are either self inflicted or deserved. While he will always work tirelessly on behalf of his patient in an ongoing quest to preserve all life, that doesn’t stop him from scolding or belittling patients that he feels should know better than to walk into a rancor pit with a bucket of raw meat. M'aiq teeters on the line between compassion and supporting selective evolution, which can make him come off as less friendly or inviting than other medics.

M'aiq is a lateral thinker, and when he encounters problems or dilemmas, he is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows M'aiq to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, M'aiq can typically explain and lead others through his plan...as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust him outside thinking.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. M'aiq? M'aiq doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. M'aiq, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, M'aiq isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, M'aiq won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but M'aiq will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.

Sometimes the only way to prepare for the worst is to always expect it. M'aiq takes this philosophy one step further by never leaving home without accounting for every possible scenario he might expect to encounter. M'aiq tends to always have the right tool or item for a situation and has a habit of quietly and almost smugly presenting solutions before anyone even recognizes there is a problem. This foresight is far from infallible, however, and he often finds himself at a loss in situations that go beyond what he could have imagined. While incredibly practical and often a life-saver in a pinch, his perpetually pessimistic outlook on daily life can be a bit draining on more optimistic-inclined companions.
