Doctor Gabriel Edega is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. He is the head doctor at Middlesea Hospital, and tends to have a cold demeanor when it comes to patient care.

Appearance

Doctor Edega has auburn hair and light skin. He carries around a dark blue clipboard that is obscuring his face at all times. He wears a set of hospital scrubs that are a greenish hue along with a pair of black shoes.

Personality

Relationships

  • Edega is Paige's boss, and treats her with a rather cold nature. He regularly makes comments on how she is performing, and expresses that she isn't doing enough. He has taken special note of how Paige is still struggling with swing-beats in Dreams Don't Stop, and that she constantly is distracted by other patients.
  • Edega is Ian's boss, and so has a tendency to push responsibilities on him regularly. He has tasked Ian with managing the Rhythm Doctor program, often pushing for him to take on even more for his workload as seen in Act 5.
  • Edega is The Intern's boss, and treats them with an air of indifference with the occasional note on their competency. He comments that the Intern is rather nosy for eavesdropping on Unsustainable Inconsolable's pre-tutorial conversation. If the Intern completes 5-X's tutorial with little to no mistakes, Edega praises them for their accuracy and tells them that he'll be watching their performance.
  • Edega does not appear to be thought of fondly by Middlesea Hospital's patients, as Nicole comments that he "just scares me". Lucky initially went along with Edega's proposed plans, but had a turnaround at the end of Act 5 that appeared to have disappointed Edega. Ian even notes that Lucky was the most Edega has ever spoken to a patient, reinforcing that he does not directly deal with the patients himself.

History

  • Edega used to make an appearance after completing the Preorder demo version of Rhythm Doctor. His dialogue (which is now considered non-canon) went as follows:
EdegaSpriteS.png Ah, so the program worked then.
EdegaSpriteS.png Who would have thought?
EdegaSpriteS.png This preposterous program to recruit rhythmically talented volunteers remotely to defibrillate our patients. Hah!
EdegaSpriteS.png My name is Dr Edega. I've been watching you.
EdegaSpriteS.png You defeated the connectifia abortus infections, saved our own Dr Paige from a breakdown..
EdegaSpriteS.png .. and administered perfect defibrillations to a troupe of classical music loving samurai.
EdegaSpriteS.png They were quite pleased with how you could keep up.
EdegaSpriteS.png At this rate, ohohoho... you might even put our own doctors out of their jobs.
EdegaSpriteS.png We wouldn't want that, would we.
EdegaSpriteS.png .. (author.name)?
EdegaSpriteS.png Well, we're starting the full Rhythm Doctor program later this year.
EdegaSpriteS.png We shall be expecting you again. Goodbye, (author.name).
