I am working on a list of things, and I got to about thirty before realizing that the approximately three people who care might not just want to read stuff they've already heard. So a full list of facts will be later. This time I made myself write down 100 new things. If you don't know Robert at all and want to you should probably wait for that list!
These are really in no certain or special or logical order at all. I also stole Scout's pretty font formatting because if you steal it with credit and love, it's affectionate emulation! ¬_¬
100 New Things About Robert
1. The founding of the Capio Medical Group was an accident. A tiny practice in 1816 grew to being a large group of doctors, and then he had enough saved to build a hospital, and it just kept growing and growing.
2. I don't know what his lordly title was. I thought they were Northumbrian lords but the peerage is still alive and kicking and that is going a little far away from the realism the universe has. But if I knew it this would be where it goes.
3. When Robert met Alice he was halfway through a transfer to London, and spent weekends in Alnwick.
4. He then took time off for research and brought Alice back to Alnwick with him, not knowing she was going to hate it there. It never seemed boring to him. They had a theatre district, after all!
5. Robert has been involved in lots of medical advances. Lots. Here are some of the more notable ones.
6. 1819: Helps examine why Blundell's blood transfusion efforts failed. Comes to no actual conclusion.
7. Entire decade of 1870: Works with scientists such as Koch and Pasteur to aid in disproving spontaneous generation and therefore proving communicability. Robert did something really specific and really amazing with communicability. If only I knew exactly what it was. More time to research. (I really want to say he was the one who had the OMG DUH realization after an autopsy but that might be overdoing his awesome.)
8. 1897: Developed typhoid vaccine.
9. 1900: Experiments with use of Hoffman's acetylsalicylic acid, later known as 'aspirin.'
10. 1904: Has giant 'duh' moment in relation to #6. The first successful transfusion is peformed in 1907 thanks to Landsteiner's ABO typing system. Robert helped make the suggestion, but he had nothing to do with the actual transfusion.
11. 1922-1930: Worked on vaccines of diptheria, pertussis and tetanus. Also aided in distance research for the use of insulin treatment in diabetics.
12. 1962: Developed oral polio vaccine. Tested it on children everywhere, not knowing better at the time.
13. 1967: While visiting Cape Town to see tiny Claire, who was about eight months old (I think! math!), ended up getting called to the university hospital to help with the first human-to-human heart transplant.
14. Robert was both thrilled about the heart and the baby. The patient died of unrelated complications (pneumonia, 18 days after the surgery). Claire didn't. Holding her was about half his comfort.
15. Oddly enough he still didn't realize how much he wanted a child of his own.
16. That didn't happen until he actually had Fabian. No, that's not true – it happened when Alice finally told him she was pregnant.
17. While Alice was hiding it, despite probably knowing he could tell, Robert felt terrible, thinking maybe she didn't want to go through with it after all.
18. But Randolf and Isabella's deaths were hard on him too, though nowhere near as, and having the child made the world a little bit brighter. Once Alice became comfortable with her pregnancy Robert was all over it.
19. None of that prepared him for just how overwhelming seeing Alice and Fabian together was, though. He still wishes he'd had a portrait painted of them when Fabian was just a few hours old.
20. Photographs mean less to him than paintings, even if they are more realistic.
21. He was an obsessive father-to-be, anyway. Always making sure she was comfortable. Always asking what she was feeling. And yet he wasn't obnoxiously involved to the point where he said things like ""we're pregnant" and insisted on trying to share her discomfort (which he could've done literally, but didn't unless she made him). There was lots of being handsy to feel kicks, though. And heartbeats.
22. Robert loves to fly. On his own wings, yeah, but also in planes.
23. He has four pilot's licenses under three different names.
24. It's been a while since he's flown, though. The last time he took to the skies was sometime in the 1950s. He wants to do it again, and intends on getting a license for either current alias Bertram Capio or other current alias Robert Capio XIV.
25. He's not the family forger and never was, but is glad they've still got one.
26. Robert's been in four wars. The Nine Years War, the Crimean War, and both World Wars.
27. He was a different person in each one.
28. I'm pretty sure he had the same name for every war, though.
29. As far as he's concerned, his military days are over. This is due to DNA exemplars; he could never explain his own existence now that the military takes samples.
30. When Valerie first fell head over heels for Larus Nyström, Robert had some bad feelings about it.
31. He was right to, because the matter of them not being human somewhat bothered Larus and he freaked, after the pair had married.
32. Robert challenged him to a duel just to calm him down, and instead of killing the man, talked it out and let him remember how much he really did love Valerie.
33. After that conversation, Robert and Larus got along fine.
34. If he ever has a daughter (and I hope he does! SCOUT HE NEEDS A DAUGHTER), he wants to name her Eliza, after his childhood best friend.
35. He doesn't think Alice will want to, though, and may or may not ever say anything about it. (It might take some kicking.)
36. He really does want more children, though, and was always afraid to say so after Fabian. He wanted to stay and still felt as if he needed his break from life.
37. Nothing has ever made him feel more guilty than that. Ever. He might not get over it for fifty years. It will take some work and persuasion.
38. Of course, Alice can persuade him to basically do anything. Unfortunately for a long time marriage wasn't one of those things.
39. From when he met her in mid-December (I think in my head it was the fifteenth and I don't know why) to seeing her again in whenever that was, I think it was probably beginning of January? When is this scene taking place? WHO KNOWS we'll figure it out – Alice was on his mind a lot more than he wanted to admit. He didn't even write about her in his journals much because he was hiding how taken he'd been by her from himself.
40. It was really obvious to Dawn, though.
41. Throughout her pharmaceutical training, Dawn and Robert lived together in London. They were, after all, pretending to be twins. So that was up until 1963 at least. It was until he moved back to Alnwick with Alice.
42. And when he did do that, I'm pretty sure they went to London for visits all the time anyway.
43. January to April of 1962 were maddening because of Alice, but not at all because she annoyed him. He actually thought about sex once or twice with no prompting!
44. Robert speaks five languages, plus the form of English that was spoken/written when he was young.
45. They're English (and Middle English), Mandarin Chinese, Tamil, French and Russian.
46. This is because he had way, way way too much time on his hands. Despite always doing something. He always had to be learning. When there was nothing else around, languages it was.
47. It made him a bit sad that his son wasn't okay talking about sexuality with him for ages.
48. Because Robert was exposed more to homosexuality than loads of people were. He was around for the Renaissance era, after all.
49. Then again, it made him flustered then and still does now.
50. This is the part where I would write about kinks but I can't because he doesn't have any, and I can't really write about not-kinky things he likes either because he's very vanilla.
51. On the other hand, I can say he likes it when Alice jumps on him. Or corners him and kisses him. It may not be an instant turn-on (Robert really isn't very sexual, uh, can you tell) but it's somehow thrilling.
52. He named his son after the Society.
53. Robert wasn't a member anymore by the time the boy was born, though.
54. He really, really, really supported the Fabian Society's call for socialized healthcare in 1911.
55. I don't know how much he agrees with them now, though. I don't know how much he cares about politics now!
56. I should probably point out also that he didn't agree with the Society's eugenics at all either, though he was largely in the dark about what they were doing there. The idea of eugenics scares him. The idea of lots of political things scare him.
57. That's why he never told anyone why he picked the name Fabian.
58. Ferris, on the other hand, was the surname of Dawn's mother. Since Dawn had given neither of her children the name Ferris, Robert did it for her.
59. His favorite song made in the last twenty years is Maxïmo Park's "Trial and Error."
60. He really really likes music, but really doesn't like a lot of kinds of it.
61. Just classical (which he would say is too broad a definition) and soft rock and the alternative sound one might associate with the Decemberists or Destroyer or the New Pornographers. Oh, and blues.
62. He followed the story of the Irish Angel Isabel with great intrigue, and asked to see a lot of the information compiled about her, but was neither the doctor who examined her (... omg AU ...) nor did he ever actually approach her. He probably should have, and yet doesn't think she minds he didn't.
63. Robert could be completely immune to pot if he wanted to be. But he doesn't.
64. He could be completely immune to a lot of things and do a lot of things, really. Because when he grew up it was okay to use magic around the family land, okay not to hide it (a lot of people in the town knew about them) and he learned to do lots of things. He learned he could do anything, in theory, that he put his mind to, and has been stretching that ability for most of his life.
65. He doesn't usually have a wide array of facial expressions, but can. (And has a lot more than I do.)
66. His lucky number is eighteen. Someday I will be able to tell you why. For now, the truth of it is that it came to me in a dream.
67. He cares so much about the town of Alnwick it's rather pathetic. Dirty Life's version of Alnwick is different from the real one in the way where it's filled with magic and also that it's just Robert's town. He loves it to pieces.
68. Robert is also ridiculously fond of Bess Driscoll. She's rather his favorite of the youngest generation of the family outside his own son, though he hasn't gotten to know the twins yet.
69. This means he might really get Bess a present from every city "Bertram and Josephine" go to in 2008. Maybe also 2009.
70. Once upon a time, he really liked Iri Burton. Thought she was a good student and a good kid.
71. Until she wasn't a good kid anymore, and then he regarded her with some great trepidation.
72. While he was never afraid of Andy or Iz, when he thought of them as Alice's Parents Randolf and Isabella, he started acting as if he were many years their junior. Occasionally he even realized he was doing it. Which didn't stop it any.
73. He regards Alice's loving that ring in Tiffany's as one of the best strokes of luck his life has ever taken.
74. And he's really grateful to Iz for all the help.
75. His own wedding band is sterling silver and might be engraved.
76. This is partially because he won't wear gold.
77. Which is because gold isn't technically surgically sterile and he doesn't want to have to take his wedding band off ever.
78. Sometimes, he wishes he could really be sick, just to know what his patients have gone through.
79. Not enough to actually inoculate himself with something.
80. He has, in fact, only ever had headcolds, and those very rarely. His immune system is made of – well, something strong for an immune system. Not really iron.
81. His favorite microörganism is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Yes, you needed to know that.
82. If you ask him why he likes S. pneumoniae so much, he may talk for an hour about it. (Also a fan of the bacterium, I could probably even write it out.)
83. For about two hundred years in the middle of his life, Robert didn't play pranks at all.
84. Medical school with Sully made him one of the biggest pranksters in their block, though.
85. The addition of Alice to the group of friends didn't help with that.
86. But really since Eliza he didn't have such good close friends (that I know of) until the sixties. This might not stay true because there are lots of empty years there, but if someone else comes along it'll be a surprise to me, too. Of course if I were writing about me in relation to him there'd be a lot more stuff here, because the amount of Robert-meta I've got is kind of special and for another time, too.
87. He's crossed over before 2002, but it was only to visit his siblings, and he counted it as more of a trip than a rest.
88. Which is why it didn't really have much of any effect on his personality or state of being.
89. Robert was living in New York in 1929 and experienced the stock market crash.
90. Instead of remaining with the Brandts, he abandoned them in person – but sent them money to help them get through the Depression.
91. He doesn't like the National Health Service much, but would deal with the NHS Trust over any non-UK health insurance system in a heartbeat.
92. Especially since he helped with some of the NHS reforms under Blair and is still working to make healthcare a better place.
93. The White Papers produced by Thatcher angered him enough he even wrote letters to various newspapers and was tempted to shut down his own hospitals or temporarily cease practice, but he never would.
94. Currently he's planning another Manchester hospital, which he wants to be a respiratory center. While he's already named a hospital after Alice, he plans on naming it for some of the TB victims he introduced her to back in the sixties.
95. His favourite place in the entire world besides Northumberland is the Chinese rice village of Suzhou.
96. He likes to teach more than he lets on, as when he is stuck teaching he is often griping about it. Secretly he finds it fun to share what he knows.
97. Partially because he also believes one can learn from teaching.
98. He's fond of about a thousand kinds of tea, but always did like orange peel best, which is why he's so glad Alice and Dawn both embraced it so.
99. Robert is a tiny bit afraid of Vi and Mallory and always has been. Nurses intimidated him. Especially trauma nurses, in part because of how capable they were, and charge nurses because - well, they're charge nurses.
100. Despite all the wars he's been in, he is a complete pacifist and tries not to even argue with people.
I am working on a list of things, and I got to about thirty before realizing that the approximately three people who care might not just want to read stuff they've already heard. So a full list of facts will be later. This time I made myself write down 100 new things. If you don't know Robert at all and want to you should probably wait for that list!

And they didn't honeymoon in 2008 :(

He and I also had no delusions he'd be naming the second child; he never did say anything about it and also won't suggest it as a middle name.
THEY WOULD HAVE, IF TOBY DIXON HADN'T HAPPENED. I also need to fix the bits about 1929 to include Ronan and Amy. Elijah was in Chicago so they missed each other. But probably I won't, and will eventually end up doing tiny minor edits and adding 100 more things ... though some of those likely won't be new.

Date: 2009-07-13 09:33 am (UTC)I always have to remind myself that they probably know each other backwards, being together for so long. IT'S KIND OF LIKE DUH. I mean, Robert has more history, but he should know 99% of Alice.
AS FOR #41 lolo Dawn and Robert living together during the early stages of Robert/Alice is really hilarious because I have just realized that after they started having sex (they obviously not being Dawn and Robert unless Dawn was breaking him in), Alice wanted it to be very clear to people that THEY WERE REALLY DOING IT. So, I'm sorry Dawn. But you did indulge in PDA with Mikey, okay. It's reasonable. Actually, what am I saying. It's Robert I should be apologizing to. Because Alice probably also visited Dawn BEFORE the sexing and had girly underwear times with her. Or, you know, hung around naked in his bathroom and left the door wide open while she showered. Or didn't say the room was occupied while she was changing in it. Or left her underwear on the floor.
There's also that really cold winter of '62. Not that this has anything to do with the 100 things, but IT'S THERE.
