"Doc", or common alias "2BDamned", is the tetartagonist of the Madness Combat series. He helps Deimos escape from Purgatory in the events of DedmosRebuilt.fla and he helped Hank escape in Madness combat 9.5. "2BDamned" is derived from his username on the instant message console he uses to communicate with FellowD9 in this episode.
Appearance[]
He wears sensor goggles with an "off-center detector" resembling a doctor's headlamp that provides a wealth of information on the internally viewable HUD, an armored air filter and bandages around his jaw, a collared black vest, and a dark gray shirt.
Personality[]
Because of 2BDamned's recent introduction to the series, little is currently known about him.
He is shown to be affiliated with Hank, Sanford and Deimos against the A.A.H.W.
Doc appears to be the most strategic of the protagonists. Most of his actions seem to reflect that he knows what he's doing more than some of the other characters. This manifests itself as a disgruntled and cynical attitude, where he tends to complain about situations he finds himself in, or chide others when things don't go according to plan.
He also seems to be more tactical and cautious than the other characters, as reflected in his fighting style, which has shown to place emphasis on defense, deception, and subversion. In this way he has been able to avoid direct confrontation by misdirecting and ambushing his attackers.
Despite his seriousness, he has a playful side to his work. From DISSENTER, after tricking a Soldat into firing on his own teammates he sends a taunting message to the Soldat's laptop.
Abilities[]
Docโs skills are almost inverted of Deimos's; Deimos is mainly invested in combat while also capable of technical ability, whereas Doc appears to prefer using technical ability over combat wherever he can.
He demonstrates significant technical prowess, similar to Deimos. Along with Fellow09, he managed to coordinate a rescue effort to get Deimos out of Purgatory. When faced with a raid, Doc preferred to take advantage of the A.A.H.W.'s communications, hacking into a soldat's laptop and tricking him into wiping out most of his own team, before going out and finishing off what was left himself.
Doc is also implied to have knowledge regarding how the Madness universe works, given that he knew how to preform the operation to save Deimos from the afterlife in the first place, or was given instructions by some higher authority to do this. He also restores Hank's memory from an improbability drive backup using a network share in the opening sequence of Madness Combat 9.5, which would require intimate knowledge of Hank being in The Other Place at the time, pinpointing his location, and starting an upload. Doc may even have done this for Hank every time he has died.
In combat, Doc appears to be skilled with his VSS Vintorez rifle. He is shown to be capable of shooting a soldat in the eye through a pair of binoculars at long range, suggesting excellent marksmanship. In addition to this he is also competent in using grenades, throwing one around a corner to kill an engineer.
Appearances[]
DedmosRebuilt.fla[]
Despite his screen-time itself being short, Doc plays the role of the deuteragonist in the final short of Deimos' Adventure. He, along with another individual known as "FellowD9", are part of an extraction team that is attempting to rescue Deimos from Purgatory.
He first appears in Nevada near a tent with a console and rifle inside, staring off into the distance. Suddenly, Docโs console lights up, and he approaches it to see the notification. Fellow09 informs him that he has found Deimos, and requests for him to be anchored. Doc heads away from the tent to activate the anchor, but by the time he does, Deimos had already beaten Fellow09 to death and dodged the anchor.
Throughout the next segment, Doc attempts to anchor Deimos a few more times, none of which succeed. Due to this, Doc attempts to communicate to Deimos through posters on the walls, telling him cooperate and chastising him for being cocky, as well as warning him "try not to drag Hell back in with you".
Eventually, Doc manages to bring Deimos back after hitting him with a button. Back in Nevada, he taps some things into his tablet next to Deimos's embedded corpse, and then pulls a lever, which brings the stone-ridden Deimos into Nevada. Doc approaches Deimos with a syringe and sticks it into the back of his neck off-screen, as four giant Agents and a giant Soldat appear, with bony protrusions in their faces. As Doc and Deimos face the four large agents, Doc dryly complains "God damn it Deimos" as the animation ends.
DISSENTER[]
Doc receives his first main role in DISSENTER. Roughly around the time of Madness Antipathy, an Agency assault team shows up at the door of his apartment and prepares to raid, believing that Hank is there as it was his old home. Doc manages to hack a Soldat's terminal and gives him "new orders" to fire a HE โspicyโ rocket at the door instead of a stun rocket at the window. He then blocks the door, preventing the team from entering, before running downstairs and outside with a VSS Vintorez and a frag grenade. While the "new orders" results in three of the four squad members being wiped out, 2BDamned throws the grenade at the surviving engineer, eliminating him. As the soldat looks through the binoculars to check on the raid, he spots Doc aiming directly at him with the Vintorez, before being shot through the binoculars. As Doc returns to his damaged home, he grumbles, "Damn Agency breaking my stuff, Hank doesn't even live here anymore" as the video ends.
Madness Combat 9.5[]
9.5 Part 1[]
Doc makes a reappearance in Madness Combat 9.5 as a side protagonist. He is seen in the opening sequence restoring Hankโs memory from an Improbability Drive backup. His hacking is interrupted by a message which reads:
โLISTEN HERE HACKERโ
โYOUR INTEREST WILL BE TERMINATEDโ
โHANK WILL BE RETAINEDโ
The animation then cuts to three grunts in Purgatory.
9.5 Part 2[]
Doc is seen at his computer after the tracking for Hank was lost. He proceeds by inserting a small device into the head cavity of a dead Soldat. He returns to the computer and activates a file called "Coin Flip.exe" which finds a suitable Hank.
Doc's next appearance is at the end of the episode, where he says "I'll keep taking them back."
Madness Combat 12: Contravention[]
Doc is seen standing next to a crater on the ground which most likely leads to the other place. Here, he drops a small device and starts furiously tapping on his table, presumably texting Deimos.
On another scene, Doc is seen talking to Deimos while Deimos is driving towards Sanford.
On the last sequence of the episode, Deimos arrives and Doc tells him to hurry up and bring Sanford back.
MADNESS: Project Nexus[]
"A dissenter, former AAHW. Freed from the otherworldly bonds of his masters, he's aligned what skill and talent he has to aid Sanford and Deimos. He's not a doctor." - M:PN Character Description
2BDamned, or Doc, is a character that appears in MADNESS: Project Nexus' Arena Mode as the Player Character's supervisor. He gives you objectives and Contract Missions. He also appears in Story Mode as a Co-op character (he doesn't have any dialogue, and will always occupy the last player slot whenever needed) and in a flashback cutscene. He can also be spawned in the Playground Mode. He is voiced by Gianni Matragrano. 2BDamned prefers to fight tactically; he uses his environment and wits to achieve his goals rather than Hank's method of going in guns-blazing.
After dissenting from the A.A.H.W. 2BDamned formed his own organization; the Status Quo. He went on to recruit Hank, Deimos, and Sanford as his comrades, as they accomplish various missions for him around Nevada. He seems to be the one that gave out the instructions to destroy Project Nexus. He also has contact with Jebus, as shown in a flashback.
Appearance[]
2BDamned wears what appears to be an armored surgical mask with red-tinted lenses. A small headlamp is attached above his right eye; similar in appearance to a doctor's. He also has a black jacket worn over with a dull gray vest. Both jacket and vest appear dirty.
Personality[]
Very little is known about 2BDamned, as he has not that many appearances in the game or Madness Combat.
2BDamned is a very calculating and tactical person. He prefers covert action as opposed to direct confrontation and uses his surroundings to accomplish those means. As shown in the Madness Combat short, DISSENTER, he hacks his way through AAHW communications to trick the AAHW into killing each other; only actually engaging in combat to pick off the last survivor. He is also a person with great knowledge. He knows more about the universe heโs in more than anyone, aside from the Employers. He is aware how death works, what the Other Place is, and who the Employers are. He has the ability to revive people from the Other Place, as shown in DedmosRebuilt.FLA.
2BDamnedโs technological skills are arguably superior to Deimos'. In addition, he has the skills and the knowledge to create incredibly complex machines (such as the machine he uses to retrieve Deimos from The Other Place).
Story Mode[]
Doc appears in a Flashback Cutscene between the Mining Sector and the Science Tower, taking place "Somewhere in Nevada", in the house from DISSENTER, where it's revealed that he was the one who contracted Hank to destroy Project Nexus. Doc discusses the details of the mission with Hank before Dr. Christoff arrives.
Doc tells Christoff that Project Nexus is somehow still operating, but Jeb finds it hard to believe, as he killed Phobos and took the Keystone Fragment. 2BDamned assures Christoff that his intel is solid, but Christoff gets angry and tells Doc to stay out of the Nexus City. They get into an argument and Jeb storms off.
Doc goes back to discussing the mission details with Hank.
Arena Mode[]
2BDamned is a character in M:PN's Arena Mode and functions as the player character's supervisor. He gives you tasks and objectives to complete in order to progress. At the beginning being there when your character wakes up on a bus, explaining your character underwent a procedure that, according to Doc, you will soon remember. The S.Q. organization both you and Doc belong to has spent every last cent it has on obtaining a specific building in Nevada Central, and tasking the player with turning it into a Lucrative Enterprise, for when they find the Mandatus, which will allow their organization to run the Enmeshment Program, and decipher this Mandatus.
In Arena Mode, 2BDamned provides advice for the player to make progress, and shows up after the player turns the building into a profitable enterprise, telling the player that their plan is moving onto phase two. Doc tasks the Player to gather parts to build the Enmeshment Machine, so they can begin deciphering the Mandatus as soon as Doc finds out it's location. Through various Contract Missions, you collect parts and info to help with the Enmeshment Program needed for the Mandatus, culminating in Contract 4. After finishing the Contract, Doc further explains what the Enmeshment Program is, which is to use the player as a sort of lure for the Machine to find.
Intro[]
He first appears in the intro. Player Character wakes up in a bus and is greeted by 2BDamned. The player character says that he doesn't remember much and he doesn't know why he's in the bus talking to Doc, 2BDamned replies that you'll remember everything eventually. He then gives you a briefing on your mission and drops you off at the [[Headquarters|H.Q.]
Contract 2[]
After completing contract 1 and it's associated stages, Chopper Dave will say that Bossman called you and tells you to go downstairs and see him.
When you arrive at the bottom floor, Bossman says that there's an unexpected guest and the camera reveals 2BDamned standing next to Bossman.
2BDamned tells you your next objective: Complete your second contract mission and retrieve parts necessary to assemble the Enmeshment Drive from The VenDevice Syndicate.
After you finish the contract and come back to H.Q., you'll notice S.Q. Troops moving the parts for you and assembling the Enmeshment Drive with Chef and 2BDamned supervising them. After that 2BDamned tells you about The Machine and for you to complete the rest of the Arena stages while building the Enmeshment Drive.
Contract 3[]
After you complete Contract 2 and all it's associated stages, you get a call from 2BDamned over the phone and he tells you to meet him in Club Advent, where he'll be discussing a deal with The VenDevice.
Upon arrival, 2BDamned tells you that unfortunately you have to wait outside, but that's also a good thing because now that you're here it's less likely that the deal will 'go wrong'. After a while of waiting you hear an explosion and 2BDamned runs out of the room with a few VenDevice members, and he says to meet him at the H.Q. because someone is raiding Club Advent.
After escaping the club and killing Vampires you get cornered by 3 Vampire Bruisers, but then 2BDamned runs them over with his car and says "Let's drive.". You get in his car and he drops you off at the H.Q.
Contract 4[]
After completing all the remaining arena missions, Doc calls you and says you need to go and enmesh the mandatus.
After Merging with the Nowhere, you wake up in Doc's room, where he tells you to prepare for the 'procedure' and to walk up to the computer on the left to imprint a personality of your choosing when you're ready. You can get up from the bed and read through Doc's notes by interacting with the computers on the right side of the room.
