Owen’s Wiki
After his second death by radiation, Owen arrived in Discedo only to learn the city was slowly coming out of the effects of radiation poisoning, information he was less than comfortable with. One of the first people he met when he arrived was Sora Naegino who would eventually become something akin to an adopted niece to Owen as well as his apprentice and helper at the hospital.
Once Owen learned of the run down hospital in Discedo, he quickly set up residence in one of the abandoned offices there and set to cleaning it up more than it had before and making it even more functional than the limited functionality than it had when he arrived. Shortly after this, he did an experimental surgery on himself to remove the chip in his inner thigh with the logic that, since he didn’t really know what he was looking for, he couldn’t risk damaging someone else because he messed up. Luckily, the surgery was a success and, after suffering the week of side-effects that came with chip-removal, he reopened the hospital full time for anyone who needed or wanted it.
This was when a man whom had really only been an acquaintance before, Daisuke Aurora, decided to move in to Owen’s office and crash on his couch. At first Owen protested and was his usual snarky, sarcastic, self, but Daisuke was too laid back to be effected and he eventually grew on the doctor. Owen even supported the blossoming relationship between Daisuke and Sora who became his apprentice around that time.
Sadly, Daisuke left, causing Owen to realize how much he’d become accustomed to the blonde’s presence and friendship. This also caused Sora to begin coming around more often which only strengthened their relationship. Shortly after this, Owen reached a lull in his work when life and everything that had happened just came crashing in on him. Since he could now drink normally again, he took to a local bar and got himself thoroughly drunk. After making a drunk (and rather depressing) post to the network, Sora came to find him which resulted in him admitting to her that he was dead back home, not just once, but twice. Despite his embarrassment at having been so open and frank, this event solidified his relationship with Sora and made her one of the most important people in his life.
This was also when he met the recently arrived Dr. Washu. While it wasn’t the best first impression, it got them talking and they both appreciated and admired each other’s sarcasm and wit. Washu set up shop in Owen’s hospital as well and soon, in addition to their working relationship, the two started having more intimate meetings. It’s only a few months after this that Owen leaves Discedo, returns a couple weeks later, and then leaves a couple weeks after that, only toreturn to the darkness of death arrive in Hinoto-ri!

Canon Standing: Post-season 2
Personality:
The first impression most people get from Owen Harper is that he’s rude, cold, and painfully sarcastic. He never seems to care how he comes off to other people and those other people pick up on that. This front is, basically, what makes up the surface layer of his personality. Owen often has very little tact when dealing with everyday people, even friends. His sarcasm is a key trait and personal line of defense and he uses it like a knife. Most of his ‘disconnectedness’ spawns from his disconnected mother. This early emotional pain of being ignored is, ultimately, what causes him to push his emotions and feelings down and hide them under a cold, distant, sarcastic exterior.
Although Owen has always been particularly cynical, cold, and distant, this really picked up and only grew worse after his fiancée fell ill with ‘early Alzheimer’s’ that was actually an alien parasite growing like a tumor on her brain. After walking in on the alien having killed the surgeons and the woman he loved, Katie, he grew more angry and spiteful, more at his own helplessness than the alien’s existence. His own feelings of helplessness and not being able to do anything to save Katie, only add another layer of his emotional defenses, or rather defensiveness. He’s decided emotions only cause pain and he does everything including abuse sex and alcohol to dull them.
While Owen often acts cold and distant, he really does have a large heart, almost too large considering the kind of rough life he lived. He’s a romantic and, although he abuses his own life, he is constantly determined to save as many other lives as he can. Consequently, it doesn’t take much for someone to worm their way past his defenses. This often shows while he’s in ‘doctor mode.’ His bedside manner is very good (despite his claim that dealing with patients is the worst part of being a doctor) and he’s always gentle with children, patients or not. His very reason for becoming a doctor was to save at least one life to, once again showing his more selfless side when it comes to others. However, it can be said his desire to save people added to his cynicism seeing as with every person he couldn’t save he felt loss and pain like it was his fault which only cemented his desire to drive his own emotions away (not that he truly could).
Another side to Owen is his more ‘devil-may-care’ attitude when it comes to his lifestyle. He has no problem with, and often does, sleep around and flirt. Although it’s often women he flirts and beds, when it comes to sex, he’s not picky. This same kind of attitude shows up when Owen is out in the field tracking and taking down aliens; he’ll often do reckless and risky things even though it’s clear he does care about living, only proving that Owen is his own worst enemy.
Key Personality Differences:
Thanks to the relationships he made in Discedo (and living after dying twice) Owen is a little more laid back and has switched back into his role as doctor, which means he practices that bedside manner of his a lot more often. He’s still very sarcastic and cynical and would be more likely to snark than pay a compliment, but he’s more bark than he is bite and he’s learned to loosen up about trying to bury his emotions. He’s still afraid of the pain they bring, but he’s a little more willing to let them out.

Writing Sample
Sample thread from Discedo
Test drive meme thread
The alarms blared and the lights flashed, the sound of the radiation venting in hissed in accompaniment. This was how he was finally going to go. Old age was never an option, the bullet wound still open on his chest didn’t get him, it was going to be radiation; he was going to dissolve…and he’d have to watch the whole thing. He could already feel it encircling him and, for the first time since his ‘death’ he was glad he couldn’t feel because, otherwise, this would’ve hurt like a bitch.
Carefully, he sat down on the ground, leaned up against the console that once let him hear Tosh’s beautiful voice, before the radiation ate the circuitry. He wasn’t going to be able to stand soon anyway, might as well skip the falling part. Already, he could tell his vision was going; his hearing and thinking would be close to follow. At least this wouldn’t take long. He imagined Tosh, sitting there in the Hub, crying over his death, and, not for the first time, he wished he wasn’t so dense. They probably could have been a good pair, but he’d been too busy looking everywhere else. That wasn’t the only regret he had, but, it was the strongest in his mind right now; at least he’d been able to tell her good-bye.
The room went black and the alarms faded away proving that the soft tissues of his eyes and ears had both been eaten away. His brain was next and, already, it was getting hard to remember things that had happened. His memory was going. Desperately he grasped for the memories of the last couple weeks, as painful as they’d been at the time with his ‘non-life’, they were now too precious to lose. He’d still had his friends, at least and it was their faces, voices, mannerisms that he kept going over to keep himself sane while the last bit of his consciousness melted away.
Death had come once again for Owen Harper, and, this time, he was ready to face it, the images of those he cared about still on his mind.
