hy-po-chon-dri-a (n.) - the persistent conviction that one is or is likely to become ill, often involving symptoms when illness is neither present nor likely, and persisting despite reassurance and medical evidence to the contrary

Ever since he can remember, the little Terracoon has always wanted to be a doctor. Some of his peers would constantly change their minds about what they wanted their profession to be when they became adults, but not he. Modern medicine had always fascinated him. The ability to see someone with a bug or a disease and to help them out and cure them...how he longed for it! He read up on every book his young mind could understand back then, talked to the school nurses and his doctors, watched up on shows about the body's way of healing...
It wasn't until he headed off to college until it really started.
He thought he was ready for everything. He prepared his whole life to finally get to this moment. He was finally going to learn the secrets to making everyone's lives better. People would call him a hero, every kid would look up to him, everyone would love him...
Then his work came piling in. He had to study up on everything to get through his classes. It was so rough! And the more and more he crammed in, if felt like he himself was starting to feel the symptoms of the very diseases he was reading. And it was true. The more he convinced himself he had it, the more his body was convinced, and it started displaying a few symptoms of the cases he had seen.
"Dizzy spells? Fever?" he thought. "...I do feel a little warm..and weak...gosh, I must have that one then!"
He started to stay up all night, worrying about all of the illnesses he read over. The flu, hay fever, polio, herpes...you name it, he was convinced he had it. He felt no need to see a doctor, since his confidence in his knowledge assured him he knew what he was talking about. The poor Terracoon would ramble on to his classmate about his acquired diseases he never knew he had, but they simply laughed at him. From then on, he was known as "Hypo"; short for "hypochondria", which seemed to be the disease he actually had developed.
Hypo could no longer stand being at his university, and so he dropped out and now lives with his fateful Paphos. They stay together, locked inside and wearing surgeon's mask as Hypo is far too afraid of the germs both inside and outside which may lead to more diseases. He accomplishes a lot of cleaning, though he rarely seems happy anymore...
