Seán had created an eccentric doctor Ego well-loved by the fans. Some saw him as unhinged, others just unusual. Others liked to think he was just putting on an act for the cameras and acted completely different when they couldn't see him.
There was a surprising amount who believed he was working with Anti, wanting to kill their creator. Even more believed he and Anti hated each other the most because he stood in the glitch's way of taking over the channel.
The doctor would just laugh, roll his eyes, when he heard these 'headcanons'. Seán and Anti were some of his closest friends. It was Anti who introduced him to Dr. Iplier. After that, Doc was added to Schneep's list of trusted friends. Doc even took him under his wing, trained him in what Schneep wasn't familiar with. Which, honestly, was a lot.
Unlike the other doctor, Schneep's medical knowledge was greatly lacking when he was first created—likely because so many fans thought he was a phony, illegal, or whatever; whereas the other doctor seemed more genuine. More so than him, at least.
Most fans seemed to forget the fact that Seán had created Schneeplestein as a father. He had a wife, kids, who'd left him for a damn tennis instructor. The other Egos knew they didn't actually exist because of the fact so few acknowledged them. So few, they couldn't even become Figments linked to him like Chase's kids were. The doctor knew they didn't exist, too. They were just planted memories, like many of the Egos had, that gave him more of a history. Planted memories seemed so real, unfortunately. His family had names. He remembered a wedding that never truly happened; remembered holding his children as infants, though they didn't physically exist.
It brought him close to Chase Brody. Another Ego with a family. It made him quickly grow attached to Chase's kids, treat them like his own, spoil them. He was always holding little Sophie, always made it look like he'd done it a thousand times before. They saw him as the crazy uncle they couldn't help but love.
None of it really mattered to the fans. He was one of the most popular Septic Egos, after all!
Schneep's abilities were limited and simple. So much so that he'd figured them out within his first week or two of existence.
Like all the Egos, Schneep's strength comes from how much attention/popularity he gets from the fans. His abilities include:
-X-Ray: All he needs to do is run his hands over his patient's arm, head, etc. (wherever the problem is) to actually know the problem. It gives him a detailed mental X-ray of their bodies; more detailed than any conventional X-ray could be. The image he gets could be related to a 3D model.
-Link or Ego?: This ability matches Dr. Iplier. Schneep almost seems to be a Link Figment to the other Egos, rather than an Ego himself, with this ability. He has a connection to all the Septics, and it allows him to know their general well-being and whether or not he needs to get after them for not taking care of themselves. If a Septic were to fade, it would literally hit him in the gut and knock the wind out of him.
-Sleep: Marvin calls it hypnosis and hates when he does this. Instead of needing anesthetic, Schneep can just touch his patient's forehead and they'll be out cold for 24 hours (or sooner, if he wakes them back up). Because he has this ability, he actually doesn't know what dosage anesthetic should be used in, as he's never actually had to use it. And yes, that means he even knocks his patients out when it's not really needed.
