Health Potion watches his gear intently, keeping an ear out for Shuriken's stammered explanation.

"Must've been pretty lucky to find this then..."

He picks up one of the few remaining ingredients, then pauses, staring at the beaker the current concoction was being held in.

"...Uh oh-"

Without any notable warning, the beaker explodes, sending shards of glass and ruined potion flying in all directions. The liquid burns to the touch and evaporates almost as quickly as it exploded into black smoke, floating up into the air. Just like that, nearly all of the ingredients Shuriken had gathered were put to waste on a ruined, useless potion. None of it could be salvaged.

Health Potion steps back, coughing and swatting smoke from his face. He unclips his goggles, his heavily scarred eyes squinting at the lenses. He sighs and drops his arms, his attention back to Shuriken. "You-... You okay?..."

He pulls a spare cloth from his belt and offers it to him. "I'm sorry, I... I must've put in too many grains of salt. And... Put it in too early..." He sighs, frustrated with himself. "Damnit..."

" ... "

how could he start this conversation? he had no clue where to begin, especially since the context was about his sister. but still he approaches, with a bag of oddly specific ingredients in hand.

" yo ! you uh ... have some time ? i need a bit of help ... "

(( @kumonohoshi !! I was a bit scared to interact but hiiii!!! ))

"Hi?... Um... Yeah, I'm not... I'm not doing anything... right now..." He shifts his weight, sensing some awkward energy about this demon before him. While his head seems focused on you, you can feel his eyes are more interested in the bag... "...What do you need help with?..."

[the-healthiest-potion]

"Alright, no need to tell me twice..." Health Potion mumbles, taking the scroll and opening it.

The expression he makes reading the scroll does not help the situation at all.

He lays the scrolls down flat on the table, then shoulders his gear off of his back, placing it down. His head tilts up at Shuriken. "We, uh... We're gonna be here a while."

He smiles awkwardly at Shuriken before focusing on the task at hand. He works quickly, handling each ingredient and segment of machinery with care. He's clearly been at this whole alchemy thing a while, so... Maybe a miracle isn't too far out of reach.

After a while of silence, Health Potion decides a conversation might help. It would at least take their minds off of the funky smell the work-in-progress cure was emitting...

"So, uh... How'd you get this recipe anyway? I've met more healers than I have alchemists and... Well, there's not a lot of healers out there..."

" ... "

[the-healthiest-potion]

Health Potion's awkward smile falters. His eyebrows raise as Shuriken drops the ingredients on the table and mumbles to him. "...Wow." It takes him a second, to process everything he's looking at. "Some of these are... How did you?!-" He shakes his head. "I need to stop asking questions- Look... I've never made a cure for a curse before, I gotta be honest with you. And these ingredients in front of me right now? Really tricky to work with. And most of them are pretty hard to get... I can't... promise anything, but I can tell this means a lot to you. And your sister, whoever she is." Health Potion picks up one of the ingredients laid out on the table, inspecting it. "...It'll be a miracle if I get this first try... Alchemy's super delicate, I say that a lot, but that's never stopped me before. Just... Be prepared for the worst, okay?" He puts the ingredient down and returns focus to Shuriken. "Do you... happen to have a recipe on you? Anything'll help."

How's it been going with Coil? I know what you are, HP! :p - @orbital-strike-flute

"Everything's great! I got a bunch of old pictures to look at of the old me to help jog my memory and I think I should be able to start boxing with Coil soon! I've been working out and trying to rely on myself more instead of my potions...

It takes one to know one, Kazoo. So, how're you and Medkit?"

[the-healthiest-potion]

I like you.

you're my friend now :3

we're having soft tacos later !!! /ref

"Ah- We are?? Tacos???? ...Okay. Um. Sure. I like tacos..."

"Psstt...barista boy! You say you can make shit like poison, yeah? Got anything for a lil...'buddy' who's not from 'round town?"

@the-mau

"...I don't make poison anymore. Go find someone else to do your dirty work..."

[the-healthiest-potion]

Do you only make health potions or can the machine do more?

"Well... While Health Potions are the easiest thing to make, it's definitely not the only thing the machine can do. Health Potions don't need to be 'made', per se. My machine can produce them naturally since I have an infinite reservoir of the stuff. Invisibility, Speed, Strength... Poison, even... are all things I have to make from scratch though. The potion machine pretty much functions like a cauldron. I can make just about any potion I want, so long as I have the ingredients for it and I do everything in a really specific way. I've had failures explode on me and one time I got so sick from the fumes of a failure I passed out and didn't wake up until like... a week later. Alchemy's delicate stuff, turns out... I have a stack of notebooks full of recipes and notes I've written down so that I never forget the very crucial information I've gathered messing around with the modifications on my gear and re-remembering forgotten knowledge. Sometimes, I'll read through my notes to calm my nerves or just out of boredom. Great for when I'm alone and I need something to keep my mind off of the looming dread I get."

!!! BLOG UPDATE !!!

Hi! It's been a while I don't think there's anyone here to see this or care really but just in case there is, as part of my new years resolutions, I'm gonna renovate this blog and try posting daily on it! It's gonna take a bit since HP's lore changed like... A LOT... Since Coil came out and I need to make a better info post anyway SOOOO... Any posts below or older than this one on my blog are no longer official or whatever and I'm just keeping them for media preservation sake. Ok bye-bye!!!! - @prismo-pelican

[the-healthiest-potion]

Just watched a guy get burnt to a crisp while on the job. I don't even know what happened I looked away from the squad I was supposed to be healing for like... two seconds and when I look back one of our guys is just a pile of fucking ash on the floor. How does that even happen???

"Whole fucking. SQUAD. Of Biografts outside of the Iron Cafe today. Had everyone on the job pressed up against the windows staring at them from outside and they're all just standing there. Like they're waiting for something. Personally, Biografts aren't all that scary to me but I've never seen so many in one place before... They didn't even enter the cafe, they all just gathered outside of it, stood around, and then left. No idea what that was about. None of my coworkers seem to know either."

[the-healthiest-potion]

how much is the medical bill?

"The Medical Bill? For what? A potion? I'm not a doctor, man, I'm more like... I dunno, a pharmacist? ...Yeah, a pharmacist sounds right. Uhhhhhhh... Anyway, I don't really do commissions. Boss just pays me for every mission I go on. Other than that, I can just... give you a health potion for free. Healing people outside of work is more of a hobby if anything, I don't expect payment for it if it's not a work-related thing."

[the-healthiest-potion]

"There is literally nothing more embarrassing than fucking up a massive order and getting yelled at for it. Like oh yes, how could I forget you wanted your mocha caramel iced latte with extra foam in a cup larger than the size of your order so you can put in your own cream and sugar without spilling a drop brewed at exactly 100 degrees and served to that exact temperature and not a degree over or under at 100 degrees no more or less I'm SO sorry your stupid little thermometer read 101 degrees instead of 100 let me just fucking stand here while you chew me out for an hour and a half. Fucking Swords, dude, just kill me at this point."

BLOG INTRO WOOHOO!!!

Hiii!! I'm Prismo (@prismo-pelican) I go by any pronouns and I'm in my early 20s!!! This is like... The first roleplay blog thingy I've ever done PLEASE have patience with me!!!

This is a roleplay/ask/parody blog for my silly little Phighting OC, Health Potion! His dialogue will be in red while general narration will be in normal text! (Example: "Wow, I sure do love not dying!" He gives you a thumbs up!) This post miiight be kinda long, but I hope it's not unbearably long for people to read....

RULES!!!

No NSFW stuff! I would prefer it if there was nothing suggestive in my requests!

No romance prompts, please!

Canon and OC interactions are encouraged! I'm not picky, I'd love to see HP interact with anyone.

You're allowed to traumatize him. Go. Be free. (I'm ok with stuff like gore!)

Basic DNI (Homophobes, Transphobes, Sexists, Incels, Proshippers, Darkshippers, etc) and stuff. I know I can't stop those kinds of people from interacting with me if they want to, but I want to clarify that they're not welcome here.

Just don't be a jerk!

Other than that, feel free to interact with me! I'd love to get more engaged with roleplaying communities and the phighting community as a whole! :D

WARNINGS!!!

Just some general Content Warnings that are probably gonna be prevalent themes with HP!

Abuse. Specifically Physical and Psychological

Mentions of scars in general. Not SH scars, but the topic of scars and their origins might be mentioned.

Alcoholism/Alcohol mention in general

Pretty sure some other warnings just go with Phighting Lore in general like Cult Activity and Violence. Idk if that's all of them, but those are the two big ones I know are there. Stay safe out there!

And now, under the cut, will be CHARACTER INFORMATION, PREDETERMINED RELATIONSHIPS, APPEARANCES, and TAGS!

CHARACTER INFORMATION!!!

PERSONALITY: HP is an anxious, awkward overthinker with determination and a stubborn soul. He sticks to his ideals and beliefs religiously and as a result, he never gives up on trying to help people. He firmly believes that all people are innocent until proven guilty and that all innocent people should not be without a chance to receive support. Because of these beliefs and how closely he sticks to them, HP offers healing in any way he can pretty much for free. The only thing stopping him from fully committing to the role of a healer is his fears and inability to brave dangers alone. LORE: HEALTH POTION (HP for short) is an old friend of Coil's with quite a complicated history... His backstory's a little long, so I'll do the best I can to summarize!

Health Potion formerly went by a different name and appearance as a Blackrockian partner in crime to Coil until one day when he was caught and used as a test subject for an experimental brain chip that wiped his memories. For a bit, he was placed as a subordinate to Subspace, who was anything but kind to him (and probably downright abusive) because he knew HP still wasn't fully "broken" and didn't want yet another healer to become an issue for him. Ironically, this treatment is what led HP to run away from Blackrock after he somehow found out about Medkit's successful escape before his own.

To get back on his feet, Health Potion worked as a healer for underground fighting rings and completely changed his appearance in the process, which is where he met Coil again for the second time. Recognizing HP, Coil rekindled their friendship and now helps HP in trying to uncover forgotten memories.

Currently, HP and Coil share a hiding space, and (to my personal headcanon? I think?) share an apartment with Skateboard.

(Note: HP's brain chip is not traceable due to connections to a friend's OC, Kazoo, who introduced him to Medkit and paid the medic to tamper with the chip. I just didn't put it in the lore summary to keep it as short as I could. :3)

HP prefers He/Him pronouns! TRIVIA:

HP's gear has been modified so heavily that he barely even counts as a potion anymore. It's more like an Alchemy machine he uses to make much more than just Health Potions, though that is his gear's main function.

HP experiences intense migraines and chronic headaches thanks to the chip in his brain.

Due to the intense abuse Health Potion faced in Blackrock, he developed a chronic phobia of the dark and loneliness.

(There's more, but I think it'd be more fun for people to discover the rest through asks and roleplay threads!)

PREDETERMINED RELATIONSHIPS!!!

HP and Coil have a pretty solid friendship! Even though HP isn't how he used to be, he's still Coil's friend, and a loyal one at that. He admires Coil's overwhelming confidence and is slightly horrified at the sheer lack of consequences he's faced for being a major thorn in Blackrock's side. HP would follow Coil anywhere. In his eyes, there is very little Coil can do wrong. Skateboard and HP are pretty good friends, too! After all, any friend of Coil's is a friend of Skateboard's and HP is very thankful to have Skateboard as a friend. He thinks of Skateboard as a supportive figure and really appreciates everything he's done for him. Subspace terrifies HP. And he is very vocal about this. He sees Subspace in his nightmares and can always feel his oppressive presence in the back of his mind. He can say he doesn't remember what happened to him all he wants, but it's hard to forget the reason you can't feel like you used to. Because of HP's fear of Subspace, Biografts in general REALLY intimidate him. HP and Medkit are on neutral terms. They really only spoke once, but they have a mutual understanding that they were hurt by the same person. And from that, there's a little feeling of respect. At least for HP. HP and Kazoo (@orbital-strike-flute) are best friends! Platonic Siblings, even! Who argue! All the time! Constantly! They would probably die for each other! All other characters are people HP has either never met, or has only heard about.

[He also has relationships with other OCs that belong to other friends, but I'm not going to put them here! HP might mention them by name, though, if my friends are comfortable with it and the ask or reply I'm doing or whatever calls for the opportunity!]
