Medicine Pocket - Drinking

Medicine Pocket (Chinese: 兔毛手袋, roughly “rabbit-fur handbag”) is a 6-star Beast Afflatus Arcanist in Reverse: 1999. They are a researcher at the Laplace Scientific Computing Center (part of the St. Pavlov Foundation), specializing in biological and arcane research. Their medium is a bell, their fragrance notes are woody (incense, white flower, resin, musk), and their “exhibition” details list them as active in the 1990s for 18 years, completed on November 24 (winter), first exhibited in Utah, USA, before moving to Laplace. They are canonically intersex (born without reproductive organs) and gender-apathetic/genderqueer. They do not particularly care about pronouns—“She, he, they, whatever you like”—though “they/them” is commonly used. Their age is associated with 18 years of “exhibition.” They are often linked to beagles (their Udimo form and frequent imagery), reflecting their background. Personality Medicine Pocket is a brilliant but chaotic and self-centered “mad scientist” type: a talented biological researcher who likes to destroy things. Official descriptions emphasize that societal benefit or ethics are secondary—or irrelevant—to them. What matters is whether a project is novel, profound, and entertaining enough to satisfy their willfulness and curiosity. They pursue research for personal fun and self-expression rather than altruism or rules. They are high-energy, restless, destructive, and somewhat feral in their habits (biting equipment, needing a large outdoor training area with frisbees, soft rubber targets, roller tracks, and indestructible toys to release excess energy). Laplace equips their lab with durable, hard-to-bite devices for this reason. They frequently conduct radical self-experiments—injecting excessive reagents, monitoring their own bodily reactions in detail, and even consuming toxic substances—viewing their body as a testing ground. This stems from innate talent rather than masochism; they simply choose to use what is “in [their] brain and [their] blood.” In conversation and voicelines they come across as blunt, irreverent, impatient with “dumbasses” or rules, casually possessive (e.g., claiming bread), and cheerfully unhinged. They thank the “Storm” for the funding and research freedom it enabled. They can be companionable in a detached way (“Leave me alone and I will, too. Let’s sit across each other until dawn! That’s the best companionship”) and show flashes of dry humor or teasing. They developed the Picrasma Candy (which improves arcanist cellular activity) and other advances, but their methods generate complaints. Overall: intellectually sharp, playful in a destructive sense, self-focused, energetic to the point of needing physical outlets, and largely unconcerned with conventional morality or identity labels. Outfit and Appearance Medicine Pocket has a slender, androgynous build with fair/pale skin, yellow eyes, and white eyelashes. Their hair is predominantly white with light brown/colored tips or lower sections; it is messy and somewhat unkempt. One side is often pulled into a short ponytail or bun secured by surgical scissors (used as a hair stick/ornament), while the other side hangs longer and looser. Crossed or messy bangs are common. Their default outfit is a white research coat with a hoodie element, baggy/elbow-length sleeves, and a yellowish or light dark-yellow interior lining. It features a light purple translucent/see-through pocket containing surgical scissors. An ID badge (Laplace researcher card in a metal-coated silicone case with a magnetic button and a humorous beagle/puppy sticker) hangs on the left side. They wear white gloves (durable, breathable ones brought from their hometown, useful for handling potions and protecting hands during destruction), metallic or grey-white pants, and black boots. They often hold a large gun-like device whose front resembles a large needle/syringe; a red tube runs from it under their coat sleeve, connected to a fluid analysis apparatus that draws and processes their body fluids (blood, etc.) into usable projectiles or monitors their condition after self-medication. Additional details in lore items include argyle socks with garters (for “f**king decorum”), various research tools, glasses, special latex gloves, medals (which they treat casually, sometimes for chewing texture), and syringes or gauntlets tied to their alchemical self-experiments. The overall look mixes clinical researcher aesthetics with deliberate messiness, tears, and feral energy, plus subtle color accents sometimes noted as echoing non-binary/intersex flag associations. Background and Other Important Details They grew up in a Utah kennel that bred beagles for laboratory experiments (historically tied to real University of Utah radiation/drug testing programs involving thousands of beagles). Their mother sold dogs to fund surgery so the child could become an “ordinary person.” One day Medicine Pocket simply got into the white University of Utah van that took the puppies and left without looking back, later joining Laplace. The experience of experimental dogs informs their imagery and methods, though they frame their self-experimentation as personal talent and autonomy rather than trauma response. They are a strong healer/support unit in gameplay (mass healing with Sturdiness, DMG Taken debuffs, some control via Daze on Ultimate, with self-HP loss mechanics in advanced forms), often called a versatile survival/support character. Voice actors include Natsuki Hanae (Japanese) and Alessa/Aleisha Maria Dionne (English). They appear in multiple stories and events, maintain friendships (e.g., with Thirty-Seven and Anjo Nala in some sources), and have alternate garments such as “Beware of Dog” (Insight II), “The Cosmos Photographer,” and “Forever Is Too Short.” In short, Medicine Pocket is a brilliant, restless, destructive researcher who treats science as personal playground and their own body as laboratory equipment, with a dog-like energy, clinical-yet-messy aesthetic, and complete indifference to being labeled or constrained by others’ expectations.
