effect give @a invisibility

because he hides his eyes, makes the church do that too

Considers his gear a separate entity from themselves, thereby being spawned without a gear

this is complete nonsense and I’m just giggling to myself imagining that

“wow guys!!! You really hate our brother, we mean Firebrand!! And all deities!! Well guys, follow us!!”

this is immediately debunked by the fact that overseer is fairly short

WEIRDLY ENOUGH I'VE HAD THIS THOUGHT BEFORE?????

I don't think so. BUT HOLY SHIT WOULD THAT BE A TWIST.

CHUCKSWORD ATTACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Also with the rarity of actual healing gears, I think trained doctors with combat gears would be somewhat common but it’s still really funny to me to think of some Dr. Nuke Launcher

I HAVE MANY OPINIONS ON THIS! I actually think it differs between regions.

Blackrock has VERY advanced medical technology, usually LEADED by inphernals with healing gears, as the administration will push you into a career based on your gear, but non-healers gears could get medical careers as well. This is where a lot of scientific research is going on about diseases, how to cure inphernal cancer, how to prolong life, etc etc.

The downside of Blackrockian healthcare is its MAJOR cost; not in money, but in that you have to be Blackrockian by blood and also be loyal to the administration for the entirety of your life. Unfortunate! Any rebel groups or ‘traitors’ are deprived medical care.

Lost Temple is also VERY advanced. Pre-Scorch they were just behind Blackrock in terms of medical science, and although the Scorch GREATLY set them back, the preservation of medical records and textbooks has made medical knowledge more accessible, and doctors who survived the Scorch are EAGER to pass the knowledge down. Most Lost Temple inphernals know well past the basics of medicine. With the insane number of injuries from the Scorch AND the Lost Temple civil-war, doctors are more important than ever.

While many inphernals are skilled, things like surgical knowledge, prosthetic engineering, vaccines, etc, are NOT well-known, and there are still MANY fatalities in Lost Temple. This is why Medkit is SOOOO so important to the Church.

Thieves’ Den relies mainly on natural remedies like oils, tea, good diet, FRUIT! Denizens eat VERY well. Obviously they can’t rely on plants for EVERYTHING, especially because they DO go to war and go to the jungle and get injured all the time. But even things like their gauze and bandages are made from leaves and plants, and even NEEDLES are mainly wooden.

They also enjoy the alliance with Lost Temple because then they can access Weird Other Plants and make New Cures….

Doctors are pretty common in Thieves’ Den. Even though a lot of them are not healers. Ya :D Inphernals who don’t align with the Darkage clan are basically screwed though (unless you’re Vine Staff because #she’s a healer)

Splintered Skies medical care is ummmmm. Iffy.

They have ADVANCED surgical techniques, vaccines, their doctors are highly trained and professional, the only issue isssss that Windforce doesn’t like WIMPS!!!!!!!!! You got a gash on your leg an inch deep? Fucking. Walk it off. You have diabetes? Walk it the fuck OFF. God FORBID you need a mental health day….

You will be pushed, and pushed, and pushed, until you are DYING. And then once you’re dying they’ll probably fix you up, BUT STILL. VERY TORMENTING.

Craterdust is ah. Lacking. In medical care. Doctors do exist but they are scarce and expensive. Very few doctors are exiled, because, by the time they’ve honed their skills enough to earn a position in a clinic, they’ve been thoroughly manipulated into submission by Windforce. The few doctors who have been thrown off share their knowledge, so doctors are SLOWLY becoming more common.

A lot of siblings in media fuckin HATE EACH OTHERS ASSES. To the point where it’s just cartoonish. I get sibling rivalries but sometimes, especially in siblings with big age gaps, it just starts to feel like abuse???? Or an unhealthy relationship??????? It gets to a point where it’s not cute or funny

Then there’s all the weird. Siblings who love each other so much that it’s actually boring and they are so flat and one dimensional. Or worse it just feels icky. This shit happens so much with twins too where they’re just THEEEE BESTTTT of friends, and it feels codependent.

Shuri and Vine. Are so perfect. Because they care about each other SO much. They have been through SO much together. And somehow they’re STILL fucking things up. AND IT’S REALISTIC!!!!

They don’t have the Perfect Sibling Twin Bond shit okay, and I love them for it.

Vine Staff is isolated and lonely and she doesn’t know how to make friends. She’s spent most of her life alone and has been consistently cast out by society and probably has severe issues connecting with people because of it.

Shuriken was raised into a horrifically manipulative environment. I’m speculating but his parents likely viewed him as more of a tool than anything, and he grew up with that strange dichotomy that happens in emotionally abusive environments where you love your parents and yet being around them makes you feel scared and sick and you can’t trust them with anything because you don’t feel SAFE.

And THEN Shuriken had to make the sudden decision to LEAVE his environment, this place he had been slowly programmed to view as his only true home, with his only true friends, his loving family, his mentors and elders, and to be with his sister. THAT WAS A BIG DECISION. HE COULD SO EASILY HAVE LIVED A LIFE OF COMFORT IN DARKAGE, BUT HE DIDNT. BECAUSE SHURIKEN. LOVES AND CARES FOR HIS SISTER DEEPLY.

AND SO THEY LIVE TOGETHER BUT NEITHER OF THEM WANT TO TELL EACH OTHER ABOUT THEIR ISSUES. THEY WANT TO THINK IT’S ALL OVER AND THAT THEY CAN LIVE NORMAL LIVES, BUT THEY CAN’T. Shuriken will ALWAYS be longing for home, Vine Staff CANNOT move on, and they won’t. JUST. TALK ABOUT IT!!!!!!

Don’t get me started on this fucking guy….

Firebrella is one of those ships where. I think they’re very codependent. It’s not. Healthy. That’s why I talk so much about them. It’s hard to separate their characters because they have an unhealthy dependency on each other. WHICH IN TURN. ONLY MAKES THEM MORE INTERESTING. Umbrella’s a very lonely, very private person. So of course. They’d latch on to someone like him.
