- bro on god i have been going NUTS i cannot believe i picked this guy up
for a more refined v of my footnotes uh
known by many as dr lycoris, his real name gladiolus, known by many as a travelling physician who specialises in medicine and procedures for the supernatural and undead, he responds to requests and pleas for his medical help for curses and afflictions no purification or homebrewed remedy can fix. he charges a lot, but the success rate is almost certain, what isnt certain is if he will come. hes a half demon, after selling off his soul to save his town from a deadly plague at the cost of anyone who knew him before his transformation being unable to remember him. likewise, his blood has insanely potent properties, and if mixed in a potion can revive the dead, at the cost of the freshly reawakened soul forgetting all their loved ones and sense of purpose, becoming a sad and empty shell of who they once were.
*[adds more gd] in this regard gladiolus has a very nihilistic and apathetic outlook ahead; he cant sleep, no one who mattered to him has even a semblance of who he is and his renown comes from medical miracles which play into the hands of the realms that should be beyond him with sometimes disastrous results. material possession does not matter to him, instead he only seeks validation for his actions, for even under all that sorrow he does not regret what he has done, nor does he want anyone to remember him. instead, he can spend his sleepless nights to some degree, content that he is helping others even without his mortal tie.
