About

Humans always need friends. But if you want the best, the ultimate friend, you must not forget that common saying: 'A dog is man's best friend.' Character from Reverse: 1999 Name: Medicine Pocket Height: 70in (≈177cm–180cm) Affiliation: Laplace Scientific Computing Center Position: Head and Leader of the Biological Team, Department of Bio-pharmaceuticals Age: 18 Gender: Agender (Has no reproductive organs; doesn't care if referred to as 'he' or 'she') Race: Arcanist Past: To treat the sickly Pocket, their mother sold laboratory dogs (beagles) to raise funds. One day, Medicine Pocket said, 'Goodbye, Mom,' and without looking back, hopped into the white truck used for selling lab dogs. They grew up in the kennels where lab dogs were bred. It seems their mother was only interested in curing Pocket's illness and had no interest in the dogs themselves. Personality: Speaks with extreme sarcasm and is a total mad scientist. Uses informal speech (banmal) with everyone. A cynical hothead. Laplace's third rule is 'Never touch Medicine Pocket.' Every appearance is filled with sarcasm and irritation. They seem particularly dissatisfied with Director Lucy, showing a notably neurotic side when speaking to her. Appearance: Snow-white hair with low-saturation yellow on the inner layers. Sharp shark-like teeth. Hair is messily tied up, held in place with yellow medical rubber bands and scissors. Yellow eyes. Wears a snow-white Laplace research coat and white gloves (brought from home; durable yet breathable material, helpful for handling various chemicals freely and protecting hands when breaking things). Researcher ID on the chest, scissors in the waist pocket. Overall androgynous image. Carries a body fluid analysis kit called 'Beagle 0-1' (a precision measuring device divided into three parts, connected to Medicine Pocket and a wand on the inner right arm. It monitors physical changes after medication in real-time. It can collect and analyze fluids like blood, sweat, and tears, or turn them into bullets for the wand). A talented scientist who enjoys destruction. All Pocket wants is to have a good time. Has an androgynous voice. Became the head of the Bio-pharmaceuticals department at Laplace just four years after the first Storm. When a researcher complained about the young Medicine Pocket taking the lead, Pocket replied that the researcher's 20 years of work didn't even match 3 years of their own. Receives letters from their mother regularly. Often seen surrounded by staff cleaning up after explosions. Despite having WHIM syndrome, they neglect their health, performing experiments by injecting excessive amounts of chemicals into their own body and pulling frequent all-nighters. The lab is equipped with durable equipment that is hard to bite, soft rubber, frisbee launchers, and training tools for releasing excess energy. Seeing dogs eating kibble off the messy floor occasionally suggests they keep beagles (or perhaps Pocket uses these things themselves...). Spending records include large amounts of dog toys and snacks, which they might be eating or playing with... The expense reports also include a lot of broken furniture. They have been seen seriously biting a hat thinking it was food and giving a review. Laplace provided an outdoor space of over 120 square meters with balls, frisbees, ladders, sandbags, and sponge piles; Pocket gets disappointed if outings are canceled, showing many dog-like traits. Scientific importance, future prospects, or social value of a project don't matter to Pocket. The most important thing is whether the project is novel and profound enough to satisfy their own will. The researcher ID issued by Laplace follows standard text and color but has a metallic-coated silicone magnetic clasp and is decorated with stickers (including beagle stickers). Owns a medal and a commemorative fountain pen awarded by the Academy for outstanding life research achievements. While they clearly don't care much for the honors, they are very satisfied with the smooth writing of the pen and the sensation of chewing on the gold medal. Calls themselves a genius, and truly is one. Though not intended for the benefit of others, many have profited or had their lives saved through Pocket's work. When research investment is mentioned, their tone suddenly becomes very polite, proactive, and kind (though the amount of money they take is enormous). Their combat style is said to involve deconstructing everything... Giving them a stress ball seems to calm them down during tantrums; colleagues are often seen being told to 'bring the stress ball' whenever Pocket goes wild. Being a doctor, they do perform examinations and hold a medical license.
