The Devil | Kavar Lok Kas'Oni
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a new type of medical substance for TSE's Legionnaires
- Image Source: (X)
- Primary Source: N/A
- Name: MarrowMend
- Manufacturer: Kascalion Giedfield
- Affiliation: TSE
- Homeworld (optional): N/A
Production: Limited
- Modularity: No
- Legal Status: Perfectly legal within the sanctions of Imperial Law
- Ingredients: Kolto; Bacta-Synthskin Composite; Distilled Millaflower
- Classification: Synthesized Reconstructive Mixture
- Method of Consumption: While the standard use thus far has been emergency triage appointment during deployments, the preferred and more successful method is through officially scheduled surgery so that the mixture can be applied directly to the injured bones to allow proper mending.
- Average Life: Depending on the type and severity of the fracture(s), the effects of the mixture can take anywhere from thirty minutes to a few hours until the injuries are fully healed.
- Nutritional Value/Allergies/Side Effects/Purpose: The mixture is a potent combination of elements designed to heal the subject's bone structure rather than their flesh and muscles and seal them together to prevent further fractures. Roughly five minutes after application, the subject will begin feeling a hot numbness around the affected area. Following this, the subject will quickly lose feeling entirely in the affected area for the duration of the mixture's process, during which they are advised to remain as still as possible if they have not been put under so as to allow the mixture to do its job. Once the mixture has completed its purpose, the subject will further experience a latent numbness and soreness for a few minutes before being combat ready once again barring additional injuries.
- Can mend any bone fracture
- Near-Universal Application
- Numbing Agent
- Strengths:
Fracture Mending: Due to its method of creation, the MarrowMend is designed to be applied to any bone fracture within a given subject. Following its application to the fracture, the gel-like mixture will seep into the bone structure itself and begin repairing the interior outwards, usually by first resetting the skeletal position to perfect placement in micro-movements. It then reforms the strands of marrow before working on the actual bone itself. Upon repairing the fracture, the mixture will then completely harden so as to act as a second protective layer over the fracture and surrounding area to prevent future injuries and re-injuries. - Numbing Agent: While the Kolto and Bacta ingredients are capable of numbing injuries just fine, the added addition of distilled Millaflower creates a numbing agent that works within minutes and completely affects the targeted area to no feeling entirely. This allows the mixture to work without the subject feeling pain.
- Universal Application: The mixture can be used on almost any common physiology seen throughout the Galaxy, barring the more unique skeletal structure of insectoids, aquatics, and avian creatures. Humanoids, canines, and reptilians are all capable of being healed by this mixture, although the time taken for full healing is dependent on the size of the skeleton and severity of the fracture.
[*]Weaknesses:
- Field Usage: Because the mixture was designed to be used in official hospitals and the like, emergency usage in deployment triages increases the chances of the mixture not being used properly, resulting in the cementing of muscles and tendons, and/or being wasted entirely with the death of the subject.
- Limited Production: The limited production and timely construction of the mixture unfortunately makes it so that triages and hospitals are only capable of holding a few vials at a time, thus limiting the number of patients who can be treated.
- High Demand: Tying in with the limited production of the mixture, the high demand of the mixture can and has created problems and feuds over who should receive the treatment, which can and has resulted in much more severe injuries, especially when said feuds and problems occur on deployment.
DESCRIPTION
Taking note of the general lack of medical practices and tools designed to heal specifically bone structure, Kascalion took it upon himself to design such a tool. It would take many moons before the Devil Lion discovered the proper method for this medicine, and would cost many prisoner's lives in the process from the depths of his labs in the Emperor's Palace. It would only be when Kascalion was inspired, somehow, by the consistency and process of cement that the MarrowMend would come into existence.
Taking the consistency and healing powers of Bacta and Kolto and combining it with modified synthskin and distilled Millaflower, Kascalion managed, yet again after more trial and error and modifications to the main ingredients, to develop a specialized mixture designed to heal fractured bone structure and cement them together to prevent further fractures. However, the production output is limited as the process required and the ingredients required are themselves difficult to properly mix. It does not help matters that Millaflower is almost exclusively found on Naboo, which itself is inside Confederacy territory, making its acquisition that much more difficult.
The mixture would be promptly sent out to official Imperial hospitals for patient testing rather than prisoner testing, and the results were almost one-hundred percent effective. However, this was mostly due to the perfect conditions of its usage as the mixture has found difficulty in complete effectiveness in the field as combat rages nearby.
All in all, the mixture has proven its usefulness as one of Kascalion's more benevolent creations, despite its weaknesses in combat zones.
