On the topic of me being sick (I'm better now) how often does your OC get sick? How do they handle getting sick?

Yorra rarely gets sick but when she does it's pretty bad because it's typically stemming from complications that came with her still healing insides. Buttons just confines her to bedrest and frets till Mugen has the good sense to text a family doctor associated with the Jaggers.

It reduced eventually to just typical seasonal flus as the years went by.

Nettle rarely gets sick, and if she does its generally from stress
Astra also hardly ever gets sick, tho its bc shes that one kid whos immune system is OP bc she ate dirt or smth
Orchid gets sick more often than the average person
Weiss is abt average

Odd can actually be pretty resilient to some contagious things (common cold, flu, stuff like that), but due to his unique biology he suffers from some pretty bad chronic ailments.

Namely, the semi-frequent, head-splitting migraines that flare up at times, bad enough where Mauve has to try to keep them at bay by projecting a Calm Mind onto Odd.

Most of my OCs rarely get sick, Labi can be a bit of a germaphobe at times, Charlie is in the woods enough he’s immune to all mortal diseases, and Visi and Dory both have doctor moms.

Whenever Dory is sick, she just gets super rude and super mean. Stuff inside her hurts so she doesn’t really want to see or talk to people, and will just curse and insult anyone who comes close to her. Even with Marnie and Bea (her partner and best friend), she gets mean and can get personal with her insults, and she usually becomes a mess of ‘Sorry’s’.

Elio comes from a family that partially makes their fortune on medicine. So, he doesn't get sick - to the point it's a rarity. Even if he does, he has an incredibly strong immune system due to constant training, him being an well-trained Aura user, making healthy life choices constantly, and having intermediate knowledge of remedies and medications which he picked up from his elder sibling and read online and in various papers and articles on medical breakthroughs.

Jin and Mary are usually pretty healthy. But if either of them DO get sick the other one goes into full nurse mode. Making sure they get plenty of rest, drinking fluids, and preparing their partner's favorite sick day meal.

Balei doesn't get that sick often but when she does she likes to relax in bed while watching weird action movies she finds. Now on the other hand if anyone (like her kids) gets sick you best believe she's taking care of them with warm blankets and stuff like that, she'd scold someone for getting out of bed while sick but also make you a pretty decent chicken soup :>
