Meddeers are regular animals in the PHIGHTING! universe and can be found in forests and stuff. So, every phighter is created with the base of an animal, such as dragon for ban hammer or scorpion for subspace, but medkit was accidentally created with too much (med)deer assets so to everyone else he looks a bit too much like a deer - like, if medkit didn’t have all of his human/phighter proportions, people would genuinely think he’s just a meddeer.
So, when he was an itty bitty pill baby people just thought he was a deformed looking pilldeer ,,, so they threw him in the forest where he was further adopted by a Herd of meddeer. Medkit acts like a deer a bit as well, he freezes when shocked or flashed with a bright light, gets very very distracted at lights in general (like a deer in headlights).
Medkit would impulsively sneak into gardens and eat the crops with his meddeer family, which pest control (ban hammer) would get called and would nudge them out with his big ass hammer. He also gets frightened VERY easily, like a twig snapping would make him dash for cover, obviously due to PHIGHTS he’s moved a bit pass this but he’s still a bit jumpy at sudden noises..
Medkit, (Yes This is Medbox, but you can interpret this as any of your favourite ships) when faced with introducing parents was a bit uh……… awkward I suppose?? An interaction would go like this: Medkit: These are my parents. Meddeermom: … Meddeerdad: … Boombox: What the fuck Medkit: ?? What’s the matter? Boombox: When you said your parents were meddeers, I thought you were joking. Medkit: When have I ever joked about this. Boombox: I DON’T KNOW??????? WHY ARE YOUR PARENTS PHUCKING DEERS Medkit:I do not understand the problem.
Meddeers and their development heavily depends on what they eat, their diet mostly is made up of herbs and crops from residences gardens. Sometimes, the green matter that they are consuming may be infested or diseased. When consumed constantly, they have the ch*nce of developing malformations and deformities throughout their development. This can be in a range from horn discolouration or abnormal patterns within their fur. In a rare case that was recently documented, a new species of Meddeer had been discovered after they had consumed high amounts of radiation.
Medkit, from a distance, literally just looks like a fucking deer. Like actually. Normal civilians/demons have called animal control for a “roaming meddeer” and ban hammer has had to explain;
“No, it’s just a regular phighter.”
(Yes, ban hammer is the animal control) to the point where people have just recognised medkit and been explaining around “No, that’s a fighter who looks like a meddeer!” Of course, it’s just a coincidence his name is medkit. These calls highly disturb medkit and he got sick of them so fast to where he had to walk around with a friend in order to look less ‘suspicious’. However, this does not stop medkit from doing his impulsive deer behaivors.
