Yujin: The Gruff Medic
Yujin, a doctor at Albion's only civilian hospital, found himself serving as a medic on the battlefield, where life always hangs in the balance, all because of his mother. After declaring her own intent to serve as a medic, she also submitted an application to HQ on his behalf. Yujin wanted to scream in frustration over his enlistment, which was decided upon without his consent. Given his nature as being particularly lazy and quick-tempered, he was hardly the type to embrace military life earnestly. His mother always disapproved of this about her son, which often led to countless arguments. It would get to the point where even Medical Corps Captain Gley would throw her hands up in resignation while trying to mediate.
"Then you treat 'em, mom. Nothing I do seems to satisfy you anyway. I don't see why I should bother saving those who have no hope. I'm not sure why I have to make that much of an effort!"
As soon as Yujin finished speaking, he was met with a hard slap. "Because you're a doctor! It's your job to save people until the very end!" Just as he was about to respond, his mother hurried away upon hearing news of Vespers force casualties flooding in. After the argument and the slap, Yujin was initially silent but soon felt overwhelmed with regret when his anger faded. He decided he would apologize when his mother returned. However, he learned that his mother, as well as the medical unit members, had become casualties as well and rushed out to the battlefield.
He didn't want to live the rest of his life without apologizing. Despite their daily quarrels, he loved his mother dearly. Losing her was unimaginable. When Yujin reached the battlefield, he found his mother on the verge of death. He sobbed uncontrollably and begged her to hold on, saying that he'd treat her right away. Through this, his mother imparts her final words to him.
"My child, I know it's hard on you… Still, you must do all you can for your patients… until their last moments."
After leaving these last words, Yujin's mother passed away. Yujin stayed up all night crying the night he wrote up the report that all except those who were kidnapped by the Vulgus had died, including his mother, who had died in his arms. He vowed never to give up on those who wished to live. This vow was tested when his commander, Gley, returned after being missing for 100 days. She had been used as a Vulgus experiment and was struggling wildly. Yujin, in the process of physically restraining her, sustained four broken ribs. Yet, he didn't give up. Holding Gley's blood-soaked hand, he asserted, "Commander! We're the Medical Corps. We can't give up until the very end!" At his words, Gley calmed down, and Yujin's warm Arche filled the walls of the closed ward. Driven by his intense desire to save a life, his healing capabilities reached their full potential in that moment.
Exclusive Arche, Cellular Regeneration Boost Factor Generator
Depending on a Descendant's own Arche, it is common for normal Arche to increase abilities or immunity. But Yujin's Arche had no effect on him at all. The healing mechanism in Yujin's Arche only applied to other people. The Arche was of no help to him. Everyone in the testing lab fell silent for a moment. Yujin was the first to open his mouth. Casually joking this was the reason why he was delicate, he said since he was a doctor, it naturally made sense. However, since he absolutely hated being bothered, Yujin requested the healing device be developed so that he would be bothered less.
"If the equipment is a hassle to use, I'm gonna throw it away."
