need would be kinda reluctant but she could be talked into this
Character name: Need Age (of physical body): readings are 404 ERROR; could be new as of this second, could be as old as her time in game, could be like reading water. General health: it's all kind of simulated but she does appear to be in her seventies and that's closely reflected. Quite a lot of scars and sinewy muscle, not much sign of tooth decay, exertion tires her out sooner than it would a Youth, there's some arthritis, she skips leg day. Any physical disabilities or medical conditions?: At the time of her death she considered herself "half crippled" due to the aforementioned arthritis and general fatigue. Pain doesn't bother her quite like it would if she was flesh and bone but her joints can only take so much stress before she has to rest and reset them. Can't run far or climb all that well; she can do either in a short burst but then pays for it.
One of the scars on her chest is still pink and kinda looks like something burning hot ran her right through, going through a lung and emerging from her back. It's not an open passage but. you can see it's not that it actually healed. Anything about their physiology that would be considered unusual by someone with a knowledge of human anatomy?: tbh in velgarth the more you understand about a body the less power it takes to Heal it. Need isn't all that powerful considering but she's the best Healer in the setting and when she knows how can evaluate people in a pretty similar way to all this and should be able to sense a lot of what he's doing. Also it's a lot of work for a spirit to take even a rough facsimile of a human body in the spirit world but her form there is 'as real as bread', so it's been a headcanon that she made a long and thorough study of the body which helped advance medical knowledge at the time, before her world's apocalypse.
so! Her body is an almost perfect simulation of a live human one down to having cells and if she breathed the whole time an ordinary hands on examination wouldn't find anything amiss until you got to taking samples. It's deliberately, exhaustively crafted from spirit matter, like an elaborate sculpture. No cells are dying, nothing is doing gas exchange or metabolizing. If she drinks water it gets moved around in her 'blood' and she can sweat, but she just sweats water and passes anything else undigested. Her nervous system is present and made of the right-seeming cells with the right-seeming consistency that conducts electricity but while signals traveling through nerves seem mostly right there's a distinctly performative aspect and her brain is Very Weird and not the seat of her consciousness.
Also the whole thing where if you take off a bit of her it comes apart into spirit particles that then drift off.
Would you prefer to play out or hand wave the examination? tbh it sounds like a good time Anything else I should know?: Need was assigned male at birth. I'm not actually interested in litigating those aspects of her body, I'll just say she's originally from a culture with different ideas about gender identity and is quite comfortable in her simulated skin.
