It Seems Almost Strange For Ifa To Have A Moment Of Repose. The Trauma Of The Abyssal War Still Weighing

Ifa primarily practices veterinary medicine and studies zoology, but he does know triage care for humans. One might think these medicines have overlap in care and treatment, but the biology of different species are different from one another, let alone humans, and therefore Ifa cannot diagnose or treat humans because he hasn't study the biology. However, he does know triage care i.e emergency medicine and knows skills what a paramedic might know, like ABCs, (airway, breathing, circulation) and he knows how to keep someone from dying, to keep them stable enough for another physician to come in and properly treat and cure.

In his main verse, Ifa's magic can only heal dragonkind and magical creatures, but his magic cannot completely cure and treat major and critical illness, so he still needs to practice the medicine he's learned. Unfortunately, his magic cannot heal humanity, a clause of his magic from generations of magical veterinarians. The above headcanon fits here where he knows triage and emergency medicine.   

In his genpact verse, Ifa only treats saurians and deferred warriors of the clans to Chuychu, but when she passed, the clans were down a physician during a war and desperate times called for desperate measures. He learned triage and MASH care on the spot and treated saurians and Natlan warriors. After the war, Ifa changed the sign outside his clinic, stating he'll try his best in his care of saurians and humans alike. People who have dragon biology and or appear in a humanoid form with draconic features, like Ororon and Neuvillette, yes, Ifa can treat them beyond emergency care. 

In his hsr verse, it's hard to be a vet in space when every planet and star system has it's own ecology, biology, and species, so Ifa is a regular doctor. This headcanon doesn't apply in this verse. 

hear me out. halovian ifa.

Ifa watches how the outlander gently handles the baby saurian and he listens to how Kaeya speaks to the small Iktomisaurus with consideration and respect.

It pleasantly surprises the saurian vet and a small smile spreads across his dark features; Ifa knows an opportunity when he sees one. 

The Tlalocan moves in closer, offering the saurian in Kaeya's arms the cracker and he draws the needle closer to the tiny Iktomisarus' thigh. Ifa pushes back the soft dew feathers of the baby dragon and with a quick yet steady focus he administers the intramuscular injection. The Iktomisarus flaps its small wings with sad little hoos and Ifa draws the syringe back. He raises his gloved hand to the Iktomisarus' head and soothes it with a light pet and gentle smile. 

❝ There we go, all done. You're so good, little gal. ❞ Ifa discards the used syringe in it's proper sharps container and looks to Kaeya, easily impressed by how the calvary captain manages the baby saurian, but also … he talks funny. 

“The heck are you on about, bro? Chill, bro.” Cacucu squawks out bluntly, flapping his little wings by Ifa's head. 

 ❝ Yeah, man. You talk a'lotta game, but we're done yet. Think you can handle a few more. I owe you big time. ❞ Ifa chuckles with a small smile. He appreciates Kaeya's assistance. 

   ' Aye aye, Mr.-Vet-Who-Dislikes-Fooling-Around. Fine, I'll help. But you seem to have the situation under control already, ' Kaeya exhales a sigh of fake exasperation, clearly unwilling to part with his very cute, very warm hat who seems to have taken an interest in him. In fact, while well-behaved, the other Iktomisaurus seem to have noticed him, eyeing him with questions in their big eyes. But it seems like the reward is delicious crackers to munch on, so they stay well in line.

   The one in his arms, however, makes a small squeak of alarm at the sight of the syringe.

   ' Aaah, I get it. ' He's solemnly nodding at the poor baby as he presses in the blue-ish fur of his cape. ' I know, look at that. Seems like a big deal, eh? But it'll prickle for just a moment, our dear vet will make sure that it only stings for a very small time. And then... '

   Ah, look at this. Mischief written all over his face as he looks at Ifa, the cavalry captain slowly carries the now-more-agreeable saurus towards the vaccination point.

   ' ...And then, you can start haggling on how many delicious crackers you want to keep your silence. Start with two and half, and make sure to get to five to really dig the point in that you can't be easily bribed. Or, well, you can be bribed... ' He stops for a moment, considering something inane. ' But master vet is exiting this deal dry. Oh yes, he is. '

   It doesn't help that the little Iktomisaurus group are now looking directly at ifa. The babies are craving the honey-flavored sweets, bro.

@ifadoc sent: “Don’t shoot the messenger, Granny.” Ifa holds up his hands to Citlali, knowing she’s about to erupt with temper. Ifa honestly tries his best to stay out of familial disputes, but it’s a little hard when Ororon sends Ifa as his delivery person and learns firsthand that Ororon has been avoiding her for a reasons, avoiding a lecture. Either way, Ifa ends up in the middle of it and can only nod his head, listening to the elder. “I’ll make sure to scold him an’ grab ‘em by his nose, for real.” Ifa jokes as he lifts the heavy basket of fresh produce and carries it into Citlali’s home. “Oh, I also threw in some fruits and jerky for you, Granny.”

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫 vibrating with anger around her ... the youth these days! "Do you really think I'm just going to let this slide?" Citlali scoffed, arms crossing over her chest as she looked up at the said 'messenger'. "You know, Ifa, you're just as bad as Ororon. How many times are you going to come all the way over here to our tribe on his behalf? You're just enabling his behavior!"

Even despite her height, Citlali waited for the vet to set down the produce in her home. It wasn't like she was going to turn down the free goods. However, it was far from enough to get Ifa out of this predicament. "Hold up, young man," She remarked, "I can't be bribed with food." Her annoyance was only growing the more she thought about Ororon's avoidance. When would he learn to take accountability?

"Since Ororon is going to stay in hiding, you're going to have a seat right there," The woman pointed to the table nearby, brows creasing as she somewhat pouted in her expression. "Do you really call yourself an adult by allowing Ororon to flounce around like he's still a rebellious teenager? You're supposed to be setting an example for him as his elder! Honestly—how long does it take you kids to learn what responsibility is? Frankly, Ifa, I'm disappointed in you. For starters—"

She then proceeded to lecture him for the next forty-five minutes.

Strong arms cross over the vet's ample chest and Kaeya's words, teasing as they were, did not ease Ifa's worries. In fact, he rethinks his decision and shakes his head; as obedient and capable as Cacucu is, he's easily influenced, especially by troublemakers and Kaeya … 

❝ Y'know what, lets all go together. ❞ Ifa can finish writing in these medical journals later. He throws on his long jacket and Cacucu flaps happier, laughing. 

❝ No, I'm not jealous. I'm not like you, Cacucu. It's bad banners to let guests pick up errands and make 'em work. ❞ Ifa shakes his head and brings a basket with him for the groceries they'll pick up. 

❝ That sounds like quite a list. Are you trying to bake something? ❞

   ' Ah, are you sure you want to part from your companion just to make me feel safer? You're living up to your nice reputation, Ifa. ' Despite the joke in his voice, he's flattered. Cacucu can be a terrific support fluffball. He feels very supported already!' Alright, we'll be on our way then- remind me, what do we need to bring back? Grainfruits, berries, some flour...? '

Assassination attempt 24, Sesame is on the prowl. He scoots through the darkness with the utmost precision with the pace enviable by even the most quick and elusive of lions and beasts and creatures and birds. The time was nigh and so was the doctor man's demise. Paw beans fly with the quickness, smacking feet and legs before he pounces and chomps him right on the knee.

It wouldn't be the first time Ifa was bitten and scratched at, the scar upon his left eye and forearm as proof of that. Still, he jumps and groans from the bite to his knee, looking down to see what's angry at him now and there he finds the stray cat he's recently befriended. A feisty one and prone to these violent outbursts as a way to gain attention and affection. 

❝ Dude! C'mon! I thought we were bros! ❞ Ifa pets Sesame's head, trying to coax the cat to release it's fang grip on his knee. 

8. What features does your muse share with their parents? Have they inherited anything prominent or notable, like hair colour?

Details of a Muse

Ifa prominently looks like his father (even resembling his ancestor; the vet family genes strong i.e the albino hair, the height, and teal eyes) but Ifa has the personality and temperament of his mother.

She was a Qucusaur flight instructor and saurian trainer who could connect and calm any saurian. When she married, she became assistant to her husband’s clinic and eventually became a vet herself. She was multitalented with saurians and taught Ifa how saurians are like children and are the future. The medical satchel Ifa uses and carries belonged to his mother.

From his father, Ifa has quite a record of medical knowledge. His father was very good at records and had a library for saurian medicine. Ifa’s medical journaling are also quite detailed. Their handwriting are almost identical!

From 1 to 7 for the question meme + Sam Bonus: if you have a question you're less interested in you can answer any other number instead :B WILD CARD

Details of a Muse

1. What does your muse usually smell like? Do they use colognes, body sprays or perfumes? Are they clean-smelling, or dirty? Answered.

2. What are your muse’s eyes like? What shape and colour are they, how long are their eyelashes? What are the qualities of their eyebrows?

Ifa's eyes are teal i.e light greenish-blue and has diamond shape iris. There's also some orange, which is the anime effect, but I think in our world would be something of hazel eyes. He's a tired healthcare worker and carries with him the trauma of the abyssal war so there's a color of exhaustion in his eyes, a dark ring under his eyes. His resting face can give off stern or unfeeling, unapproachable, but Ifa is anything of the sort. His eyelashes are unremarkable, nothing different or unique, and his eyes brows are all unremarkable, same shade as his hair.

3. What are your muse’s hands like? What is the texture of their palms, how are their fingers shaped, do they clean or cut their nails? Answered.

4. What is your muse’s torso area like? How wide are their shoulders, how large is their chest, do they have notable abs or a tummy?

Ifa is toned and defined in his chest and torso, he's pretty athletic. He has wide shoulders and slim waist (nothing like Boothill or Kaeya level) and has the dorito shoulder to waist ratio. He's doesn't really have noticeable abs, but feeling the muscles of his tummy or chest is pretty firm and very nice. 10/10.

5. What is your muse’s nose like? Is it large, small, button-shaped, or crooked? Are their nostrils large or small?

Unremarkable, neither large, small, button-shaped or crooked. Average looking nose.

6. Does your muse have any scars? What are their qualities, how do they feel to touch, where did they come from? Are they permanent, or will they fade?

Oh yes! Ifa's has scars on both his forearms (the right glove covers it) and has a scar on his left eye. He also has a few on his back and several bite marks on his sides and forearms. All from saurians who were scared and defending themselves because they're sick, hurt, or weak. The scar on his left eye is the oldest scar and he was clawed at as a teenager from his father's qucusaur who was infected by the abyss and became outwardly aggressive and crazed. It did not recognize Ifa or even it's own rider. Ifa's father had no choice but to end his saurian's suffering.

How tall is your muse and how much do they weigh? Are they built, muscular, fat, or skinny? Do they have much control over how they appear?

He is the same heigh as Wriothesley and I'll meet anybody in the pit who wants to debate me on that lmao. Ifa is 6ft 4inches tall and weighs average for an athletic, fit 30 y.o old man who is 193cm tall. Ifa has plenty control of his appearance.

“Seriously bro?” Cacucu lands on Kaeya's head, fluffs up, and makes himself cozy. Yes, perfect. They can nap together.
