"You are right to be upset. I have failed in my duties, and thus have been deemed 'no longer worthy of my status,' and any angel that falls from grace is, by definition, a demon. I wish I did not have to touch you to save your life. To be touched by a demon... such shame is enough to kill a man on its own. I am sorry. I did not consider my decommissioning when I attempted to save you."
Hearthstone pauses for a moment before signing. " Its okay. I have been graced by the touch of way worse beings. It isn't a shame I shall have, but an honor a 'demon' would save a person. "
It seems to be processing the statement. "Yes. That is an equally valid way to view it. I should not have attempted to impose my views onto you. Here, have this..." it reaches to a slot in its chest and waits for a moment. Nothing happens. "It appears my ticket printer is out of parchment. They likely removed it due to my decommissioning. I don't believe it would be of much use to you anyway without a commissary to receive items from."
Hearthstone bows gracefully. "I owe you my life. I am in your debt. "

It loads him into the machine, which injects him with anesthesia and begins to cut him open, applying radiant energy to heal individual internal wounds before closing him up and applying more energy to close the opening. It's an auto-doc.
Healing: 56
All the wounds heal as Hearthstone slowly wakes up. When he sees that he's in a machine he panics.
The angel pries the autodoc open, letting the healed Hearthstone out. Its own body is mostly healed at this point.
Hearthstone stagers out signing rapidly, "Who are you, why am I here? "
He signs back "I'm Isaac. As for why you're here, I don't know"

So spend your hours on What you think I've done wrong I know I'm in your mind I've been here way too long I want to spend my life With those who've done me right Your heart is frozen over I'm a four-leaf clover
*He's a chef, as usual. But he's a failure at the one job he was supposed to have. See, he used to be a normal three Michelin star chef whose job was teaching mechanical cooks in New Babylon. He ****ed himself after they got so good he couldn't tell their dishes from his own.*
*And so the government robcopped him. They turned him into a giant cyborg angel chef who was then tasked with recreating Ambrosia.*
*He failed, so they dumped him off their floating city.*
*That sounds like some some Guilty Gear crazy bull to me. I assume this character has some kind of connection to Potemkin, possibly to Johnny as well? Either way it's very cool. I would try to make a Guilty Gear fan character but I don't think I'm creative enough for it.*
*Oh, I know like nothing about Guilty Gear. I pretty much just know Faust and a little bit about Potemkin and Bedman. And Happy Chaos, but I'm not really a fan of him.*
*I had to build this character using my own lore, mostly.*

You may feel alright now, but a near-death experience can cause severe mental trauma, even if you've experienced it before."

Two people sit in the tavern, one seems to be just a high schooler and the other a hardened man. The man is shuffling a deck of cards absentmindedly, looking around the bar, his beard scruffy and unkempt. He looks like he works as a miner, his clothes and body covered in coal dust, his breathing strangely practiced, his muscles bulging. The high schooler is wearing their white school uniform, their muscles a comparable size to the miner's although not as large and compact, a metal bat of their shoulder, as well as their school jacket on their shoulders. The miner seems Caribbean in origin and the high schooler Japanese. *My latest stand user characters I might use.*

The angel gently lifts Hearthstone, bringing him to the Lord's Rest inn. It sets Hearth down in the most comfortable chair it can find. "As I am not an official anymore, I will use gold to pay for your care." It moves near-silently, leaving momentarily before returning with a stiff drink, a soda, a glass of water, crackers, and several hand pies, setting them all on the table. "I am unused to the cuisine, drinks, and cultural preferences of this city... no, area, so I purchased what seemed to be best for your size and level of exertion. Please eat slowly. Your stomach may be upset after your battle."

HE gets barely an a foot from them before talking, "Nice garden"
he raises his plush to defend from the oncoming blow
Theren jumps, startled. "O-oh thanks."
Hearthstone casts shield, making a magical shield block the blow.
