❝ It’s burned on your skin… A barcode never lies . ❞
independent canon divergent prompto argentum. spoilers inside.
PROMPTO’S HEALTH. emperor verse.
physical activity and training actually assists with his affliction, as the stronger his body is the harder it can fight against the virus. in the crownsverse, prompto is not a fighter and is relegated to the court and war tables, he can shoot and aim like no one’s business but he has limited combat experience. meaning he’s physically weaker than he is in canon. his survival is reliant on scientific advances and sheer force of will to spite the gods.
side effects manifest in a few different ways.
- prompto doesn’t really catch colds. they just weaken his system and the scourge ramps up.
- weak lungs, corroded by miasma. prompto can’t effectively fight off most viruses and his lungs get hit the hardest. prompto can run forever when he’s not sick, but during bad flareups he can’t exert himself without becoming light headed or passing out.
- cysts and ulcers in his intestines and stomach.
- bruising easily, issues clotting. internal bleeding can be an issue.
- difficulty regulating temperature.
- shortened lifespan. at minimum he’ll make it to his early thirties. at latest, fifty.
- sterility.
- coughing up smogs of miasma and congealed plague. it’s pretty gross.
hi’m falling asleep, but.
verstael may grow to care for his son in any au where he didn’t immediately start fucking around with miasma and daemons. he was never a good person, but he wasn’t a monster until hue completely lost sight of himself in favor of his lust for power.
even if he loves prompto, he still holds his ideals higher than he holds his son. prompto is a pawn to him.
verstael makes a concerted effort to stabilize prompto and the rest of the project for his own selfish means. he’s already pretty far gone by the time it makes it to creating prompto as he’d been experimenting on adults and numbing himself to the horrors of that for some time. prom’s biological connection to him doesn’t make him any less a failure, and in truth verstael would’ve considered it a mercy to put the child down than to let him live and suffer.
but ardyn got attached. so ardyn got to keep him.
he doesn’t care for prompto, he does care for ardyn. keeping prompto alive was a favor to him, as was keeping him stable and developing methods to prolong his life.
hell, even in the emperor au he probably advised ardyn to “put him down” when prompto never developed the strength to actually fight the illness, and advocated for letting him go whenever he took a turn for the worse. there were definite offers of making a more stable one. but ardyn cared, so ardyn got his way.
i don’t think verstael really gives a shit about anything but his research and ardyn. and even ardyn falls to the wayside when he finally loses what little of himself he had left.
tbh, ardyn is the caring parent.
verstael is the one that slowly chips away at prompto’s sense of self and self-worth and trades him away the second it benefits him
