ReNexus
Hello everyone! Mentioned in the recent version of Sun Wukong and Macaque with MK's Parent, I said something about a procedure. One where MK now shares the Digicore of his Lopmon partner, Medi. We're talking about it here.
ReNexus is a very rare medical procedure that consists of a Digimon sharing their Digicore with a human. Digicores are essentially the heart and soul of a Digimon, something that can put both parties in danger if done wrong. ReNexus can only be performed under one specific reason, the human patient must be dying.
Whether it be by lethal injuries or deadly illness, being near death is the only way for it to happen. The Digimon 'donor' will have small harmless sized pieces of their Digicore taken out and embedded in the person's body. Where will it be placed depends on the patient's medical condition. Any injury based incidents will be at the center of the patient's chest.
For MK, they were placed in his heart as its frailty would soon kill him. If the patient in question is a type of Tamer, then their partner Digimon usually the donor cause the bond between boasts strong compatibility alongside the chance of it being a success. If not, then it'll be a Digimon whose personality or element would match. EX: Free spirited patients have better compatibility with wind element Digimon.
There are side effects once ReNexus is fully completed and the patient begins to recover. Common one is slight changes in their appearance. They'll gain physical traits based off the Digicore of their donor.
This can range from claws, horns, ears, tails, fangs, scales, fur, feathers, or even wings. Mainly depends on the Digimon donor in question. For MK, the horns, ears and markings of his Lopmon Medi. These changes can be hidden with a simple thought but it'll take practice. A reason why a small device capable of doing the same thing is usually given cause some traits aren't easily covered up by clothing.
Some rarer side effects for post ReNexus patients are the ability to use elements and in even rarer cases, the moves of the Digimon donor. If the Digicore pieces came from an Agumon, then the human could gain minor pyrokinesis or even use Agumon's signature Pepper Breath attack. (Pepper Breath is spitting out a medium sized fireball, not actually peppers lol.)
ReNexus does have a chance of causing a side effect for the Digicore donor. This is being unable to digivolve whether completely or at certain stages. The reason being that the human they donated their core have become a requirement for Digivolution now. This type of Digivolution where Digimon and human merge together is called Biomerge.
Despite this being a minor inconvenience, Biomerge between ReNexus patient and their Digimon donor make the next stage much stronger than without it. EX: Champion Level Digimon being able to fight almost equally with Ultimate.
(Digimon stages for those not well-versed when it comes to this franchise, from beginning to end. Fresh/Newborn, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, Mega, and Ultra. Armor Digivolution is completely separate with the power range being more sporadic compared to normal route.)
You'll be seeing ReNexus in other headcanons and fanfiction. When it does, I'll put the link to this blog page on it.
All you guys can also try your hand at this as well! I like to see the creativity and potential world building everyone can do with this. Next headcanon for Sun Wukong and Macaque with MK's Parent will be coming up alongside a few others.
That's it for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you later!
