Yeah, in Ren'py games usually it's character_health=100 or something.

Yes absolutely, the parameter even if not in a strongly typed language should be a specific number and the unit should be implied. Overload the method to support different units if necessary or provide a unit as an additional parameter instead of forcing the method to parse the string for any unit type hints that may or may not be there
