Legacy Power: Lotus III Augment - Pain Supression

The grim woman stands up off the man she just tackled, blood streaming from mutiple bullet wounds. Without a word, she proceeds to execute him as he begs for his life.

A 1 Gift Grit Power used by Amarjeet Inderpal, created by Strazhari.

Description

When taking the responsibility of a Close Protection Contract, Amarjeet will take any risk, suffer any injury, or endure any pain to see her client safe - up to & including throwing her own life away if needed.

This natural propensity is enhanced by her brain implants, flooding her body with endorphins, dampening nerve response, & even applying direct brain stimulation to "shock" her awake if needed.

This change in brain biochemistry may have unforeseen psychological side effects. Please consult with your Doctor before utilizing prototype cybernetics.
