[UA] Anyone here ever been pepper-sprayed?

[Hammons, Jade]

Then again, I've had a player in the past with a skill to ignore pepper-spray and other torturous things. It was named after his idol. 

Brass Balls like G. Gordon Liddy - 39%

He used it for everything from shrugging off pain, to masochistic intimidation methods. (The ever popular, "see how I roast the skin on my arm with this lighter without flinching? Now imagine my expression as I calmly reachy down your throat, grab you by your asshole and turn you inside out.")

Seeing as it was a willpower type skill, it was  placed under Soul. Technically I guess it could go under Body or Mind as well, just depending on how the resistance was defined. Thick skin, a zen-like rationalization and disassociation from the pain, or just battering down your own pain through force of personality.

The character was delusional and believed themselves to be a government/secret agent, though they would often change cover stories completely (failure on a self check).  It was that insanity on the self scale that was slowly pushing him towards Personamancy. he just need to break a couple more times before he could rebuild his paradigm.

A pity he had to move. I had planned at some future time to stick him in a room of renunciation: The Village.
