Combat Aid
No one ever wants to end up in a life or death struggle, casting desperately around for anything, any tool, any old bit of information, any bit of personal strength that can be dredged up from the depth of their being to survive…
Unfortunately, as the world shifts and changes, some of us may have less choice in the matter if we wish to survive.
The Combat Aid item is designed to do one thing: Get you through a life or death struggle.
It is not designed to make you more proficient at Kata or sparring, or to help you win a “slap boxing” match with your brother at the family picnic! It is meant to give you access to skills and a singular combative state of being in dire emergency.
It is also not truly geared towards simple survival. (If that were the case, most of the time you would, and should, simply run away, that being the single most successful survival tactic.) It is geared towards the concept of total combat. Fighting with everything you have, using any trick you can muster, to destroy an attacker at a moments notice.
This item is incredibly complex, and many of the fields would not make sense to most people. Here is an overview of what you will get however.
(Please note that all of these are combat activated, and very strong. These effects will work themselves deeply into your psyche and suddenly “spring” out when needed, in an attack or fighting situation. DO NOT WEAR THIS ITEM WHILE SPARRING OR PRACTICING!)
Specific Fields Carried by This Item
Pain control: At the point of activation, almost all sense of pain will vanish. Any remaining pain will be placed on a mental “back burner” allowing you to fight well past the time others would be finished if needed.
*You will not feel it if you are solidly connecting blows or applying enough pressure with chokes and locks. Be alert for the sound of breaking bones in your opponent if you wish to stop short of lethal damage.
Immediate action : When a threat presents itself, you will begin your physical response almost a full second before your conscious mind can catch up. This gives you a large jump on an attacker, who will not expect a response anywhere near that fast.
*I have tried to create a field that will allow you to respond only to real threats. However, there is a fine line between someone “playing” at attacking you and someone doing it. This information will be filtered through your own subconscious perceptions. This means at times, if you are not careful and watchful, you may find yourself striking a person that made aggressive movements, without aggressive intent on their part. Please be watchful of this kind of thing so your subconscious mind will control for it at the time.
Specified attack points: This item will, at the point of attack, cause you to strike out at the bodies most vulnerable areas, eyes, throat, groin, knees, back of the head and so on. These will present as repeated movements, taking advantage of the situation for greatest effectiveness.
*Most people have been taught to avoid these areas of attack, through sports, television and even martial arts training! This will not hold in a fight however, not while in possession of the Combat Aid item.
Embedded movements: If you are a martial artist or fighter of some kind, this items field sets will allow you to move in your trained pattern, at a higher level of proficiency than adrenalin normally allows. For those with no particular training or those to far out of current practice, this item has over a dozen punches, three basic (but effective) kicks and five different throws, complete with a small template that can cause situation appropriate variation.
*Given the nature of the attacks you will find yourself launching without conscious volition, you will likely never see all of these movements. People will tend to be taken out of the equation to quickly.
Basic Weapons Skill: This is a simple template, allowing you to pick up almost any object and use it as a weapon.
You will also use anything as a weapon that you can when attacked. This can place you at liability for lethal force, so again, be watchful of your environment to prevent an accidental “misfire”.
This item is not a toy or a curiosity. If you are wearing it during a violent attack or confrontation, your responses will be largely out of your control, immediate and geared towards stopping your attacker as rapidly as possible. If this object were to be ripped off during an attack, your system will still remain keyed towards the pre-programmed responses until some days after the event. At that point (about three to five days later) you will either need to start wearing the item again, or replace it if lost.
Obviously, this is not designed for bar fights or getting “revenge” on the local bully! Please use it with the utmost responsibility.
