Capabilities[]

The user can tap into a raw, primal state of mind where all traces of rational thought and restraint are completely discarded, replaced by pure instinct and aggression. In this state, they are consumed by an overwhelming surge of fury, unleashing an unstoppable rage that fuels their every action. Their strength, speed, and endurance skyrocket beyond their natural limits, allowing them to fight with unparalleled ferocity and relentless force. Pain becomes meaningless, hesitation vanishes, and any limits that would normally bind them are cast aside. They become an unstoppable force of destruction, taking and inflicting damage far beyond their usual capacity.

Fueled by raw emotion and adrenaline, the user fights without caution or strategy, their movements unpredictable and guided only by pure instinct. Reflexes become razor-sharp, and their body reacts with terrifying efficiency—dodging, countering, and attacking in a brutal, primal dance. Strength and endurance surge, enabling them to keep fighting even when mortally wounded. Fatigue and injury are disregarded, and their only drive is to dominate and annihilate everything in their path.

However, as the user sinks deeper into this state, their mind becomes consumed by feral rage. Higher reasoning, language, and memory begin to fade, replaced by explosive aggression and animalistic behavior. They may snarl, growl, or roar like a beast, their movements becoming wild but still brutally effective. Friends and foes blur together in their frenzy, making them as dangerous to allies as they are to enemies. At its peak, the user becomes little more than a wild beast, driven solely by a need to destroy. The deeper they fall into this primal state, the more they lose their sense of identity, leaving only an uncontrollable force with no distinction between friend and foe.

This state is not just heightened combat ability—it is a descent into savagery. The user becomes a terrifying presence, their aura radiating an oppressive wave of violence and rage. At its most extreme, their control slips entirely, and the beast within takes over, becoming a force of pure destruction with no regard for anything or anyone, unable to be contained or reasoned with.
