Alacrihype Fruit Sodaâ„¢ Originally posted by @PrivateNomad Name of Aug/Tech: Alacrihype Fruit Sodaâ„¢ Description: Alacrihype Fruit Sodaâ„¢ is found in a standard aluminum 12 oz can; the label features big, blue, lightning-style letters saying ALACRIHYPEâ„¢ over it, as well as a cyan and yellow splash background. The drink itself fizzes massively from the amount of carbonation in the beverage (as well as the reacting byproducts of the drink), and appears to be a clear purple color much like any other soda. It tastes like a sort of carbonated fruit punch soda and is quite tasty. History of Aug/Tech: Alacrihype Fruit Sodaâ„¢ was not originally a soda, but a drug stimulant that was being tested in AkCorp's organic chemistry labs. The main chemical constituent, Hypalimene, is an organic macromolecule with similar but enhanced properties to caffeine, acting as a more concentrated yet safer (to an extent) substitute. AkCorp then diluted Hypalimene along with other trace chemicals into a fruit punch beverage, designed originally as 'gamer fuel' (civilian grade Alacrihypeâ„¢ . Banned in most ESports.) However, recently the beverage has been tested and enhanced with increased dosing to actually find military use (military grade Alacrihypeâ„¢), and has recently been placed in AkCorp's main production lines. How does it work?: Alacrihype Fruit Sodaâ„¢ works primarily by the Hypalimene in the substance paired with other carrier chemicals. When Alacrihypeâ„¢ is consumed, usually in the dosage of one 12 oz can, the Hypalimene quickly works itself into the blood in a matter of seconds and is carried to the brain, where it acts as a stimulant to both reaction time and thought process. Testing has shown that after using Alacrihypeâ„¢, a period of a ten-minute 'hype period' is shown where the user is hypersensitive to stimuli in their environment, especially in combat. It has been tested possible for a user to even have the reaction time necessary to dodge a bullet through observation of the gun barrel; it has also been tested that in this hype period, it is possible for a gamer to pull of a ten key ability combination in a little over a mere second! Users of Alacrihypeâ„¢ find themselves quickly alert and can easily respond to incoming attacks, both virtual and not. After the hype period is appropriately named the 'restless period' where the drug wears to where it is similar to caffeine; this period lasts approximately five hours, and the user will feel awake and alert just as if they drank an ordinary energy drink. The last stage, however, is what we prefer to not advertise directly. This stage is called the 'relapse stage' which occurs two more hours after the restless period. In this stage the body is recovering from the increased adrenaline intake and is worn out; the user feels tired yet completely unable to sleep and often times they will experience nausea that will lead to possible vomiting. In this stage, hopefully they won't have to do anything, since their reaction time is actually slowed down by a whole half-second. Effects will only increase from multiple servings of Alacrihypeâ„¢. It is also mildly addicting. Constant use of Alacrihypeâ„¢ is dangerous. As the Hypalimene is active, the user's heart rate will increase. Multiple servings a day will severely increase the negative effects of the relapse period, and multiple servings of Alacrihypeâ„¢ at one time can lead to temporary paranoia, hypersensitivity, and even heart attack. Intended use: Profits, of course. But also increased reaction time, etc. Strengths: - Immensely increases reaction time - Gives an awakened, confident feeling - Tastes great! Weaknesses: - Restlessness - The mango flavor seems to dominate a little bit - Nausea in relapse stage - Decreased reaction time in relapse stage - Increased effects with multiple uses, including chance of a heart attack. - Mildly addicting. How do you believe this will assist in benefiting roleplay?: Offers alternative ways to increase someone's reaction time, or simply serves as a beverage for video game fanatics. Attainability: Semi-Open: Civilian grade Alacrihypeâ„¢ has little combat use to affect anything directly, and costs 15 Osidains and is generally available in many vending machines and shops. Military grade Alacrihypeâ„¢ goes for around 60 Osidains a can and must be bought in bulk from AkCorp; the only other places you will find it Military Grade are individual sellers, usually very shady people.
