OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
As Project OPHION continued to develop new enhancements for Spaarti Creations, Ce Perlo tasked some of her scientists studying the effects of radiation on different cloned lifeforms to create something a little more unique and more protective in nature. Ce's thoughts were twofold: to develop something that could grant almost complete immunity to radiation for workers in hazardous environments and soldiers that may end up being attacked with radiation based weaponry. To that end, the researchers at Spaarti developed the Latona Protective Enhancement.
The Latona Enhancement is a genetic treatment that introduces modified melanin and melanocytes, based originally on sample taken from the subject, into the subject's body and replaces all of their pre-existing melanocytes and melanin with the improved cells throughout the entire epidermis. The new cells have had their ability to absorb and release radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing, into small amounts of harmless heat that their bodies emit naturally significantly advanced to the point where only prolonged exposure in highly concentrated areas will even begin to break through the new genetic shield that is their skin.
The side effects, in comparison to some of their other work in Project OPHION, was relatively minimal and barely made a blip on the treatment's approval by Ce and Taeli Raaf for both commercial and military purposes.
- Intent: To develop a bio-enhancement that vastly improves a subject's resistance to radiation
- Image Source: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Name: Latona Protective Enhancement
- Manufacturer: Spaarti Creations
- Affiliation: Spaarti Creations, Primo Victorian, Closed-Market
- Homeworld (optional): Cartao
Production: Minor-production
- Modularity: No modularity
- Legal Status: As of the moment, there are no laws against this particular enhancement and there likely won't be
- Ingredients: Genetically modified and hardened melanin and melanocytes created with the subject's own genetic material
- Classification: Biological Enhancement
- Method of Consumption: Implantation through a singular genetic manipulation treatment
- Average Life: Indefinite
- Nutritional Value/Allergies/Side Effects/ Purpose: The enhancement does not have any nutritional value, but side effects until the body adapts to the new cells range from rash, itching, temporary hair loss, flushed skin, and increased sensitivity to cold. Eye color will occasionally deepen or change, depending on other pre-existing genetics.
- Through the introduction of modified melanin fibers into melansomes and genetically modified melanocytes to replace the subject's existing melanin producing cells, the treatment alters the subject's epidermis to toughen it against all ionizing and non-ionizing radiations found on the electromagnetic spectrum.
- The Latona Enhancement is designed to grant the user almost complete immunity to all ionizing and non-ionizing radiation they might be subjected to by significantly enhancing the melanin in their bodies' ability to absorb the harmful radiation and release it as small amounts of harmless heat. Gamma rays, ultraviolet, infrared, all radiations on the spectrum are included.
- While it is always inadvisable to walk into radioactive environments, subjects treated with the Latona Enhancement can withstand hours of exposure within a highly contaminated area before suffering any effects of radiation poisoning, making it ideal for workers near reactors, power plants, and so on.
- If the subject finds themselves in a hot environment, they will overheat far more easily, leading to the development of heat stroke and other medical conditions such as that.
- Because the subject is essentially immune to radiation, including UV light, they will require vitamin D supplements or they will develop a severe deficiency and other medical issues.
