Paprika was created by John Doe and his team of chemists. Adding hallucinogens that specifically target the aggressive part of the brain, the amydala, the otherwise euphoric spice was turned into something far worse than it originally was. Upon ingestion, the user is chemically forced into a state of aggression, hallucinating that he or she is under attack. Violent outbursts then follow, done so in a brutal manner. Paprika can turn the user into a fueled berserker, giving even a weaker being almost inhuman strength and endurance. Hallucinations also tend to cause self-harm, as the body is overexerted, causing muscle damage as one under the influence of the substance thinks that he or she is invincible. Upon wearing off, the user's body is sent into a state of shock as the brain processes the amount of damage inflicted to the body and the carnage that just ensued. A version of Paprika that contains a milder hallucinogen can be used as a source of energy in combat, temporarily deadening the nerves, leaving the user unable to feel pain, and granting them a sense of focus and euphoria. Prolonged usage of either variants tends to cause long-term damage to the amygdala, making it harder for the addict to control his or her emotions and making them more prone to explosive outbursts.
