Subdermal Armour

A group of very invasive augmentations done to lend natural 'armour'. They largely resist impacts from blunt objects, but can also be used to resist stabbing (although weak against slashing) in some vital areas, depending on the nature of the implant.

Major mechanisms include: Kinetic Dampening, using a dilatant, or shear-thickening non-Newtonian substance, to dissipate kinetic energy under sudden force. Thin packs are placed under the skin; under light touch they deform like a liquid, however under stress the viscosity increases and the patches become rigid.

-Resists internal damage that might result from blunt impacts or stabs.

-Lends natural light-weight impact armour without having to wear anything bulky.
