HALO

Background Information
H.A.L.O. (Hallowed Astral Lineage Omen) is a new experimental science procedure recently discovered by Lockheed Martin. The procedure taps into a dormant segment of the Basal Ganglia called the Astral Gate to activate more of our primal brain. The project is so secret that outside of a few select members of Lockheed Martin no one knows of its existence. The procedure was copied from a Soviet facility. Their documentations talked about the technology being discovered after a micro black hole was opened by their Hadron Collider. The surgery consists of making the brain more receptive to the Astral Gate.

The Astral Signals help a person connect to his personal Astral Lineage. While Lockheed Martin is unsure of what an Astral Lineage is (the documents were not smuggled out) it is believed to be a connection to a persons ancestors and even themselves from different world lines. These are considered the strings that attach us to our material plane of existence.

Costs
To activate your Astral Gate costs fuel called Astral Points. The discovery of the Astral Gate requires a lot of inhumane experimentation and almost all of the early evidence has been destroyed to keep those crimes against humanity a secret. Soviet documentation talks about earning the justification of your lineage to use the powers they gift. They need to feel rewarded. For some people this is Heroic deeds for other its gaining reputation. Everyone's lineage demand's different tributes.

Using your Astral Gate also requires another payment. This is called the Astral Toll. It is believed that this comes from paying those of different world lines for their strength. Usually these have a negative effect on ones life. They are similar to addictions, after you use your powers you crave your AT and feel sick until you complete it. The required time of the payment is different for everyone, but their are no records of it having a time limit longer than 6 hours.

The final part of the HALO is the HALO Breaker. Or what happens when you miss payment. Failing to pay the Astral Toll has serious consequences. Noted symptoms include: the destruction of the Astral Gate in your brain, memory loss, fatigue, and illness.
