Persistent Perseverance I might need a new thesaurus.
"...I have had a vision, my friends. A vision in which I must battle the world for you, my flock! A vision in which I endure great and terrible injuries to save those I have sworn to protect! You may not see its power, but look into my eyes and know that it is there! My courage, my strength! My love! For you, for all!..."

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Relentless Survival Protocol
"Mind Damage"? Well, of course I do!
As long as you give it time to adapt, the robotic equivalent to the human brain is a lot less affected by attacks on your cerebral capabilities and can act in an emergency where a person would've succumbed to their wounds. But tapping into this kind of strength leaves you a bit more vulnerable for a bit of time.
