Addicted

An addict.

Addiction means that a character needs some consumable (ex; drug, drink,) to be used regularly or the character will suffer a penalty from withdrawal. So when a character uses Psycho for example, and becomes addicted to it, he suffers once the Psycho wears off.

Each addiction can be temporarily alleviated by taking more of whatever caused the addiction, but otherwise reduces AP by 1 when ignored. The causes of addictions can be seen in the character's profile screen on the Karma tab.

NOTE: You can no longer get addicted to drugs unless you have the Chem Reliant trait. Historically though, any character could become addicted even without the Chem Reliant Trait, and such addictions would last 1 hour.
