Berserker Physiology

"Just because I fly into a blind, homicidal rage at the drop of a helm doesn't mean I'm incapable of appreciating the finer things in life."

- Berserker (8-Bit Theater)

"A stubborn enough person can survive just about anything. Rage is a hell of an anesthetic"

- Zaeed Massani (Mass Effect)

Also Called

 * Berserk/Berserker Form
 * Berserk/Berserker Transformation

Capabilities
The user is able to empty oneself of all rational restraints in battle and completely immerse oneself in combat becoming a dangerous warrior for both friend and foe. The ability allows the user to ignore fatal physical damage as if it never affected them and continue fighting with a frightening level of stamina while also being unpredictable and erratic in combat, making it hard to counter them. The rareness of this power makes-up in one's opponent being super strong as it boosts the user's adrenaline and stamina to the point they are able to wear out their opponent through sheer tenacity and ferocity alone.

In some cases, user are able to go in a berserk form through sheer rage or when they are imminent danger.
