Emotional State
From MENACE Official Wiki
Emotional states are temporary buffs or nerfs that are given to squad leaders or pilots after they experience certain types of events. For example, receiving HP damage in a round can result in the 'bruised' state, which may escalate to the 'injured' state if further damage is sustained.
Characters can hold multiple emotional states at once. Some negative states can be temporarily be avoided by using certain Accessories, like drugs.
Currently, the game has X emotional states in total (Y positive and Z negative).
