It is designed to provide improved protection from damage by armor plates implemented in the skin tissue of the user.

Effects

Behind the scenes

 * It is possible to have sub-dermal implants surgically installed in an actual human body, however the technology is currently limited to RFID chips.
 * The name NEMEAN is a reference to the Nemean lion, a monster from Greek mythology whose skin was said to be impervious to damage.
