Consciousness

Consciousness is a pawn capacity: The state or quality of awareness. A pawn loses consciousness when this falls below 30% and dies when this reaches 0%. Consciousness, also called Data Processing on mechanoids, itself doesn't have any effect on a pawn's stats, however it does directly influence several other capacities that a pawn has.

It is lethal for humans, animals and mechanoids for Consciousness to be reduced to zero. The maximum possible Consciousness capacity is 140% with a healthy pawn high on go-juice, luciferium and wake-up.
