By drinking this essence, you are charged to embody the hopes and dreams that founded the New California Republic, and the courage and conviction to uphold and maintain those hopes and dreams in the face of unspeakable hardships, cruelty, and evil. In the process, you will accept the accompanying shackles. You shall do no evil. You shall ever always give your best effort. You shall brook no tyranny, and you shall strive for the rest of your life to make the world a better place in whatever way you can. Be aware that you will be instilled with the intimate knowledge of what this entails. Knowing this, you must fully, wholeheartedly accept the limitations and responsibilities both. There is no shirking. There is no rules lawyering. You will literally be incapable of such cowardice. This is the last chance to back out. Should you do so, then the essence will simply become inert. Should you accept, you shall be furnished with the following to facilitate your duties.
*You will be equipped with a suit of Elite Riot Armor worn in the old days by the most important and elite members of the Los Angeles Police Department. It will protect against laser, plasma, and radiological attacks in addition to its ability to sustain kinetic impacts by multiple .50 BMG rounds with only minor kinetic transfer. It is also sealed against Nuclear, Chemical, Biological, and Radiological hazards including those introduced by WMDs. It also incidentally provides firearms skill, critical luck, and makes you ever so slightly more convincing. When you need it, it'll be there.
*Your helmet contains a heads up display and sophisticated sensors and computers which enable it to track a vast array of vital statistics, general health, the health of others, and even weapon aim. A compass and motion tracker is also present. It can also see in low light conditions, infrared, and ultraviolet. It is able to provide the same protections as the rest of the armor, and is powered and maintained by your strength of will. Again, when you need it, it'll be there.
*Your signature weapon is the Ranger Sequoia, a 5 shot revolver chambered in .45-70 Government that is engraved with the words "Against All Tyrants" and it is as bound to your soul, as much a part of you as your hands or your legs. You shall find it always in reach, even if you leave it at home or if it is destroyed. All you need to do is reach down to your hip and mean to draw it. It'll be there, as shiny and perfect as the day you got it, just like always. If magic ever pops up, you can fire conceptual rounds if you want, though that excludes specialty ammunition. Incidentally, you can toggle the helmet settings so that it will draw a trajectory line though it only works for the Ranger Sequoia.
*You will be provided with an M4 carbine chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. You will be provided with an M82a1 Barrett sniper rifle chambered in .50 Browning Machine Gun. They're kinda nice.
*You inexplicably never seem to run out of ammo.
*You are skilled, very skilled. You immediately gain at minimum 20 years of additional experience, muscle memory, and honed practice in all manner of skills from firearms handling to stealth to lockpicking to survival to mechanical repair to science to even non-violent conflict resolution on top of the skills that you've already accumulated. You can chew nails and spit napalm (not really) and you are every bit as bullshit as even the most sue-ish main character. Your plot armor will falter if it becomes narratively convenient though. (in which case, your regular armor should be more than sufficient against most threats)
*Should it be necessary, you will be granted an extended life.
*Free genetic scrubbing. Is nice!
*You become hardened up with physical abilities up to peak human ability, or at least striking a happy optimum balance. You also just generally have greater durability than anyone else. Anime physics automatically applies whenever it pops up.
*And should your efforts not be enough, you may recruit others to your cause. You may create numerous iterations of the NCR Ranger Essence to give to those who are trustworthy.
