I've asked around a bit for alternatives to [Cold-Blooded] as a perk name and Lazerus56 gave a suggestion that seems more accurate: [Merciless]

When I compared the definitions of the words, the most crucial difference was that cold-blooded is defined as someone who is 'deliberately' cruel, while merciless isn't that specified.

It should be evident that no matter how cold and calculating Rei becomes under the perk's effects, she's rarely if ever, shown any deliberate cruelty.

Hence, I'm fairly sure I'll change the name of the perk (it's going to be very annoying going through every chapter and editing them on my local files, P, RR, SH) lol

Anyway, I'd still like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

EDIT: I've decided to change [Cold-Blooded] to [Merciless]. I've edited C.7, C.8, C.10, C.14, C.16, C.19, C.20, C.21, C.22, C.23, C.24, C.26. Thanks for the input everyone!

Cheers,

I like the new one because you can drop the merciless towards oneself line.

You could also re-use [Cold-Blooded] as a physical perk to make it so her body is literally colder allowing her to not over heat as rapidly when using her cyberdeck.

I don't want to spoil anything, but I've already thought of such a scenario. We'll see what happens :)
