Anesthetic

undefined: An anesthetic is a headmate whose role is to coax or force the body to sleep as a coping mechanism. Oftentimes they will front when multiple headmates in front are experiencing high levels of stress or negative emotions, or when someone that works against the system is close to front, working to shut them down and "reset" the body and mind.

History
The term's name comes from anesthetic, the controlled substance given during surgeries to put someone to sleep, or to numb a local area of the body.
