The Temple of Positive pain is a religious organization of like minded individuals who dedicate themselves to spiritual enlightenment through weight training, physical exercize and hardship. Weapons and combat training are also part of the members daily activities. They are a registered religion and thus have prayerwear (Chrome II, pg. 13) dedicated to their faith. They are SHORT on doctrine ("Thou shalt not...") and long on RESULTS ("Pump harder!")
Their main temple/gym is located beside a nightclub called "The Twitching Corpse Bar and Grill." It is voluntarily 'policed' by the Temple's military wing, the Conan Posers to keep it safe from "evil." Due to this protection it has aquired a reputation as a safe place to hang out and keep an ear on the grapevine.
Unfortunately the 'safe' reputation has spread around. Recently the Grill has been attracting an undue amount of attention from gangs and street punks with nothing better to do. There are often melee brawls outside the Bar creating some of the best violent entertainment for the dollar that can be found anywhere in Night City outside of the Body Lotto. (Anyone using firearms, taking the fight inside or harassing customers is immediately 'erased' by a large group of well armed priests, posers and laymen from the temple proper. Nothing has happened yet, but it is only a matter of time...)
