- A beautifully crafted, but unassuming piece of jewellery, adorned with corusca gem, and nihil smokestone.
- Increases & Maintains the Force Bond between Aedan Miles & Captain Livia Maddox, through its' compatriot ring, The Ring of Kar'ta Jorbe.
- Projects Aedan's intentionally chosen emotional state.
- Empathic Projection: The Ring of Deimos-Chaabar is a mentalist projection device, expanding the intentional emotional state Aedan Miles wishes to put forward, to a 100 ft radius.
- Aura of Fear: While wearing the Ring without actively engaging its' powers, Aedan exudes a terrible aura of fear, which can shake the knees of even the most grizzled of warriors.
- Battlefield Meditation: The Ring aides Aedan's talents in Battle Meditation, and other like-mentalist skills, to expand his abilities with less energy expenditure.
Weaknesses:
- The Force: In the presence of Ysalamiri, Void Stone, or Force Null fields, the Ring of Deimos-Chaabar is nothing more than a handsome piece of jewellery.
- Brittle: While Nihil Smokestone is hearty, the ring is susceptible to harm. Anything from a lightsaber to enough force can crack the ring, thus rendering it useless, until it can be completely repaired.
- Madness: The Ring is a symbiotic device, which forces Aedan to delve deep into negative emotions to have an adverse effect on those around him. If actively used for too long a time, the Ring can push Aedan toward the edge of madness, and if he does not pull back, will kick him over the edge.
- Mentalists: A Force User of equal power to Aedan, or one with a particular talent for Mentalism will be able to counter and protect themselves from the negative effects of the ring.
DESCRIPTION
Pirate King & Mandalorian Warden Aedan Miles came across a new officer, in his bid to increase the Mandalorian Naval forces under his command. With time, Captain Fury Maddox caught Aedan's eye, for her severe countenance in command, for her ability to withstand the tortures of her former Sith imprisonment, and for the conversations they shared. Love bloomed, promises whispered in the contentment of the galaxy's eternal night. He would send scouts to recover her inherited ship, the Sumatiyara, the treasure-trove of Livia's longtime best friend, the deceased Lord of the Fringe, Anders Sivas. Upon the Sumatiyara were materials from Anders' father, a Sorcerer of Rhand, and from Anders' own collection of force-imbued Corusca gems.
The duo of Aedan and Livia belonged together, and in order for Aedan to fulfill his duties to both Mandalore and his fleets, Livia commissioned Ginnie Dib to forge a set of rings. It was a fitting tribute to her lost friend. A familiar idea to expand on Aedan's mentalist abilities, and give him the ability to project emotional states upon the people around him.
If Aedan wished to extoll his troops, the Ring of Deimos-Chaabar would help, by decreasing the energy taken by expanding his field of influence, and by intensifying the desired emotions present. Yet, the true power of the ring was in aiding the aura of fear and terror in all who opposed the Pirate King.
Unprotected, non force using individuals are the most susceptible to the negative effects of the Ring, much the same as a Jedi Mind Trick is easiest accomplished on the weak minded.
The second ring crafted for Livia, is a companion to the Ring of Deimos-Chaabar.
