PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: @Nine Lives
Affiliation: Nine Lives
Model: N/A
Modularity: No
Production: Unique
Material: Cortosis Weave Durasteel, Stygium, Arch Psy-Pire Blood
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: Alchemized Sword
Size: Average
Weight: Light
SPECIAL FEATURES
Unique form of Alkahest imbued into the sword that increases its durability and cutting power the darker its surrounding environment.
Capable of accumulating psychic charge every nine kills that can either sustain Nine through feeding or being released in a wave of psychic energy that heal a Force Adept being of her choice
Can enhance Nine's Psy-Pire abilities, enabling her to control large animals using her blood, and creating a noise absorbing radius of ten meters around her or wherever the sword is pointed, as well as faster healing while asleep.
Increases ease of using Force Stealth related abilities
In Daylight, decreases Nine's nausea upon exposure to daytime conditions.
Capable of turning directed electricity back on its source
Nowhere near as heavy as normal alchemized swords.
Cannot be held by other species of vampire or any species of sentient that possesses similar traits.
Extreme lightsaber resistance
Strengths:
I am the Darkness: Nine does her best work in the darkness, and this sword reflects that, as the darker it gets, the more cutting power it possesses, to the point that in pitch black conditions its capable of cutting cleanly through beskar or other saber resistant metals, or at least heavily damaging them. It also increases ease of any force stealth or camouflage she knows.
Unique Alkahest: Psy-Pire Alkahest is different from other forms of Alchemy, relying on the blood of a Psy-Pire or Arch Psy-Pire to achieve its potent affects, as all Psy-Pires, by way of and including Nine herself, are the result of brutal Sith experimentation. As a result it does not come with some of the typical weaknesses of alchemized swords, such as immense weight, in fact being rather light for a sword. Because neither Nine or her children are true sithspawn, in spite of the origin, this form of alkahest is a more 'nuetral' application of Alkahest. It is not good, but it is not evil either. Psy-Pire blood is essential to making items with Psy-Pire Alkahest, as those of their blood naturally possess stealth advantages, which can then be conferred on a weapon or item. Due to unusual chemical reactions between the blood and metals used during imbue mean that in a night time environment or daylight, items imbued can become either highly protective and mind enhancing in daylight conditions, or nearly unbreakable by lightsabers and capable of cutting easily through lightsaber resistant materials in nighttime or pitch black conditions, aa well as intense resistance and even ability to reflect lightning back to the attacker through sheer focus at night.
Bias: Cannot be held by vampires not of the Psy-Pire strain.
Sunscreen: When it close proximity to Nine, it decreases her nausea in sunlight, allowing her to fight at near full strength, though the rest of her abilities as a Psy-Pire still cannot be accessed
Lightsaber Resistant: Due to its cortosis weaved Durasteel, Stygium, and Nine's blood, it possesses near total immunity to Lightsaber Attacks...one would have to repeatedly smack the blade over six thousand consecutive, full on blows from one to break the blade...and thats if Nine hasn't enshrouded it with the Force.
Enhancement: Greatly enhances Nine's Psy-Pire abilities--the psychic discharge she can create quadruples in range, all noise in a ten meter radius around her or wherever she points the sword and focuses is reduced to whisper levels, she heals even faster than she normally does while asleep. Any mental attacks Nine uses are also strengthened.
Storage: Every nine kills made by the sword causes it to accumulate a psychic charge from the energy of the slain. When it limits are reached, Nine can either "drink" the energy accumulated on the sword or release it in a wave of psychic energy on a Force Adept of her choice, if any are nearby, healing them.
Surge protector: The sword's resistance to lightning is fantastic, so much so that directed electricity will be turned back on its source so long as Nine channels her will through the sword.
Weaknesses:
Advance Sonic weakness: Much like its creator, it has a weakness to sonic attacks...directed sound is capable of shattering the blade if it sustains enough hits
Ion Weakness: Another thing it inherited from its reforger. If hit with an ion bolt, Nine will be unable to use any of her Psy-Pire or Force Abilities so long as she grasps it for the next ten minutes
Daylight weakness: While Nine feels less nausea in the swords proximity in daylight, this comes at a cost, it loses its sharpness, to the point it literally could not cut butter, thus becoming capable of little more than mild kinetic damage, its lightsaber resistance drops to that of only an average quality Cortosis Weave durasteel sword, able to take only a few blows before breaking unless enshrouded with the Force, and also loses its enhancing abilities, save for its ability to mute all sound in a ten meter radius, wherever it is pointed.
Reflection weakness: It takes all of Nine's focus to reflect lightning back on its source. This can be overwhelmed if the source is simply too strong or Nine is too mentally exhausted. She is also so focused while doing so it could cause her to miss threats from behind or to her side...
Void Weakness: Entering a Force Void would disable its abilities, even if removed afterward it would still be just and ordinary sword for about an hour, rendering it easily destroyed.
Not indestructible: Beyond its odder energy weaknesses it is not like a regular alchemized blade...despite its fantastic resistance, a lightsaber can still destroy it, though it would take a massive amount of effort to do so, and with significant amounts of pressure it will bend and break, and excessive heat of up to one thousand degrees for an hour will eventually melt it.
Mandalorian Steel: A weakness from the blood used to alter it. Mandalorian Steel can and will chip and damage it, actually having a fairly good chance at breaking it, even with its enhancements at full strength.
Poison: Organic venoms, particularly Vong venoms like amphistaff venom can eat through it.
DESCRIPTION
"Behold, I am The Hundred-Handed Giant.
Whoever'd wield me has Death for a Client
My edge bleeds The Wicked and The Just alike"
--ancient inscription on the blade itself
The Hundred Handed Giant, known in ancient tongues as Hyaku no kiki Kyojin has gone by many names throughout its blood soaked history, the anonymous participant in a hundred thousand violent feuds before it was wielded in a thousand different wars on Atrisia, passing through hands both virtuous and villainous. Its origin is shrouded in mystery--no one knows who originally forged this masterwork Katana that has killed for Millenia, gaining a mystique among the superstitious as an evil sword that thirsts for the blood of warriors.
During the "birth" of Nine Lives, the first Psy-Pires rampage through the Necropolis of Darth Shojo took her deep into its hidden areas...it was here the sword was found, resting atop a pile of human bones. Nine seized it and it became her go to weapon for centuries before going to sleep on her ship to wait the millenia out, and even served as her preferred weapon after her release.
Now, having at last embraced her variant of vampirism, Nine has also embraced a weapon she once regarded as that of a murderer. Applying her own unique take of Alkahest, corrupted by her psy-pire blood, Nine heavily altered the sword by applying half remembered techniques for forging Force imbued blades and Sith Sword creation. Psy-Pire Alkahest imbues weapons to take advantage of darkness or daylight, or even the blood of others to create potent and unusual effects reliant on sound and shadows on both weapons and armor, and absorbing psychic energy.
Though Nine is still not what would be considered a master Alchemist, her understanding of both sword creation and the effects of her blood nevertheless allowed her to take what was already an excellent blade and craft a unique masterwork that gives her a number of advantages in darkness, as well as greatly enhancing her abilities as a vampire to begin with, including the ability to potentially cut clean through lightsaber resistant metals, However it is not nearly indestructible, as most alchemical creations are...as strong as it is, it can be destroyed with ease in a number of ways. Nevertheless, for someone who does their best work in the dark, The Hundred Handed Giant should make a fine tool that will now and forever serve The Psy-Pires as a People.
