PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Exar-Kun-Type Double Bladed Lightsaber
  • Size: Average
  • Weight: Light
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Dark Blue Kyber crystal
  • Plague Ankarres installed enables user to heal diseases, especially those caused by the Dark Side, and heavily increases the user's ability to channel defensive Force Powers, as well as heal wounds like a normal to Ankarres, albeit at a slower rate than a normal Ankarres, resist the Dark Side to a High Degree, and deliver non lethal, potential stun damage on impact, replacing the use of the earlier design's damping emitter
  • Cyclic Crystal Array, to switch between the use of Nathan's primary kyber and the use of the Plague Ankarres
  • Lightsaber has been converted from a single to double bladed lightsaber design that is the same length as a regular single bladed lightsaber hilt
  • Increased bonding with the owner has made the blade crystal better as a meditation tool
  • Increased bonding to the Crystal enables Nathan to sense Conventional attacks slightly easier than normal, and to feel the Lightsaber's energy more easily.
  • Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse, enabling it to operate under water
  • 2 Kunda Stone Lens have been Force Imbued, enabling increased both the standard deflection capability of Kunda Stone Lenses as well as more accurately redirecting blaster bolts back at their source
  • 2 Fencing Emitters, enabling better parrying of melee attacks
  • Drain Attachment, enabling power of enemy Lightsaber blade to be drained somewhat.
  • Ion Energy Cell has been Force Imbued, potentially increasing it's damage against droids
  • Blade Power Adjustment Knob has been upgraded to allow for more fine tuned adjustability in permeability and width
  • Pressure Grip
  • Dual-Phase Mechanism, to increase or decrease the blades by half their standard length
STRENGTHS

Cutter: Lightsaber Blades are capable of cutting through conventional inorganic materials, no matter which crystal Nathan is using

Pacifist Run: Nathan has heavily modified the blade further by swapping out the damping emitter for a Plague Ankarres, enabling it to possibly deliver painless non-lethal stun energy while still being able to cut through and penetrate inorganic materials

Ace Custom: A professionally made Exar Kun-type Lightsaber, it comes with numerous classic modifications, such as a Bifurcating Cyclical Ignition Pulse enabling it to function under water, an Ion cell that modifies the blade with Ion damage that has now been Force Imbued to potentially do greater damage to droids and electronics than a standard Ion Cell, a Pressure Grip that shuts the blade off should the blade leave his hand, a pair of Kunda Stone Lens to potentially improve blaster bolt deflection and are now Force Imbued to help potentially improve Blaster Bolt Redirection , a Blade Draining Attachment, a Cyclic Crystal Array to switch between Nathan's Primary Kyber and the abilities of the Plague Ankarres. Dual Phase Technology has been installed, enabling the blades to extend or reduce by half their standard length independently of each other. The Blade Power Adjustment Knob has been modified so that instead of switching between lethal and non lethal modes, which is essentially now the job of the Cyclic Crystal Array, it can now adjust the width and "permeability" of the Lightsaber blades independently of each other, enabling the blades to switch between standard width, and lightfoil width, and between full cutting strength, half cutting strength, and a third setting which turns the blade into a harmless beam of light

Come to your Senses!: Bond to the User allows its uses as a tool for meditation.

Healer: The newly installed Plague Ankarres enables the User to heal Diseases, even those caused by the Dark Side, as well as resist Dark Side Powers to a high degree, as well as a greater ability to channel defensive Force Powers (Using Ankarres changes blade to gray color

Surprise!: The weapon has been converted into a Double Bladed Lightsaber of the type wielded by Exar Kun (A standard length lightsaber hilt with an emitter on both ends), enabling the User a chance to potentially surprise other Duelists, as Nathan primarily uses a single bladed fighting style, and the design of the weapon does not immediately mark it as a Saberstaff, especially at a distance.


WEAKNESSES

Cortosis: Most Lightsabers cannot cut through pure Cortosis, and contact with such will shut the blade off for a few minutes until it's circuitry reboots

Sonic Weapons: Sonic Bolts pass right through the blade

Slugthrower Weapons: Solid projectiles melt on contact with the blade, potentially causing splash damage

Synth Blades: It's Draining Attachment has much more difficulty adapting to the strain of draining Synth Blades, and the blade Drain feature will shut off if in extended blade locks to prevent explosive overloads.

One or the Other: The user cannot use the abilities of both crystals at the same time

Deflection Weakness: When using the Plague Ankarres, The blades can only absorb blaster bolt energy but not deflect it

Offensive Weakness: When using the Plague Ankarres, the user's ability to channel Offensive Force Powers is slightly decreased

Standard Healing Weakness: The Plague Ankarres IS a type of Ankarres Sapphire, and it CAN be used to help heal physical injuries, but the amount of healing it provides is typically only one fourth the rate of healing a standard Ankarres, requiring much greater levels of concentration to maintain the effect, which can become exhausting

Concentration Required: The user must remain in a meditative state and focused in order to heal another, leaving them relatively helpless while doing so

One or the Other Part 2: The Plague Ankarres and Blade Drain Function cannot both be on at the same time

Paddle Beams: Paddle beams travel around the blade.

Surface Area: The reduced length of the Saberstaff hilt means it requires more caution and forethought to execute standard Saberstaff attacks, as there is less room to adjust for mistakes, leading to a more cautious, ultimately defensive parrying strategy with bursts of aggression in the form of one hand spin attacks, randomly adjusting the blade length and permeability in an attempt to foul up an opponent. Ultimately, Nathan prefers to activate the second blade only as necessary

DESCRIPTION

"A Lightsaber-any weapon-only achieves it's worth in how it is wielded, in the effort, the struggle of the one who holds it. Such a weapon does not make a Jedi, or a Sith. And at times, it makes them much, much less than they are."

--Kreia


Constructed by Nathan, this Lightsaber once greatly resembled the one he used as a Padawan under the Tutelage of his Master Moya De Lifte. As his ongoing tenure in the order continues, Nathan has further altered the blade to become an Exar Kun type Double Bladed Lightsaber, with incredible adjustability and protection against the Dark Side due to installing a Plague Ankarres. Nathan's tendency to make his blades as non lethal as possible carries over into this new creation. Despite having an increased bond to it, Nathan seems to regard it with disdain, rarely displaying it in the open, despite it's greatly altered properties. He is wary of falling into the trap of becoming overly reliant on it, as well as the fact another Jedi examining it too closely would realize he has massive experience.

His personal Lightsaber has taken more steps to becoming a Force Relic akin to an earlier creation of his and it's journey and struggle alongside Nathan is an exploration of how a Lightsaber becomes such a Relic.

Issues.

  • Manufacturer:
  • Affiliation:
These are not filled in, please finish.

  • Heavily modified Drain Attachment, enabling power of enemy Lightsaber blade to be drained somewhat, possibly weakening the enemy blade to the point of being non lethal or even to potentially "break" the Lightsaber blade of an enemy (Note, Drain Attachment can be turned off)
More of a small reminder, people decide the damage still to their own lightsabers. Just a warning is all.

Let me know when you fix the two fields.

Added a link in the special features section that starts at "Dark Blue Kyber Crystal" that details how the crystal was altered, and added new sections that showed it's expended abilities thereafter. New abilities end at the section that begins with the Damping Emitter link

Added the Strengths "Dark Resistant", "Swing Speed", "Come To Your Senses!", and "Increased Deflection", all of which reflect the new strengths described in Special Features section.

Altered the "Cutter" strength to describe it's potential increase in cutting strength

Added the Weaknesses "Maser Sense", and "Separation Anxiety"

Heavily altered description section, which now has an opening quote from a classic star wars character, and a smaller, expanded section at the bottom, as well as a link to another Lightsaber sub.

Hello I am in charge of rejudging this

Dark Blue Kyber crystal that has increased in power due to bonding more with it's owner over recent events leading to potentially slightly increased cutting power against conventional materials by default, as well as an increased ability to more accurately redirect blaster fire. Can now deflect Maser Bolts from Charrics as though they were normal blaster bolts
Cutter: Lightsaber Blades are capable of cutting through virtually any conventional material or defense in a few blows or less. Only Special, Lightsaber resistant metals like Phrik Alloy or Beskar can resist such a weapon with any ease, along with Alchemized or otherwise Force Imbued Materials, and select energy shields, as well as, of course, other Lightsaber Blades. As the Crystal has bonded with the owner, through his struggle it has increased in strength, leading to potentially slightly greater than normal cutting power
Increased Deflection: The increased strength of the Force within the Kyber has led to the user being more able to accurately redirect blaster bolts upon their source, and can now deflect Charric Bolts as though they were standard Blaster Bolts (Note: Deflected Maser Bolts from Charrics or other Maser Weaponry do not gain the increased re-directive bonus the blade has with standard bolts)
We'll break this one down for a couple of the things. First and foremost can you provide canon proof of reflecting charrics. Cause as the article states it is unable to be done. The impact is too strong and different technologies. Neither does reflecting even standard blasters apply an bonus damage roll. If a canon example cannot be provided it will need to be removed with all references.

Because of the difference in technologies, charrics were unable to be reflected by lightsabers, and also carried far more kinetic energy than a blaster bolt, with the "enormous impact" of the bolts being substantial enough to physically wear down a Jedi Knight to the point of having their lightsaber knocked from their grasp.

Next the bond between a crystal and the force user doesn't alter the cutting power of the blade. That is the energy being sent through the blade and the lense.

Recent exposure to the Light Side energy of Ilum has given the Kyber a Protective Aura, allowing The User to resist all Dark Side Force Attacks slightly easier, but Force/Life Draining abilities can be much better resisted
Dark Resistant: Recent experiences on Ilum, as well as an increased bond with the crystal through constant use, has increased it's strength to the point it's able to generate a mild protective field that allows the user very slightly increased resistance to all Dark Side Reliant Powers, though it's resistance to Force and Life Drain attempts are slightly higher still
Do you have a canon exmaple of Ilum super charging a lightsaber crystal to provide such substantial effects? Both resistance and precognative senses?

Increased bonding to the Crystal enables Nathan to sense Conventional attacks slightly easier than normal, and to feel the Lightsaber's energy more easily. As a result, the user can call it to them at a greater distance
Come to your Senses!: Increased power of the Kyber and its bond to the User allows Nathan a slightly increased ability to sense most conventional attacks, and increases its uses as a tool for meditation. Nathan can sense the blade when separated from farther away much more easily and call it to him from farther away as a result. It is much more easy to manipulate in combat as a fringe benefit.
As previously do you have a canon example of a crystal bond being able to turn a lightsaber into mjolnir?

Damping Emitter, rendering blade non lethal (Can be switched on and off). Combined with technology taken from the Ionised Stun Pistol delivers intense stun energy capable of traveling through armor and potentially knocking someone out quickly and painlessly
Pacifist Run: Nathan has heavily modified the blade with a damping emitter and parts from a powerful Stun Pistol, enabling it to deliver powerful non-lethal stun energy that is painless, capable of traveling through even the heaviest conventional armor and shields, aided by an Ion energy cell, potentially knocking out even the most physically hardy opponent for several hours
As always dictating damage and being able to bypass anyones defenses is not allowed. Remove it please.

Heavily modified Drain Attachment, enabling power of enemy Lightsaber blade to be drained somewhat, possibly weakening the enemy blade to the point of being non lethal or even to potentially "break" the Lightsaber blade of an enemy (Note, Drain Attachment can be turned off)
Ace Custom: A professionally made conventional Lightsaber, it comes with numerous classic modifications, such as a Bifurcating Cyclical Ignition Pulse enabling it to function under water, an Ion cell that modified the blade with Ion damage, enabling it to damage Droids better, a Pressure Grip that shuts off should the blade leave his hand, a Kunda Stone Lens to improve blaster bolt deflection, a Blade Draining Attachment heaviliy modified to possibly drain some of the power from an enemy blade, possibly weakening it to the point of non lethal or even potentially enabling it to break the Lightsaber blade, giving it slightly less chance of breaking from extended combat against a Synthetic Crystal Lightsaber (Note, damage taken is determined by opposing PC)
Synth Blades: It's Draining Attachment allows it slightly more protection against Standard Synthetic Crystal Lightsaber Blades from repeated strikes, but Blade Locks carry an increased risk of breaking the blade of Nathan's Lightsaber if they go on for more than 14 seconds, as the Drain Module will shut off to avoid an explosive overload...but the stress on the circuits from the sudden shut off shuts the blade down for a few minutes. If it's a Synth Blade that's in lock, that time reduces to 7 seconds
A blade drain effect siphons some energy off of the opponents saber, it will weaken it in time and is easily overloaded if you pour too much energy into it as a counter. It won't break a lightsaber blade that was more akin to synthetic saber crystals because the crystal broke. This reads like a conventional basic kyber crystals and not synthetic. So references to such combined effects should be removed from the sub or if it is a synthetic then kyber effects and references should be removed. You can have one or the other not both.

Separation Anxiety: The Kyber inside has begun to develop a more symbiotic attachment to who it's bonded with. Damage to the crystal could momentarily stun Nathan, and destroying it outright could weaken all his offensive Force Powers for a significant length of time while he struggles to recover from the shock.
Again please show a canon example of a kyber crystal having the sentience enough to develop what sounds like a life bond with the user. The crystal picked someone but it didn't connect in such a way that it could harm.

Overall this is... just looking like a way to auto win all fights. Something you have been told is not allowed multiple times. Chaos encourages cooperative writing this dictates and tries to nullify any attempt to fight back or counter. It is a mess and is going to need extensive edits to fix.

If the kyber crystal has been modified then it will need a separate submission to be judged and balance.

As to the rest the not editing as requested because it dictates damage and effects to other users will be removed. You have been told multiple times and repeating the same request over and over makes it easier to just deny the sub which will be the case if the edits are not done.
 
Alterations:

Doubled the Kunda Stone Lenses and force Imbued them

Force Imbued the power cell

Added dual phase modification, Cyclic Crystal Array to switch between crystals and plague Ankarres.

Removed stun limits weakness and swapped out Damping Emitters for Fencing Emitters

Added Deflection Weakness, Offensive Weakness, Standard Healing Weakness, and a weakness called Concentration Required, and added one or the other weakness, altered original one or the other weakness to now mention the plague Ankarres. Added weakness called Surface Area

Have added Healer Strength And Surprise Strength

Have heavily altered strengths and weaknesses as well as description to reflect all these changes
