SPECIAL FEATURES
- A beautifully crafted, but unassuming piece of jewellery, adorned with corusca gem, and nihil smokestone.
- Increases & maintains the Force Bond between Aedan Miles & Captain [member="Livia Maddox"], through its' compatriot ring, The Ring of Kar'ta Jorbe.
- Projects Aedan's intentional emotional state.
Strengths:
- Empathic Projection Amplifier: 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, Aedan exudes a terrible aura of fear, which can shake the knees of even the most grizzled of warriors. This effect is due to the ring's creator, Ginnie Dib and her alchemical training in fear-based devices. This aura of fear does not discriminate between ally and enemy.
- Battlefield Meditation: The Ring aides Aedan's talents in Battle Meditation, and other like-mentalist skills, to expand his abilities and sphere of influence with less energy expenditure.
- Connection: The Ring provides Aedan with the ability to sense the wearer of its' companion Ring of Kar'ta-Jorbe's emotional and physical state. With appropriate concentration, the Ring can be used to locate its' twin.
Weaknesses:
- Force-Null: 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.
- Aura of Fear: The aura of fear does not discriminate between ally and foe, the aura touches all but force dead, or those immune to mentalism, and the ring bearer of The Ring of Kar’ta-Jorbe.
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 Livia '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, and Mentalist Force Master Anders Sivas. Upon the Sumatiyara were materials from Anders' father, a Sorcerer of Rhand, and from Anders' own collection of force-imbued Corusca gems.
In order for Aedan to fulfill his duties to both Mandalore and his fleets, Livia commissioned Mandalorian Goran (Forgesmith) & Sith Alchemist Ginnie Dib to forge a set of rings. It was a fitting tribute to Livia's 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. Ginnie had experience in such alchemically treated devices.
Raised partially by her brother, a terrifying Alchemist, and the creator and forge master of her own Cathedral Forge, Ginnie delved into fear-based devices after developing a hearty respect for Phobos Devices. While the Ring of Deimos-Chaabar is nowhere near the force and power of a Phobos Device, it is Ginnie's homage to the legendary maddening devices. In order to create Aedan's ring, Ginnie needed to balance the forces, with another, the Ring of Kar'ta-Jorbe.
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. Protected, and mentalist-trained force users can much more readily temper the effects of the Ring.
The Ring of Kar'ta-Jorbe is crafted for Livia, as a companion to The Ring of Deimos-Chaabar.
