OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Aten Ramses
  • Affiliation: Aten Ramses
  • Model: N/A
  • Modularity: No

  • Production: Unique
  • Material: Phrik, Duraplast, cybernetic/energy arm components, capacitors, electrodes, synth flesh, diatium power cells
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Multipurpose
  • Weight: Average
  • Resistances:
- Blasters (And other plasma type weapons): Very High
- Kinetic: High
- Lightsabers: Very High
- Sonic: None
- EMP/ION: Average
- Chemical/Acidic: None


SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Energy Arm technology: Energy arms while being seemingly an outdated piece of technology are capable of discharging energy on impact to disable force fields or personal energy shields.
Strengths:
  • Shield busting: On impact, the gauntlet discharges a burst of energy that is capable of disabling/overloading everything from personal energy shields to full-on force fields.
  • Enhanced strength: As with any cybernetic, due to no longer being flesh and bone the arm is more physically capable in terms of strength allowing Aten to lift even a fully grown human with it if need be.
  • Lightsaber/Blaster resistance: Due to the nature of Phrik the arm is capable of deflecting and coming into contact with lightsabers and blaster bolts with no issue.
  • Kinetic resistance: The layer of duraplast is capable of protecting against slugthrower rounds and other types of ballistic weaponry.
Weaknesses:
  • Armor: Due to the nature of this cybernetic and for it to function properly its impossible for one to wear a gauntlet or full body armor over it.
  • Sonic weaponry: The arm can be just as easily blown off or destroyed by sonic weaponry as much as any flesh and bone arm making it near useless against such technology.
  • Kinetic force: Duraplast may be able to deflect or stop ballistic rounds this doesn't mean the kinetic force isn't transferred through. This being dangerous meaning if struck with enough force it could be transferred through the arm to the supports on Aten's body.
  • Repair: This is a very sensitive and complicated piece of technology making it impossible for field repairs to be done on it so if its damaged Aten is stuck with it till he gets to a place with the proper tools.
  • Acidic/Chemical weaponry: The effects of concentrated acid or chemicals are able to burn through the cybernetic with nearly zero issues.
DESCRIPTION

One can never escape their sins, what goes around comes around. Aten learned this the hard way, during the attack on Dubrillion the Jedi had battled and eventually took the arm of [member="Adrian Vandiir"], not too long after nearly maiming the Sith knight @Darth Arabris. It was only a matter of time before the Jedi got what was coming to him, that day was far sooner than Aten could possibly imagine, cornered on Taris after finishing up a shift as a bartender the Jedi was cornered by two of the finest Bounty Hunters in the galaxy [member="Koda Fett"], and [member="Julian Valentine"]. A lethal combo that literally blew off the Jedi’s arm despite his best efforts to prevent such a thing.

Aten now understood how it felt, the despair that attempts to set in, how it feels to truly lose a piece of yourself. Eventually, after his escape from the clutches of Adrian, Aten would set to work on a new arm one that was superior to the run of the mill cybernetics other companies offered. One in which to capitalize on his recent loss. Not possessing the technical know how to build a cybernetic on his own Aten spent months studying reports, different models, and even history records. Across all these mediums Aten ran across small kernels of knowledge relating to a piece of outdated and near-forgotten cybernetics referred to as an energy arm. One capable of releasing a burst of energy on impact to disable shielding of nearly all types. With that knowledge Aten set to work on perhaps his most difficult task to date.

The outer shell of the cybernetic was crafted from phrik, an incredibly durable material known for its ability to block lightsabers and blaster weaponry. One Aten was familiar with due to the creation of his gauntlets. The rest of it crafted from duraplast adding weight to the cybernetic as well as other forms of protection. If the arm catches bolts of lightning the shock could go directly into Aten's nervous system leading to cardiac arrest or death. Thus insulation padding was added nearby where the supports for the cybernetic were placed on his body, while capable of insulating a majority of the electricity that could surge through the arm if to be struck by an ability such as force lightning bits could still leak through. To ensure the least amount of energy is capable of passing through capacitors and electrodes are implanted into the cybernetic trapping the electricity and heat then transferred to the diatium power cells.

The energy arm technology while difficult to replicate wasn’t impossible, though providing a significant enough source to allow it to release a large enough burst to disable various types of shielding. This is where Aten looked to using multiple diatium power cells the capacitors and electrodes installed cycling the power back into them to recharge the cells. The arm itself only has a limited number of uses before it requires a recharge or for the power cells to be replaced. This being on larger force fields after maybe a single or two strikes. While on smaller personal shields could range anywhere from three to five depending on their strength and size. Using this mode on a sentient is not recommended as if the burst of energy is capable of destabilizing and shutting down energy fields it striking a physical body could be incredibly devastating.

At the end to cover its true nature and partially out of hopefully comforting himself Aten covered the arm in synth flesh to make it appear natural, though no matter the appearance it would never be the same as the flesh and blood one he’d lost. With the damage done to his shoulder the cybernetic was attached to what remained of it while a small portion of Aten’s chest down to his ribs, parts even placed on his back to help in supporting the foreign weight. Where the fingernails should’ve been were instead sharpened into claws as a last minute addition Aten thinking of ways they could come in handy, perhaps as a surprise to those that were fooled by the appearance of the synth flesh.
 
Hey there [member="Aten Ramses"],

I just want to clarify before anything else that you understand Ultrachrome is a superconductor, and that if you don't insulate it somehow, you're probably going to end up with extreme shock that could potentially result in cardiac arrest/death. If you're comfortable with that, fine, but I highly suggest some sort of countermeasure.

That being said!

From the Wookie entry:

"Ultrachrome's resistance to lightsaber strikes was due to its superconductive nature. When the energy field of a lightsaber interacted with ultrachrome, it would be uniformly conducted across the entire solid mass, rather than be allowed to concentrate in one area and cut through. However, this also entailed that if enough energy from the lightsaber were transferred to the ultrachrome, the entire piece would melt."

Snippet on how Superconductors work:

Superconductivity is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical resistance and expulsion of magnetic flux fields occurring in certain materials, called superconductors, when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature.

Regarding this, your arm has limited lightsaber resistance while in a Superconductive state. (That means it has to be kept at an extremely low temperature at all times, as well) If it somehow lost that state, it would be vulnerable to blows from them.

If you want to do some research on other metals or figure out a way to make this functional, I'm more than happy to wait for you to do so!
