SPECIAL FEATURES
- Compound is based on a series of injections with the mixture of Laminanium and Phrik-B with a series of compounds kept at 130 degrees Fahrenheit to keep various compounds active to keep the solution in a liquid state. The current solution uses a variety of organic compounds that keep the solute active, when cooled however a chemical change occurs to cause the solution to form into an alloy that will coat the entirety of each bone. The byproducts of the compounds cooling however naturally dissipate through the body similar to lactic acid and other natural toxins.
- Alloy when cooled and chemically stabilizes forms a crystalline structure and actual becomes more resistant to heat, physical and thermal types of damage, and otherwise increase skeletal strength.
- Bonding to the being's skeletal structure and musculature through Sith Alchemy allows for the bone cells to naturally produce the alloy. This allows for the body to heal damage to the bone structure naturally without further injections or modifications. After effects of Sith Alchemy grant small increase to healing (this means recovering faster not regeneration). This also means that with proper care individuals with this bone augmentation can recover from formerly fatal blows (broken neck, severed spine).
- Small reservoir of liquid Laminanium and Phrik-B is held in key positions of the body to allow for either temporary bone repairs in emergencies, or with skilled users can be utilized to form bladed weapons from the individuals body.
- Side effect of the Sith Alchemy is that in order to bond the metal to the bone cells of the individual, a spirit was summoned and bound to the metal after injection. Original intention was for the spirit to be destroyed during the process, however due to the strength of the spirit in question it survived and now inhabits the body alongside the individual this treatment is utilized on. This has the unintended side effects of a spiritual passenger following the person around 24/7, while also granting the boon that should a person be able to use the spirit to their advantage they can essentially have a "second perspective" on surrounding events, along with something able to forcibly take control of the person's body should they be rendered unconscious. How desirable the actions are of the spirit when this occurs however is unpredictable so coin toss as to whether that's a side effect or a good thing.
- Provides increased strength and durability to bone structure: This augmentation does increase the strength of the person's bone structure. This offers a solid base for individual strength as without the limitation of natural bones being weaker. This means that muscles can be stronger, a being can push themselves harder, and can take more damage before bones break like a normal being.
- Provides more stable and strong attachments for tendons: Because of the metallic alloy in the bone structure, now means that tendons which normally were attached to bones now have the alloy reinforcing those connections. This only reinforces the above strength in that the stronger tendons allows for stronger and denser muscle mass to be achieved for the being in question. This allows them to surpass their normal limitations of what having pure genetics or pure organic based genetic engineering.
- Naturally regenerates bone tissue: This endo-skeleton behaves more akin to a natural skeletal structure due to the utilization of Sith Alchemy to allow the metals to bond directly with the bone cells themselves. This allows for the bones of the person to naturally regrow and heal damage done like natural bones. This combined with a better than average natural healing capacity means that the bones and tissues associated with them heal naturally without outside assistance.
- Ability to generate natural weapons: The ability to control and channel the reserves of liquid metal allow for the creation of blades, claws, and other simple bladed weapons at points around the individual's body. This combined with the body's capability to regenerate (slowly, you're not Wolverine) these reserves over time mean that should these become damaged, you'll be able to heal them over time.
- It's just the bone structure: This literally just reinforces the bone structure of a person, you're not going to be suddenly immune to fire, being shocked, shot, cut, or other dangers that can still quite easily kill you. Can you heal from wounds faster? Yes. Can you survive having your neck broken, spine severed, or other serious bone injuries that normally kill people? Yes. Do bullets and blasters still hurt? Oh god yes. You are mortal. Weapons still hurt and kill you.
- Metals still have metallic properties: Strong enough magnetic fields will affect these bones. Any metal detectors out there will pick them up unless you're wearing something to shield them. Just because it's inside of you, doesn't mean that you suddenly don't have to worry about that stuff.
- Increases damage from electrical attacks or Lightning: So note that metals are more often than not, conductors for electricity. And then note that these particular metals will heat up severely if exposed to electrical attacks or force lightning that will now cause burns ON THE INSIDE of your body alongside what lightning does to a person normally.
- Man if you thought light side stuff hurt before: So you have essentially a dark side spirit that's been infused into this liquid metal as its source of energy to make the bonding happen, that survived. So now you have a passenger aboard your head that's constantly nagging you, talking and otherwise trying to take control over a body that you both inhabit. And the key phrase there is "Dark Side", meaning that light side force based abilities meant to target those beings aren't just wishy washy to you anymore. Just picture the surface of your bones boiling under your skin, and you'll get a pretty good idea as to what it'll feel like if they break out some of their particularly nasty powers.
This specific bone treatment was a development of The Sith Empire's Arctus Silmar, also known as The Shaper, in request from Empress Joycelyn for a specific treatment to a newly discovered force sensitive soldier. The issues presented was that the bottom 3 vertebrae of the soldier's spine was shattered, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. The damage was so extensive that most doctors refused to operate citing that it was deemed a loss without amputation and excessive cybernetic implantation which the soldier, Damian Frost, couldn't specifically afford. This however was seen as less of a job by The Shaper and more of a challenge, an experiment. How to fix the damage done to a man of seemingly iron will, while also testing some new theories on binding force spirits to liquid metals and seeing the results. The process would seem relatively simple, submerge the subject in a bath of water with a diluted bacta solution present, inject the liquid metal at key points across the body, and then bind the spirit to the metal inside the person. The results however were less than predictable, as the moment the metal cooled around the bone structure and the spirit was bound Damian began seizing as his body fought for control against the foreign entity that was introduced. He would struggle for five minutes, clinically die, and then be brought back as the spirit temporarily took control over Damian before Damian managed to regain control. This would result in Damian being able to heal slightly faster than before, his bones now having the strength beyond normal means, and his body having a ready access to concealed weapons. It does have its downsides however, being that now Damian has a voice in his head that refuses to shut up, magnets have a habit of causing him to stick to things, and electrical shocks hurt that much worse. That and it physically burns him now when light side force abilities that focus on purification are used near him. However with the ability to walk again, and fight now as a Force Adept for The Sith Empire, Damian looks forward to what the future holds for him.
