Special Features​

Strengths​

Shelf-Stable - Provided that the container that the Dye is in remains sealed and air-tight, the Dye will not expire and is completely Shelf-Stable, preventing the chemicals and components from separating.

Tarnish Resistant - Throughout its life, the Matravash Amaranthine Dye shows no hint of dulling or tarnishing due to the passage of time or exposure to the elements until the Dye needs to be reapplied. Even then, if properly cared for, it can last for a decade on certain objects before the dye needs to be reapplied or the item replaced due to other damages.

Glow in the Dark - Even when properly stored in its container, Matravash Amaranthine Dye is known to glow in the dark as it absorbs light (radiation) and emits it at a longer wavelength. This often causes the clear containers that the Dye is stored in to produce a vibrant purple glow at night.

Weaknesses​

Rare - The only location in the known Galaxy that an individual can acquire the Dye is from the planet of Matravash. Likewise, it is only created in small batches to preserve the natural resources utilized in its creation as a means to prevent overproduction and over-harvesting - making the Dye a rare and difficult to acquire finished goods.

Glow in the Dark - When exposed to light (radiation) or shorter wavelengths, the dye produces a Phosphorescent reaction by reemitting the radiation at a longer wavelength. While this is a neat party trick or provides a striking appearance in a social setting, it can give an individual's or an object's location away in the dark.

Everything is Purple - If the appropriate safety measures are not taken when utilizing this dye during the process of dying an object or hair, anything that is not intended to be dyed will find itself, in short-order, a brilliant purple. This can be commonly seen on the individuals that produce this dye, as their hands and often faces, are colored purple as a result of the production phase.

Description​

Matravash Amaranthine Dye is a rare substance in the Galaxy with the only known manufacturer of the Dye being the denizens of the planet Matravash - and even then, Dye production is limited and highly regulated by the planetary government to prevent the wholesale destruction of the Greater Amaranthine Forest - the region which produces the raw materials utilized in the Dye. However, one produced, the Dye is incredibly Shelf-Stable - provided that its container is kept air-tight when stored and not in use - the internal components will not separate. A major downside of the Dye however is that, as stated in its name, it will Dye anything and everything if proper safety measures are not taken when utilizing the substance. This can often result in unwanted items being dyed - or in some cases - an individual's manipulative appendages being rendered purple because they did not wear the appropriate coverage. An odd side-effect of the manufacturing process has resulted in the Dye producing Phosphorescence - or in common terms - the Dye is capable of glowing in the dark. While this can be the desired effect for some individuals, for others who require stealth or not being seen at night - it is highly recommended that they not wear any item dyed with this substance in those instances as it will likely give away their position. Likewise, the Dye is known for weathering well and is considered to be tarnish-resistant, maintaining its vibrant color and only needing to be reapplied in those instances in which it was utilized as a hair dye. Beyond those stated effects, there is nothing overtly special or unique about the Matravash Amaranthine Dye beyond its rarity in terms of location and its relatively small production batches.
