TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Crossguard Emitters: Vent raw plasma as jagged guard-blades; can burn attackers on contact.
• Overload Pulse: Focuses stored emotions or souls into a violent shockwave when activated.
• Dark Aura: Emits an aura of fear and oppression through Sith alchemy runes and corruption. Light-side based attacks can disrupt this effect.
• Ancient ur-Kittat Runes: Carved into the blade hilt—marking the weapon as Odrin's, inscribed and locked to his genetics and Force signature via ritual.
• Waterproof Casing - The lightsaber is outfitted with two crystals that allows it to activate underwater and avoid shorting out.
• Crude Phobium Emitter - Specially designed lightsaber emitter.
• Vexxtal Crystal - The core of the weapon and fiery red in color.
• Synthetic Crystal - Second crystal and also fiery red in color.
• Force Imbued - Channels the wield energies of the Force. An amalgam of pure Force energy where the wielder fights for control.
• Non-Dimetrous Circuit - Not susceptible to cortosis shorting them out.
• Force-activated: Lightsaber can only be activated using the Force.
• Locking Activator: Locks the saber on so it doesn't deactivate when thrown.

STRENGTHS

• Devastating Power: Ruinfang is built for brute strength—its weight and blade profile make it ideal for shattering defenses and dueling equally formidable opponents.
• Force-Conductive: The alchemized kyber amplifies the wielders emotions and power through the saber, enhancing his Force-based abilities in combat.
• Fear Weapon: The saber's dark aura and brutal design can unnerve weaker foes or those sensitive to the Force. Stronger wills can resist this effect.
• Durability: Near-impervious to standard saber damage and physical strikes due to phrik construction. Reflective blaster coating.
• Overload Pulse: Focuses stored emotional energy or slain and captured souls into a violent shockwave when activated. Requires a long cooldown and power up before another use.

WEAKNESSES

• Heavy & Unwieldy: This weapon demands immense strength and refined martial skill—useless to anyone not trained in its specific use or not physically capable.
• Overload Risk: The Overload Pulse can cause feedback injury if used recklessly or when Odrin's emotional control falters.
• Dark Side Echo: Prolonged exposure may wear on even Sith minds—Ruinfang has a will of its own.
• Not Subtle: The size, sound, and visual presence of Ruinfang make stealth completely impossible.
• Force Null: Force nullification zones or abilities render the force imbued effects inert.

DESCRIPTION

Ruinfang is not simply a lightsaber. It is a symbol of Angeron's rage, conquest, and identity forged in blood, betrayal, and the Eternalist Code. Created from the shattered hilt of a distant Iron Howler mentor slain in ritual combat on Fangol, the saber is as much a trophy as it is a weapon. Angeron poured his fury and loss into the kyber crystal during a week-long Sith alchemical rite—infusing it with all his pain, willpower, and hatred.

The weapon's crossguard emits jagged tusk-like plasma blades, a nod to both the Iron Howl's beast-worship and Angeron's brutal tactics. Its voice is not a hum but a growl—rumbling with raw energy and restrained chaos. Scars on the hilt are not flaws but markers—each one tied to a specific victory, a betrayal avenged, or a name crossed off.

While monstrously powerful, Ruinfang is not a tool for finesse. It reflects its master's creed: break your enemies, let none stand, and let fear speak louder than mercy. In the hands of Angeron, the Juggernaut of the Iron Howl, it is a legend forged in darkness.
