- Sith Runes: (See Sith Runes Strength) Saevius’ cybernetic body contains several runes derived from the ancient sith language which grant it subtle abilities associated with Force Drain. This is primarily incorporated to offset the natural weakness Fyrirdögun possesses to force abilities. Note, this does not render the body completely immune to the effects of force abilities, but merely reduces such effects to prevent it from being a greater liability to Saevius as such abilities are to anyone else. More generic runes are inlaid throughout the exoskeleton to enhance Saevius’ natural affinity with the force, as it would otherwise be reduced given he is now largely synthetic. This allows for him to still draw upon the connection to the force he once commanded, but at the mercy of said runes themselves.

- Extremely Durable: Due to a combination of metallic alloys used in the forging of the exoskeleton’s layers and coating, this cybernetic body is extremely durable against energy based and kinetic attacks, along with lightsaber, sonic, and disruptor damage.
- Life Sustaining: During the invasion of Noris, Saevius had sustained a series of injuries and wounds that could, and should have killed him. It was through his strong connection of the force (as well as a bit of luck) that he survived the ordeal, but it is due to the engineering behind this suit that he remains ‘alive’ today, even if the word is used rather loosely considering to what extent his former self remains.
- Radiation Resistant: Due to the moderate use of alusteel within the exoskeletal alloy, the body possesses above average strength in protecting what organic tissue remains of the former Saevius from radiation damage/poisoning.
- Regenerative: Due to the innate, otherworldly properties of Fyrirdögun, this highly prized material is capable of regenerating itself, and thus allowing for Saevius’ cybernetic body to regenerate over time. The amount of time it takes for his body to ‘heal’ is directly proportional to the amount of damage he has sustained. Small wounds heal slightly faster than your average sentient, with more grievous wounds that would normally be fatal being rendered as a matter of waiting a few days.
- Sith Alchemy: Runes are etched across the entirety of Saevius’ exoskeleton. While some specifically draw power from the ‘Force Drain’ ability as mentioned previously, they also amplify his natural connection to the force to make up for the severe reduction of organic tissue remaining within him.
- Strength Enhancement: This new body affords Saevius greatly enhanced strength and endurance that exceed the limitations of his previous organic body.
- Vacuum: Although Saevius is more machine than man at this point, he still possesses enough organic material to require oxygen to survive. Unfortunately, the inclusion of integrated rebreather technology was deemed too intensive from an engineering standpoint to implement while maintaining a manageable weight and mass.
- Ion/EMP Damage: While Saevius’ new body is not entirely vulnerable to Ion or EMP damage, it still has the pronounced ability to incapacitate the surface-level technology of his body in a similar manner to stun rounds against organic targets. If he sustains enough Ion damage, his body will revert into an emergency stasis mode to preserve his vital functions while shutting the majority of his body’s capabilities and subroutines. Effectively, he will ‘pass out’.
- Regeneration: Although Fyrirdögun is capable of regenerating, it is possible to overwhelm such properties, rendering its unique benefits entirely useless. While Saevius can withstand and heal from damage otherwise deemed excessive compared to sentients, it still has its limits.
- More Machine than Man: Many people discount or completely ignore the obvious drawbacks of life as a cyborg, usually because of the obvious benefits. While Saevius’ body includes the implementation of several useful accessories and functions, he is completely devoid of things most sentients take for granted. He cannot physically feel anything, having to rely on ‘sensors’ to indicate his body is taking damage. While this could in theory allow for him to fight through damage that could otherwise overwhelm someone in pain, he no longer possesses the same immediate reflexes pain grants most beings, so as to avoid situations that could otherwise severely damage him. He cannot taste, despite the fact he still requires nutrients for his brain and nervous system to function properly. His limited organic needs are satisfied with a nutritious paste, with ‘waste’ processed by a synthetic digestive system that flows into an internal reservoir, which requires draining on a daily basis. In short, he still has to ‘poop’, without the benefit of at least tasting the food leading to said process.
- Very Heavy: Previously, Saevius relied on stealth to fully partake in his machinations against his enemies. With his new body, such stealth is heavily hampered. Instead, he must rely on the mild obscuration effect afforded by the Stygian Triprismatic Polymer coated on his armor, as well as his mastery over illusions within the force.
- Rune Dependent: Although his connection to the force is not totally forgone, the runes etched on his armor allow for him to command the same mastery he was previously capable of. Should they be interfered with or destroyed in some way, his connection to the force weakens, making him more dependent upon the technical aspects of his ‘body’.
During the Invasion of Noris, Saevius suffered tremendous injuries that nearly killed him. He was saved only through his connection to the force, and the timely intervention of his minions. Yet, his life could only be ‘permanently’ restored through the salvaging of his central nervous system, and integration of said organic tissue within some form of life sustaining apparatus. Hence, his cybernetic body was born. Crafted from some of the most durable materials available in the galaxy, and sporting components that would make even the most technical of Mandalorians green with envy, Saevius has reemerged anew. While there are obvious improvements in the form of enhanced durability and strength, it should not be ignored that he is decidedly limited in his former way of doing things, such as in his complete reliance on the force. Although the runes are etched via arcane means, and would not be easily removed - the risk is still there, which necessitates the presence of the very accessories that appear to be overwhelming.
Despite his physical alterations, the one constant that remains is the burning hatred that smolders within him, contained within the cold shell that gives him an increasingly foreboding appearance.
