• Crown
  • Telecrystalline Interlace - The Telecrystalline Interlace boosts the telepathic power of the armor's wearer, acting both as a relay and a conduit for psychic energy.
  • Rakatan Mindlock Node - A crystalline mindlock module, embedded in the armor's crown, allows Carnifex to entrap the consciousness of a targeted sentient being into an internal mental prison, rendering the victim catatonic or inert. The soul is imprisoned within a Prosperian Soulstone inlaid into the armor.
• Armor
  • Sith Runes - Magical insignia that protect against Light Side-based abilities, most notably Force Light.
  • Prosperian Soulstones - The Prosperian Soulstones collect and store the soul, or consciousness, of living, spiritual, or interdimensional entities, and are capable of transferring souls from one vessel to another when compelled.
  • Runic Circuit Integration - Running throughout the metal plating of Carnifex's armor was a series of crystalline circuitry, fashioned with the power of the Dark Side and ancient Rakatan technology. These lattices of runic energy do not merely transfer power, they conduct will; channeling the Dark Side itself as an operating principle. The armor thus responds not only to thought, but to intention, turning Carnifex's emotions, instinct, and focus into dynamic control inputs for embedded enchantments and subsystems.
  • Reconstruction Runes - Darth Carnifex's armor "remembers" it's form and repairs itself slowly over time using residual dark side energy, forgoing the traditional period of lengthy manual repair. This can only be achieved through immersion in potent negative energy.
  • Crystallized Hatred Inlay - Small dark-side crystals embedded throughout the armor can be charged in combat. Once fully empowered, they release an explosive wave of psychic hatred or Force Fear.
  • Obsidian Voidshard Integration - Deep within the battle plate's plating lie razor-sharp Obsidian Voidshards, forged in Sith darkness and carved with ancient runes. These dark-side-infused shards resonate with the warrior's Force presence, lending the armor an eerie edge—visually manifesting as flickers of smoky black crystal across the cuirass, gauntlets, and pauldrons when the wearer channels rage or focus.
• Cloak
  • The soft fabric is comprised of Shikkari Shadow-Silk, allowing for increased durability, resistance, and even granting limited stealth to the wearer.
  • Laced overtop of the Shikkari Shadow-Silk were various pieces of Beskar'gam, the armor worn by Mandalorian warriors. The armor pieces had been collected from the murdered dead of Mandalore during the Decimation, where the majority of the galactic Mandalorian people had been systematically murdered by the Sith.
  • Each piece of Beskar'gam still retained the identifying markers placed there by the previous wearers, creating a tapestry of broken lineages worn as an affront to the Mandalorians who survived the Decimation.
  • At the hem of the cloak were several long blades, each one nearly a foot in length, edged in sharpened Beskar. This gave each blade incredible cutting power, capable of piercing most common materials as well as damaging the Beskar'gam of Mandalorians.
  • Carnifex could utilize these blades by flourishing his cloak, manipulating each blade through the Force like a whirlwind of daggers.
• Arms
  • Sith Runes - Magical insignia that protect against Light Side-based abilities, most notably Force Light.
  • Rakatan Mindspear Focus Array - A dormant Mindspear matrix can be activated to project a razor-sharp mental assault—a focused burst of psychic energy that pierces a target's mind, causing disorientation, pain, or loss of higher cognitive functions. By adjusting the matrix's functions, it can also be used to siphon the memories from a target individual and stored in a specialized soulstone.
  • Sith Amulets - Artifacts that channel and empower the Dark Side of the Force.
    
    • Healing Amulet - An amulet that stimulates the body's natural healing process, facilitating Force Healing in the midst of combat.
    • Shield Talisman - An amulet that protects the body from all forms of energy-based attacks, including the Force.
    • Talisman of Chains - An amulet that allows the user to permanently bind and subjugate another being to their will, allowing them to track their movement, communicate with them at vast distances, and compel their thoughts and actions.
    • Talisman of Concentration - An amulet that amplifies the wearer's ability to manipulate the Force, enabling them to wield vast quantities of Dark Side energy.
  • Nightsister Magical Enchantments
    
    • Touch of the Kiin'Dray - A Nightsister enchantment that imbues the wearer with the ability to apply a binding force to their hands to hold an individual or weapon in an unbreakable grip.
• Legs
  • Sith Runes - Magical insignia that protect against Light Side-based abilities, most notably Force Light.
  • Nightsister Magical Enchantments
    
    • Speed of the Toocha - A Nightsister enchantment that imbues the wearer with short bursts of blindingly fast speeds, allowing them to make energized leaps to cover remarkable distances.
    • Touch of the Kiin'Dray - A Nightsister enchantment that imbues the wearer with the ability to apply a binding force to their feet to scale vertical surfaces or keep their balance.

• Sith-Alchemical Resistance - Forged of various metals steeped in Sith alchemy, the armor boasts exceptional resistance to lightsabers, kinetic force, and most elemental damage.
• Resistance to Adversarial Force Powers - The menagerie of runic inscriptions and arcane wards defend the wearer against a wide variety of Force-based abilities targeting them.
• Force Light Nullification - Embedded runes siphon and transmute Light Side energy, rendering powers such as Force Light inert or diffused upon contact with the armor.
• Resistant Shadow Textiles - The Shikkari Shadow-Silk cape and Shikkari Death-Weave robes provide varying mystical obfuscation from natural and technological surveillance and significant insulation from blaster fire and physical weaponry.
• Mystical Circuitry Network - A crystalline circuit network of Sith runes and ancient Rakatan logic matrices amplifies the wearer's intent, allowing reactive Force-powered effects, rerouting enchantments, and combat enhancements based on emotional states.
• Dark Side Reconstitution Runes - When damaged, the armor gradually repairs itself over time by drawing upon ambient dark side energy or the death and suffering nearby—especially potent in warzones, tombs, or Sith nexuses.
• Stored Hatred Capacitor - Runes and crystals embedded in the armor store dark side energy from combat, releasing it in an explosive burst or empowered strike when thresholds are reached.
• Rakatan Soul-Binding - The armor can imprison the consciousness of a sentient target within an embedded crystal, rendering them catatonic and allowing their essence to be interrogated, drained, or ritualistically exploited.
• Mindspear Disruption - A focused burst of artificial mental energy can overwhelm a target's mind, disrupting Force use, coordination, or perception to create critical openings in combat.
• Weaponized Armor Plating - The embedded voidshards grant the Taralraiskaz armor passive cutting capability, allowing melee strikes or wrestling moves to leave jagged wounds and enabling the armor itself to slice or shred when close-quarters force is applied.

• Extreme Weight and Encumbrance - A heavily reinforced and overlayered construct, the armor is physically burdensome to non-augmented or non-Force-sensitive beings, demanding great strength or alchemical enhancement to move efficiently.
• Technological Scarcity - Lacks integrated electronic systems or conventional shielding, making it highly susceptible to sonic, radiation, tensor, or technopathic attacks. No digital HUD or advanced sensory suite is present.
• Emotionally Reactive Circuitry - The armor's mystical circuits are semi-sentient and psycho-reactive—overwhelming emotions, especially fear or confusion, can cause misfires, backlash, or unintended activation in combat.
• Resonant Arcane Signature - The armor's integrated runic-circuit matrix and crystallized dark side reservoirs emit a constant magneto-mystical field—subtle to most, but painfully obvious to Force sensitives, droids with advanced sensors, or beings attuned to sorcery or alchemical anomalies.
• Dark Side Reliant - The armor's most advanced features—the reconstitution, circuit enhancement, and spell-routing—depend on proximity to the Dark Side. In Light-aligned or neutral zones, these functions are hampered depending on the strength of the opposing energy.
• Arcane Vulnerabilities - While formidable against conventional Force powers, the armor is susceptible to powerful neutralizing magicks, sorcerous disruption (e.g., Force Break, spellsevering talismans), or high-tier ritual countermeasures.
• Slow Regeneration - Though self-repairing, the restoration process is slow—minutes to hours—and cannot match battlefield damage in real-time. Severely damaged systems must still be ritually restored between battles.
• Mind Prison Mental Burden - Maintaining a trapped mind causes mounting psychic strain and emotional bleed-through, with powerful souls risking mental backlash, spiritual corruption, or attempted possession.
• Mindspear Neural Feedback - Each use risks painful feedback and mental fatigue, and may be resisted or redirected by enemies with strong mental defenses or Force-based countermeasures.
• Fragile Shard Integrity - Though potent, obsidian remains brittle: powerful kinetic impacts or concentrated lightsaber blows can cause voidshards to fracture, reducing their cutting potency and requiring arcane re-forging to restore maximal effect.

Embroiled in the scalding flame of the Dark Side, the Dark Lord of the Sith toiled unceasingly at the Sith Forge he had erected on the blasted world of Remnicore. Having imported a vast quantity of Dark Side modified metal and ore, the Dark Lord Carnifex meticulously fashioned each piece of armor to his exact specification. Once a piece of the armor was fashioned from the blasphemous metal, it was treated to a chemical bath and further imbued with the power of Kazqyâtyit (Sith Alchemy) to be immune to degradation and become physically indestructible.

Upon the application of Sith Alchemy, the Dark Lord would inscribe icons written in the ancient runic language of the Sith. These wards would provide exceptional protection against the powers of the Light Side of the Force, particularly Force Light. In recent decades, the various Jedi Orders aligned against the Sith had invested much research and training into expanding their control over Force Light and had utilized the power against the Sith with dire consequences for the warriors of the Dark Side. Having recognized this, the Dark Lord spent considerable resources into uncovering new methods of counteracting the Jedi's advantage over the dark.

The solution was a series of interconnected runes inscribed upon Dark Side armor that could transmute the harmful powers of Force Light into harmless neutral energy, shunting the energy out and away from the wearer's body to impotently dissipate.

Afterward, the Dark Lord socketed Sith Amulets into each gauntlet that would grant him power over a variety of spells imbued into each talisman. He enclosed Prosperian Soulstones into the front and back chassis of the chestplate and inlaid shards of Telecrystalline into the fan-like crown attached to the nape of the neck guard. Both of these artifacts were provided to the Dark Lord in explicit secrecy by the Primyn Group and Adrian Vandiir. The final enchantments were imbued by the Nightmother Pom Stych Tivé , granting his sabatons incredible bursts of speed and allowing both them and his gauntlets to adhere to any surface or grasp any item with an unbreakable grip.

Furthermore, He bound every runic inscription and spellnode with a crystalline latticework of Dark Side energy running throughout the armor's metal plating. The whole system, running like nerves throughout the chestplate, gauntlets, and sabatons, could be controlled by Darth Carnifex's will alone. Not just thought, but instinct, could effortlessly summon forth powerful abilities and enhance them with the Dark Side. Carnifex could also, through intense focus or ritual, reroute magical circuits to "reprogram" what the runes could do.

By studying the secrets of the ancient Rakatan Infinite Empire, and meticulously plundering their ruins and treasure hoards, Carnifex became an expert in their lost technology. He incorporated whatever He found useful into His armor, such as a deconstructed Rakatan Mind Prison into the crown and Rakatan Mindspear focus arrays into each gauntlet. By melding ancient Sith Alchemy and Magic with ancient Rakatan technology, Darth Carnifex had achieved what very few had in this modern era; embodying the legacy of two ancient precursor civilizations.

Soft fabric elements, such as a magnetically tethered cape and a sleeveless greatcoat, were attached to the armor pieces and were manufactured from specially woven Shikkari Shadow-Silk and Death-Weave respectively. The weave, as well as the silk itself, was naturally energy resistant and could dissipate blaster bolts. More than that, was their ability to obfuscate the wearer's presence from others, both visually, technological, and through the Force.

Following the Decimation of the Mandalorian People, Carnifex had his servants collect the fallen Beskar'gam of the dead and bring him a piece from each scavenged set. He then took those pieces and wove them onto the cloak of his armor, creating a scintillating scale tapestry made from the broken armor of the dead. He then created a curtain of blades at the hem of the cloak, each blade edged with Beskar to give it nigh unparalleled cutting power.

Really potent armor here. I swear every day Carnifex is just an amalgamation of Dracula from Castelvania and Morgoth from Lord of the Rings.

As like anything, FAFO
