History/Lore:
During his ascent to power within the Seperatist Legion, Sesa 'Vadam used his relationship with the Sisters to reward loyal lieutenants with advanced weaponry secretly forged by Vauban Antilles; one such hammer was the Fist of Rukt. This axe was passed from one Jiralhanae to another (the species that Sesa 'Vadam was), with many having long and storied histories stretching back to before the nuclear wars that consumed their home world. With their integration into a technological society, Jiralhanae tribes adapted and applied advanced technologies to their traditional armaments. After 'Vadam received the Fist of Rukt, similar weapons were commissioned by other minor chieftains, but none as glorious as its forerunner model.
Appearance:
Though individual "gravity axes" are crafted differently, the design of the Fist of Rukt is rather simple, being composed of a long hilt made of tungsten alloy with a double-sided axe for a head. Within the head is a short-range shock-field-generating gravity drive that uses gravity impellers to emit a kinetic pulse. This device can displace gravity in targeted locations and manipulate localized energy fields, though the Jiralhanae's brutal nature means that they often prefer to use the weapon in melee combat.
Abilities/Traits:
War Gavel: A mythic war-axe that unleashes a linear series of kinetic explosions with each swing that also EMPs technology and energy, as well as gravity beams to draw objects closer or further. Inside the head of the Fist is a short-range gravity drive that allows you to release cannons of kinetic force with each swing, strong enough to flatten down trees and turn unsuspecting humans into bloody smears. Because of the modifications made by the original wielder, Rukt, these swings are kinetic but also EMP technology, rendering them ineffective and causing complete system shutdowns. More additions made by Rukt manipulate a localized energy field (also produced by the gravity drive in the head of the axe) that appear like a phantom red energy surrounding the axe, which stretches out to engulf objects it wishes to manipulate the gravity of. Once an object is under the effect of this field and quite frankly wreathed in this red energy, they're able to be pulled or pushed away as well as even create a vortex which pulls things in and then detonates the vortex to push things out.
Catalyst:
*Find the Energy Redactor Drive (ERD) in order to outfit on the Fist of Rukt and acquire this specialized form. May be renamed after this or another piece have been cobbled onto it.
The shockwave created by swings of the Fist of Rukt not only EMP technology but is now outfitted with another special piece of technology that can "EMP" energy systems or fields, causing total body shutdowns, disassembling barriers or impotently scattering incoming projectiles.
