(Special Notes on Storm Redhawk's Weapons)


Storm Redhawk carries Four Special Weapons with him at all times, below is a description of those four, It should be noted that these are only four Weapons he carries, not THE only four weapons he carries.

ONYX

Storm Redhawks Oldest Weapon, he has carried it since the time of the Darkhunters, and although it is not clear in Tenarian History who gave it to him. This Sentient Blade, is the reason for the insane laughter heard whenever Storm is just entering an Area. The sword itself is Solid Black, from Hilt to tip, and the Darkness of it, seems to draw in Ambient Light. Although it gives no special abilities to attack or defend, it is unbreakable, does have a tendancy to talk, and is bound to Storm Redhawk. ( Players note: I used to Describe the sword with the indefinite article a soul reaver, This was in acurate, because while the weapon based on a rifts Rune Weapon does Steal the soul, of those it contacts.. It is by no means a Reaver of them, Their soul is not destroyed, it is added to the magical power of the sword, memories, abilities, etc, become a part of the sword, and are accessable to anyone Weilding said Weopon) Anyone who touches it, without his direct consent, falls prey to the swords Power. In Combat there is a 50 percent Chance that contact with the sword, will create the same problem for Storms Opponent. ( which means it happens about half of the time, although it has been about 600 years IC time since that has happened). Onyx Being a bit of a trickster, has an uncanny ability to locate theives in the area, and can not seem to stop itself from trying to entice them to steal him.. Unwitting theives that fall prey to the swords conniving calls, suffer a 95% chance of falling prey to the swords power. The Sword is unbreakable, and bound to the redhawk family.

DRAGO

This Silver Hilted, and Black Bladed Claymore is the latest addition to the Weapons list of Storm Redhawk. It was a gift from the Necromancic Liche Mahkulth, although the conditions of agreement between the two , that resulted in Storms Reciept of the Sword is a closely guarded secret. It is none the less now in his possession..

Yet another Sentient Sword, this one contains the soul of Storm Redhawks Adoptive Son, William Drago, and while this may cause some issues for the current inhabitants of Tenaria, this fact is not well known, the Sentient sword seems to keep it's mouth shut most of the time, although there have been rumours of heated arguments in the throne room of Durak. Whatever the Issue Storm does not seem to be too bothered by it.

The sword itself, could be considered a God in Tenaria, it not only has the ability to transfer Combat Damage, from Storm to whoever he happens to be in combat with, it also cuts magical attacks on Storm by 50% making him almost impervious to Magical Attacks, while carrying the weapon( he doesn't even have to draw it) It is not unbreakable, but as long as the hilt remains intact, any pieces of it that seem to crawl back to it, and then reform. The sword acts as a holy weapon against cenobites, and a fire weapon against Some Vampires( it seems to only affect Vampires of the Tzimisce Clan, and it does know which ones are Tzimisce). It Increases Storms Combat Speed, by 10% and allows him a bit of an intellectual edge, because the sword can plot out each move, and telepathicly let Storm know which places to hit.

With all these abilities, You would think that Storm was pretty much a God while carrying that sword, and while he does have much power, he is not, however he is held by the same laws as the Gods.. While this weapon is in his possession Storm Can not strike the first blow in combat, this going back to the fact that William was a peace loving person, and the sword is his soul. There are two exceptions to this, and they go back to the swords special abilites when confronted with Cenobites/Tzimisce Vampires. Either one of those races, Storm can attack without provocation.

THOR AND ODIN

These two Massive warhammers, quite possibly the largest in the Tenarian World, hang around the waist of the vampire, and crackle with electricity. They were gifts from the norse God of Thunder, and Much like his magical Hammer, they seem to control the Electrical currents around them, Although, this is a bit misleading because they do not require any electrical current to be around them, almost as if they were superconductors of Electricity. While in possession of these twin warhammers. These hammers were forged by Norse Gods, and as such, draw into themselves any, and all electrical fields, Magnets, even the Tenarian Wold Core, and Magnetic Gravitational pull, inside they turn all electrical/magnetic fields into massive swells of Electrical Energy, and they do not have to expell it regularly, they can simply continue to store it up, like an unlimited battery of electrical power.. While in his possession, Storm gains the Ability of Electrokenisis, although he does not know this, he does not understand the powers that the twin warhammers have, thankfully, they are semi- Sentient, and tied to his emotions, growing stronger in power with the vampires anger, and weaker, in the vampires good naturedness.

Another amazing ability of these twin warhammers is they seem to act as an alarm. While they do not have the ability to speak, whenever they sense Danger around the Duke of Durak, they will Crackle Violently, and spark, sometimes Arching in the direction of the danger on their own. Storm has gotten better in the past few centuries in controlling these massive beasts of weapons, but he by no means has mastered making them be calm, so they seem to almost always be charged, and waiting, and sometimes, act without his will, in a threatening manner. Usually though, this is only in response to Danger to the Duke of Durak.

Another Weapon of Note:

While he never carries it, and it is hidden somewhere, there is a solid black, broadsword, that was carried by William Drago. It is soul linked with the vampire, and as long as it exsists, the vampire can not be destroyed, his body may be, but whatever dark energy that covers as a soul for the vampire does not die, it becomes again a part of this artifact. Where the "soul" remains sentient, being able to see, speak, and advise whoever carries the weapon. It is Rune Protected, although it is not unbreakable, anyone who holds the weapon would advise against breaking it. Once the sword is Broken, it's hold on the soul of the vampire is released, and the vampire's "soul" searches out the nearest body, possesing it. The oddest part of this magic, is that the body itself will change.. Storm Redhawk's Appearance will not. In this way, the vampire lives on, even after his body is destroyed( which is no easy task). Once the "Soul" of the vampire, has taken possession of another body, the sword seems to reform itself, with just a word, a word only the vampire knows, and no matter what the distance, the two are reunited, instantly. In this manner, anyone knowing where the sword is currently kept( which is NEVER in the vampires possession) could use the sword to find the Vampire, no matter where in Tenaria he was. ( Players Note: No Your Character does not know where the sword is, there are only four people who do, and none of them are talking, and no you could not retrieve it from one of their memories, the location of the sword is protected by an elven spell, not even those who know about it, remember it, until there is a need.)
