Fire flows through Russ' blood it is what calls him to create, it is what calls him to the forge but before this was potential that had yet to be realized now though it has been granted form. Causing Russ and the Items that he creates are imbued with a small amount of fire causing the items that he creates to be warm to the touch. When Russ swings an item that he has created and makes contact with something a number of sparks fly out as though he struck hot metal and as that heat is transferred from Russ to the tool and then the target a much greater force is applied to the target than should be possible and the target flies back in a small burst of sparks. This continuous cycle of heat and fire between Russ and his tools has left him with a bond to the tools he has created as items outside of that feel cold to the touch as to Russ it feels like he grows weaker the longer he is using items not created by his hand.

The latest enhancement to the Umbrae Defender integrates advanced “black tech” defenses, blending next-generation materials science with covert tracking systems. The artifact now houses a layer of hyper-dense nanofiber mesh, invisible to the naked eye, which disperses kinetic energy from physical attacks. This nanofiber technology, known only to certain government labs and high-clearance contractors, reduces incoming damage significantly, rendering most forms of physical assault virtually ineffective. Only specialized attacks with legally encoded identifiers can bypass this armor, making it uniquely selective.
This nanofiber defense system is reinforced with a self-repairing lattice structure, embedded with molecular memory. If breached or damaged, the mesh automatically reconfigures itself, restoring to full strength within an hour, regardless of the intensity of the assault. This tech is resilient to armor-shredding tactics and cannot be bypassed by targeted shots, ensuring that the defense remains robust and consistent.
Embedded within the artifact is a miniature LiDAR tracking and triangulation system, activated immediately upon impact. When the armor is hit, this tracking system triangulates the origin point of the attack, locking onto the source’s exact location for 30 seconds. Utilizing covert radio frequency analysis, it provides a precise, untraceable data relay to the wearer, giving them a real-time, 360-degree awareness of their assailant’s position. The Umbrae Defender, enhanced by these black tech innovations, offers not only unparalleled defense but also an elite tracking system, turning each encounter into a tactical advantage.
