Fear Hammer

The Fear Hammer is a rather atypical weapon, produced by one of the more unusual weapon manufacturers in the active multiverse. While it is designed to resemble many primitive warhammers, this weapon has been mounted with a psionic generator capable of generating directional pulses of fear to panic hostiles.

==Description==
The Fear Hammer is made to be around the size of a modern sledgehammer at around a meter and a half in length; with a smooth polymer handle often painted to resemble metal. Some soldiers noting strange runes carved into this plastic length, though these do not always appear. However, the head of the hammer is where the focus normally falls. The striking face is roughly thirty centimeters tall and fifteen centimeters wide, with a curved blade mounted to the rear portion of the head to provide a backswing weapon closer to an axe. However, on the top, sides and striking face, there are small round vents that often seem to glow from within with a pulsating red light that seems to cause unnatural dread. 
==Native Abilities==
A heavy melee weapon like most war hammers, the Fear Hammer is typically employed as a close-quarters weapon, though one that needs a fairly wide space to bring to bear properly due to the length of the handle. These weapons are effective against infantry, stationary vehicles and buildings alike, with both a brute blunt force impact and potentially a cutting blade to utilize. However, it is when the internal generator is running that the weapon comes into it's own. 
When the generator is running at maximum power, every time the hammer impacts onto a surface it throws a psionic wave forwards, a faintly red pulse of energy that carries out around five meters in the direction of impact. This weapon is optimized to cause fear, with many soldiers often reporting instances of terror if they are in the direct line of the swing. However, fighters with psionic defenses and especially robotic foes are highly resistant if not outright immune to these impacts. 
These weapons are surprisingly employed by G.U.N. cadets, where the combat hammer head is replaced with a "training" head that is softer and spongier, lacking the rear blade and with a toned-down fear generator inside. This allows cadets to grow accustomed to the tension and fear that can be caused by the psychic weapon, which in turn can make these cadets "braver" or at the very least less likely to panic in combat. 
==Notable Wielders==
*John Nah - a G.U.N. cadet; John wields one of the training specialized hammers in his role as a close-quarters response trainee, though still training as a medic as well.
*Leo the Hedgehog - often heralded as the vanguard of the Army of Equality's approach, Leo has a taste for the Fear Hammer both for the intimidation effects and the natural combat augment that a sledgehammer provides for combat with geokinesis.
