Dawn of The Republic: Lords of the Sith.

[Sapphire Storm]

I've noticed that it's quite common for Jedi to go the whole "YOU ARE EVIL AND MUST BE PURGED" route. Light Side doesn't always equal good, just like Dark Side doesn't always equal bad. I guess it comes down to what sounds more fun to you. I personally love the darker, more sinister and twisted story potential that the Sith, and all Dark Siders, have. The Dark Side is something that naturally corrupts you the more you use it, and things like that can be fun. But that's just my tendency for darker, more messed up stories showing.

I don't know if your comment on Jedi being crusadery and Sith being monky is actually true, since I haven't investigated enough myself, but I think it would be interesting if the Jedi were the aggressors. It would open up a lot of fun story opportunities as a Sith.

As for attempting to convince you... Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies?

Tempting, I'll write up a character for the sith (I think I've got like 6 concepts for characters in my workshop right now, it's just a matter of picking who to side with.) and see how it goes.

I have no idea why I didn't think of watching this thread or joining in on the discussions earlier but anyway... I'm working on a Sith (Sena) that's a bit more along the lines of a 'refined' or 'elegant' warrior, not socially so but regarding the whole warrior aspect. She finds beauty in the art of lightsaber, and melee weapons in general, combat and wishes to master the art and so on and so forth and what have you.

I wish I had that many character concepts, but I decided on a Sith and SBZ cultist immediately and was done from there. Now I have barely anything to do while listening to music. I'd say go with the character concepts that seem the most interesting and fun to you, honestly. I'm really bad at trying to sell people on stuff. The owner of an RP site I used to frequent got really mad at me for it once.

I had some big thing written here, but it was silly and repeated itself, so I shortened it. I love the character and think she has a lot of potential, but I think the lightsaber form mastery is over the top. As far as I'm aware most Jedi and Sith rarely truly master more than one or two forms over their entire life, let alone two by 31. Also, although I love the character idea, be aware that those kinds of characters, which I play a lot, can often be a bit tricky. Keep yourself far away from dwelling on the character's terrible past unless it specifically comes up in a thread. I know from personal experience how quickly it can go from great to "I made this all about myself and ruined a thread." Overall, though? She looks great as a character, even if her lightsaber mastery is too extreme for my personal tastes.

Also, I am in need of some practice PvPing before the new timeline so that I can get into the groove of how fights work on this site, especially with the new Manaan battle rules I'm reading about that put a lot of emphasis on individual duels.

I might be interested in that since i have no experience doing pvp and it would be good practice for my potential fighting style as well.

Could you convince me to make a sithbro?

Doooooo iiiiiiitt! (shia labeouf style) nah jk. if you are thinking of playing for the sith and are on the fence about it because they aren''t the usual faction you'd play with there is always a motivation or way you can play a character your comfortable with in almost any faction. it just takes some fleshing out. a character that is evil because of some childhood trauma or because they want power is pretty straight forward but the more in depth you're willing to go the more options you have. if you want some help just let me know.

Hey guys,

I have finished my draft of what will be my Sith for the timeline. I am hoping you are all ready for some fun main storylines as I certainly am. If you are interested in RPing with a heavily melee focused juggernaut of a character. Maybe you have some idea's or would like some training threads or what not, please feel free to comment on my characters profile page. I can't promise that everything will take my fancy but i am more than happy to consider all RP ideas that come my way!

HERE!​

Your character and mine seem like very complimentary entities. My guy Vlatkat is a Sith who is a warrior enthusiast and a very hardened and regimented person. He also has a very dark past that has scarred him as well. However, he is kind of a foil for Ryu personality wise since he actually has a whole lot of humanity (well, nautolanity?) and morals, and also has a good sense of humor and a caring heart . They're strange reflections of each other in a way. I had a copy of his profile in this thread actually if you want to look at it.

It's not that my character is devoid of humanity. I think I looked at it as being his coping mechanism for what he endured and had to do in service to the Sith. The life he is living is not his own, it was a path that was force upon him rather than that which he would have otherwise have walked.

Perhaps, but they still seem to have similar themes with a pessimism vs optimism dynamic. Plus if it really is like that then Vlatkat would definitely be more understanding of him and it might even be better. I'm just saying they would probably mesh well together if they met, either as friends or rivals

A new update has been posted on the Timeline concerning the applications of FLs; I just want to point out something of Roleplaying relevance for both the Lords of the Sith and the Sacred Band of Ziost and how the Staff sees it playing out (subject to the interpretation of the Faction Leader):

The Sith FL will be the Supreme Leader. They are the ruler of the entire Sith brotherhood, including the Lords of the Sith and the Sacred Band of Ziost. The Supreme Leader can come from either the Lords of the Sith sub-faction or the Sacred Band sub-faction. They are not required to be a Force user.

What this means for the way we roleplay our characters is that as far as the lore (and our IC Society) is concerned the Sith and the SBZ are equals rather than the SBZ being the servants of the Sith. While views may vary amongst the characters, I just felt it's important to acknowledge that in this timeline the Sith Order as a whole doesn't seem to have a societal hierarchy based on your Force Potential (although the Lords of the Sith probably will).

 

[Tsunami]

Good luck to all those going for FL position over the next few days! I hope you can lead us to great things!

Here's a quick and dirty concept for a sith, I see him as wanting to take over worlds to impose 'peace.' Also the idea that he can summon the spirit of his grandfather came to me just now so it was kind of just thrown in there. (Plus im not sure if the summoning of spirits is ok in the first place, no one has responded to the notion on the force rules announcement.)

Feedback would be great, I'd love to improve my writing, I'm still not great @_@

Looked through it very quickly. I don't think the summoning of the grandfather's spirit is a big deal. It's not really something that can be used to advantage, it's just fluff. I did notice that under his Weaknesses you discussed him not being able to use high forms of dark side powers, which is cool with the "peace" mentality. However, the site will be changing out force powers are handled in the new TL, and the listing of specific powers is no longer necessary (Such as Drain Life). If you look over the Force Powers announcement it will give you a good understanding of how the Force will be handled.

 

[Richie B.]

@TheBlackace just so you know if your characters grandfather is a Sith he would be buried on the sith planet, Moraband, which sadly means he can only be summoned there. But that shouldn't be too much of a problem, an if you ever want someone to fight against, got a Jedi who would argue about sith bringing peace to people, with your guy. ;)

 

[TheBlackace]

Yeah I thought about that, I'd say his grandfather was a sith but died off world so he was sealed by members of his clan

 

[Valik Extremis]

"For centuries, the Sith have fought against their Jedi kin in numerous long and bloody conflicts over their fundamental differences in the philosophies of the Force. Harnessing the Dark Side of the Force, and empowered by the collective knowledge of the ancient dead interred on Moraband, the Sith Order practice rituals to deepen their connection with the darkness. However, theirs is a broken order, shattered after centuries of attrition and further weakened by ambitions and infighting. The Lords of the Sith are a proud people, who refuse to recognize the destruction of their once great civilization. Never lacking for ambition, however, the Sith Lords now seek to rebuild anew, striking out from ancient and scattered worlds to bring about the destruction of the Republic, once and for all."​

So! This is more or less an 'early interest' thread for the people planning on going Sith in the next timeline. With the Order weakened and scattered, we have a great opportunity to do some interesting roleplay with the Sith faction this go around. Following a devastating loss to the Jedi and the Republic, we can either work together to restore our collective glory or let the infighting consume us all again, with everyone pursuing their own individual goals. The character I'm planning on using will be in the Sith sorcerer archetype, a conniving political type whose more or less focused on studying the Dark Side and manipulating both enemies and allies into doing his dirty work instead of forcing his will on people. Think Frank Underwood in a Sith cloak. I'm interested in seeing who else'll be starting out Sith and what your goals are, and maybe we can start working on plans or strategies for when the timeline starts.

[+SpaceJesus+]

Was kinda wondering that myself since I'm not on the roster. I heard that you can't really accept someone into the faction until it has been officially created, which would be when the new timeline starts, but there are people that have been accepted so o_O

 

[Tsunami]

It's just if someone on to update the OP.

 

[Dakota]

For the record, just because you aren't on that roster doesn't mean you aren't in the faction. I've just been so swamped with schoolwork the past couple weeks that I haven't had time to update the post.
