@Mr.BossMan
Serebin is based around the sin of Sloth, his evil is apathy. He is quite literally, too disinterested in other people to even bother being nasty to them. This goes both ways though, he is entirely unmoved by the pain of others and would discard someone else's well-being to advance his own desires.
There are boundless things to do with a Sith character other than just make them a dick. That's my point here.
If you killed his cat, he would disguise his grief then quietly drain the life Force of your wife and children. While that is mean, it's not being mean for absolutely no reason.

So, since I seem to have made my character not far off from a timeline change I think I'll be making him very similar to how he is now. However I'll have much more time now to make the profile good, unlike the mess I had created in last night. He'll be a young acolyte who will focus on his lightsaber and physical prowess over his force abilities, though he won't ignore the force. So if anybody wants a warrior student with a slave background that you can exploit to gain his loyalty through either treating him better than he has ever known or just torturing him into servitude I guess I'm your man.

So this is something I sent @Mr.BossMan when he asked me to expand on my Sith class stuff. It's entirely fanon and made-up, but may give anyone planning a Sith Warrior (like @Galad J. Victus and @Bantha) some inspiration or ideas. Don't have to take everything from it strictly, just pick bits out if you want.
Sith Warriors or Military Class, or Lower Class are the third class of the Sith Order who are the Combatants who lead the Stormtrooper corps and Armed Forces. They are most famous breed of Sith, made recognizable by figures such as Darth Malgus, Darth Marr and of course, Darth Vader. Warriors are the emblem of the Imperial military. To the first two Sith classes, they are lowly soldiers, cannon fodder or worse, free subjects for experiments. Sith Warriors are notorious for their aggressive nature, hot tempers and brutality towards their enemies, but often surprise by their loyalty towards their fellow soldiers. While Sorcerers and Assassins are symbols of tradition and the past, Warriors are the emblem of hyper-futurism, modern warfare and rebelling against the old, stagnant ways. With their cybernetics and iconic armour, Warriors make very little usage of the Force, with their skills almost solely in their remarkable lightsaber prowess.
Sith Warriors train their recruits at a military academy before they are deemed ready for battlefield combat. They employ a system of military ranks and do not utilize a "master/apprentice" process, with their lower ranking members serving a commanding officer who is a Darth-level Warrior, or Juggernaut. For the Warrior-class, I took great inspiration from the cybergoth and rivethead subcultures, aswell as the 1940's/wartime era. They are wayward, soldier-like military punks who don't waste time with careful manipulation and stupid powers. They are a blatantly masculine and largely male dominated culture, with androgyny being common among female Warriors. Their skillset is surprisingly broad, with many Warriors specializing in strategy, space combat or weapons and tech.
Warrior-class Sith are infamous for their abrasive, crass and overly direct or blunt manner. They typically speak with lower-class accents and use obscenities and slang, with exceptions, such as those from noble or military backgrounds. Somewhat of a melting pot of Sith culture, any Force-sensitives in the Empire who were of low-birth, low sensitivity to the Force or ill-breed have usually been dumped with the Warrior-class, as they were not distinguished or powerful enough to train as Assassins or Sorcerers. The largest, most physically able Force-sensitives are also chosen to train as Warriors.
Physicality, masculinity, gritty realness, raw sexuality and violence embody the Warrior-class and they lead the most brutal, passionate and harsh lifestyle of any of Sith. As they engage in combat so often, death is accepted as being most likely for Sith of their kind. For this reason, the fantastical notions of immortality and the supernatural are regarded as laughable, and it is considered a glorious honour for a Warrior to die victoriously in battle. Furthermore, they are the most anti-religious and atheistic breed of Sith, holding little regard for the Force or spiritual world.
Another core trait of the Sith Warriors were their historical tendency to go renegade and rebel against their old, stagnant Empire. For thousands of years, the Warriors were treated as meat-shields, cannon fodder and lab rats by the Sorcerer-class rulers. They were exploited, tortured, experimented on using alchemy or enhanced with cybernetics against their will to make them better soldiers. In the end, the saber always conquered the spell and had the last laugh. For this reason, the Sith Warrior is an emblem not just of war and conflict, but of change, progression and the future.
Perhaps the most unique trait to the Warrior class is their lack of extreme cruelty or "pure" evil, as often seen in the maniacal Sorcerers and oppressive Assassins. They are undeniably ruthless and violent, but remarkably honest, down-to-earth, keep their promises and share a comradely relationship with their fellow soldiers. The extreme goes both ways however, and Warriors are often just as cold and brutal towards their enemies, as they are loyal to their friends.
A particularly iconic aspect of Warrior-class culture is the symbol of the ill-fated woman. Very often throughout history famous Juggernauts have fallen into a socially forbidden romance with a women who would inevitably meet a tragic fate. The two most famous examples are Darth Vader and Padme Amidala and Darth Malgus and Eleena Daru. For this reason, Warriors have become the romanticized and legendary type of Sith, with many young women across the Empire dreaming of courting a male Sith Warrior, without realizing how dangerous that just might be.
I could write a whole book about these guys as they are definitely the most fun and exciting kind of Sith to write as. They also make wonderful anti-villains or anti-heroes aswell as villains.

I'm about to start working on my character. Collected a whole lot of epic pictures that reflect the image I have of the guy.
I'm thinking a lawful evil here, a brutal enforcer. Think of it as Ser Gregor meets Vader; a hulking war machine of a man. I intent to have this guy serve as one of the primal warlords of the Sith at some point in the future, a fist that is usually directed by the wills of his more manipulative peers, being you guys. He is not the exact type who prefers politics and plots; finding it more tempting to break bones and cut off heads, which opens up a good potential to have some interesting interactions with the more sneaky types of Sith we have around here.
I'm looking forward to see how he develops.

I'm twirling my evil mustache just thinking about it @Galad J. Victus.
I may do a Sorcerer write-up too if anyone's interested.

I've been tossing around the idea of making a Sith for the next timeline, more than likely a warrior-class type of person. Not sure on gender or race yet, though I'm starting to get bored with humans. Cyborg maybe.
I'm envisioning them as somewhat of a watch dog, a lawful neutral person who is loyal to the Sith not because he is a zealot or in it to gain personal power but because that is his.. house, lets say. His parents were Sith and his grandparents, perhaps further back. Given the Sith's current situation, or at least of what we know of it, his house is currently in shambles. He will take it upon himself to keep an eye on the Sith around him and weed out those that may be detrimental to the rebuilding process. I kind of also see them as a recruiter, going out into the galaxy in search of interesting force sensitives to bring into the fold or, if they happen to be Jedi, covert.
It will be interesting, at least to me, because if his lawful neutral personality comes out the way I want it to he'll know when the steel fist is necessary, but also willing and able to use a velvet caress to achieve whatever goal he's currently pursuing. They will be harsh, but fair. Averse to change, perhaps having difficulty adapting in situations where shit may totally hit the fan. Happiness is not his concern, but efficiency.
They'll be a perfect warrior, though. Loyalty will be unwavering, they'll never question his orders as long as they serve the values of the Sith that he upholds. Hierarchy is extremely important to them, probably.
"The nail that sticks up gets hammered down, boys. You'll do best to remember that."
..I may have to go start writing now brb

After I get through Anthoni's story arc. Expect him to be real mad and angry. Then he will join the Sith. Do a bunch of warrior shit for them. I'll try and make him a real baddy. Then I want to see if he will be redeemable, and if not then okay.
All in all expect Anthoni in your ranks sometime during the Next Timeline.

So I think I may do a full write-up for my classes if people would like me too, it would just be for inspiration and ideas, not something anyone would have to strictly follow. Here is the Sorcerer-class summary if anyone wanted to see. Haven't expanded as much on Assassins so I may do them later:
@Mr.BossMan
@Dakota (just in case you're curious ;) )
Sith Sorcerers, Noble Class or Artisan Class are the ruling body of the Sith. They are the masters of the Force and do not wield lightsabers at all, as melee combat is regarded as filthy and an insult to their Force prowess. High ranking Sorcerers are excessively wealthy and express their power and influence through elaborate dress and decadent lifestyles. Greedy and capitalistic, Sorcerers market their arts, be it alchemy, spells or healing to the wealthy and noble of the galaxy. Only in exceedingly rare circumstances do they use their skills for combat, as the powers Sorcerers utilize are intensively complicated and require high-levels of concentration to use willy-nilly. While not aggressive, the Sorcerer Class are regarded by many as the most depraved and evil breed of Sith for their appalling experiments, methods of torture through the Force and common tendencies to market living beings as "art".
Sith Sorcerers do not make use of academies, but live and train in Spellhouses, businesses owned and run by a Darth-level Sorcerer (or Arcanist) who supplies masters, apprentices and training to the Sith living in the house. Their arts and skills are sold to those wealthy enough to afford them, which include other Sith. The richest of Arcanists live independently with their lucky apprentices. Furthermore, Sorcerers are also the diplomats and politicians of the Order who deal with governing the Empire and managing inter-galactic affairs. Sorcerer-class Sith, often referred to as "First-class Sith" are one of the Empire's most famous sights, with their richly-coloured elegant dress, headdresses, shoes and decadent jewellery. In stark contrast to the Warriors or Assassins, their lifestyle embodies excess, social status and glamour.
As opposed to the lower classes, Sorcerers are political rulers, artists, socialites and diplomats. Notorious for their pompous attitudes, vanity, greed and most of all, their insatiable need to manipulate. Regarded as gods by the Imperial populace, Arcanists rule Sith society with elaborately jewelled and manicured iron fists. Their high status in the Sith Order is due to their astounding power in the Dark Side and the Force, as a result they have no need to engage in melee combat or physical activity. Their expensive, impractical and immaculate dress and appearance is a testament to this. As a further attribute to their lack of need for combat, Sorcerers are notorious for their lurid, unhealthy and immoral lifestyles, as they are convinced that no amount of depravity can hurt them. As the highest class of noble in Imperial society, Sorcerers can quite literally, do whatever they want without any fear of the consequences.
The most iconic and infamous tenant to Sorcerer-class culture is immortality. In stark contrast to Warriors who embrace death, Sorcerers regard death and age as the ultimate chains to break. High ranking Sorcerers explore countless methods of alchemy and spells in order to halt their ageing process and live forever. Many of these methods are outright unspeakable and demand an appalling human cost. Equivalent exchange is the first rule of Sith sorcery, in order to gain something, something of equal value must be sacrificed. Furthermore, physical beauty is regarded as sign of a Sorcerer successfully halting his age and many go to great lengths to maintain their appearance. Fashion, style and vogue play a large part in their culture, with male Sorcerers commonly being regarded as effeminate.
Most notably, Sorcerers are regarded throughout the Empire as the cruellest, most debauched kind of Sith. While they rarely mistreat their own kin, their treatment towards lower class Sith or Imperials, most infamously Sith Warriors is atrocious and ranges from biological and alchemic experimentation to other kinds of sadism and torture. Lastly, as opposed to the disciplined, controlled Assassins, Sorcerers are not religious Sith. Rather, they regard themselves as Gods, being above the Force itself. Sith Sorcerers do not worship the Dark Side, they rule it, they own it, they make it weep.

I believe you are the first of many, my dear friend. Our numbers shall grow with fresh recruits as all realize the sheer badassery of the Sith once more!

I'm gonna write a full workshop entry for the Class System tomorrow.
I'm honestly just doing this to express myself artistically so I'll be happy if only a few people take anything from it. It really is my baby, and the major aspect of the setting in the Sith Empire I am writing about off the site, and I want to show everyone!

I am seriously considering making a character who is noble born and expected to join the Sith per tradition. He sees the value of Sith philosophy, but believes true power comes from politics.He also struggles with urge to do the "right" thing, even if it at times puts him at a disadvantage power wise. Think of a young Dooku with a bad habit of trying to be the good guy. I have always been someone who goes into character creation with not much in ways of direction moving forward and just kind of letting the various stories move and grow the character.
Not sure if will sound as cool when I flesh the character out a bit, but I think it could be interesting.
