I have not seen a consolidated entry on the new doctrine, creed, w/e of the "Sith religion"
Can we collectively work to flesh this system out? It is integral to the majority of the SBZ characters so far and should no doubt play a major role in several, if not all, of the Sith characters in one way or another. Given the fragmented nature of the Sith after the war prior to the NTL, religion may be the one thing keeping them together. To be a major religion, this religion generally needs a doctrine, text, holy figure(s), some metaphysical explanation for the order of things, and should also elaborate on holy sites, how to worship, any practices to avoid. Adherents to the faith need not be doctrinally pure; this is more of a cult than a Church, but it gives people guidelines to follow.
Go with Draethos. Codru-Ji are gimmicky because of multiple arms and push the limits of what's reasonable in a lightsaber duel (and also what you can reasonably and competently describe in RP) and this risks making them shallow characters outside of combat. Kushiban are, I feel, likewise a gimmick that you might get bored of fast. Draethos are both very cool looking and also unique, while not being physically superior to anything except for lifespan, giving you more room to focus on RP. Just significantly de-emphasize the telepathy; it seems like a way to sideskirt tech restrictions and changes to the way the Force is used. That said, if telepathy becomes a part of the meta among force users next timeline, then go ahead and use it, your character has more cause to than others.SO I too will obviously be creating a Sith. I already have a species picked out too. He will focus on Lightsaber combat cause we need to kill those Jedi who are obviously swelling in numbers. Nasty peskie creatures. I think I am going to be one of few races. My number one choice is Draethos, but also maybe a Codru-Ji. Or maybe a Kushiban. ^_^ Ha ha. That would be a sight.
Ok.
Right.
Is there possibly anyone planning a Sith character who is not interested in RPing out combat, strategy, manipulating pawns, taking over the galaxy or anything else that I hate?
I want to RP my Sith just as normal kids growing up in an outright extreme world. Going on silly adventures, getting into trouble, having romantic experiences, dealing with the cruelty of the horrendous society in which they are trapped, etc etc. I have loads of little stories in mind that I'd love to play out with other people's characters. Anyone else playing a slightly younger Sith, perhaps in their early 20s?
Believe it or not, but I actually don't like to plan out my RPs alot, I prefer to just set a beautiful, picturesque, simple scene and let things roll from there.
I wasted alot of my time and enjoyment doing missions and training this timeline and I would really like to play more to my skills in the next. I want to write emotionally intense, intricate stories that don't revolve around stinking fights or stupid battles.
Do let me know if t any of this interests you.

Did you mean Lightsaber or Sabre? Either one isn't really a good fit for stealthy ninja assassins.I plan on being an assassin style, think as stereotypical ninja with a saber (or two ;P)
