Dray'sek: The Pursuit of Power

[Dinkus Mayhem]

"Good and Evil exist only in the minds of the weak. It is something they blame to justify the life they live, a scapegoat used to try and explain the things that happen to those who are not strong enough to control their own destiny."

I would assume that you are reading this because you are interested in my life, what makes me tick, why I became a Sith. The answers may surprise you, for there is little from my youth that would have led me down this path. There was no tragedy, no abuse, no sorrow. Quite the opposite to be honest. I was born of a privileged family who made their wealth off the backs of the poor, it was a beneficial arrangement between my family and slavers which ensured that we did not want for anything. That same arrangement also ensure that our clan, headed by my father, ruled the local government.

As such, I was a bit spoiled. My mother found it easier to give me what I wanted, and she was right, for if she tried to deny me I made life hard on her. She was a weak willed woman, and I despised her from as far back as I can remember. I suppose I get that from my father, though he never laid a hand on me he was abusive in as many ways as a husband could be to his wife. Though I never appreciated his senseless abuse I did admire the power he wielded and the control he exerted over others, it was something that I would try to emulate myself throughout my life.

When I was younger I did this in the normal childish ways. I was a bully, manipulative and petty. It worked for me, and in many ways it still does. Though I have since found a bit of sophistication I still utilize the tools I learned as a youth.

Such is the way my early years went by. When I grew into my young adult years I found that knowledge can be just as powerful as a brash attitude, and I went out of my way to absorb as much knowledge as I could. The particular subject matter did not concern me, so long as I was making myself better through the effort I was content. It was through this habit that I first learned of the Force, and eventually of the Dark Side. Soon enough I started to see things in myself that indicated that I could possibly be sensitive to the Force, oh you wouldn't believe the excitement I felt at that possibility. To think that I could be capable of some of the same feats as the legendary Jedi or infamous Sith, I wanted to know for sure if I had such a gift.

Having the benefit of wealth I poured resources into finding obscure objects related to the Force, in order to learn what I could and see if I had any potential at all. Though still young, around the age of 16 if I remember correctly, after wasting many credits on junk I was successful in finding a tome that taught one how to calm the mind in order to feel the Force. It took me weeks before my suspicions were confirmed, through what I learned in that book I was able to calm my mind and see possible future events. None of those have come true, and I don't know if I could interpret them correctly now even if I wanted to, after so many years those visions are foggy and my attention has moved on to other aspects of the Force.

Needless to say, after that initial success I decided that I no longer wished to live on Ryloth with my parents. They didn't mind, not that I asked them, but surely my mother wouldn't care and I doubt my father even would have noticed if I had not stolen one of his starships and a fairly good sized stash of credit chips which he kept at the house. With that I left, and haven't looked back.

It took about a year and most of the credits I had before I finally found my way to the Sith. Since then I have spent 5 years on Korriban learning history and lore, even gone over the basics that all initiates learn prior to becoming an acolyte, and I have loved my time doing so. It was not easy however, being a student, there is still tension and a competitive spirit between initiates. About three years back another initiate and myself got into a bit of a fight so to speak, even though I lost the vision in one eye it still can at least still be said that I got the better of that confrontation.

It is time to move on however, I want more. I want a Master to train me, and I want what I feel I have earned. The Galaxy awaits.
