Jedi or Sith character?

[buenosnothing]

I realize that there's a lot more Jedi compared to Sith, but at the same time I'm a naturally good person at heart and I always feel guilty for even acting evil in RPs. I mean, I can't even watch crime shows without feeling really upset for the victims that get hurt in horrible ways. So the answer should be Jedi, right?

Well...I've also been told I'm decent at being the villain/anti-hero too, and I do have ideas on the Dark Side. The imbalance between the sides also bothers me, and I usually suck up my preferences to accommodate for what's needed rather than what I want. Once I find a groove, being darkside's a real blast and it has just as much potential as my Jedi storyline.

Buuut, being the indecisive noodle I am, I can't decide. If I do Jedi, most of it's already been developed and I'd really like to explore growth through the Force, and the background is something I'm super fond of. However, the motivation's kinda generic. But I love the struggles that they'd have gone through to reach knighthood. And finding a Padawan later would be fun too, especially with his set of morals and emotional baggage.

As for Sith, the background's extremely underdeveloped and requires more time and thought as I don't know that much about the Sith, but personality and motivations are solid. "The only difference between me and you is our point of view! Peace is an illusion--as long as individuality exists, there will never be harmony! Are you so blinded by your Force-given 'righteousness' that you can't see that? Or will you strike me down like the rest, a bloody knight preaching virtues of 'peace' while bodies hit the floor?" --probably a conversation that would happen while dueling a Jedi, bc I love being Extra. And I'm toying with the idea of getting power off of self-hatred?? How cool would that be

Help, I can't decide. :'T I love both but oh wow

rping is about telling a story and having fun (in my opinion) and both are closely tied for me. if it's not a good story for whatever reason (if i don't play a character well) then i won't have fun. if i were you i'd play a jedi. who cares if the sith are outnumbered, it's not your job to make the factions balanced. one side does have to win. from what you're saying I would go with Jedi but feel free to keep an eye on the dark side of things if they peak your interest.

JOIN THE SITH ~ WE HAVE COOKIES

Give me a chance to promote my faction, I will gladly take it. :)

In all honesty, though, you just have to think on it and choose which would be more fun for you to write. Having interesting ideas can sound fun, but then the reality of roleplaying that interesting idea isn't always so fun. You have to make sure there's plenty of potential for growth in a character, because if they're already perfect and have everything they wanted there won't be much motivation for threads.

Choose Jedi, choose Sith, either would be a good faction to join, but either character might end up not being fun to write. You just have to think on it and decide which would give you the most fulfillment as a writer. ^.^

 

[Logan]

I think the choice is obvious here. >.>

 

[Phoenix]

You know you secretly want to join the Sith. If you're a nice person IRL, this is your opportunity to not be a nice person and no one actually gets harmed ;)

 

[Richie B.]

@buenosnothing join the Jedi you get to have the moral high ground no matter what because reasons

 

[Elijah Brockway]

Go Sith, so that we can enjoy brutally murdering you.

To save the galaxy.

=D

[Richie B.]

See the Jedi are always the good guys even when they threaten to kill Sith :p

 

[Elijah Brockway]

Is Order 66 the one where she takes back the colonies?

That's okay, I'm from Kansas. I don't have to worry about her.

 

[buenosnothing]

Oh my god---y'know, just from the reactions in this thread, I'm starting to lean towards Sith. :'D it's the memes, I'm telling you. Hmmmmm. A very tough choice indeed.

 

[Deviant]

Sith! Sith! Sith!

The Jedi are just a bunch of self-righteous chumps, so why join them when you can join a band of self-righteous egomaniacs?
Really, though, the Sith are the best. You can do whatever you want, and get away with it. It's surprisingly fun if you try it out.

 

[SirNoodles]

Or you could branch out and join (drum roll)

THE EXCHANGE

 

[Gian Greydragon]

Why not both?

 

[SirNoodles]

You're only allowed in one main faction at a time

 

[Gian Greydragon]

Oh, damn. I wasn't aware of that. Lol. I probably read right over that checking out the rules when I rejoined.

 

[buenosnothing]

Blast, I'm falling really fast towards the Dark Side, oh noOo :eek: how can I say no to doing whatever I want lmao--

But it's possible to also do the Exchange at the same time right? So how 'bout both? ;)

 

[Gian Greydragon]

Do I smell an ex-Jedi Padawan turned hardcore criminal? *nudge nudge* Lol.

In all seriousness though, the Dark Side is the place to be. Quoting @RedneckLoves, the cookies are phenomenal. The occasional force choking of some peon is a good laugh too.

 

[Deviant]

Not necessarily.
You can make up to three characters, so you can make one for the Exchange and one for the Sith.

The Sith tho... why not?

 

[Eccles]

You're not allowed to ask that question.

Consider yourself drafted into the Sith Brotherhood.
