[Star Wars Saga] The Sith Want You!

I don't have a problem with it - I'm not sure it's confirmed, but it's the only reason beyond "we like the live ones for torturing out our Sithy evil ya-yas on" that makes sense. One of the cool things about the Sith is that if they can tick off Jedi enough they're right smack on with a brand new evil Sithy recruit. And if the Jedi don't come around the Sith still get to play out their power/torture fetishes on the serene masters of soon-to-be-dead resisting Jedi. I'm guess it's win/win, it's apparently a lot harder to come back to the light side than it is to trip and fall into a tattoo shop.

I'm thinking that Kered will be captured by a bounty hunter, tortured. Eventually felt let down that his Jedi master didn't come to rescue him and began to fall into the dark side. Once he started falling, he fell fast. I may actually change one of his talents to reflect his anger at the Jedi Order.

Str is 12 base with a +2 level adjustment, making it 14. So it would cost 4. You did say that in Saga 2 abilities get the level adjustment right?

:confused: You are totally right, of course!

I'll now go back to bed because apparantly I need the sleep very badly. :o

I think converting was only a nice side-benefit. The main reason he wanted Jedi alive was because he wanted to learn about the unknown Jedi "drawing life back from death".

I think I saw that there are supposed to be something like a thousand Sith around by the time of Legacy though, given how long it takes to train competent Sith minions I just can't see them not looking for the shortcut of converting what Jedi they can manage. That's the whole point of the Temptation Sith Lord power after all, and being a Sith is all about shortcuts to power.
 

Well, Wookiepedia, has the nice Ostrander quote "We haven't come up with a definite number [for the Sith] but it's certainly over 1,000, probably over 10,000…", so they not really hurting for numbers.

Krayt seems to think a bit different, too. His main concern are bringing order to the galaxy and extending his own lifespan (because he is the one able to do it). Shortcuts to power seems to be the way of the old (Palpatine's) Sith.

Check out my backstory for me. Let me know what you think and how I can make it better. Please.

Looks good so far.

Comments:

- Jedi Academy is now called Jedi Praxeum

- There was no fighting for the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The Jedi were allowed to leave on express order from Emperor Fel. (The Sith let this happen because they knew many of them would converge on Ossus.)

- Better make the torture time weeks. Apparently we are still in the same year Ossus fell and this would allow for some additional Sith re-training (in game terms: levels of Sith apprentice).
 


This is a work in progress, but I wanted to get something up. I will update this post as I get more done. The character is a kel dor who focuses on force powers rather than lightsaber combat. My thought on his "brand of evil" is Menace but I'll leave the name to you Shaggy.

I have purposely avoided using his name because I don't think he will even acknowledge his none Sith name, to him that is his true and only name. If you like I can give him a name beyond the Sith one you pick out but for now I'll keep as is.

[sblock=Background]He began his jedi training once he was an adult. He never quite took to the jedi tradition or its teachings. He favoured using his powers to overwhelm his opponents rather than use his lightsaber and he was far too free with his use of those powers. The jedi teach that one is never to use the force to harm another, yet he found he was loved using his powers to lord over others, loved causing mayhem and destruction with his powers. Their was one master who greatly disapproved of him and tried to have him expelled during the earliest stages of his training, but failed. When it came time for him to be assigned to a single master for training, the master who disapproved of him insisted on being his instructor.

This master was very hard on him, constantly scolding and lecturing him. When his tendacies to abuse his powers only got worse, the master again tried to have him expelled. Finally, he went too far. They had captured a suspected Sith traitor and well the master was busy looking in to prisoner's records, he decided to "interrogate" the suspected spy. He used his powers in terrible ways to torture the prisoner, eventually killing him bu having extracted a signed confession.

The master was furious when he figured out what had been done. It turns out that the masters's research had proven that the prisoner was innocent (having only confessed in desperation to end the torture). The master was furious and demanded that he surrender immediately for trial by the jedi. He refused and the argument became quite heated, to the point that the master drew his lightsaber and threaten to strike him down if he did not surrender. He struck out with force lightning for the first time but the master was to powerful and rebuked the attack back at him. Laid low by his own powers he was taken and tried by the jedi who quickly found him guilty and expelled him from the order (taking his lightsaber) and exiling him from known space.

The master was enraged that he had not been sentenced to death and screamed insisting that his padawan be executed. The council was shocked at the outburst, realizing that in his hatred for his aprentice the master had lost himself to negative emotions and to the darkside. The master too as expelled from the order until such time as he again found his way back to the lightside. Both the master and the apprentice left the order and the jedi have not heard from either since.

An exile, he threw in with a mercenary outfit setting out to the outer rim. He spent the next few years as a mercenary, learning to fight as part of a military squad and traveling the rim worlds and even a few planets beyond the outer rim. Until on a nasty little backwater of a planet he met the woman who would set him on his path. She was a Sith of the New Order, looking for cutthroat mercenaries to recruit as assassins and soldiers. She recognized his powers immediately and set about turning him fully to the darkside. She started by suducing him and then using that sexual influence to push him into more and more depraved act. It really wasn't that difficult, he was bitter, cruel and vindictive already, with a delight in dominating others with his powers. She just fed into those emotions. Soon she was teaching him in the ways of the Sith. The day she guided him in making his own lightsaber, her work was complete and he was reborn as a full apprentice of the Sith. She gave him a new, customized a set of armour and a new name ...[/sblock]
