So.

out of character
---
My apologies for neglecting sithrpg. I won't bother with any kind of excuse or lame reason for absence, but as mentioned last month(and last week to darth_inferna on her personal LJ); I'd like to revive the community. It was a lot of fun to read everyone's entries and tales about their Sith warriors. Plus, I'd like to see more posts & artwork on both here and the_sith. Though, if you plan to post any artwork on sithrpg, obviously it should be related to either the RPG or your character. If you're not artistically inclined, feel free to ask a fellow community member or friend for help. I figure with some kind of visual aid, it would help in getting even further immersed into the ongoing saga. Speaking of our saga, feel free to refer to this post if you need help with a (re)starting point. Thanks again to everyone for their support. I look forward to reading your in-character musings, adventures, and dossiers.

( And now, an In-Character cross-post.Collapse )

In hopes of getting this all rejuvenated, here's the new scenario. If you don't like it or think something needs changed, discuss it here - or if you think it's great, feel free to say that too.

--We won't be time-specific, but somewhere in the Legacy of the Force era (which begins about 40 years after the battle of Yavin). The Sith are supposed to be making a return in that series anyway. The first book is released in May of this year. I think that would be a better time period for a Sith-centric RP that is post-RotJ for that reason and others - for instance, there are not many RPs for this time period, and it would be good to have one.

--Sith, Jedi, and non-Force users (as well as Force users of other types) are all welcome here.

--Canon characters and OCs are also both welcome. OCs should not have significant connections to major canon characters. When in doubt, ask. Minor connections, such as having a business deal 15 years ago with Lando Calrissian, are fine, and connections to minor characters ("I'm the brother of (insert really minor movie or EU character here)") are also fine. But no secret children of Luke Skywalker and whatnot.

--It's AU after the Dark Nest trilogy, but you don't need to have read that or much of the New Jedi Order series, either. That's 22 books total. o_O I can leave a brief summary to get everybody up to date if that's wanted.

--As before, having a separate character journal is optional, but if you don't have one, you should at least have a dedicated icon for each character and use it when appropriate.

--You can have up to 3 characters, but no more than 2 in any group (if you have 2 Sith, then the third has to be something else; likewise if you have 2 Jedi, 2 bounty hunters, etc.)

Game premise:
Over 4 decades ago, Anakin Skywalker, formerly known as Darth Vader, brought balance to the Force. The Dark Side is no longer clouding the light side powers, and the Jedi have gotten more powerful in recent times than they were before the reign of Palpatine and the Jedi Purge. The Sith (and other Dark Side adepts) must work together if they are to destroy the growing new Jedi Order. The Jedi, also, cannot ignore the growing threat of the Sith as they continue to build their own power and influence.

Questions, comments, bitching, and everything else: comment plz. :)

1. If you are still active, please leave a comment. I don't care what you comment, just say something... even "gobble gobble" will work.

2. Most likely we will start over. If you don't like that idea, put that in your comment too and we'll see if there is any opposition to starting over.

3. If you would be willing to play Jedi characters, indicate that too. Having NPC Jedi and NPC leaders is too difficult; we'll probably just work with who we have, and NPCs will be minor characters only.

Any other thoughts, questions, etc. go for it... discuss away.

Infimus sat quietly in his newly built throne room and watched as his servant droids buzzed about he was enjoying being the king a king with nothing to rule though....He knew the other sith were out there it was only a matter of time before they came to hime.....either to steal his power...or do his bidding....he was prepared for both...if they came they would submit to his lightsaber training he awaited their arrival with andticipation
Korriban was where this story would climax...and they would come

There were a couple of days where nothing seemed to make sense.

The entire party on Sarlon had left, and now it was only Deigh and his sith companions. Lord Sidious, who they had all supported but had not seen in a long time, had shown up on Sarlon to pay everyone a visit. He wore no hood, just a bald head full of stringy wisps of white hair, and his eyes were yellow, red, blue, and green. When he looked at you, he wasn't looking at you, he was looking in you.

Sidious had been there when all the rebels were gone, and all the sith had their lightsabers out when they saw him. He didn't take out his lightsaber, but instead just talked. He said it was very important that the band of sith came with him to Korriban, because the rebels had relocated there and were ambushed by all the jedi that were left, and the situation was one of great peril for the rebellion.

Eevn Deigh knew this was a lie, and each and every sith there just stood watching him, not saying a word, holding their lightsabers out in front of them, like they were preparing to keep some wild animal at bay. They had him circled, listening to nothing he said and making no effort to do what he wanted.

It was like this for some time, while Sidious elaborated on his lie, saying urgently that the rebellion needed their help or the jedi would reek havoc on the galaxy.

Eventually it seemed Sidious had given up on the sith, so he drew his lightsaber. The sith looked nervous, glancing at each other for a signal to run away or attack. Then Sidious did this half-barrel flip over Darth Locria, cutting him alittle in the shoulder. Once he was outside the circle, he was as good as gone.

"My hands are vengance, My Eyes Hate"

The Mantra rolled over and over in his head as he stood at the top of Korriban's tallest mountain to look down the Sith Acadamy he had re-built with his own Sweat and Blood. It was his. he would strike back at the jedi for thinking him so easy to manipulate... he knew that the other Sith were out there. He had called to them. and they would come

Infimus sat in meditation feeling the force as he'd never felt it before allowing it to swirl through him and around him....noone was coming...
where did they all go
there hadnt been a true dark lord since palpatine
Infimus would build the new empire
he smiled to himself

"I am the Dark Lord of the Sith" he said aloud and was pleased to hear a voice even if it was his own...

he looked to the statue that marked the tomb of Naga Sadow

"Ive studied the holocrons and i know that you were the greatest of the light saber duelists...if you see me fit to be the dark lord show yourself and teach me"

there were no words...just...instant knowledge, knowledge of combat at its purest form, emotions, passion, hate. they swirled through him and it was overwhelming...his brain felt as if it would explode and before he was sure it would he passed out...

he awoke...days? hours? minutes later? he wasnt sure. Something he was sure of was that Naga Sadow had given him what he wished.

He Truly was the dark lord of the sith...

he stood and pulled his head tails up to rap around his shoulders and neck

It was time to build his empire...and destroy all who would threaten his power.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion
Through passion I gain -strength
Through strength I gain -power
Through power I gain -victory
Through victory my chains are broken
...and the Force shall set me free

Darth Infimus has fallen to the darkside once again and sits in motionless meditation in the tomb of Naga Sadow on Korriban
he contimplates the past and future as well as the present. These images swirl around him images of battle on Korriban...Battle on Yavin. he sits motionless waiting. Waiting for whoever should decide to join him in his meditation. He calls out silently through the force.... "Join me my Brothers and Sisters".

The planet surface was alot worse than deigh had remembered. just walking around in that place felt like you were gonna get sick.

Deigh's ship landed right near a whole cluster of soldiers and scary-looking criminals--some of them Deigh recognized--and all of them came up to greet them when they got out. it wasnt so much of a greeting as a cornering with guns, but once they knew who was coming out of the ship, they went at ease.

Deigh met up with Secruti, a sad old smuggler who had signalled them in for landing. they clasped hands and said their greetings.

Secruti's face went from bad to worse when he saw the bunch that had come out right behind Deigh.

Deigh turned around, and Inferna had the guy locked in a death-look.

"Greetings," she said, still holding onto his eyes, "We are most pleased to join you and your comrades."
