    Because while Pure Raw energy can be enough in some cases it can still be trumped by a more refined force user. For example Anakin had loads of force power, but Obi-Wan who has significantly less stalemated him. This is because Obi-Wan refined his talents in the force while Anakin was straight forward and blunt. Kar Vastor is another example of someone with immense force potential, but was beat by Mace because Mace outsmarted him and used his environment. Even then while being amped by the forest Vastor barely beat Mace. A more refined force user can beat a raw force user eight times out of ten. Dooku being another example of a refined force user that made others look like fools in terms of telekinesis.

    There is not always a trade off as there hasn't been shown to be. Before even being coached by Qu Rahns ghost, Kyle Katarn was already tapping into his force abilties and using them, and with time he would've learned to master them on his own. Ferus Olin who hadn't used the force in years is someone who came back and taught himself to reuse it. Bane was using his force abilities way before he got trained under the Sith and I think all these individuals would've progressed a bit more slowly without being trained but they still would've been able to become powerful force wielders without a cost. The force can do alot of things but it can't change someones body like that, and whats the point in being a brute. No force religion thinks in terms of just brute strength, and even then size doesn't matter when it comes to the force. And even with esoteric force powers such as time travel, teleportation and such force users are far from invincible. Even immortal Force Users can be defeated Abeloth being a prime example. Equating Star wars to marvel and dc are not good examples as both of those comic book companies are known for making characters hundreds of times more powerful then they really should be. Star Wars is different from them, and even if marvel makes the comics now, it is still directed by Lucasfilms, and the Lucas story group which won't allow marvel to do the same things that they did to their own comics.

    I'm not sure that's totally true. My character's hate cannot exist without love. He hates goodness because he sees it as a mockery and a taunting reminder of what he already destroyed. And in trying to destroy love and goodness, he is also trying to destroy that within himself. If the traces of his goodness and love can be extinguished, his anger and regret will be extinguished as well. Subconsciously, this is truly what he wants - a neutral, zero state.

    The force is superior and demands our respect and devotion. The Sith are practitioners of the dark side of the force, it's what defines us. ;)

    What are our opinions of Darth Millennial? This is the individual that: disagreed with the rule of two, he started his own religion called the 'Dark Force', and was a self-proclaimed prophet of the dark side. I find him a fascinating character and I think information on Millennial and his abilities are scarce. So what do we think of him? :D

    A promising figure but ultimately just a troublemaker. Not only did he did not slay the Master he disagreed with, but he fled, and made no progress in eliminating her in all his many later years, thus his religion only served to keep any promising force-users he could find away from teachers he knew to be more powerful then himself. He made matters worse then Kaan or Bane.

    Thats true I suppose. He really does seem like a powerful force user but also a coward that recked havoc and wasted a lot of dark side potential, but I do like the mystery surrounding him. :D

    I love how much he got wrong, and taught us a lot about farseeing and how you should not rely upon it. That the three eyed man to bring them to their greatest extent were frauds like Trioculus and Triclops.

    His separate Sith Order was impressive, but at the same time fatally flawed as it was not martial enough. All it could do was run when the Sith turned on it.

    I think his separate religion he created would have worked very well in conjunction with the Sith Order, combining his prophetic teachings with the martial nature of the Sith. But I guess it didn't plan out like that... [face_sigh]

    Well Kadann was right, and Sidious laughed in his face. Which is a shame, to be fair. But at least Lumiya imposed the Rule of Two again.

    Nice CS Durarara. I wonder if your lineage traces back to Darth Ruin... But, you do not aspire to become a Sith Apprentice DurararaFTW, and thereby become a Sith Lord?

    I will take the opportunity to update my own Character Sheet.

    Character Sheet

    Name: Darth Dreadwar (born Ku'ar Danar)
    Age: 3,187 years old
    Sex: Male
    Race/Species: Human
    Weight: 185
    Height: 6' 2"
    Physical Description: Dreadwar is a Sith spirit bound to the planet of Mobus. However, he is able to achieve a simulacrum of physicality through the Force phantom technique. His preferred appearance is of a tall, athletic form, with pale skin, high cheekbones, deep-set blazing red-yellow eyes, closely shaven dark brown hair, and a Sith brand - the Eye of Korriban - on the forehead.
    Clothing: A black helmet of an open design, and over his forehead is a shining black metal plate, bearing the same Sith symbol as the hidden brand beneath, and a grey-black metal serpent with demonic red eyes. Grayish shining metal covers his arms, and his chest bears a black breastplate trimmed with blood red lines, in the design of a chiseled strongman's form. Then there is the short red kilt in traditional Korribani style, trimmed with black, leaving legs somewhat bare to the knee; lower legs and feet are clad with boot/sandal hybrids shining black and red. On his back is a cloak of the same colours.
    Weapons: Dreadwar utilises an ancient lightsaber more commonly used in the days preceding the Scourge of Malachor. With a fluctuating, unstable blade the colour of blood, this lightsaber of twisted, rusted black cortosis sports a crossguard, allowing Dreadwar to not only block lightsabers with the energy vents, but to deactivate them altogether if contact with the cortosis quillon is made.
    Skills & Abilities: Immensely powerful with the Force and a master of Sith wizardry, Dreadwar is well versed in every conventional power, and boasts a repertoire of more recondite abilities. He specialises in Sith illusions and similar applications such as creating Force phantoms, mental powers including memory rubs, and necromancy including essence transfer, summoning Sith spirits and reanimating Korriban zombies. Combat applications of the Force tend to revolve around his favourite arcane weapons: Deadly Sight and Force Drain. However, heralding from an era in which lightsabers were rarely used against opponents with blasters, Dreadwar's lightsaber skills are limited to Form II Makashi; nonetheless, much like his successor Tulak Hord, Dreadwar is more than proficient in its use.

    Personality: Dreadwar is a cynical rationalist with deep scientific passions and equally deep misanthropy. He is utterly amoral and empty inside, and eternally bored, adopting and casting aside many different identities to extricate as much amusement and experience from life that he can. Ultimately, he hopes to remake the universe in his own image, ridding the galaxy of death and forging a perfect society. To that aim he brings a ruthless, diamond-like clarity of mind infamous for its ability to exploit even the smallest circumstances or weakest powers to their zenith.
    Bio: Ku'ar Danar was born on Kashyyyk in 7,024 BBY, to an isolated human family on a world otherwise dominated by savage but noble Wookiees. For most of the first twelve years of his life he knew no one outside of his mother and father, as they eked out a living in the Shadowlands in the bowels of a dead wroshyr tree. At age three his talents had manifested; when his pet Tach died, he was briefly able to reanimate it. Thereby convincing the greater tribe of backwards human colonists he was a demigod, Danar's fortune turned ill when the creature, not resurrected but increasingly a shambling skeleton, began to attack the other tribesfolk; decried as demonspawn, Danar and his parents were forced to flee. After his mother and father died when Danar was 12, believed to be starvation but in reality through Danar unwittingly draining them of life to sustain himself, he left his bleak existence and the Shadowlands, meeting the Wookiees living in their tree-cities above and, by luck or the will of the Force, a Jedi Knight.

    Danar was taken as one of several pupils by said Knight, training on Kashyyyk, Felucia, Koros Major, Tython and Ossus. A deeply suspicious and pragmatic youth, Danar's advancement was stalled by his approach to the Force as a mere tool, and manipulative, troubled behaviour, despite his intensely studious nature. While his fellows passed the Trials, Danar was left behind, impatient and frustrated, but becoming increasingly adept at acting the part of the good, disciplined Jedi Padawan. Ultimately, Danar was assigned to a Jedi exploration team alongside his Master, the surveying and mapping of new worlds being his unconventional Trials. Eager to contribute, Danar, now a Jedi Knight, poured into the Archives, increasingly intrigued by connections that didn't add up, references to marauding fleets of devils and gods with crimson skin, and whispers of an ancient horror. Under the pretext of routine surveying, Danar sojourned to Malachor V with his team, finding the Trayus Academy that paved the way to Korriban. Stumbling upon the Sith species that had informed the legends that had so mesmerised him, Ku'ar tarried awhile to study Sith sorcery under the high priest of the Darth cult, Dathka Graush. Coming upon the Valley of the Sleeping Kings and the Great Temple, devoted to the ancient, apocalyptic deities that were the eldritch Immortal Gods of the Sith, Danar was inexorably drawn to the dark side, and upon communion with the ruinous Sith Pantheon was christened Darth Dreadwar. Butchering his fellow Jedi to hide the secret of his betrayal, Dreadwar began working to perpetuate the designs of the Dark Pantheon in order to further his own ambitions.
    While Dreadwar aided Graush in his bid to become King of two-thirds of Korriban, in true Sith tradition he arranged for the assassination of his master in order to obtain Graush's secrets of immortality. Fleeing the wrath of Dathka's heir Hakagram, Dreadwar returned to Malachor V to rendezvous with the Pantheon's foremost servant, Darth Cruor, in order to enact a darker and grander purpose.

    Seeking to stealthily corrupt and repurpose the entire Jedi Order as a dark side hammer by which they could shatter the spine of the galaxy, the Pantheon directed Dreadwar and Cruor to instigate schism. While dozens were tempted to the dark side, their efforts to spread their newfound teachings to the Council failed, and the Heresiarch Jedi were banished, their quest for vengeance beginning the Hundred-Year Darkness. Neither Dreadwar nor Cruor played a direct role in the conflict, with Cruor instead raising Veeshas Tuwan on Arkania, and Dreadwar similarly furthering True Sith presence through his subjugation of the Nilrebmah system. But Dreadwar's efforts represented more than just satiation of personal ambition, but rather, alongside the workings of the Sith sorceress Vahl on Ambria, an attempt by the imprisoned Pantheon to elevate two of their servants to godhood in an effort to ensure there would be at least two Sith deities in the physical plane. Conceived in haste born of opportunity, the attempts met varying success, with Vahl's ritual cleansing Ambria of life, but resulting in her own destruction as well. Dreadwar attempted to move Nilrebmah XIII from its orbit and tether his essence to it upon consuming its population, and while the process completed, empowering his spirit to terrible and deific heights, his body was annihilated and his spirit trapped inside the monolith he had raised to accomplish his ritual, only the Great Temple of Korriban allowing a line of communion with the galaxy outside of the Nilrebmah system.

    The rise of Darth Vitiate millennia later opened discord in the Pantheon, with Dreadwar opposing Vitiate's flagrant grab for power, raising Naga Sadow as a Darth to oppose Vitiate's malignance. Yet knowledge of the Jedi and Republic gleaned from Sadow's communion with Dreadwar's spirit trapped on Nilrebmah only served to drive Sadow's personal ambition, and Sadow broke from the tutelage of both his masters, Simus and Danar to chase his own designs, beginning the Great Hyperspace War that would bring the Jedi and Republic down upon the Old Sith Empire. Dreadwar, having foreseen Vitiate's ultimate defeat, manipulated one of Kun's Brotherhood to liberate his spirit from the Nilrebmah monolith during the Great Sith War, and with the vast energy released that resulted in the destruction of Nilrebmah XII and XIII, followed a group of adventurers that had been decoupled from time into the far future to when he perceived the Pantheon would return. Thus, Darth Cruor alone remained as emissary of the True Sith, while Dreadwar's spirit rode through the ravenous currents of time to emerge in 4 ABY.

    Nilrebmah having been lost to him, Dreadwar's spirit descended upon the planet Mobus, draining the lifeforce of its population to anchor his spirit to the world. Fashioning planetary hyperdrives to afford his magnificence mobility, Dreadwar dedicated his prodigious intellect to affording himself greater sway over the physical world. Rediscovering the technique of Force phantom creation, Dreadwar was thus able to act as representative of the Pantheon, creating a force for the True Sith beyond the Nihil Retreat composed of Super Star Destroyers stolen from Byss and hordes of Korriban zombies. The Infinite Sith Empire was taking shape again as a cohesive regime deep in the Unknown Regions, Dreadwar gathering all evil to him and uniting the bulk of the Rhandite remnant with the Rakatan Archipelago through the efforts of Raspir, the court magician of Adas who had been recently freed by the Rakatan Elder Ruthic on Tulpaa. He was forced to act with terrible sloth as the Pantheon decreed, so as not to reveal themselves to rival Sith groups that, by 145 ABY, had come to settle in the Unknown Regions as well. Succeeding in crafting avatar bodies for his deific masters, Venomis and Nemesis, this neophyte Triumvirate confronted the Acolytes of Darkness in the Mobus system, yet Dreadwar, for all his power, was laid low by the cunning of Darth Insipid, who trapped him in a Rakatan mind trap.

    Freed over a decade later, Dreadwar was left not only bereft of much of his once immense power, but increasingly disillusioned with the Pantheon, as he came to realise they desired to destroy the galaxy, not rule it. By rite of Force phantom, Dreadwar was able to successfully continue to play the role of trusted Infinite Sith emissary, even while he began to ally himself with the New Sith Order he had once opposed, helping weave the disparate Sith groups of Acolytes and its Imperium, Dominion, Dragons and Obscurum into a another Sith Triumvirate, ultimately coming to rule this Sith Empire and its Knights of the New Sith Order alongside Lords Insipid and Haretisch. Now, as of 165 ABY, Dreadwar hopes to magnify his title of Sith Emperor to Galactic Emperor, even while he must continue to act the role of trusted servant of the Infinite Sith Pantheon.


    Its use is a superior method to achieve power, yes, but does it deserve respect? We are not Sorcerers of Rhand, or Prophets of the Dark Side. In my mind, the Force is but an energy field, the dark side merely a term the ignorant give to its unrestrained, true nature, and while should be attended to and pondered on as the central pillar of our philosophy, is ultimately a tool we use to impose our will on reality.
    His religious devotion to the dark side, I could do without. We are not servants of the Force, dark side or no, as the Jedi pretend to be. We are its masters. The Force must be broken as a beast of burden, to draw on the wisdom of Darth Plagueis. It is not a dark god to be worshipped as the almost-Satanist Prophets seemed to do. As for Millennial as a character, he offers an interesting contrast to traditional Sith ideology - almost a selfless devotion to evil - but he himself is a cowardly Sith who did nothing to further the Grand Plan. Good name, bad Sith, I say.

    On another note: My Lords and Ladies, apprentices and Peons of the Sith, make ready yourselves! Soon we shall be leaving this Academy, this world of Daritha, and settling elsewhere. That's right, soon we shall have a new thread ladies and gentlemen! The New Sith Order shall claim its deserved position as an Empire in name not only in fact, and its shadow shall spread across all the Boards... [face_skull]

    My lords and vassals.

    Today the Sith Order evolves anew, with a Rule of Three upon an Order of many.

    Today we take a bold step towards our domination of the cosmos.

    Today...
