Say if Kayip woke up someday and decided to become a Sith - as well as don black robes and wield a red lightsaber, he could call himself "Darth Kahyeil The Terrible, First of His Name, Dark Lord of The Sith, Emperor of The Seven Moons of Golgotha, The Haunted One, He Who Sees Through The Second Sight, and The Flayer of Minds". [lol]

As for roleplaying, I left the introductions to Naleera because she handled the introductions better than Kayip did. To me, the hardest part about playing Kayip is that he's a good negotiator, and sometimes it's hard to write diplomatic things for him to say when he needs to be diplomatic.

My introduction. More will be added later.

"Announcing the arrival of her imperial hotness, the heir of Revan, Grand Inquisitor of the Sith Empire, Lady of war, Coure of mischief and strife, keeper of forbidden lore, captain of the intergalactic house of pancakes, five time winner of Sith Weekly's 'Galactic Dictator of the Year' award, wearer of bunny ears and professor of law, slayer of star-dragons, conqueror of worlds, and punter of Ewoks, her grace, magnificence, and general being better than you-ness, Artoria Thiel I, the supremely, superbly, superiorly splendiferous!"

If the Empire thing doesn't work, we could at least make a limited liability corporation.

That reminds me, what's our legal status in the Republic? Are we unknowns right now, or wanted fugitives? I guess we could always incorporate in Hutt Space to avoid taxes in any case.

They've probably passed the anti-sith bill by this point, so we're probably considered enemies of the state.

Ah, but assuming that's even happened in this timeline (Dark Side rather than Light Side Revan) that would outlaw the religion itself only. I'm wondering more if we can expect to go visit Coruscant without triggering a red alert as soon as a security camera picks us up. Obviously the jig is up if we put on black robes.

Shit, that made me think of something else. Since there hasn't been a Jedi purge yet, then that means there must be a lot more of those dudes out there too. Would suck/be hilarious if we have to fight off not just Sith who are dogging us around the galaxy, but Jedi [lol]

Coterie is the word they use for the "party" in Vampire games. It seemed appropriate here, though in dialog I encourage you to use whatever term you see fit.

Yes, just one year before the purge began.

I was under the impression our group operated mostly outside the Republic territories, and so didn't have to worry about the Republic jurisdiction.

It's not like a security camera is going to pick up the Dark Side. The Republic security forces would need Jedi to do that. I do like the idea of our group getting into a tangle with Jedi, though if we had to fight the Jedi, that would really test Kayip's loyalties. Maybe if the Jedi said "durrr he not one of us, so he against us" and attacked him, he'd probably feel better about killing a Jedi if it's in self-defense.

[up]Of course, that's why I didn't mention anything about the dark side. Rather, since Star Wars is a bit of an awkward Sci-Fi setting in that it is futuristic but based off of 1970's society (where things like facial recognition software and such are nonexistent), I was wondering if visiting a Republic world was ever doable. Like if there's "Sith watch lists". We might never decide to go to one of their planets, but it's good to know ahead of time whether or not one third of the known galaxy is off-limits.

If you don't dress obviously like Sith and are wary of things like Jedi Watchmen, you'll be fine.

Do we?tongue

"During the rule of the Sith Triumvirate, the Watchmen had been extinct for decades, with Meetra Surik, under the alias of the Jedi Exile, being the first to show interest in the role since the start of the First Jedi Purge."
But I think it might be good to sweep that little bit of canon under the rug for the sake of fun. Plus, I mean, it'd be like upholding a Star Wars tradition - how many times have we had Jedi be extinct, only to have dozens suddenly pop up for a video game, book, or TV show?[lol]

Yeah, I like the idea of Watchmen, so they're in.

Also it's important to note that Revan's Infinite Fleet beat back the Republic before he disappeared, significantly shrinking their territory. The Republic is in the process of reestablishing control over many planets, though the major ones are taking precedent. Therefore the backwaters, particularly those furthest from the core, are likely not under Republic law, and may infact have a Sith presence in some cases (see Klovaan).

So I was right about our group working outside Republic borders.

Good, so we don't have to worry about the Jedi Council itself. Meeting some lone Jedi Watchmen in this roleplay sounds like fun. evil grin

I doubt they'd have a Sith academy in the heart of the Republic, so that was never in question[lol]

But knowing is half the battle, because the majority of Republic/Jedi threats our characters face - should they ever venture around - will likely also be threats Kane and co. have to deal with, in case we ever feel like using it to our advantage because we really want some fresh ale from Corellia.evil grin

If we meet a watchman, we should probably let him or her be. If we kill them, it will make it easier for us, but also easier for Kane.

...Lead Kane into a republic ambush. I love it.

So, what's the theme songs of your characters?

My pick for Kayip Bir is "Dead Souls" by Joy Division.

nman Since: Mar, 2010
#116: Sep 27th 2014 at 12:38:19 AM

Interesting idea. While I think on that, why'd you pick that one in particular for Kayip?

JumpinJackFlash Since: Aug, 2014
#117: Sep 27th 2014 at 12:48:30 AM

Joy Division are one of my all time favourite bands, so that was a deciding factor. It's also because I thought their brooding, claustrophobic atmosphere and the nervous energy driving their songs suited Kayip's character really well.

Fear is simultaneously a weapon used by Kayip and a thing he struggles with regularly, and the narrator of "Dead Souls" is haunted by paranoia. I interpreted the lyrics within the context of his character. The lyrics in the verses suggest his internal torment - including trauma from the past - while the chorus is Kayip hearing the call of The Force, particularly the Dark Side.

Everyone inside yet?

Also I think I'll settle for this for Zev, mainly cause I like the band and don't feel like churning through any more songs... but also because it's about being purportedly neutral or something while also beating the shit out of people.

"And our new leader... Lady Artoria Thiel"?

I don't know whether to facepalm or buy popcorn for the ensuing duel between Artoria and Nalreera. evil grin

JumpinJackFlash Since: Aug, 2014
#121: Sep 27th 2014 at 5:37:19 PM

Kayip needed to name someone as a group leader to show that our group had order. The Sith lady would probably assume that, if our group had no leader, it has no direction and therefore no strength.

The pedant inside me demands I point out that Thiel was distracted then decapitated by Kane, rather than shot by his guard. Otherwise, I think you got everything.

I think this is Artoria.

It's about how all her life, she's been forced to serve narrow-minded tyrants, and deep down, she's still a slave, because she's haunted by those experiences. She finally gets some form of freedom when Thiel finds her, and now Kane wants to make her a slave again. So she more or less decides "I'm having precisely none of this shit!" She's determined to fight for her freedom; she'll die before she gives it up, and by fighting, she's leaving her past behind, taking her own chances, and making her own choices.

[up][up][up][up][up]Buy popcorn. Being part Echani, Artoria will insist on fighting an Echani-style duel.

That means no weapons and no clothing that would inhibit movement.

Though that could border on fan disservice depending on... Well, you'll (possibly) see.
