Dark Wanderer Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 In KOTOR 1, most people seems to have been generally displeased by the Dark Jedi and Sith we encountered there, since most of them were just thugs with the possible exceptation of a few of them. And a few days ago we received information about his Darth Sion, althrough that didn't seem to make most people any happier; "sounds like just another Darth Bandon"-like comments where mostly heard as far as I remember ;p. So, this is the question... What kind of Sith Lord or Sith would you like to meet in the game? What background might he/she have, what reasons, what kind of person is he/she etc? I've throught up my own idea on a Sithlord that might be good... Darth Kor. Many worlds got attacked by the Mandalorians and Sith during the Mandalorian war, and Kor's world was one that got involited in the battles. during one of these, a small group of Sith attacked Kor's home. Kor did his best to defend his home and family, but what can a normal person do against a couple of force users? Kor ended up mortally wounded and had to watch as the Sith killed his father and raped, tortured and killed his mother and two sisters. At that moment, a spark of uinforgiving hatred was born in Kor. After the Sith had left, he managed to survive his wounds whereas most would have died, mostly thanks to his hatred which urged him to survive. As soon as he'd recovered enough, he set out to find the Sith that had destroyed his family. He found them, sure enough and managed to finish off quite a few of them. But eventually, he was found out by the leader of that group, who was a Sith Lord who put a stop to him. But as the Sith Lord was about to finish him off, he saw the great hatred there was in Kor's eyes and gave him the usual sith offer: join us or die! Kor choose to live to take revenge and thus he became the apparentice of the Sith Lord. Through the years, Kor's strenght grew in power thanks to his great hatred. This hatred was, however directed at the Sith themselves. He could enver stop hating them for what they had done and if he got the chance to kill a sith, he did so. However, as he was made aware of the events surronding the war,a hatred as great as that he carried towards the Sith also gre in him, directed at the Republic and the Jedi. After all, both of these had choosen to remain passive, just looking at how the war went as it's victims suffered. The war went on and Kor fought through many battles of it, slaying sith, republic soldiers and Jedi alike. His hatred and ability for learning quickly made him a formidable opponent and one whom many on both sides spoke about in fear. In the end, he killed his own master as Sith tradition decribes that it should be done, thus taking the sith title for himself. As this happened, roughly around the same time that Malak rose to power, Kor left the Sith, taking a small, carefully select number of followers with him, most of them being people who had suffered from the war in much the same way he has, and fled to another planet where he has put up his headquarter. Nowadays, he is as powerul as ever and still has contact with the other Sith Lords and help them occasinally in their schemes, through even the other dark lords heistate to get him involited anyhow, since he is just as happy to kill other sith as he is to kill jedi and others serving the Republic. Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
Archmonarch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Inspector Gadget. Sorry, I couldnt help myself. Oh, almost forgot to talk about your post. I like the idea of a sith who hates all other sith. Unique in an almost uniform way, if you can understand where Im coming from. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 That sounds good except survivng on hate sounds like a rehash of the Sion information, but the rest was well done, some might say trite, but I liked it...
Dark Wanderer Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 That sounds good except survivng on hate sounds like a rehash of the Sion information, but the rest was well done, some might say trite, but I liked it... Heh, well, it was my first idea and it wasn't that overlooked, so if I worked on it again, it'd probably be soemwhat different :9. There's some differecne between Sion and my made-up Sith Lord, through; from the description we got, Sion uses hatred to survive everyday; Kor only did so when he was wounded, but he doesn't survive on it, not nowadays. But he carry his hatred within himself, so to speak and it is his greatest reason for never truly taking any side in the battle between the Sith and the Jedi/Republic, but what else is there to expect if you hate both your enemies and so-called allies? . Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
Archmonarch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 How is he a Sith Lord if he has supposedly split off into into a splinter group? And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had

Sorry, I just inferred that from: Through the years, Kor's strenght grew in power thanks to his great hatred. It sounded as if he thrived on it...does he?
Dark Wanderer Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Professor Gadget. Sorry, I couldnt help myself. Don't worry, I was prepared for something like that Oh, almost forgot to talk about your post. I like the idea of a sith who hates all other sith. Unique in an almost uniform way, if you can understand where Im coming from. Hmm, I don't quite understand, but thanks anyway How is he a Sith Lord if he has supposedly split off into into a splinter group? Well, as far as I've understood the Sith, their ways works much like this: "If you can take this, then it's yours, assuming that you can keep it afterwards too". He slew his master, so traditionally he has a right to the title. And no one has challenged him and survived yet so his claim remains unquestioned. Plus, that he works together with the other Sith close enough (even if he is hardly seen as a relyable ally) for the others to reknogize his claim on the title. Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
QalOrt Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Does my male causcasion Guardian Soldier longhaired pretty boy DS Darth Revan Count? If not than My Sith Lord would not be sith but Krath. Krath Lord Ordos! His Girl was taken away and brainwashed by the Republic and now is the Republic generals jedi girlfriend. He now is on a mission to get her back, slaughter the Republic and anything that stands in his way.
Archmonarch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 That would anger me as well, Qalort. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Dark Wanderer Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 It sounded as if he thrived on it...does he? You mean if he came to sorta enjoy it? Nah, that's not it. His hatred is a cold one and unlike most other Sith (and practucally unlike all thugs we encountered in KOTOR 1 ) he doesn't take out his hatred on others unnecressiarily. Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Good, more depth=more realism I want a Godfather-esque persona, he doesn't have to be evil though, which goes against this topic though...
Archmonarch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Exactly, the Godfather wasnt evil. It was just the nature of the business that people got whacked left and right. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 He really wasn't evil, just self destructed with some bad decisions, and plus, they went against the family; if you do that, you deserve to be whacked...
Archmonarch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I love those movies. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Dark Wanderer Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 Heh, gotta admit that I've not seen any of the Godfather movies . I've played a few gangster-games through, and I'll agree.. Being a gangster/godfather doesn't make you really evil, but it'll corrupt you, sure enough . And it'll seldom come up with any greater rewards; just remember how old Scarface ended his days Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
Dark Wanderer Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 Tsk. Tsk. Why not? Why not what? Why I've not seen them? *notices that it's starting to get quite off-topic here ) Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
Archmonarch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Some of the greatest movies man has ever made. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Tsk. Tsk. Why not? Why not what? Why I've not seen them? *notices that it's starting to get quite off-topic here ) Yes, why not?
Topaz Quasar Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Good, more depth=more realism I want a Godfather-esque persona, he doesn't have to be evil though, which goes against this topic though... I got one: Darth Sunder: Fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord + Crime Lord. Wields a single red lightsaber. Instead of directly trying to conquer the galaxy, he does it through the criminal underworld with fearsome success. Has a Rodian for an apprentice and a whole network of spies & thugs.
Dead Skin Mask Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 My ideal Sith Lord is Exar Kun. A tortured soul, victimized by both the Sith and the Jedi, unable to repress the Darkness within his own heart, finally Kun embraces the Dark side of the force, and becomes the ultimate vessel of rage and destruction. That was easy. Cheers!
ShinIchiro Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Yah, but he's prettymuch THE sith lord. The ultimate one. Kyp and Ulic are good. Though they aren't exactly lords...
SilverSun Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Kyp had the Sun Crusher too,that always help when you want to go on a crazy rampage and try to destroy the universe.
ShinIchiro Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 But some special sith can destroy stars without it...
