Ever write a character from a fringe Force tradition?

Blackthorne

She of the Trillion Thorns
Two Dathomiri witches for me. Admittedly Loxa has drifted from their source of magicks for something a bit more custom due to her being heavily influence by not one, but two religious-zealot-major factions.

That would be the Ysanna. I believe they're still on Ossus.

Ooooh, thank you. If you'll excuse me, I need to spend an hour or so looking at that list.
 

Marmora

I've currently two such character, one of whom you're interacting with in a thread.

Marmora is a Sayormi Witch and Lady Preshea is a Shaper of Kro Var

Yup. Ysanna. I had one of them, a Matukai that made his own subsect, a Dathomiri witch, Jensaarai, and a few others. After giving it real thought, I have done several. But I find that certain aspects of the lesser known, makes it more difficult to take them far. For Dathomiri, I took Sno and changed her into something new, that combined Sith and Datho magics. My Ysanna never really went anywhere, as after a dozen threads he still hadn't gotten a Master...just might bring him back. He was very interesting. The Matukai Sin'Die were a thing for a few months but didn't do much. Zaiden was my Jensaarai, even being Saarai Kaar for a time. So he went places. Have had 3 Shapers..

Basically any idea that sounds cool I either have given a try, or want to in the future lol. I am not always sticking to the basic Sith Jedi debacle.
 
This character was raised ten thousand years ago in a polytheistic religion where force users were believed to be blessed/cursed by their gods. Because of the nature of her birth and species, she was named after one of them and believed to be the avatar of her.

That group no longer exists, as the tail end of her life before the oubliette saw to her triggering a series of natural disasters leading to a complete mass extinction of sentient life on the planet.

She is currently adapting to modern times with Corvus Raaf.

[member="Mara D'Lessio Merrill"] recounting and it is 40 but the one I most liked was the Ta-Ree because it isn't something you can take and teach others in the galaxy. It is only taught and usable in a certain region of space and understanding that. Having a jedi like Matsu who prides herself sometimes a little to much on the infinite ability to learn and teach encounter something that can't be taught on Ossus or Voss or to a class. She can't go to the jedi and show she knows how to do these things and learned it unless she stays in one place. Conflict for someone who loves to move around the galaxy.

Not really a force tradition, but I've been writing Kiffar for a really long time. One day when my characters begin to dwindle in number I really want to write a traditional Kiffar Tribal, focuses heavily on psychometry and is all about the culture.

Is that relevant or am I babbling?
Kiffar are the best!
 
My original character way back in the day was a Shard in an astromech droid that bummed around with the Aing-Tii for a while. At first it was just to get access to their drive systems (the old site was pretty much pure anarchy in the beginning, and any advantage that would help you get a leg up was worthwhile), but after a while I started diving deep into their philosophy, or at least as deep as I could, given what was known at the time. Made for some really odd storylines.

I think my first attempt at a fringe force tradition was the Shapers of Kro Var. I was one of the first to attempt it, even going so far as to legitimately crossover Avatar the Last Airbender to Chaos (don't look at me like that, I was young and stupid three years ago). When that didn't go over well, I went legit and made a minor faction for a while that made a few cool stories but ultimately didn't go very far.

Otherwise everything's been a unique variation of Sith, with the occasional Jedi that gets no more than 20-50 posts before being abandoned out of boredom.

Until Zambrano the Hutt. Although he started out as a psychopathic murderer who fit right in comfortably with the rest of the Sith, he is now part of something completely different: The Seekers of the Rift. It's an original order within the Primeval that adheres to a simple mission, to open the eyes of the blind. The blind of course, are all those who do not know the truth that is Sargon, the main deity of the Primeval faith. There are three sects within the Riftseekers, and he is a Riftborne. A Riftborne serves Balagoth the Dead One, the second creation of Sargon the Tongueless Speaker, and is the god of Chaos and Change, not necessarily death. The other sects are Riftwalker and Riftsinger, who serve Halrarmenth the Broken Creator and Nogras the Starmaker. Riftwalkers use subterfuge and any means to convert, while Riftsingers seek to enlighten.

This character uses blood magick that is very very similar to Dathomiri magick (except I can only use it on things that has blood within it), and given his unique outlook on the Force (he believes in his own subsect of the Primeval faith that I have named as L'ans Zodou, which is basically legit Voodoo, not the hollywood exaggeration... Z Hutt just happens to be a physcopath) he has become the farthest thing from standard.

It's fun stuff!
 
The Admiralty
Ysanna, Matukai, Keetael, Gray Paladin. Trying my hand with some Warden of the Sky at the moment.

Tried Sorcerers of Rhand... wasn't as fun as I was expecting. I am probably forgetting some stuff too.

I'm a Tinker, I tinker with things
On my old board I played a Frozian which is a cat like species that was sadly going extinct due to their planet being destroyed. I retired her character but she will always be my favorite.
