Question About Darth Revan

So I am wondering if there are any Darth Revan artifacts out there anywhere? Holocrons, his mask, anything worth noting. Any information you might have on the topic would be most helpful!
 
[member="Tirdarius"] yeah I went and looked and it was like November 8th lol. If I was not being so damned lazy I would have seen that.

Eh, the main reason is to try and get away from the Ben Watts persona and take on more of an idea than a person. Darth Revan was always more of a mythical being rather than a person and I was wanting to do the same with Ben. Joining the Sith is my first step at trying to achieve perfect harmony within the force. The force is everything, light and dark, and I am looking to emulate that with Ben. Currently, I was thinking of either A) Going after the whole taking up the Revan persona or B ) Creating my own persona and legend.
 
[member="Ben Watts"] Revan was a legend only because he was so inherently misunderstood: people cared more for what he did than for why he did it. In the end, he was fallible, all too Human, a flawed man with a vision that destroyed him and nearly destroyed everything else, simply because his obsession to do 'the right thing' overtook common sense.

Don't be in too much of a hurry to be a legend!
 
Well that is the point of a good story, right? Ben is and always has been an extremely flawed individual. I am not intending to create a legend because he already is one, to be honest, the point is he is trying to do something that is bigger than him. The thing with Ben is, he was always painted as this completely incorruptible being, a beacon of light. The thing is he was always extremely misunderstood because he put the weight of the world on his shoulders and never had anyone to talk to for fear of looking weak. The irony is he is destroying his own created legend to try and craft a new legend. One where he is no longer the one bearing the weight of the world but the one trying to put the weight on others.

Ultimately, the plan will fail, but right now he is trying to escape his Jedi persona because it never did anything but bring pain and suffering into his life. He was never allowed to mourn the loss of his friends, father, mentors, etc. He is finally allowing himself to mourn and he is embracing the idea that the force is everything, both light and dark, so he is going to the Sith to try and find true harmony and balance within the force.

[member="Ben Watts"] Hah, you won't find that among the Sith. We're not beings of harmony: we live to fight chaos, and so we walk the lines where there is nothing but chaos in our wake. The tranquility of the Jedi is certainly closer to that, but both groups are misguided, ultimately. It'll be interesting seeing your character learn those lessons.

For the love of the Force and all that is good and proper in this universe and the next, option B. Go for option B. Too many people have tried to do the "I'm gonna be Revan" thing and come out looking like charlatans and fools at the end of it.

It's going to be an an extremely interesting chain of events. I'm going more for a power grab type of sith as opposed to chaos and destruction. The power is there but the will to be corrupted is not. By that I just mean he thinks he can control the dark side. We all know how that usually turns out
 
[member="Ben Watts"] - Become your own legend... There are plenty in the Galaxy willing to help in that ascent.

Besides, the lightsaber alone bankrupted a planet... If you take it up, the galactic version of like... Unicef or something.... Might just come after you..
