What is a Sith to you

[Judas of Vahl]

Jedi are:

• Individuals who follow the Light side of the Force
• Usually support ideals along the lines of "good"
• Follow tenets such as: Honor, Peace, Serenity, Compassion, Wisdom, etc.

Sith are:

• Individuals who follow the Dark side of the Force
• Usually support ideals along the lines of "bad"
• Follow tenets such as: Power, strength, anger, fear, hatred, etc.

They're Yin and Yang to me. One can't exist without the other and the two primary orders - Jedi Order and the Sith Empire/One Sith - are direct opposites in their beliefs. Whilst Jedi want to serve the galaxy and see their use of the Force as a call to duty to serve it, the Sith yearn to control and command it. They're warrior monks, typically.

On the other hand, Sith are beings who wish to control the Force rather than serve it. They desire for power, lust for strength, and use strong emotions like love, hatred, and anger to get where they want to go. In my opinion, a Sith should use strong emotions to achieve their goals and whatnot. I'm not saying neither Jedi or Dark Jedi can do this, but most Sith use fear and all that jazz to get where they are today.

Sith to me are the rulers of the galaxy. Yes, the Jedi and them are at war but really, they rule. Even lord Sidious says, "Lord Vader, let us rule the galaxy together!" so yeah.

But... I think they are weak still. Even the greatest civilizations failed to succeed. Their own power will be the thing that gets them in the end I believe. And if there is a debate about whether they're weak or not, face it, only the weak pick on the innocent.

To me, as I said, they're the rulers of the galaxy. But Jedi balance the force between them. Still oppose them though...

You said it well

I think, though I also think I am unsupported on this [member="Oka Osaa"] [member="Darth Arcis"]

we also get the positive emotions as well, such as love

 

[Oka Osaa]

Oh?.... most sith want to kill me instead of love or be a friend. The perks of being a Jedi?

[member="sabrina"]

 

[sabrina]

[member="Oka Osaa"] yes I just trying to reiterate the first words of sith code

peace is a lie
their only passion

well half of that`s marriage.

 

[Oka Osaa]

The sith and jedi will become one someday.. but then again, you know what happens when yin and yang mix. I don't judge a sith for their force alignment, I just them by their actions.

And I would like to say peace is possible, just the sith get caught up with the power or orders. Its really sad...

[member="sabrina"]

 

[sabrina]

[member="Oka Osaa"] Some do, but thats shame as it only takes up part of sith repotraw

 

[Oka Osaa]

Well... I have no problem with non-hostile sith. I think its adorable for someone to try and choke you lol. No but in all seriousness, if sith are nice, its cool. But the codes must not mix. Going way off topic, sorry.

[member="sabrina"]

 

[sabrina]

[member="Oka Osaa"] that may because I am drunk

 

[Oka Osaa]

[member="Oka Osaa"] that may because I am drunk

Going off topic again but seems fine to me if you're drunk less debates- I mean arguments- I mean... you know what, I have no words to fit this and I'm sober.

This is a tough question. I've read a lot of Wookieepedia and it appears the quote-unquote "Sith" have been written by many different writers throughout the years. Lucas included. Indeed, there are lots of different interpretations going on in Canon, Fanon, and Disneyland too. Kinda hard to get the big picture really.

So I'm gonna have to go with, "It's up to your interpretation and the interpretation of your Faction". Naturally you'll see common themes amongst characters here but I suppose it's really up to you to decide what your DarkSider is going to merit in life.

Dark aside, I've always enjoyed the comment: "Don't seek for deeper shades of Grey, seek for more brilliant shades of White." Especially when approaching the education of a Force User. If you can honestly lay the creeds and codes of the old cultures aside and seek for real knowledge and truth? Really follow your character's heart? ...You'll get where your supposed to be. And, after that? Well. Names and labels don't really matter anymore. You've found destiny. Your destiny. And that's a lot of what following the Force is all about.

Many of my characters start out as Sith or Jedi and then constantly, over time, evolve into something greater. They find the truth that matches the fashion of their heart. Not the fashions of the world or the the labels, and contexts, and creeds of someone else's empire. They improve upon the past and upon themselves. And yes, sadly, this often means growing out of the culturally accepted confines of being either a Sith or a Jedi. Eventually you reach a new tier of personality and a new definition of spirit, and just have to keep on going from there.

And I think the harder you stare at the boundaries of your chosen religion? The more you'll eventually lose sight of what your character's life is really all about. Living.

 

[Ket Van-Derveld]

Here's the deal, folks. This is how I've viewed it for the past 20 years I've been Roleplaying and it's served me well.

A Sith cares only for themselves. If they care for anything else, it is because they feel they cannot live without it. No Sith is lawful except to the laws they themselves set down for themselves. A Sith does what he or she wants to do, in order to bolster themselves, whether it be their power, knowledge, influence, or possessions. A Sith does not give a DAMN what anyone else thinks, and anytime that they seem to break that rule, it's a ruse, and nothing more. A Sith is their own Master, their own god, and they do to please themselves. Their Master in the Darkside is nothing more than a tool in which to learn from, then discard when their usefulness has been depleted. Their apprentices are viewed in the exact same ways. Everything exists simply to aid the Sith in question somehow, some way. And if it cannot? It is destroyed to keep it from opposing them or their plans.

THAT, boys and girls, is a Sith.


That's my two cents. *bows out of the discussion*

3, The 'I-have-no-name-for-this-kind-of-Sith': Usually rogues, this kind of Sith tend to only kill when it is necessary, but actually have a greater understanding of the Force, because they study the galaxy as a whole, and make allies and enemies almost everywhere they go. When one of these finally comes to power, they might get really corrupted, or they might actually make their territory better. (Example: Palpantine, Count Dooku)

This is me

 

[Vulpesen]

A sith believes in power, efficiency, and the will to do whatever it takes to bring order. Freedom leads to recklessness which leads to chaos. A sith seeks to control so that they might bring an age of stability.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

A sith is some one who craves power. And thats it, The Sith crave power for Powers sake. Darth Bane admitted this.

Definition of Power: the ability to do or act in a certain way.

But the problem with sith is that their purpose is often tainted by their own goals and Power without a purpose is not much. For Example Sidious basicly owned the Galaxy and ran its strings as a senator/Chancellor. His Empire only put him on a Throne. Sith view the darkside as a means to an end. So the Sith attempt to bend the darkside to his or her will for their own gain. But the Force has a will of its own and the darkside claims the user be it sith or dark jedi.

the Sith to me are confusing they hold them selfs in check but wish to gain power through pain, anger and Hate. But in order to gain more power you have to embrace those emotions more and more. It makes no sense...

Sith are fools and are selfish, no "Sith" will ever use the darkside for the greater good.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

I think there is two things that are fundamentally missing from this topic of conversation.

1. The Sith are a culture and a way of life. They have their own politics and a way of life how they do things. They are more like the Uraki of Middle Earth and not the Rangers of Gondor
2. They’re followers of the Darkside. People who follow the darkside of the force use their emotions to empower their use and strength through the force. It gives them great strength. There weakness is this. The Force manipulates them through their emotions. What ever their goals maybe or what rank they have one things always remains the same... if they do not feel a overwhelming mix of emotions that shifts how they views everything they com in contact with then they are not really draksiders or Sith.

 

[Beowoof]

From the Sith Code itself:

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Yep, sounds like they really want the best for everyone.

A friendly bunch.

What is a Sith? A miserable little pile of secrets.
