My apologies. As the son of the Emperor's #2, you have access to a lot of training opportunities, just not right now.

I was originally going to include an option to be fostered by one of the other imperial characters for a time but thought the major abilities I'd have them impart be too 'gamebreaking' and mary sueish.

Gonna leave these choices hanging for a while because your personality will be affected by the people you choose, which are what all those 'honor, cunning, callousness, and ruthlessness' in the skill and trait lists are.

How are you all today and how have you dealt with the grief Rise of Skywalker caused? Besides questing, I mean. SW quests are pretty popular right now and I made this one because I was inspired and felt like I could do better. Let's hope this one doesn't die anytime soon or my drive doesn't.

Two blasters, a lock-pick, a medkit, and a small knife dangle on your belt. You'd have two lightsabers by your sides as well if not for your father confiscating them. He told you the overseer would have two training sabers prepped for you if you really wanted to breeze through this. No doubt he will have arranged something to remind you what you're dealing with if he's already thrown you this off.

You look back up and make your way to shuttle monitoring station.

An old dark-skinned man wearing an official-looking lightly armored outfit with one hand standing in front of a large training saber rack surrounded by several dozens of men and women of varying ages, species, and force ability is the sight that greets you when you enter the shuttle bay proper.

"Our last and special guest arrives." The aged Sith says with what very much sounds like boredom in his vice. "My name is Overseer Tremel and you would-be acolytes are all here today to decide who will be the Emperor's Wrath's apprentice." Holding out his one hand open facing up in your direction, his eyes flick over the terrified and excited faces of the rookie force users. "This young man is Magnus Faxerus, the Wrath's son who is already leagues above you all and will likely kill every last one of you if it pleases him."

Numerous intense and quivering eyes land on you.

Raising a hand, you greet every last one of the fodder with a wave.

i wonder how edgy this will become only one way to find out

A sigh escapes Tremel's lips. "If you kill him, you will be accepted as the Wrath's apprentice without any immediate repercussions unless you prove yourself unworthy, which goes without saying. Your first trial is to enter the Tomb of Ajunta Pall through the Valley of the Dark Lord below us and sacrifice a K'lor'slug in the chamber of sacrifice. If you are incapable of dragging a live one into the chamber, you can always sacrifice one of the many scavengers and relic collectors that roam the tombs. All of you are allowed to sacrifice another acolyte as well but are forbidden from harming one another after you have made the sacrifice."

The attention of the ragtag band of Sith-in-training turns from you to one another.

Your assigned overseer walks off to the side, making way toward the training saber rack. "Each of you are allowed to take two. I doubt any of you except Lord Magnus knows how to properly wield them in such a manner, but you are welcome to try. After you have made the sacrifice, exit through the tomb to the Sith Academy on the other side. I will warn you all that it is likely you will see and experience unexplainable phenomena while in the tomb. Some of you weak-minded fools might even be possessed by the dark power still lingering after all these years. Tread lightly."

With gulps and nods, the acolytes approach the weapon rack.

You could take two or one if you wanted to but that'd take whatever challenge you'd find in this test. Hell, you're not even sure what your father's trying to test in you. All you know it's going to be pretty boring when you get to the academy with more than half your competitors gone. Might be good of you to form a small clique, train up what few have potential to be a match when all this is said and done. It's not like there's any rules against helping the competition.

>[X] Head out without a weapon, you'll use your cunning and leadership skills to make them eliminate themselves and into what you need if that comes to pass.

>(1/2)

Dominating this test with weapons isn't taking advantage of the opportunities it opens up. You never trained with anyone else but your parents on account of your siblings being too young for your intense life and death training. This is a chance for you to hone your cunning as well as your leadership skills. Malavai and your father are both the ideal people the empire needs and owes thanks to. You'll show your old man you have what it takes as well.

Looking over to the exit ramp, you depart without so much as a glance at your prepared weapons.

An instinctual inkling of dread and wonder flares within you once you see the massive tomb of the first Dark Lord of the Sith.

He was a fallen Jedi but became exalted once he realized the superiority and truth of the dark side after landing here on your ancient home. Those old fools saw his mastery of alchemy as an abomination of the Force despite being of the Force itself. If only they knew what would happen after they exiled him. All of that arrogance kept them from putting him down and preventing the true greatness of the Sith to come into being.

Shaking your head free of that old tidbit of history, you look down at the writhing k'lor'slug worming their way across the valley dunes.

You could use your blasters but you already decided to try out your other skills.

A smile makes its way on to your face as you sense the presence of the acolytes not far behind.

The different faces of the fodder grimace, contort, and even smile in return as you turn back at them.

A big horned alien you recall being named 'Zabraks' is the first to step toward you, his hand gripping the single training saber on him tightly. "You made a mistake stepping out without a weapon, kid." His eyes drift down to your blasters. "Think you can draw on me fast enough to kill me before I kill you?"

Raising an eyebrow, you give the grown man a side-glance.

He's a bit old to be here but he's got the right attitude and some sensitivity to the force.

>[ ] "I could kill you without lifting a finger, but I won't. That's too easy. Sure, you could kill me while I just stand around doing nothing or after I get tired and bored of dodging your attacks, but why would you want that? All you'll do is disappoint my father. That goes for the rest of you too. I can teach you how to fight, show you how to use the Force properly, and even save you if you get possessed. Right now, you're not good to me, my father, Overseer Tremel, the Empire, or even yourselves.

That makes no sense. If the OG Sith survived on Dromund Kaas, they would have built an Empire like their old culture: Space Egypt with a side of Mesopotamia and Aztecs. Not that human-loving Palps-like bullshit from TOR. That would make sense ONLY if Revan came back and took over them, bringing the Sith closer to Republic tech. Darths especially make no sense, as why would any Sith OTHER than Revanites bother with giving themselves a Rakatan title?

>>4020134
I'll be playing old LucasArts stuff and not give Disney any money.
Also, I find catharsis in that retards like RLM killed "their beloved franchise raped by Lucas" with their own idiocy. They got what they fucking deserved.

Voting closed; writing now.
>>4021643
The origin of Darth is actually unknown. It's thought to be of Rakatan origin, which it could very well be due to the Ancient Sith having access to some of their ruins but it was in use long before Revan adopted it.

Almost every human in the SWTOR Sith Empire has Sith blood. It's just so diluted whichever 'Purebloods' that exist still look human complete with all five fingers instead of the old three they originally had. Either way, whatever official Sith have leeway over non-Sith regardless of race.

As for why they have an Emperor, they are living in a Galactic Empire and Dark Lord of the Sith is a moniker too easily confused with just being a Sith Lord in Galactic Basic. Je'nari would be the name Tremel would've used if the Academy was on Dromund Kaas with citizens of the Empire though, that being the other major language spoken in it and more commonly spoken on their capital.

The Emperor's Wrath is officially something akin to Je'narianjat, Dark Lord Demon basically. If there is a more concrete source of the sith language out there, please let me know.

>>4021643
>>4021796
But, if you're really getting bothered over the use of Darth I haven't actually used yet, remember that was originally Darth Vader's actual literal name before he was retconned into being Luke's father. Lucas had some brilliant ideas but the motherfucker flip-flopped too much without someone to rein him in.

And I liked the prequels in spite of their shitiness.

>>4021798
And I just remembered I included Darth in the opening listing of positions falling to the authority of the Emperor's Wrath.

My bad.

>[X] Force Choke
>[X] "I could kill you without lifting a finger. You belong to me now. Serve or die."

While you did just decide to get by using only your cunning and leadership skills just literal seconds before, people who jump to violence with no concern over their lives don't understand getting by without some force. You'll use your competency with the Force to show him just how great the divide between you and everyone else is. If he keeps trying to kill you, he'll be your sacrifice for the trial.

The Zabrak is lifted up into the air by his neck with an excursion of your will.

A sigh escapes your lips as the alien makes the first mistake of dropping his weapon for his throat.

If you were him and also your father, you would've stabbed in the gut with your own lightsaber for having the fortitude of a child.

Horror, amazement, and envy sparks in the eyes of those behind the first subject of your wrath before they take several steps back.

"I could kill you without lifting a finger." Acolyte Big Horns drops to his knees, gasping for air. "You belong to me now. Serve or die."

The grown alien grasps his training saber, stands, lifts it up into the sky with both hands grabbing its hilt, and makes what constitutes for a sixth of a swing when he freezes in congruence with your will.

"Did you forget what happened just seconds earlier? Did you expect me to let you bash my brains in after you made your intentions to kill me known? Am I a fool to you?"

Big Horns seethes as he attempts to move a single centimeter through the force surrounding him.

Frowning, you glare at the weak vermin in front of you. "I'll take that as a yes."

Some people are just too stupid to live.

>[X] Break his neck, mercy is a good thing sometimes.

No need at all for you to drag out the inevitable. Best to cut off vestigial limbs before they grow nerves as they say. Culling the worthless, weak, and unnecessary is the way of the Sith after all. You're doing the galaxy a favor killing this fool before he can breed.

Without so much as a twitch or a whisper, the force halting the Zabrak compresses around his neck, shattering his spinal vertebrae and crushing his throat.

The alien drops on to the ramp and slides down the hot steel like a marionette with its strings cut off.

A sigh escapes your lips as the other acolytes stare at the newly made corpse.

It wasn't your intention to rock the boat so soon, but it was inevitable you being who you are and this test being what it is. Not the best impression to leave on people though being feared is better than being loved, as long as they don't hate you. Many poor Sith forget that last bit of advice unfortunately.

You turn around to face the dunes of the Valley of the Dark Lords.

K'lor'slugs bigger and about the size of the dead alien now at the end of the ramp tramp around, ignorant of the feasts and slaughters that await them.

It might be possible for you to control a few. Some may be possessed or resistant to mindtricks thanks to the permeating dark side energy native to Korriban however. They may make better immediate companions than the fodder behind you, but you won't be able to bring them with you into the academy. Some could be left by the tomb exit for further use though. You never know what you may find in the tomb of the Sith's founder.

There's no point in staying here if you're not going to recruit any of the fools behind you or the vermin ahead of you. Once you've completed your trial, you can take your pick of the rest who succeeded and survived. It was a mistake to even think about recruiting right from the beginning, a mistake you won't make ever again.

You will the Force to strengthen your body and bolster your speed before taking off in a gust of wind, leaving a small duststorm in your wake.

It takes you about seven minutes of the maximum speed you can muster to reach what would've taken about half an hour's time if not for the k'lor'slugs.

All your Force reinforcements vanish the moment you feel the atmosphere change from the misty dark side permeating Korriban to the smothering pit of Ajunta Pall's tomb.

You glance your eyes across the engraved, cracked walls as you walk down the weathered staircase into the grand grave-site proper.

Old Sith's hieroglyphic-like alphabet accompany primitive yet grand pictures of the Dark Jedi's arrival unto the world and the rise of the first Je'nari.

A smile makes its way on to your face when you reach the end of the staircase and the real beginning of the trial.

K'lor'slugs, giant and small, scamper across the rocky tile of the ancient place in packs as well as stampedes towards the echoing sound of blaster fire.

You embolden yourself with the Force again before blazing through the wide cavern and past the carnivorous mollusks.

As you reach the crossroad-like center of the tomb, you see two men and one woman blasting down a horde of the tomb's vermin from behind a makeshift barricade of what looks supply caches.

"Why is this place infested with these things! Do the Sith care about their landmarks at all!" The green male Twi'lek of the three growls.

"They're Sith!" A cyborg human man yells through the blaster fire with a distorted voice. "They let these things breed to protect this place from smugglers and weed out acolytes!"

"Yet they hire us to go through their mess to collect lost artifacts for them?!" The token Twi'lek-like orange woman shouts in disbelief.

"Like I said, Sith!"

Tilting your head at the amusement, you punch through the head off a stray wandering and interested vermin.

All of them are handling themselves just fine. They might take some wounds but they'll probably make it out well enough to accomplish whatever job they were hired for. Some explosives would do them well though that could cause a portion of the tomb to collapse, which would rightfully enrage any true Sith here: casting shame on the one that hired them. Saving them could prove a benefit if they retrieve anything for their employer and helping them could let you test out your ever declining not-Sith communication skills. Vette has been on your case about that as of late and Malavai does his best to say it without saying it as is the way he is.

>[X] Slaughter the slugs and get on your way, you'd prefer to get out of here as soon as possible: places as strong in the dark as these will inevitably have an effect if you linger too long.

You can't stay here forever, and you can't just let these poor bastards bomb the tomb to save their multi-colored skins. It's been a while since you've had to use the Force to kill a significant number of enemies. There isn't that much, but it's still something worth waving over the heads of lesser Sith.

Untilting your head, a sigh escapes your lips just before you reinforce yourself and take off to the air above the k'lor'slugs.

The mechanical eyes of the cyborg tighten while his twi'lek friend gapes at the sight of you over the center of the pack of wild carnivorous worms.

Everything around you fades away as you take make a fist and channel the Force through it using your bloodlust.

Chittering and blaster fire resound through the air one moment and a deafening crash drowns all other sounds out the next as you feel the rock tile of the tomb soften into sand beneath your fist.

You open your eyes not to a surrounding horde of k'lor'slugs but their lifeless and twisted corpses.

Before any of the scavengers can say thanks or voice their surprise, you reinforce yourself with the force before darting off again.

It takes you a little while to find the room with obvious sacrificial alters, atmosphere of death and agony, old Sith inscriptions, and hieroglyphics detailing sacrifices.

You run back out of the chamber to grab hold of the nearest slug using the force and jump back to crush them against the nearest alter.

A resounding squelch echoes throughout the chamber for a good thirty seconds before it disappears into nothingness.

You turn to the staircase as the dark side wells from the alter and freeze when you feel the absence of something, something that shouldn't be gone.

Blinking, you crane your head to the center of the chamber.

There's another echo, one in the Force, you can feel it now thanks to the sacrifice.

A frown makes its way on to your face.

Something happened here. Not necessarily in this chamber or the time of its building but sometime not that long ago, perhaps a few centuries at least. If it had been something that happened during the foundation, it would've been recorded somewhere. This is new although not quite worth making note of: anomalies like this happen all the time in places strong with the force, especially in the Dark Side.

Force abilities are difficult to learn and even harder to achieve proficiency with, much less mastery. Dark side Force abilities and Dark side utilizations of basic force abilities also have the unfortunate side effect of having a chance of killing you if you try using them in a manner beyond your ability, which makes progression hard and dangerous. If your father didn't include repeated attempts to murder you and bring you close to death in your training regiment, you would've never learned as fast as you have.

You seat yourself down before the bloodied alter and close your eyes.

Having experience with this kind of thing and being a powerful Sith-in-training, the risks for taking in the Dark side energy are minimal to you, but it would have likely forced itself into your being if you were at the level of the fodder you left behind. The echo is something else entirely though: its source is unknown to you and doesn't seem to be of the Dark or of the Light. Still, you're not going to let that deter your curiosity.

Taking a deep breath, you center yourself.

The miasma of energy, sensing your intentions, concentrates itself around your being.

You exhale and let yourself become one with the darkness and the darkness one with you.

Whispers in Old Sith hiss in your ears as they hiss from your lips. "D..De..Devour, absorb, recover."

Adhering to your joined advice, you lift a hand at the k'lor'slug's smashed corpse and focus on devouring what remaining life force exists in the broken carcass.

You open your eyes to see a red whispy beam connect your flesh to the vermin's, and the slug's slowly rot as the force energy you expended earlier returns to your body. Blinking, the beam dissipates when you flex your fingers.

>Force Ability Learned: Basic Life Draining

It would've taken longer for the mollusk to decay if it were still alive and basic use of this ability is situational at best. At the very least, you can finish off a wounded opponent by taking their remaining energy for yourself, assuming there's no one else there to fight you while you're concentrating on that. You've seen your father render a platoon of Republic soldiers and the surrounding greenery into barren mockeries of what they once were with his proficiency in it, however. Some Darths are also known to be able to do the same only on a much greater scale.

Shrugging, you close your eyes and return to your meditative state.

The world around you disappears again until you are left with the Dark Side Force energy and the echo. You concentrate your mind on the echo until the Dark Side energy fades away as well. Minutes go by until even the echo fades away.

A frown makes its way on to your face before you open your eyes to two men, a woman, and a sickly blue phantom in the form of Ajunta Pall.

"You... and the others here, you're not truly Sith are you?" The revenant says in a deep, faint voice. "Just fallen Jedi like I was once. You don't know what awaits you... This path can only end one way."

The black-haired would-be fallen Jedi scoffs. "I know. It's inevitable, it is the path of every living thing."

"Wrong, regardless of the method of death, they at least know peace."

"You're a disgrace." The woman clenches a fist, compressing the Force Ghost with dark energy. "The most pathetic of your kind and one of the first."

A man with two blasters at his sides steps forward but a dark-skinned hand planted on his shoulder holds him back. He looks to the old man and the wrinkle-faced sage only shakes his head.

Ajunta Pall's manifestation flickers and wanes under the woman's assault. "Damn... you! I know where your path ends! You will suffer Re-" The essence of the first Je'nari is crushed before it can finish its post-mortem words.

You watch as the sickly blue energy disperses and fades into nothing, leaving behind...nothing.

There shouldn't be nothing.

Blinking, you return once again to the sacrificial chamber.

Ajunta Pall lingered here and then he was granted Oblivion. Except the Force is unmistakably what all life returns to, but the first Je'nari was just reduced to nothing in front of your very eyes, if the vision is to be believed. There is nothing left although something must remain yet there is nothing but absolute nothingness. All that remains is the echo, the pain and suffering of the phantom and its regret until the very moment where its final throes were reduced to nothing but nothingness.

You move to stand and fall on to your knees as your legs give way beneath you. Bile soon rises to your throat. Having not the will or mindset to resist anything at the moment, you let it spill from your lips and on to the rock tile.

A groan escapes your lips when you finally manage to pick yourself up.

That's enough meditating on things you shouldn't for one day.

>[X] Make your way out, there's no- little left for you here.

Staying here any longer in you current state is an incredibly stupid thing to do. You doubt you'll be possessed, but you know it won't do your mind any good to stay here. Maybe you'll tell your mother about this when you see her again. Woman might shock you if you say you don't have questions for her when she senses them inside you: she's always been a zealot like that.

You reinforce yourself with Force energy before blasting through the tomb again.

K'lor'slugs, other scavengers, and maybe an acolyte or two from a different, more advanced, clutch are all things you breeze by before you feel the sun on your skin once again.

A sigh of relief escapes your lips at the grand sight of the Sith Academy.

It's not the first time you've been here but it's always a pleasure to see where your father got his start and the eternal fortitude of the Sith.

You make your way up the entrance ramp past conversing acolytes, drawing the occasional glance.

Several months have passed since you last were here. Usually, it takes an acolyte about a year to become a proper Sith: some of them probably recognize you. Your father got that done in a quarter of the time, but he was a prodigy beyond being who he is. The overseer who helped him that Baras ordered him to kill couldn't even put up much of a fight, and he was fully Sith with a lightsaber while your father had a warblade. Man was lucky the traitor was foolish enough to ask for his hand rather than his head.

Freezing, you blink as realization who your overseer is dawns on you.

Either you've lost some brain cells in the shuttle here or you somehow forgot about the legend that built your father into the second most powerful man in the Sith Empire that he is today. Whichever way, not recognizing Tremel was awfully disrespectful to both him and your father. You'll tell him how his old mentor is doing if he didn't request him to be the overseer to go through with this.

You shake your head and bring your mind back to the matter at hand.

It'll probably take a short while for him to get here from the shuttle bay. Waiting around doing nothing may be boring, but it'd prevent you from getting into trouble. Might be worth going to the Inquisitor's quarters and asking the High Inquisitor how your mother is doing: she likes to hear that you care, which you do. You could spar in the training area as well, but only one of the actual Sith posted as staff would match you. Checking out the library to read up on force anomilies would also be helpful though you don't want to dwell on that anymore than you have to. Not to mention that woman might be there. It's a small chance, which is enough for you to be wary of.

Love is one of the emotions thought of to be a 'grey' area by most Sith. Many are split on the subject as love has led to ruin for a many a great Sith yet also given them power when needed. Your father's position is unknown to you on account of his many half-hearted attempts to end your life, the nature behind his relationship with your mother, and Vette. It's not like his treatment of the Twi'lek slave is unique to him, though. Your mother is more on the positive side of things with how she worships your father, babies your siblings, even your two half-ones; and shocks you for not telling her your troubles.

You get the distinct feeling that last part isn't normal, but a Sith's normal isn't the same as a Force blind's normal.

Shrugging, you continue into the Sith Academy and make your way to the Inquisitor Quarters.

A few of the present men salute much to your chagrin before you find yourself in the High Inquisitor's office.

The familiar old man looks up from his special Sith Official holonet connected computer with a glower that shifts into surprise. "Young Magnus? You've returned." He raises an eyebrow. "What brings you to me this fine day?"

"My mother, Mars, how is she? It's been some time since she last saw me."

High Inquisitor Mars cackles. "Lady Jaesa is as she always is. If not for your siblings, she would be a far more...demanding woman, however."

"No need to be coy with me," you sigh, "I know how she can be."

"You would say such things of your own mother in the presence of her subservient?" The man hums.

"Oh please, she already knows what I think of her and what everyone else does, especially her underlings. There is nothing anyone in this galaxy can hide from her. Once you tell her this conversation, the one thing she'll take away from it is that I care enough about her to ask people how she's doing."

Laughing again, Mars looks down at his office computer. "At times I wonder if she is far too loving of you and your siblings to truly be Sith but so do many others." He grimaces. "Then, of course, you know what she does to all who question her."

An understanding hum murmurs in your throat. "She'll go easy on you in your next report if you tell her, don't worry."

"How awfully generous of you."

"Generous?" You walk back to the office entrance and shake your head as you exit the room. "I pity you."

It doesn't take you very long to find yourself at the entrance of the library.

While you'd rather not contemplate what you saw, being a coward isn't in your blood.

A nauseating, life-draining, and unfortunately familiar aura of death envelops you the moment you pass into what you now realize is an empty library.

This was a mistake.

You turn back and reinforce yours body before bending your knees to jump away from the storage room of knowledge all the way back to the first floor of the Academy.

"Little Magnus!" A joyful, purring voice practically coos.

The energy around you dissipates as you slowly churn to gaze at the slave-scarred face belonging to one of the most powerful Sith in the galaxy. "...Darth Nox."

A grin stretches across the Dark Council Member's otherwise lovely yet horrific face. "It's been some time, how is dear Caeles?"

You internally groan, your body refusing to do the physical act in the woman's presence.

Of course she would call your father by his name.

In a way, yeah. Some storylines will be revealed to have either played out differently (Bounty Hunter, Jedi Knight) or never happened at all considering how inconsequential some of them are (Smuggler, Councilor)

Of course, I'm not going to have a super advanced Empire from further out in space just pop in and steamroll everything completely out of nowhere. That would be retarded on such a level rivaling the ST.

Closest thing the Emperor will have in common to Discount Nihilus is the ability to jump bodies as to explain the long age. It's not without side effects, however, as things are with Force users who wholely give themselves unto their power.

Best to be open and honest with her. She might have the knowledge you seek, but she may also feign ignorance as to keep that private. Worst comes to worst, she'll pry it from your mind and soothe you while you ramble mindlessly to yourself. Your father would definitely get involved if she did that so she probably won't however. Either way, you have to deal with her unpleasantness.

"I'm here on my latest test under his orders."

The woman scoffs. "Tests, tests, tests, tests, tests! What is it with that man and always sending you on tests? You are already powerful than any common Sith: why can't he just leave you be?" She pinches your cheeks and stretches them up into a smile.

Keeping still, you shrug.

He's preparing you for something, but you're not sure what exactly that is. All you know is that you can't afford to be weak for when it comes. Whatever it is, you'll be ready. You have to be.

"You know you think very loudly, right?"

A sigh escapes your lips.

Please, do not read my mind without my consent.

"No." She eases her grip on your face and caresses the red marks left behind in circles with her soft fingers. "If you're too weak to resist, many others will take what they want from you, little Magnus."

Rolling your eyes, you look off to the side. "...You wouldn't happen to have any records detailing no- an echo in the Force, would you?"

"Now why would you be curious about those?"

"I heard one last time I meditated. It was...disturbing."

Nox coos as she moves one hand to pat the top of your head. "There, there. I'll send you what I can when I can. You can wait, can't you?"

You, cheeks red in righteous anger and certainly nothing else, nod.

"Good boy!" The powerful woman, much to your relief, steps away from you.

A realization comes you as your eyes flicker over the rest of the empty library. "Wait a second, You're alone... Where is the Dashade? I was told he never leaves your side."

"Khem wanted to visit the tomb of his lost lord. He's probably feasting on some acolyte right now. Weak Dark Side users aren't fulfilling to him, but he's told me their flesh has a pleasant zany tang."

"...Huh."

Nox hums. "Is there anything else you need, little Magnus, or are you just happy to stand in my wonderful presence?"

You blink.

This woman's madness never ceases to amaze you.

Your father wouldn't exactly be against you learning from other Sith, he did send you to Tremel for a reason afterall, but he would probably say something about you learning from her of all people. There are rumors of Nox having a special connection to the Force, one that allows her to commune with and channel the long dead spirits of Sith and even Jedi. Considering her mental instability, those rumors might be try in a way and the slave Nox once was may have died a long time ago.

"Could you...teach me some Force Abilities?"

Darth Nox blinks and visibly takes her head back at your words before a genuine smile forms from her lips. "Yes, yes I will teach you some Force Abilities. Which ones do you wish knowledge of and how exactly would you like to learn them?"

Raising an eyebrow, you shoot her a look. "What methods do you have in mind?"

"I can sear the knowledge into your mind, which is very likely to drive you insane; seat you down and walk you through the mechanics of the Force Abilities step by step, or use them on you until you realize how to use them in your own way."

"...You can sear knowledge and proficiency with the Force into someone's mind?"

"Anything is possible with the Force, Little Magnus." She giggles. "Anything and I mean...anything."

A slow nod is all you give her before you shake your head free of your confusion. "And what does using them on me entail exactly?"

"It's exactly what it sounds like."

"Please, be specific because I think I know what you mean, but I really don't and, in some way, don't want to know."

"I can feel that from your mind. What using them on you entails me draining the life out of you, attacking your mind, shocking you, crushing you, just attacking you with the Force, and healing you when you are wounded, which you will be grievously so. You seem like the hands-on sort so it'll suit you." Her body and the air sparkles with intense purple lightning for a brief moment. "Shall we begin?"

You wince.

It's the fastest way to learn, you know that from experience, but this woman is likely to kill you if you go down that route. Sure, your father is just as likely to do so yet he hasn't for the years you've been taking his lightsaber into your guts. Darth Nox doesn't seem at all the type of master that knows when to relent.

First things first, gaining the ability to twists the minds of others to your whims and to avoid getting your mind twisted to Nox's whims anymore than she might've already done. It'll do you no good to be out facing a Jedi Master and getting your mind taken from you by those hypocrites. They'd force you to say a bunch of nonsense you don't believe in and call it victory as if they weren't just delaying the inevitable. Your father and your mother have told you more than enough about their experience with the Jedi to know few can be considered what they claim to be and those who are being nothing but lifeless robots claiming enlightenment. Republic is no better with them hiding the existence of Belsavis from their populace. Although, there is the occasional Jedi and soldier with a sense of honor as well as compromise: your father's tales of Jedi Master Timmns, Commander Naughlen, and one of the other Onasis in the Jedi order tell as much.

Teach me how to train my mind so you don't hear my thoughts, Darth Nox.

A giggle escapes the woman's lips.

You are just too easy to read, your mind is clear and direct with few conflicting thoughts. While you would be able to manipulate those like you, there will be some difficulty for you to manipulate more erratic minds. Experience will make the process easier for you, however.

Rolling your eyes, you sigh.

Of course I'd naturally be in a disadvantage against people like you.

Nox crosses her arms.

What do you mean people like me?

The Darth relaxes as she laughs once again.

Nodding, a confirming hum churns in your throat.

Nox sits down and gestures for you to join her on the library floor.

You raise an eyebrow, check your surroundings, and shrug before joining the crazed woman on the ground.

A steel platform is the first thing you see when you open your eyes again.

You blink and turn on your side to see a small ladder leading up to the raised steel located on the frame of whatever it is your lying on.

It seems Nox saw fit to pick a bunk for you and chose a bottom one, what you know she knows you don't prefer on account of her most likely having pried the information from your mind.

A sigh escapes your lips.

Hopefully Overseer Tremel wouldn't mind you reporting in later than the other acolytes.

I won't deny Interregnum made me want to post this as well.Will say that I had come up with something among these lines a long time ago but that was a fanfic idea, which this is except it's a quest.

I am glad that my current players are small in number, though. My god, the shitshow going on in those threads. Quest is good but goddamn.

>(1/2)

It's unknown to you just how long you were unconscious or how long you were training, but you can tell it's already been longer than it should. Tremel be bothered by it if you leave out that bit of training under Darth Nox, if he hasn't already heard. You're not sure if your father is having him oversee a standard Sith's training or an accelerated one like what he was put through in time to become Darth Baras' apprentice. If the former, you have nothing to fear from hands-on training for an entire month while the latter ensures you won't be able to gleam whatever you can off Nox.

You roll off the bed and land on your feet before making your way out of the acolyte quarters.

It takes you about fifteen minutes to find the overseer's office after asking the nearest official for directions.

The dark-skinned man's face is as stiff as when you first saw it and remains so when he sees you enter his sanctum. "Ah, the son of Caeles finally awakes. I was wondering where you were when the last of the acolytes reported their success until I heard from a colleague that you were meditating with Darth Nox in the library. Then I heard she carried your unconscious body to the Acolyte Quarters and left you on a bunk."

"My apologies, Overseer." You give a quick bow. "It was never my intention to make you wait, but you weren't here when I arrived."

"No apologies are necessary. All that matters is that you're here and that you completed your trial, which I can tell by the lingering sacrificial Dark Side energy on you."

Looking down at yourself, you notice the ever so faintest wisps of black coming off your body. "It was an odd experience. Nothing horrid but strange."

"I've been told as such by strong acolytes who've reported before." Tremel stands. "Now that you've completed your first trial, it is customary for you to spend the entire month studying philosophy, conceptual tactics, and meditating on the Dark Side to understand the Sith Code but your father has informed me you already have done as such during your boyhood."

You nod in confirmation.

The man raises a hand to his chin. "I was instructed to let you have your way until the other acolytes complete their studies. You are forbidden from leaving Korrriban but you are to have full access to the Sith Academy's facilities. If you wish to explore any tombs or assist with the tasks commonly taken by an Overseer, you must receive permission from one. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Overseer Tremel, I understand."

"Good." He lowers his one hand. "You are dismissed."

Without a word, you step outside of the office belonging to your father's old mentor.

It seems the standard Sith training is the regiment your father is going for. You're going to be stuck on Korriban for a long time if that's the case. May as well get whatever training you can and experience as well.

While you could spend the rest of the months training, you'd rather make sure the acolytes you face in the end will truly know what it means to be Sith. You're so far above them no one would suspect sabotage but would wonder what your intentions are. No one here quite understands who you are or what you value. The shadow of your father is largely responsible for that beyond your lack of interest in other Sith.

You turn back and return to the office. "Overseer Tremel, may I assist the acolytes in understanding the Sith Code?"

The man looks up from his office computer with the same stiff look on his face. "If that is what you wish and are fully willing to do without deliberately sabotaging your fellow acolytes, yes. The lessons will begin tomorrow after they have recovered from the wounds they suffered in the tomb"

"Thank you, Overseer." Bowing once again, you spin around and walk out the man's office.

You raise a hand to your chin and tilt your head.

He accepted that without question or reaction, but that might have been what your father told him he wanted to happen. Then again, like everyone else and your mother, you have no idea what the hell he wants. Man's always been unlike other people and a lot unlike other Sith. Even the aura he exudes isn't the same as other powerful Dark Side Users: it's suffocating but serene in its ebb and flow.

Shrugging, you walk out of the corridor leading to Tremel's office into the Sith Academy proper.

Checking out the competition at the medbay may be in order. More training can be undertaken until the studies begin however, if Nox is willing. Of course, you could just go back to the Acolyte Quarters and rest there. Testing out your new powers may be in order as well.

>[X] Go and read some minds, you'll only improve with experience.

Your body and mind aren't ready for anymore sitting or abuse. If you're caught trying to read the minds of Sith officials, you might be banished from the Academy or they may inform your father of your brazenness. That latter is far more grievous and horrifying to you than the other. Wounded acolytes are likely relaxed or in shock so they'll be the easiest and most nonthreatening to read.

It doesn't take you long to reach the medbay you are more than familiar with.

Aliens and humans of different species and races litter the sanitized room whether on beds or in kolto tanks.

Closing your eyes, you lean against the medical ward wall and focus your minds on the thoughts of the wounded.

A woman whimpers.

I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. The k'lor'slugs will eat me. They'll rip me apart, strip me of my flesh, and suck whatever pool of blood I form before gnawing on my bones until I'm nothing but a forgotten memory.

One of the men grunts.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit! Why did I agree to this? I should've fought them. I would've died, but I would be free! This isn't going to end well, it never ends well.

I can feel it, the Dark Side. It's... powerful. It's everything. I have to learn more. If I don't, I'll be just like her: a worthless slave who never amounted to anything.

You hear the clenching of a fist.

It should have been me. I should have saved him. But, in the end, all I did was stand and watch as those things gnawed chunks of him away... I had to do it. I had to end his misery. What does it matter if I did it on the alter?

A melodic hum chimes in the air.

This place...I hate it. I hate the air here, I hate the k'lor'slugs, I hate that spoiled Sith brat, I hate all the Sith around me, I hate the doctors for keeping me alive, I hate my parents for bringing me into this worthless galaxy, and I hate myself for being so weak! I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate!

Some submerged, muffled roar bubbles through the room for a moment.

Who are you?

You raise an eyebrow at the masculine voice.

It seems you're not the only one who was taught how to use their mind through the force.

Looks like you might have some promising acolytes to go head to head with in the final trials after all. Hopefully, they make it at least halfway to being Sith to spare you disappointment. Teaching them the Sith Code will be at least partly pleasant in that regard. It is entirely possible for you to bend all of them to your will without the use of the Force.

I was already introduced to you at the shuttle bay.

...Yes, you were. I can feel your presence, and it's familiar. What was your name?

Whoever you are, you will hear it again soon.

Why?

You straighten yourself to stand directly on the ground.

Rest now, you'll know soon enough and I'll know you.

"You're the only one who sensed me, this was not a waste of time after all." Without further word, you exit the medbay back into the Sith Academy.

It's not uncommon for novice Force Users to have some form of mind manipulation proficiency. You've just been more focused on martial matters thanks to your father. Telekinesis is a far more difficult Force ability to gain proficiency with, much less master. Although, your encounter with Nox has proved it is worth gaining some expertise with.

You raise a hand to your chin.

The tomb did teach you how to use a basic Dark Side force ability. Tampering with minds is more neutral but largely depends on the exact kind of tampering or the intentions at least, from your knowledge. In many ways, the Force is strange in that regard.

Shrugging off your thoughts, you return your mind to your current situation.

There's little else for you to do today but try and train with Nox in something else.

>[X] Concentrate on speaking with Nox, it should be easy now.

A little more training would do you some good before you turn in for the day. You probably won't learn more, but you will get more experience. Nox seems incredibly pleased at the idea of you learning under her, so she's unlikely to deny you. It is getting late, however. She may be willing to keep the practice going well into the next day or attempt to distastefully suggest something inappropriate.

You close your eyes and focus your mind on your new teacher.

Darth Nox, can you hear me?

Everything is silent until a familiar laugh echoes through your mind.

Of course I can, Little Magnus. Is something on your mind? Are you in the mood for some more quality time between the two of us?

You groan.

Not at all in the tone of... thought you're suggesting, no.

A chiding coo purrs in your head.

You haven't even been with a woman yet.

Immediately, you flare red with what is certainly anger and nothing else.

That is no business of yours, and I would remind you to show some respect to the Je'narianjat's son's privacy!

Sinister laughter cackles throughout your mind.

We both know Caeles won't do anything. He wouldn't approve, but he would think it good for you to finally get that over and done with. Just looking through your thoughts, I'd recommend the same. You're so pent up, Little Magnus. Don't you think it's time to show how big you are?

Taking care to hide yourself from any would-be witnesses to your embarrassment, you cling yourself telekinetically to the corridor roof.

You are over twice my age, woman!

Oh, don't be such a child. I'll be gentle with you.

And we're done here.

Concentrating on your surroundings, you push the crazed laughing voice out of your head far more easily than it should be.

A sigh escapes your lips as you drop back on to your feet.

It seems all the woman in your life will be teasing and troublesome with some likeliness to be crazed.

You have to do something to take your mind off all this lewd business before you go to bed. The vast void of space tends to do that for you in reminding you of your insignificance. Long after you're gone, the stars will remain. The Force will be forever, but you're not sure if the Sith or the Jedi will: for all both peoples' bravado, you have never ventured beyond this galaxy nor learned all there is to it or the Force.

Shrugging, you make your way out of the academy and into the night.

It takes you a while to reach a good skygazing spot some ways away from the hostile wildlife, the surrounding tombs, and the academy.

A thud beats through the air for a moment when you drop down on to the rocky sand of Korriban.

Countless stars flicker in the night sky, both long dead and still shining bright.

A heavy sigh pushes through your open lips.

You are on yet another test, one you're not sure will be the final that ends your days as just the son of the second most powerful man in the Empire. In truth, you are already beyond most Sith save Darths and esteemed Lords as well as Inquisitors. Many you've encountered wonder why you are still as you are without titles or recognition even with your power, lightsabers, and skills.

Groaning, you shake your head.

Even Nox of all Sith acknowledges that, though probably to sow discontent between you and your father. Perhaps her possibly serious attempt at bedding you was another one of those.

You frown as you stare out into the glistening void. "Will there be a woman out there for me that won't be so Hawk-bat shit insane in the head?"

Space does not respond as it is not sentient nor in any way functioning.

"...I could go for an Angel right now." Yawning, you close your eyes. "A maiden who's never killed, tortured, or known the touch of a man but understands the galaxy she resides in and is willing to do what she can to see her goals through in honor despite the actions she must take. That is my perfect woman." You sigh. "...Knowing my luck, I am likely to end married to a Fallen Jedi like my mother or, the Force forbid, a Mandalorian who thinks herself my equal." Shuddering, you shake your head. "I cannot stand a woman who wishes herself a man nor acknowledges herself as a woman."

Silence fills the air as you stop your meaningless monologuing.

You open your eyes to the beautiful night sky.

As always, you are alone.

It won't do you or anyone else good if you fell asleep outside of the Academy grounds and got eaten by the wildlife in your sleep. Dozing underneath the stars on a patio of your family cathedral's isn't at all the same as dozing off in the ice cold night of a desert planet that just so happens to be the homeworld of the Sith. Best to sleep inside where it's safe and comfortable.

You kick yourself back up to your feet, dust yourself off, and make your way to the Academy.

The sentries posted by the entrance ramp bow in your presence, as does every other sentry you cross by on your way back to the Acolyte Quarters.

Plopping down on your bunk, you once again let the seductive allure of sleep wisp you away.

...

...

You open your eyes to a desolate, barren world.

Blinking, you gaze up at a raging storm. "What the hell..."

"Are you ready?" A gentle hand places itself on your shoulder. "Have you grown strong?"

The face of the woman from your vision at Ajunta Pall's tomb is what you see when you turn back to face the owner of the hand. "Who... Where... I don't understand."

"You don't need to. What I want to know is if you've grown strong or not."

"Why?"

Moving the hand to caress your face, the stranger coos. "Like I said, you don't need to understand. Are you strong or are you not?"

You brush the woman's hand away and glare into her grey eyes. "I am strong."

"No," Rev shakes her head, "you're not strong. Stronger than most, but that's not enough for what we must face."

"Who is it we must face? Who even are you?!" You grunt and glance at the hellscape around you. "What world are we on that can possibly be held together like this?"

Ms. Forward Stranger brings both her hands up to caress your face in her grasp. "I'll give you my strength." She inches her face towards yours.

"Uh, I don't... Please just... This is wro-"

The woman shushes you. "It's okay, this is natural." Her grey eyes turn a vibrant orange. "You are Sith, you were born to give in to me, belong to Me."

You part your lips but stop as burning passion overwhelms you.

"Good boy!" Your new Goddess purrs. "Now..." A predatory look forms on your Mistress' face as she opens her salivating mouth and pierces yours with her tongue.

Bliss overcomes you the moment you are ensnared, making your knees give away along with the world around you.

A primal, gleeful growl builds in Her throat when She catches you from falling and only grows the more you give into and rely on Her.

You, overwhelmed and giving in, stare blankly at the growing storm behind your Goddesses' head.

She continues Her feasting well after the storm has destroyed what little remains of the world until you, Her, and the Echo are one.

...

...

Your upper body shoots up as you awaken hot and panting for air.

It takes you a minute to get your bearings before you fall back on to your bunk.

That is the last time you have late thought conversations with Darth Nox or think about women before you go to bed on a planet overwhelmingly powerful in the Dark Side.

Not that many Sith have knowledge of it but you can find remnants as well as instructions all over Korriban to try and get some hands-on experience. Either that or you can try your hand with the current Dark Council head of Biotic Science

>[X] Make your way to the meditation chambers and center yourself, you can't be off when you teach the Acolytes the Sith Code.
>[X] Head to the medbay, best see how the others are fairing after their initial treatment and some rest.

Right now, you're too off balance to properly speak the words of the Sith Code with earnestness. Centering your mind and your beliefs will put you in the right mindset to impart the wisdom of the first Sith who came before. Once you've gotten that done, you can shoot down whatever objection or disbelief the acolytes may display in their ignorance.

You slide out of your bunk, reinforce yourself with the Force, and take off as fast as you can to the meditation chambers.

The moment you find yourself in one of the open cubes, you seat yourself in the center and will the contraption closed.

An hour or two passes before you are reassured in yourself.

Willing the meditation container open, you stand and step out.

The Dark Side is your tool, you are not a slave to your whims or It as a beast is.

You nod to yourself and head off to the medbay.

Somewhat experienced sacks of healed, partially chewed meat are what you see when you return to the crisp medical facility. The acolytes in the kolto tanks bear far less gaping chunks in their flesh than they did the afternoon before. Most of the bedridden acolytes look healed enough for another excursion into the tombs, though you doubt they'd be so willing to do so again.

You're back.

Blinking, you look up at the metallic ceiling

I have, yes. Judging by the sound of your thoughts, you are in a better shape than you were when we last communicated like this.

Huh, I am. This 'kolto' is amazing!

You raise an eyebrow.

What backwater planet do you come from to not know what kolto is?

Hutta.

Grimacing at the thought of that literal hive of scum, you grunt.

That explains that.

Yeah, a lot of the other acolytes have been saying that whenever I ask them a question about all these strange and wonderful things.

You lean against the nearby wall.

Whoever this guy is has a lot to learn in spite of his knowledge of mind manipulation.

Would be awfully impolite of you to just walk away from the telepathic conversation without warning or notice. You're not in any hurry to get out of here and do something just yet. Besides, you're curious to find out who this young man is and how long he's had his power.

What's your name?

Yang, or at least I think that's my name: marsh rats like me never exactly had parents to name us.

A hum murmurs in your throat.

Exactly how long have you been capable of communicating like this?

Just yesterday when I felt you listening in. If you mean use the Force, for as long as I can remember. I never knew it was called the Force, though. Kind of cool but a little... basic, don't you think?

You raise an eyebrow.

Basic?

Yeah, basic, you know? Like, of all things it could be called it's the Force. I mean, I can't come up with a better name, but the Force is just so... uninspired. All I can say is if I was the first person to ever use it, I wouldn't be calling it the Force.

Shrugging, you close your eyes.

Well, we have the Jedi to blame for that.

Jedi? I've heard them mentioned by the other acolytes, but I'm not sure who they're supposed to be.

You open your eyes and narrow them.

They're our sworn enemies from our very foundation when Ajunta Pall ruled over and became one with our people, the Ancient Sith, millennia ago. If you had been found by an officer of the Republic, you would've taken to a Jedi temple and indoctrinated into their self-destructive dogma. Someone with your potential and lack of emotional connections would've been valuable to them, but we found you first.

I have potential?

Nodding, a confirming hum rumbles in your throat.

Keep it a secret from the others, your power will give you an edge over them.

Okay, I'm not sure why, but I feel like I can trust you... and I've never trusted anyone before in my entire life; why are you helping me?

You shake your head.

I'm not, you'll see.

In all likelihood, you will kill Yang either at the end of your trials or halfway through them.

>[X] Nox, are you awake? I forgot to ask you if you got those records I asked for.

How irresponsible of you to forget about the favor you asked from a Dark Council member with a bone to pick against your father. She probably forgot all about it or put aside some of the material she found that she think may benefit you. It's not like you think you'll find any help in her findings but it will leave you curious and wanting.

Nox, are you awake? I forgot to ask you if you got those records I asked for.

Of course I'm awake, Little Magnus, I am the head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge. Do you think I sleep in and meditate with acolytes all day?

You tilt your head.

Well, that is what we did for quite some time the other day.

It was an exception I made for you, be grateful.

I am grateful. Now, did you get the records I asked for?

Now did I?

You visibly cringe.

...Please, Nox, let's not do this.

Do what?

You know exactly what I'm communicating to you telepathically about.

A chiding coo purrs in your mind.

Caeles' aversion to fun is rubbing off on you, Little Magnus. You best be careful or you'll grow up to be as joyless a man as he is.

Sighing, you shut your eyes.

You have no idea what gives him joy. Now, the records about Echoes in the Force... please.

Come to my office and don't mind Khem, he's just in a foul mood.

Brooding over his fallen lord, is he?

An annoyed sigh echoes in your mind.

Yes, as if I wasn't enough of a Sith for him! So what if I'm not the Empress yet?! I'm more in tune with the Dark Side and far more Force Abilities than Tulak Hord ever was! Sith Sorcery is nothing more than a cheap parlor trick! Sure, I haven't single-handedly slayed over a thousand Jedi yet, but I'm working my way there!

Raising an eyebrow, a curious hum rumbles in your throat.

Sith Alchemy is something you've had interest in for some time, but Sith Sorcery is something that eludes everyone save the Emperor himself. Naga Sadow is said to have been nigh-invulnerable and all-powerful through his magic. Stars would die with a mere gesture of his hands.

You shrug.

For now, you should just focus on things within your reach.

Keeping a Dark Council member that can render you a babbling, drooling mindslave waiting isn't at all a wise thing for you to do. You'll get to the madwoman's office, get what you asked from her, and resume accomplishing the tasks in your agenda today. Hopefully, she got you everything the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge has on Force Echoes. There might be some knowledge closed off even to her.

Pushing yourself off the wall with your foot, you walk out of the medbay.

A few more acolytes and Academy staff are up & about when you get to your new mentor's office.

Your blood run's cold the moment you enter the range of Nox's permeating aura.

By the Darth's side, a hulking beast of Dark Side energy partially armored glares at you. "Master, the whelp of the Je'narianjat is here and alone. Shall I kill him?" He takes a step toward you and grasps the handle of the massive vibroblade strapped to his back.

"Down, Khem, Little Magnus is now one of my apprentices. Plus, it would do me no good to have dear Caeles out for my blood...for now."

"As you wish." The Dashade steps back and lets go of the grip of his sword.

You keep your eyes on the Force User eater the entire time it takes for you to walk to your self-appointed master's desk.

"Aww, you scare him, Khem." Nox coos.

"I am not responsible for his weakness or his cowardice, master." Khem Val speaks in his ancient tongue, only really being understood through the Force by you and his master less so.

Rolling your eyes, you glance down at a datapad filled presumably with the knowledge you seek. "Is that one of those pads with terabytes worth of memory or is that really all we have on Force Echoes?"

"There's not much written about the subject or worth writing about. In regards to Force Anomalies, echoes are not as noticeable or worth much investigating as others. Most are formed in result of great massacres and genocide on such a scale that the Force itself reacts. Korriban is, in many ways, home to powerful Dark Side energy not because of the Sith's innate connection to it but because our ancestors were slaughtered by the 'peacekeepers' of the galaxy until what few survived fled. In some cases, echoes are formed through a being's or planet's great suffering largely for no apparent reason whatsoever, leaving the area ravaged or where that being died tainted with Dark Side energy and spreading the Echo of what happened there."

Ajunta Pall's phantom suffering for no real reason before being granted Oblivion crosses your mind.

It seems there are more ways to spread the Dark Side than through simple Sith teachings.

You pick up the data pad and stash it one of the pouches of your utility belt.

Whatever other information is in those files will have to wait until you're ready to delve into them.

That's enough time you've spent mulling about the Academy. You've got an Overseer to help sear the Sith Code into some Acolytes' minds. Some will probably accept without argument, some may reject yet be convinced eventually, and a few will have to be literally beaten. After you're done with that, you can spend the rest of the day as you like and the rest of the month dropping in and out to help them with their understanding of the Sith way.

"Darth Nox, thank you for your time and for your assistance." Bowing, you make your first steps back before turning and exiting the Dark Council member's office.

You walk your way out of the Korriban Sphere of Ancient Knowledge and make your way to Tremel's office

Sensing your presence, the dark-skinned man raises his eyes from his office computer to you. "Magnus. Prepared to impart your understanding of what it means to be Sith to acolytes and diluted filth?"

An eyebrow of yours rises as you nod your head. "Yes, I am ready, Overseer."

"The other Acolytes are not, however. It seems we'll both have to wait until their weak minds are free of their chemical influence and bodily weakness. Even then, I suspect to hear more than enough wingeing about their injuries." The man narrows his eyes at you. "...I sense your confusion."

"My apologies, Overseer Tremel, you sound very agitated by the thought of teaching some of the acolytes."

The grey-haired man nods. "I am. Almost every acolyte in your group is from a planet our ancestors did not settle nor conquer. Instead of the ideal Sith, day by day we are becoming nothing more than those who speak of being Sith without being of the Sith. While I understand the need for fresh blood, it cannot be blood that is not even ours. I do not wish to see our people become nothing more than the Mandalorians who use the Dark Side of the Force."

Lowering your eyebrow, you frown. "While I understand your preference for those with Sith blood, it would do us no good to deny the opportunity for a powerful Force User to intermingle and become one with our people. Even the first Je'nari had no Sith blood coursing through his veins."

"Your father said the same when we first discussed this subject so many years ago back when he was an acolyte." A smile forms on the old overseer's weathered face. "While I still disagree, I understand your point of view."

A small hum murmurs in your throat, but you don't bother continuing the conversation.

You doubt the bias will ever die for as long as your kind live though that goes for all things.

>[X] "How is it that my father bested you with a warblade?"
>[X] Read the datapad on Echoes while you wait for the Acolytes, may as well.

A part of you has been dying to hear how your father accomplished that marvelous feat as a mere acolyte since you first heard the story. Of course, it can be attributed to his potential and gift for melee combat but still. You have no idea how you'd beat someone experienced with a lightsaber using an advanced training saber.

"How is it that my father bested you with a warblade?"

"Caeles pressed the weight of his warblade and his body against my blade to keep my lightsaber away from his vitals during the times I managed to close the distance between us. When I managed to slip my blade arm through his oppressive block, he would jump back or push me back using the Force. He adapted his style to my countertactics as I adapted to his. Ultimately, he started with an upper hand and never let up until he forced me down. I am sure his warblade needed extensive repairs afterward due to the numerous deep burnmarks my lightsaber left on the weapon."

You raise a hand to your chin.

It's unlike your father to have fought on the defensive, but that fight likely took place before he learned Juyo. In that situation, it would have been necessary to fight overly defensive. He was very unlikely to have been equipped with cortosis-weave robes.

Shrugging away your thoughts, you lean against the nearest wall and slide down it as you pull out your datapad.

Two and a half hours pass by until you almost finish reading the material Nox provided you and the first of the acolytes shows up.

The records and accounts speak of visions, faint screams, and the last words said by those who were struck down without meaning nor purpose. Examples of planets exhibiting great Force Echoes are provided by some of the texts along with some small locations. An entire book's worth of knowledge is dedicated to a single ruin of a planet that is practically a gaping wound in the Force, one that is an echo in of itself that can drive even seasoned Sith insane: Malachor V.

You stand up from your seated position to watch the rest of the surviving acolytes walk in.

Frowns, scowls, and thinned-out lips adorn the faces of your new philosophy students.

Time for you to flounce your stuff as they say.

>[X] "Greetings, Acolytes. I am Magnus Faxerus and I am here today to tell you all what it means to be Sith. You will understand our ways, and you will understand how to use our beliefs against our enemies."

Best to properly introduce yourself before you teach them all what they need to know. They already heard your name once, but they probably weren't in the right frame of mind then. After more than half of them have died and all of them have suffered grievous wounds, they'll definitely understand who and what your spotless form is. You are the picture perfect image of what a promising Sith apprentice should be.

You make your way to the middle of the room to stand in front of the small group. "Greetings, Acolytes. I am Magnus Faxerus and I am here today to tell you all what it means to be Sith. You will understand our ways, and you will understand how to use our beliefs against our enemies."

"We already know your name." One of the twi'lek acolytes you recognize from the kolto tanks scoffs. "Beliefs are nothing but beliefs, they don't mean anything or do anything."

Taking a step forward, you glare at the man in question. "Do you know what I am now that you've been through what you have? Do you not understand your inferiority?" You take several steps back from the seething acolyte. "My belief in the Sith ways and the Sith Code have made me what I am."

"Can you tell us what they are, Magnus?" A familiar voice belonging to a human acolyte not as bandaged as the rest says.

You smile at Yang and look at the group as a whole. "Peace is a lie, there is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. I don't expect any of you to understand right now, but that is why we have an entire month to spend with one another until you do."

Sighs of relief escape the lips of the acolytes like a chorus.

If only they realized what the rest of the Sith trials entail for them.

Tremel is likely to flaunt your superiority and his elitist views at them, which is not what you want them to hear. You've been put on this test for unknown purposes, but you'll make the most of it. It shouldn't be too hard for you to explain what the Sith Code means, and how it can give them power over others as well as Jedi. They'll be worthy of being Sith by the time your trials are done.

You gesture downward as you sit down in a meditative position, driving them with the force to make them join you on the office floor.

Four hours of explaining the Sith Code, answering questions, asking prodding questions, and presenting objecting philosophies for rebuttal go by.

Almost every acolyte is mentally and physically exhausted by the time you're sure they understand the Sith Code and its power.

You stand up and stretch yourself out. "I think that's enough for today." Turning back, you see an amused-looking Tremel. "Do you think so as well, Overseer?"

"Of course, Magnus. You handled teaching these filth our code far better than I would have." He looks to the bandaged acolytes. "All of you can return to the medbay and continue licking your wounds."

The wounded would-be Sith groan and whimper as they stretch their legs again finally.

Yang, yawning, approaches you rather than exits your overseer's office. "The Sith code sounded simple at first until you explained every part of it." He rubs the back of his seemingly stiff neck. "Who taught you it?"

"My mother and father."

"Oh yeah, Tremel said your father was the Emperor's Wrath, didn't he? What exactly does that mean?"

You raise an eyebrow before remembering who you're talking to and where he's from. "He's the Emperor's enforcer and the second most powerful Sith in the Empire."

"Wow," the bandaged boy blinks, "who's your mom then?"

"Grand Inquisitor, a position many think far too powerful that should be delegated to the Dark Council, even though its power mainly rests in indicting Sith of apostasy."

"...You're basically untouchable is what I'm getting right now."

You shrug. "If you exclude the numerous times my father has thrown me into mortal danger and my mother has grievously electrocuted me, pretty much, yeah.

Holding his sides, Yang laughs much to his own physical discomfort. "And here I thought having parents would be pretty nice. Guess it can't be too bad if all you have to be scared of is them."

"I won't deny that."

Really, you'd be far more scared of Nox if you weren't always in the shadow of your parents' political and literal power.

Maybe not a perfect recreation but at least an attempt at a pliable servant

Pretty much yeah, Caeles has reached his mastery with the form by using it more than any of his others though. He only uses them when the opportunity strikes and it rarely does because he's usually killed everyone by the time he's closed the distance.

Force reinforcement is more about making yourself on an even playing field with someone above you in terms of physical ability. If you're going against someone with the same level of Force Reinforcement as you, you're going to be on equal playing fields if your mastery with a particular style is at the same level. You will, however, get a bonus depending on how high your reinforcement is above another force user's. Non-force users are often fucked in physical combat thanks to this nifty ability. Master Vibroblade duelists will fuck you over if you rely on it over your skills, though. Don't expect any advantage over experienced non-force users at all, really. They'll know not to confront you in a direct fight or play your bullshit space magic game.

You're going to be using Force Reinforcement more often against beasts than other Force Users, basically. Makashi gives you bonuse modifiers against all other forms but I'm not sure what to set it at.

Voting closed; writing now.

How fun
Does Mace Windu’s super special form of force exist yet, if it doesn’t making a force user specific martial art would be pretty fun

>Makashi gives you bonuse modifiers against all other forms but I'm not sure what to set it at
You can always give or take from the DC depending on the situation, mostly because Makashi is THE lightsaber dueling form. I find it easier to change the DC depending on tings like iniciative, failed strikes, feints and the like.

But hey, I haven't ryb ib /qst/ so dunno.

If you mean the time Mace fisted a bunch of droids to death, that's basically force reinforcement applied to martial arts.

If you mean his half-assed Juyo (Vapaad), Caeles is basically on the level of Golden Age Sith Grand Duelists i.e the kind that could throw the Exile, Kreia, and Scion around like they were fumbling children. He wouldn't be Legendary if he weren't.

Although, the Exile would have likely had a lot of time to train with Revan in the Unknown Regions. And his growth was exponential throughout KOTOR 2.... Maybe you'll see him prove Kreia wrong.

>>4033929
That's usually how I handle changes in distance, position, and preparedness. I'll think on it for now.

>>4033959
Kinda like when he fisted a bunch of droids to death but also more, in a perfect world I’d like to make a martial art that uses Force Body reinforcement concentrated in an area to catch lightsabers and dodge blaster bolts but that’s really blue sky-ing it

>[X] "What did you learn in the tombs, Yang? Did you meditate on the altar?"

>(1/2)

You are powerful in the Force but the sacrificial chamber taught you a pretty basic Dark Side force ability. Really, you would have preferred learning Force Lighting, but beggars can't be choosers. Yang has a lot of untapped potential from what you can tell. It's possible the energy of the chamber taught him more. The galaxy is filled with unfairness like that.

"What did you learn in the tombs, Yang? Did you meditate on the altar?"

"If by meditate you mean a black Force fog forced itself into my body, yes. I'm not sure I learned anything than how to push things away longer than usual."

Raising an eyebrow, you shoot him a questioning look. "Do you feel any different than before it happened then?"

"Eh, I'm...colder. Like, I feel more calmer than I should be: people were being eaten alive in that tomb and I ran past them like they were some kind of gizka. I've seen people die and eaten before, but they never got a chance to scream while they were being eaten alive."

"Not to interrupt, but surely you two have a far better area to socialize in than my office, do you not?" Tremel speaks up.

You and Yang share a look before walking out of the old man's office and into his office hall.

"It's the Dark Side: it can make you more callous if you're not careful, make you forget that certain things should matter and do matter for a reason. If you already didn't care much about others, they'll be as animals to you now. Let the Dark Side control you instead of controlling it will make you view everyone as your pets and pawns to be used and discarded at a moments notice."

>(2/2)

Yang raises an eyebrow of his own. "But isn't that the Sith way? Disposing of those who aren't useful, letting your desires drive you, and doing whatever is necessary?"

"Yes, that is the Sith way. However, you shouldn't let your desires rule you or kill someone who doesn't need to die: you will seek freedom yet end a slave who's destroyed countless others for little reason than their apparent lack of use to you and only you. Children need their fathers and mothers, governments need their citizens, militaries need their soldiers, and Sith need their followers. There can always be a use for someone, never forget that. Otherwise, you won't be using everything at your disposal as a good Sith does."

"Is that how you see it or most Sith do?"

A grimace forms on to your face. "Many of us unfortunately give in to our paranoia, callousness, and egos instead of doing what's best for ourselves and the people of the Empire. What is fortunate is that such Sith are looked down upon by our more wizened, more powerful members and are often put to death if witnessed going too far."

"And doing whatever is necessary?"

"You should do whatever is necessary. Always keep in mind that what you are doing should be truly necessary, not what you think may be necessary, and that your drastic actions do have drastic consequences, foreseen and unforeseen."

"Really sounds like you should've told the other acolytes that."

Humming, you raise a hand to your chin. "I should have, but it never came up."

Young Sith are often the worst and most susceptible to succumbing to their adolescent desires. Those who make it to Darth often get over it after some time. Unfortunately, those like Nox live to spread their vitriol. She is far from being the worst, at the very least. Woman just needs some more time to unwind and get comfortable in her position collecting powerful artifacts from the past. Maybe once she's had a child or realizes the colossal amount of work that goes into taking over an Empire she'll settle down.

Time to Alchemy, even though I'm probably the one dude who doesn't care for it all that much.

>Maybe once she's had a child or realizes the colossal amount of work that goes into taking over an Empire she'll settle down.

HAH! GOOD JOKE! VERY GOOD JOKE I LAUGH!

It’d be grand to make him into a follower, then fuck with him using Sith Alchemy

>>4034128
But still choose to delve into his mind?

>>4034136
Yes, it’d be handy and even if we fail it’d teach him something at least
