Welcome to Cyphan. While they are technically a Seperatist world, succeeding from the Republic about a year ago, they are not a violent planet and have not chosen to support the Trade Federation or other militaries. Instead, they are an Independent World, trading with both sides, and acting as neutral ground for the two sides to come together.

They have a fairly weak central government, a direct democracy, in which all officials are elected, and all of them are removed from office once public confidence in them falls to below 50%. All citizens may alter their vote at any time, voting either yes or no on their support for each elected official or law. Laws are created in the Senate, but have no power until the people ratify them with a 50% or greater vote.

Cyphan also has its own force tradition, formed mostly by ex-Jedi and ex-Sith several thousand years ago after they fled their respective groups and came to Cyphan, called the Cyphan Way. This tradition treats the Force as an extension of life, not a mystical field which must be revered. To them, there is no light side or dark side in the same way there are no inherently evil lifeforms or inherently good lifeforms. These concepts merely represent the good and evil sides of life, the social and anti-social if you will. The Force is a gift or a tool, the same way a musician may have a gift for art, or an engineer may have a gift for doing math. It makes no more sense to revere the Force than it would make to revere Math or Art.

The law of the planet tries to treat everyone as equals, though sometimes it fails. As such, the ability to use the Force does not place one above the law. A Force user who uses there power to kill will be treated the same as a person who uses a blaster to kill.

We just heard of the Battle of Geonosis. The cold War has turned hot, and we are in the middle of it. Both sides have come here to try and recruit our people, including the Jedi and the Sith through Dooku, and some people have joined one side or the other, believing in their cause.

We are a group of refugees and natives returning home who must decide how to deal with this war. Do we choose a side and fight? Do we remain neutral? To we support one side without fighting? The fate of the planet, and even the Galaxy, rests on the decisions that ordinary people make. Where will our decisions lead the world?

Interested!

cool. I added a CS if you want to add one for your character. If not, that's cool too.

Name: Kilgaris Pom

Race: Sith

Appearance: His skin tone is a deep red. He has 2 inch long bone spurs potruding from his elbows. He has higher cheekbones then the average pure-blood and very long cheek tendrils. His eyes glow yellow normally and turn red when he's angry. He had three digits on each hand, all of them ending in razor sharp claws. He had very keen senses.

Force Tradition: Sith

Force powers: Through letting his rage do the talking he has learnt telekinesis and has gotten rather strong with it ranging from a force push to a force choke. His force lightning is also a very powerful force to be reckoned with. However despite this he has no talent in force healing and has not yet learnt any sorcery.

Skills:
He is learning how to fly.
Can use blades very well whether using two, one or a double bladed blade he has learnt how to wield them well changing styles with ease depending on the opponent. He has also learnt how to use the family relic of the lanvarok.
Acrobatics.

Personality: Has a very set mindset and would NEVER shy away from a fight. If he gives into his anger (and he often does) he goes into a beserk rage that enhances his skills but blinds him of morality. Surprisingly however when not in a rage he is a complete contrast. Very calm and dignified he is a very laid back and controlled person.

Backstory:
Thousands of years ago the exiled dark jedi discovered the planet Korriban and the dark side sensitive species called the sith that lived there. The dark jedi enslaved them and took over their worlds interbreeding with the species. A large group from another planet of the sith discovered through the force that they were to be their slaves. Although the majority thought the dark jedi were godlike and wanted to worship them a few didn't and flew away on a colony ship landing on an isolated world that the locals called Dathomir. Many years passed and some of them decided to leave the world in favour of a more suitable one, Cyphan.
Kilgaris was born a few years before the decision was made and during those 5 years trained in combat by both Dathomirians AND his fellow Sith who also taught him in the ways of the force. Travelling to Cyphan he kept training. 20 years on he heard about the Geonosis war...

Sith race is fine. Technically, they shouldn't exist, though, as the purer blood ones were wiped out by the Jedi and any Sith DNA is so dilute that they aren't really considered Sith any more. If you want to have a group of them survive somewhere, though, that's fine, but it would have to be hidden. Dathomir is remote enough to work.

The only problem I see if that twenty years before the battle of Geonosis, the Sith force tradition consisted of Darth Plegius and Darth Sideous. He could have learned to use the Force from the Dathomiri, or an ancient form of the Sith force tradition from his people, though. Or he could have met Count Duuku, Darth Sideous, Darth Maul, or maybe Ventress and gotten enough training to switch traditions, though that would be fairly recently.

@TheUnknowable I don't quite get what you mean there.
Just in case this DOES answer it he learnt the force from his fellow Sith from them keeping up the old Korribian force traditions.

Ok, that makes sense.
