#sith warrior assassin

[moontheoretist]

Tasha: Let me top you instead, hun.

I've made my first male character in SWTOR just to romance Theron Shan, and look at me now, simping for Vemrin - my enemy in the Sith Academy. That is something I DIDN'T expect to be doing, lol.

Vemrin: So you're Overseer Tremel's secret weapon, huh? Impressive, to be sure. Afraid the old man waited too long to make his move, though.

Vemrin: I'm Vemrin, and unlike you I've fought and bled for everything I have. I demand respect.

Tasha: Are you saying I haven't earned my way?

Vemrin: Please. Everyone knows what Tremel is doing. If Overseer Tremel had made his move a year ago, when I first arrived, you might've had a chance. But now-too little, too late.

Dolgis: This is ridiculous, Vemrin. Let's just kill him and hide the body.

Vemrin: We're not on Balmorra anymore, Dolgis. There are rules. Traditions. We'll leave the shortcuts to Overseer Tremel and his last pathetic hope here.

Tasha: You're not very good with people, are you?

Vemrin: You're not funny. Just pathetic. And you've been warned.

Klemral: Look here, Vemrin. I see the upstart but no sign of Dolgis.

Vemrin: I underestimated you by sending Dolgis. It will not happen again. [if only game allowed SW say something here, Tasha'd be like:]

Tasha: What if I just slammed you in the wall and kissed you? What would be your reaction? That could be something interesting to see.

Me the player: *imagining Tasha slamming Vemrin into a wall and kissing him in front of his fellow acolytes, then dodging his punch while athletically jumping backwards and smirking at his dumb-founded face like a truly gay disaster Sith that he is*

Tasha: I have little to no interest in anything Vemrin says or does, master. Baras: The tension is thick between you two. A great source of emotion to feed on. I wonder what will happen when it boils over.

Me the player: SEX, OF COURSE!

Baras selling ships like candies, lol.

Tasha was in the library of the Korriban's Sith Academy when Vemrin approached him. With witnesses around, he wouldn't do anything rash, so Tasha didn't pay much mind to him, continuing to shift through the volumes to read to advance his studies.

"Why aren't you responding to my challenges? What game are you playing? Are you trying to provoke me, so I would make the first move and fall into some kind of trap?”

Tasha sighed tiredly, and responded without even looking at him.

“You have worked hard to be where you are. I respect that. There is no point in me trying to overthrow your chance to become a Sith if it doesn't pose any threat to my advancement”.

"Don't be naive. We all are threats to other Acolytes. Not everybody can graduate from the Sith Academy. Most of the Acolytes die either killed in the Tombs, by their Masters or other Acolytes" he stated matter-of-factly, before he added:

"Overseer Tremel didn't bring you here, so you would dilly-dally. He wanted you to destroy me. Don't tell me that you are afraid to do what he wanted you to do?" Clearly trying to taunt Tasha.

Tasha looked at him now, one eyebrow raised as if to pointedly insinuate that what Vemrin said was daft.

"Did it ever occur to you that I may have changed my mind and decided to not listen to the Overseer that brought me here?" he asked casually. "I killed him not because Baras told me to. I did it, because his beliefs sicken me".

He changed his stance to a more open one, before continuing, as if trying to convey that what he was saying is sincere.

"I don't believe that Siths should stay pure to the Sith bloodlines, even though I myself am considered pure despite looking nothing like the Red Siths” he stated as if it was obvious. “I also don't believe that the half-bloods like you have no place in the Sith Empire. To the contrary, I think having people like you around, is beneficial regardless of your blood purity status".

That seemed to give Vemrin a pause. Still, it was visible that he didn't believe Tasha entirely. Looking for the deception.

"Suit yourself then. Don't expect me to spare you if you stand in my way to be Sith though" he said with a sneer.

"Great, that's everything I want".

But then Baras was like.

Baras: But only one of you will have the opportunity to claim a special lightsaber and serve as my apprentice. I thought it would be you, Vemrin, but I've changed my mind.

Vemrin: What? I've done everything you've asked. Better than any of the others! The honor should be mine!

Tasha: I'm sorry, Vemrin. I know how much you were gunning for this.

Baras: Today, Vemrin is every bit your rqual but the Force is stronger with you, acolyte, and there is a power sleeping within you. It was a simple decision.

My baby, sincere to the end. He really wanted Vemrin to succeed.

Vette: Hey, this is it. The secret entrance to the hidden cavern is in here. Just let me get my bearings.

Tasha: Oh good, we were getting lonely, and now look who's decided to join the party--my old friend Vemrin.

Vemrin: My legacy has suffered long enough. After today, you will be forgotten. It ends here and now.

Ah, dang it, Vemrin. And we could have such cute babies together!

Vemrin: Becoming Baras' apprentice was my destiny. Did I come this far and overcome such adversity, only to be proven unworthy?

Tasha: Don't be so hard on yourself, Vemrin. You have been a worthy opponent.

Vemrin: Shut up! There is only victory or death.

Vemrin: I refuse to live a... lesser life. Finish me. I will not accept mercy.

This romance ended so tragically. Ow.

(I didn't pick any DS "kill him" options despite being given two of them, so I don't know if Tasha has slain him or not in the end).

Bunch of old Ira Tacita-verse Sith Warrior doodles from my 2023 playthrough that I can't believe I never shared, featuring:

Idris, king of self-loathing, repression, and resting Sith face

his BFFs 5ever <3

the bald Wraths

and my chaotic gremlin Inquisitor, Jinev (she would be on his friend list, but keeps killing NPCs for fun and making him sad)

Now to continue procrastinating and ring in 2025 by replaying the Imperial class stories yet again. Crunchy new textures, here I come...

[nathemablackmoon]

Look who’s fallen back into that rabbit hole called SWTOR

[ebitenpura]

Eight: stars you are extremely fucking selfish. die

Colonel Korrd: I am 32 years old

Korrd was quaking in his boots here which was incredibly satisfying given that it looked like he was seconds from shitting his pants, but to rub it in further, Eight chose to blackmail him. Not in the 'give me all your stuff' way, but the subtle veiled threat that said I will collect. I'm really mad I didn't get any screenshots of that moment because Eight's look was outright murder.

Honestly Eight was so intimidating here that I thought Korrd was about to cry when he said he understood, lol. Like his voice was so trembly and lightheaded, kudos to the VA who got across his sheer terror underneath his Imperial restraint.

It's no secret that Eight hates wastefulness, but my god does he really love putting the screws to people and making them sleep with one eye open.

^ Eight when Korrd asks if he did it out of the goodness of his heart

ROUND TWO: MATCH-UP FOUR

Genuinely did not expect this one to happen, but here we go!

Remember, this is NOT about who would win in a fight. This is about who makes the best leader for Mandalore as a whole.

Explanation post

Seeding

Propaganda below the cut! You can submit more on this post and I will reblog it back to here!

TARRE VIZSLA

Anon: He was both a Jedi and a Mandalorian warrior. This means he had at least some knowledge of politics and how people work, and was a badass fighter. Both are important for leading a culture with a heavy focus on combat. He could also get advice from the Force, even if it was just a vague sense of whether or not something's a bad idea. (Also he was the one who created the darksaber, which isn't important on its own, but since it's his saber being used as a symbol of leadership, that implies he was at the very least a decent leader.)

ALPHA-17

@ihuntmonsters: He’s uhhh super badass and sexy and kicks ass and is really awesome and I’m in love with him Perfect propaganda yes. He shall lead Mandalore

Anon: He's pretty good with training children! He is very good at inspiring loyalty! He is very willing to go after sith lords with just his teeth if he has to!

Anon: Vote for Alpha he’s got Cody’s thighs, Fox’s tits and Wolffe’s ass. He’s also a DILF, if you consider the shebse squad/command batch headcanons. And who wouldn’t want a Mand'alor like that?

Anon: Alpha-17 would be a great mandolorian leader I mean look at those Pecs! What else do u need in a leader?

Anon: HERES WHY ALPHA-17 FOR THE WIN: HE WILL ASSASSINATE ALL OF THE OTHER POLITICAL FIGURES WHICH MEANS DEAD SKEVY SHEEVY PALPATINE AND WHO DOESNT WANT THAT?

Anon: What a guy. I love him so much. He's such an asshole. Alpha-17 was part of the second test batch of clones of Jango Fett, one of a group of 100, and as such he was trained directly by Jango Fett in the art of war; these early batches who had more contact with their Mandalorian trainers are commonly considered to have a stronger claim to 'Mandalorian-ness' because of this exposure and learning experience than clones from the later, larger batches

Anon: Propaganda for Alpha 17: tall

Anon: Alpha-17 should rule Mandalore because a good king doesn’t want the power of the throne and he does not want that at all. also he’s the funniest choice. might have the skills to not get killed by maul

NEW: @ihuntmonsters: more propaganda for alpha-17: - he takes no shit from anyone he will kick ass - sassed obiwan the sassmaster multiple times - oh god oh god oh god oh god i love him i love him i love him

"We are brothers. The true Lords of the Sith."

The Sith Triumvirate: Darth Maul, Savage Opress, and Feral Opress

- Command of Crimson Dawn: Maul oversees Crimson Dawn’s operations, leveraging the resources and manpower of the underworld to fortify their position and execute complex operations.

Role and Responsibilities:

- Frontline Enforcer: Savage Opress serves as the brute force of the Triumvirate, often leading charges and engaging in frontline combat. His overwhelming strength and formidable combat skills make him a fearsome warrior.

- Protector and Executor: Savage guards his brothers, particularly Maul, ensuring their safety in the midst of battle. He also carries out Maul’s orders with unwavering loyalty, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies. He carries out executions with pleasure, his lust for murder unlike any Sith that has come before.

Abilities:

- Giant Physique and Enhanced Strength: Savage’s immense size and strength, amplified by dark side enhancements, make him capable of overpowering opponents with raw force.

- Weapon Proficiency: Though often seen with a lightsaber, Savage is versatile and skilled with a variety of weapons, making him adaptable in combat.

2. Combined Combat Prowess

- Tactical Versatility: The distinct combat styles of Maul, Savage, and Feral allow them to handle a wide array of situations, from large-scale battles to stealth missions and one-on-one duels.

- Synergy in Battle: When fighting together, the brothers form a lethal team. Maul’s strategic oversight, Savage’s raw power, and Feral’s agility create a dynamic and adaptable force.

3. Fear and Influence

- Imposing Presence: The combined presence of the Triumvirate projects an aura of fear and inevitability. Their exploits and victories solidify their reputation as nearly unstoppable warriors deeply connected to the dark side.

- Influence over Followers: Their command over Crimson Dawn and allied forces is strengthened by their fearsome reputation. Followers and allies are inspired by their power and ruthlessly efficient leadership.

Impact on the Galactic Conflict

1. Orchestrating Chaos

- Destabilizing the Republic: Through coordinated attacks and strategic planning, the Triumvirate aims to destabilize the Republic, targeting key infrastructure and sapping the resolve of its defenders.

- Undermining the Jedi: Maul’s personal vendetta against the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order, particularly Obi-Wan Kenobi, drives many of their operations, seeking to break his enemy's strength and influence across the galaxy.

2. Expanding Dominance

- Territorial Expansion: The Triumvirate oversees the expansion of Crimson Dawn’s influence, capturing vital territories and establishing control over key trade routes and supply lines.

- Conquests and Alliances: By forging alliances with other criminal organizations and leveraging their military might, the Triumvirate expands their reach and power within the galaxy.

Conclusion

The Sith Triumvirate, composed of Darth Maul, Savage Opress, and Feral Opress, represents the epitome of dark side mastery, strategic brilliance, and raw combat power. Each brother brings unique strengths to their alliance, making them an almost invincible force dedicated to Sith supremacy and vengeance.

As they continue their campaign to bring down the Republic and the Jedi Order, the galaxy trembles at the mere mention of their names. Their unity, driven by blood ties and shared ambition, ensures that their influence grows ever stronger, promising a future where the Sith and Dathomir reign supreme, and their enemies are left in ruins.

sometimes a family is you (a sith apprentice, who doesn't give a shit about her master, and also found out that the master is plotting against her from her... uhh... great-great-grandfather's ghost. in a dream.), a flirty bounty hunter who started following you around and haven't stopped since, a socially awkward cyborg sith warrior, an imperial agent who's suspiciously close to being a bounty hunter, his rival catfolk smuggler captain who just wants her goddamn ship back, her brother who's a die-hard republic soldier on a secret mission (and who's awkwardly large and has a tiny motorbike), a jedi knight with questionable priorities, and another jedi knight who's... uhhh... a blind assassin.

Shin Hati vs Sabine Wren:

Sharpen the Blade

So.

Let’s talk about them.

Now, as a disclaimer: I’m firmly in favor for a Sabine and Ezra pairing.

Speaking from my POV as someone who did not ship them during Rebels, watching the trailers for Ahsoka and then seeing the actual show definitely gave me vibes that things had changed for both of them.

So, I am a convert and standing with the good ship Sabezra.

. . . But, I do see the appeal of Sabine and Shin. I’m not blind. I get it.

Filoni loves some good parallels in his Star Wars. I’ve posted before how Sabine is presented as very similar to Anakin in this series; she’s a huge emotional mess, absolutely driven to succeed at her goal, stubborn, loyal to a fault, loves fiercely and fights just the same. She’s a warrior, through and through.

And, also like Anakin, she damned the galaxy for a chance to save a loved one.

So, if Sabine is being set up to be Anakin, then what role will Shin be playing in her life?

Well, let’s look to the past and re-visit another female dark side user that frequently crossed blades with Anakin Skywalker - Asajj Ventress.

A brief history for her: Set up as a rival to Anakin, she gave him that infamous scar on his face. Ventress wasn’t quite a Sith, despite her desire to be one.

She was trained by a Jedi Master, who died at the hands of the criminals he was fighting. She succumbed to the dark side and ended up ruling over them for a time. That went sideways sometime later and then Count Dooku found her and started training Ventress in the dark side of the Force.

Count Dooku was a former Jedi. Baylan Skoll was a former Jedi. Do you see what I’m getting at?

Dooku later abandoned her and she sought revenge on her former master. She spent the rest of the Clone Wars trying to find her place, keeping ahead of Dooku, and sometimes helping Obi-Wan, Anakin, and even Ahsoka when their interests coincided.

Eventually, at the end of the Clone Wars, she met Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. They fell in love but, during an assassination attempt on Dooku, Vos was captured and tortured, resulting in his fall to the dark side. Ventress rescued him and redeemed him, only for Dooku to kill her while doing so.

Her redemption of Quinlan Vos and subsequent sacrifice in doing so led her to being honored by the Jedi as a true friend.

I’m sure after reading some of this, you can see similarities between Ventress and Shin. Both were initially power-hungry but, really, they were just looking for a place to belong.

Despite being a rival to Anakin, Ventress had a more interesting relationship with Obi-Wan. They had to pair up more than a few times during the Clone Wars.

Remember the scene where Ahsoka tells Shin that they can help her? How scared and confused she looks before running off. Baylon had just abandoned her and the enemy was offering her a place to stay.

My personal belief is that Shin is clearly being set up to be a more personal rival to Sabine, but I think if Filoni is really intent on giving a redemptive arc, then it should be the Ahsoka/Shin interactions we should be looking out for.

Not to say that Shin and Sabine wouldn’t be as interesting. Ahsoka replaces Baylon as a mentor, but she also needs a friend. I see them as maintaining the rivalry, but losing the “I want to murder you” edge from their battles.

Rivals are great foils for a protagonist. Ever since Sabine met Shin, her combat skills have improved dramatically. I feel like they could really push each other to greater heights in their abilities and understanding of one another.

Rivals can also teach you things about yourself that a mentor couldn’t. As a dark sided user, maybe Shin could recognize the growing signs of darkness in Sabine and maybe try to point it out to her. Which would be a great step in their journey towards becoming friends.

And . . . maybe something more.

Filoni would have to do it justice, though. It would be great to have a powerful recurring antagonist - not a villain, an antagonist - who slowly realizes over time that they’re fighting for the wrong side.

Or he could have Shin go full fledged dark, which would also be riveting to watch. I’ve already said that she could be an excellent foil for Sabine, but she could also serve as a dark mirror for the young Jedi.

He has to do it right, which means giving it the proper screen-time. Which, I don’t know if he can. He’s already got a lot of spinning plates in the air for a theoretical season two.

One thing’s for sure: Shin is the wild card for this show. Very excited to see what happens next and where she and Sabine take this rivalry.

I now have a basic idea of my swtor light side sith warrior assassin toon

Fearghus "Fernie" Aldwin struggles to find his place and name within the Sith Imperial establishment. He has a disconnect with his parents, not keen on being their heir. Although regarded as one of the best apprentices of his time, there's no eye-to-eye between him and his superior. For the while, he keeps busy carrying out his master's bidding. However, there's a light growing inside him, a new sense of humanity and morality that someday will spark a fire in the hearts and minds of his brethren.

Sorry, got overeager on the send -- #16 -- Why are they aligned the way they are? What moves them?

First thank you for the ask, its ok to be overeager, I appreciate it xD And sorry for the wait I was asleep lol. #16 huh? That would be...*drumroll commences*

Tilrolo Akriasian! My Male Sith Pureblood Sith Warrior whose class is Assassin

*Tilrolo looks at the datapad and the message which it contains* "Hmmm. Why am I aligned the way I am? What moves me? While I am Sith and apart of the Sith Empire, I align more closely with the light. For me its a matter of honor and protection. Most Sith only see what they want and how to take it, I'm more concerned with the people of the Empire and what they need as well as my friends and Master."

[jolyne-best-jojo]

One of the things I find weird about swtor are the people who try to argue Harkun's isn't a worse Overseer then Tremel because they both show bias to one acolyte. This ignores the fact that Tremel's bias for the Sith Warrior is him speedrunning the SW through their trials while Harkun tries to assassinate the Inquisitor, gives Ffon the job of looking through a library for one of his trials and tries to trick Zash into thinking the Inquisitor failed the trial and Ffon succeeded which would've gotten the Inquisitor killed. Like did these people just not pay attention to the story?
