Within the mod that I am going to make (a K3) I'm going to have to have 2 new Sith Lords.

Darth Oriha
She is going to the main conflict of interest until you get towards the end of the game. She is presently in command on the entire True Sith army.

Dark Lord
This Dark Lord will be the highest ruling True Sith Lord in the True Sith Empire. He or she can be an alien or human, male or female. Also if you haven't noticed, I haven't selected a name for the Dark Lord either, you can also enter names in as well for this character.

I would like to know what would the public like to see the two characters as. I need a breif description of both and open to new ideas.

Thank you in advance!

All the sith lords so far have been ugly or old or guys.

Make this one human - and at least one of the more good-looking skins. ;)

There. Women's rights. :D

That is what I thought about in the beginning of my idea. Darth Revan was officially suppose to be a Human, male (information retreived from several documents with people saying that they thought Revan is male). Darth Malak was Human, male. Darth Sion, was Human, male. Keria was Human, female, but old (O.M.G.!!!). The guy on the Ravenger made sense to be Human, male. Darth Vader was Human, male. Darth Sidious was Human, male. I thought that this would be an ideal solution to have a fresh new start for K3.

So is Darth Oriha going to have an appearance that's essentially BloodRayne with some Sith characteristics (metal/pale skin, yellow eyes, possibly minor cracks near the temples...)?

I'm not sure that's why I'm trying to get some ideas. I was thinking at least, the scaring of the face when you begin turning to the dark side, yellow, black, or red eyes. I will consider the cracks near the temples. I think that will be a nice touch.

JawkJrask
I don't have a problem with the Trandoshan but how can you make one female or male. A Trandoshan is a Trandoshan, there arn't any male or female characteristics. I honestly don't have a problem as far as making a Trandoshan. I think it would be a nice touch because from both KotOR games, you don't really know that much about the Trandoshan culture nor any other alien. Their origins could be deep outside of Republic space adding a sinister shadow on the plot.

As he's the ruling True Sith, I think it would be appropriate if he was probably of the original Sith species. Fortunately, there hasn't been a great amount of consistency in published images of the original unaltered Sith; ranging from the almost-human (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Massas.jpg) to the lizardlike (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Zythmnr.jpg) and apelike (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Massassi_warrior.jpg). I think with a bit of artistic license, a talented skinner could probably alter existing Nikto (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Redros.JPG) or Weequay (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Jubei.jpg) skins sufficiently to pull off a "true" Sith, as long as they got the basic features down correctly and included enough of an Egyptian influence in the style of clothing. Either that, or you could just have a Nikto or Weequay Sith Lord. Anything but another Human...

As for naming ideas, how about a typical egocentric Sith one like "Darth Abadda" (derived from Abaddon (Hebrew), meaning "destruction" and coincidentally believed by many Biblical scholars to be a name associated with Satan or the Antichrist)?

HarIII, I think you could make the female by (I'm no modder so I don't know if this is possible) making it slimmer, somewhat taller, and uh, a Slave saying something and at the end to give a clue when the slave says,"This will be done, Milady..."

EDIT: Beefyh; a clue to the Gender...riiiiight? I think so.

I'm just throughing this out on the feild but I was trying to figure out how to create a huge conflict the inflicts the PC character very personally. I thought about making Darth Oriha a female human and True Sith Lord male or female alien. The reason for Darth Oriha being a female human was that in the original trilogy Luke found out that Vader was his farther, K1 the PC found out that he or she was truely Revan, and in K2 he or she found out that the Exile and Keira could possibly destroy the galaxy, I think. In K3 I had an idea to make Darth Oriha the PC's sister. She was abducted from the PC's family when she was only a few years old and the PC has been in search of her for his or her entire life.

In K1 there was the Leviathan, in K2 there was the Ravanger, and in K3 there will be the Acclimator. This will be where the PC will have the final battle with Oriha and during the fight, there will be a pause in the battle. You'll find out that the 2 of you are family and you'll either:

Light Side: convert her to the light and you'll find the True Sith Lord come out and take an object which you are trying to obtain from Oriha. The True Sith will escape with the object (I can't describe this object in detail for it will take too long) and you will want to take revenge against the Sith Lord for abducting your sister and hurting her. (She will definatly have scars and wounds of such from her Sith Training)

Dark Side: You'll kill Oriha thinking that she cannot be converted and unworthy of your help. Then the Sith Lord will come out and take the object talk to you for a bith (giving you information about the True Sith (this will also happen for the Light Side mode)) and the alien will escape. This will give you the driving force in killing the True Sith due to the fact that the Lord did in fact take his sister and send the Pc into a life of searching for nothing.

This can be changed if it has to be but I will have to come up with a new personal effect on the PC. And REMEMBER, I AM open to suggestions!!!!!

Do you want me to be the one who comes up for the names of people for your mod. My imagination is HUGE and at your command :lol:

Darth Viram
Darth Tayron
Darth Marra
Darth Sith'ari
Darth Naktar
Darth Veriak
Darth Pintra
Darth Qivumei

The last one is probable the best because it's the only one that you can't pronounce.

'Viram' sounds like a corruption of the accusative singular form of the word 'vir'. As such it means 'man', not lord. I thought it might be an obscure term, so searched the Perseus Project lexicon, which found no such word.

The normal latin word for 'lord' is 'dominus, -o'.

A word of advice- try to avoid Latin-root names for characters. It doesn't really work that well. If you must, try to use more obscure languages, and terms from them. The Middle East is a gold-mine of cuneiform-based languages that barely differ...from those you can pull enough vocabulary to name a thousand-and-one characters, I'm sure. :)

I could take a look at an elvish dictionary i found online if you want.

Or i could post the link for it here.

Another idea is a site that has Hobbit and Elven name generators for both genders.

I can also post that link if you want.

I personally don't mind any of the names nor appearances concerning the Dark Lords and I this post will be able to continue for a while yet. There are two intire planets that I must create in order to simply get to the first scene with Darth Oriha, then on top of that there are 9 planets that I must make before you see the True Sith Lord for the first time as well. So everybody has plenty of time to decide on what the community wants.

All of the names I personally don't mind. Out of all of them so far, I especially like:
Viram
Virax
Sith'ari

Also names are names and don't go nearly as far as the appearance. The looks will make the characters great. I really need to know what the community would like. I had an idea that everyone can read on post # 22 on this Thread, but people seem to likeing the idea of a remodeled Trandoshan, Weeqray, or another strange looking alien. I need to know if my idea of Darth Oriha will work as being a Human, Female at post 22.

And like I said, I'm still open to new ideas. When I'm ready to construct my first Sith Lord, Oriha, I will reread this thread and find out what the community wants. I'm still open to ideas!!!

harIII, great set-up for the planets but you should keep some of the old ones, just remodeled a bit 'cause the whole 9 yards (or planets in this case) would take a Millenia... (sounds like Mace Windu in Episode I is back)

Beefyh, how could the gender of a Trando be obvious? I don't think many people here are Trandoshan professers and know all the differences.

Well like I said if people want an alien Dark Lord for Oriha, that will force me to change my idea in post number 22. Oriha will be male or female depending on what the alien/human is.

JawkJrask
I know what you're saying as far as time cunsumption but what I'm hoping is that once my first planet comes out, I'll be able to prove to people that I have the knowledge and ablity to create a new planet. Then I'll be able to create a team and hopefully as time progresses, there will be more and more people that join to make the game come out faster.

Kazra Bailum - Helps find the True Sith, Selkath
Colonel Azgath - Helps find the True Sith, he is a True Sith Colonel
Creature - You'll have a creature to command (I'm thinking of something like a Rancor
Andial - Helps find the True Sith, your future Apprentice
Darth Oriha - Helps find the True Sith, you get her depending on wheather or not you are Light Side or Dark Side
Canderous Ordo - Gives you his Mandalorian Army to command in the future battle with the True Sith
Winoda Nacine - Gives you the Star Forge Fleet and Rakatan army to command in the future battle with the True Sith, he's a Rakatan
Visas Mar - Gives you the Dark Jedi Army to command in the future battle with the True Sith

That may be a good idea. I would just have to figure out how construct a dialog that would allow you do this.

Maybe have a dialog that started something like this: (What is the name of the Exile, select a letter until you have the desired name, click next letter to add on to the name, or click done what the name is completed). As an option you have every letter of the alfabet to click on and you select how to constructe the name.
