Creating Your Character
This is the most important step in your basic training. Once you have completed this task, the masters of the Academy will take your foray into the Sith more seriously; masters looking for an apprentice may peruse the character sheets created during this Unit. Should you become an apprentice, your master will award you Prestige for further tasks given personally to you in one-on-one training. Once you reach 66 Prestige, or after our standard 13 weeks of training have passed by, you will be administered a final trial—the ultimate test of your mettle. Survive it, and you will become Sith.
You have chosen your name, your weapon, and your class; an image of what your character will be like should be blossoming in your mind. Now is the time to flesh out the finer details of your character such as backstory, personality, physical descriptions, and Force powers.
To begin roleplaying in the Final Sith Empire, you must have a completed character sheet. You can find a CS (character sheet) template below; complete it and post it in the comments. If you would like assistance, comment your questions below and the Academy will reach out to you.
You do not need admin or moderator approval to create or post a character sheet on this forum—however, if issues are spotted in your CS, rest assured, you will be notified and assisted in rectifying any mistakes.
If approval is necessary to join an RP, it will be marked as a "Closed" RP (this will be indicated either by a thread's label, tags, or in the body of the post). Otherwise, you are welcome to jump into any "Open" RPs you see in our Empire, or create a new RP of your own.
Some categories on the CS template are optional; they will be marked as such. Additionally, you will be assigned to a House in the Unit following this one, after your character is fleshed out, so you can be better sorted. Find more information about Houses in Task 5.
All Acolytes (that's you) of the Final Sith Order start out at Level 1.

As an Acolyte, you will begin at Level 1. You will have 10 points to spend on Force powers; you may spend one point per skill. Lightsaber forms also cost skill points.
For Acolytes, we recommend you choose skills off this list of basic Force powers; a full list of accepted skills can be found in the Sith Academy.
Many of these basic skills are prerequisites for more specialized powers; you must put points into a prerequisite power to learn its specializations. Powers that are prerequisites are marked with an asterisk (*).
BASIC SKILLS
Augmentation* – The ability to unnaturally boost your stamina, speed, and strength.
Force Jump – The ability to perform otherwise impossible leaps with assistance from the Force. Requires Augmentation.
Force Speed – The ability to attain and maintain excessively fast sprinting speeds with assistance from the Force. Requires Augmentation.
Force Sense* – The ability to perceive through the Force, such as sensing one's surroundings or sensing other Force users.
Telekinesis* – The ability to manipulate the movement of objects with the power of the mind.
Force Push – The ability to unleash a blast of telekinetic energy towards a target. Requires Telekinesis.
Force Wound – The ability to inflict damage to an enemy's internal organs by squeezing with the Force. Requires Telekinesis.
Force Shock* – The ability to create a burst of electrical energy.
Convection* – The ability to manipulate thermal currents with the hands, setting them ablaze; limited to touch.
Cryokinesis* – The ability to generate intense cold, and manipulate ice and snow.
Force Resistance* – The ability to resist Force attacks.
Once your character sheet is completed to your satisfaction, post it in the replies below along with any supplementary media such as character images, theme songs, and voice samples. You may also post it to any designated Character Sheet threads elsewhere in the Sith Academy or Sith Empire subforums.
Congratulations, Acolyte! You now have all the tools you need to participate in roleplays. Read the Rules of Roleplaying below to continue your journey.
Rules of Roleplaying
Rules of Roleplaying
All roleplaying in the Final Sith Order, in this Facebook group and on our forum, obeys the following basic rules:
- NO AUTOHITTING. Autohitting means inflicting harm on another player character in or out of combat without permission. Example: "Darth Slayron beheaded Lady Blackflame with a single swing of his lightsaber." – should instead read as: "Darth Slayron swung his lightsaber towards Lady Blackflame's neck, taking aim to behead her." This leaves better room for interpretation, and gives the opponent the opportunity to react to your actions.
- NO GODMODING. Godmoding means roleplaying without limits or boundaries, including taking control of another player's character without express permission, taking control of the environment provided by a GM (game master), or otherwise taking excessive control or power over the setting, or performing feats that would be realistically impossible or implausible, including demonstrating absurdly overpowered or godlike abilities.
- NO META-GAMING. Metagaming means using out-of-character knowledge that would be impossible for your character to know in-universe and in-character, e.g. intimate knowledge of another player's character sheet, thoughts, secrets, etc; or obscure knowledge you may know as an OOC (out-of-character) Star Wars buff that may be something entirely unknown to your character in-universe.
