Sith Warriors

I have three Sith Warrior characters, although only one of them is in "semi-retired" state; in fact, he's the next character to go into "post retirement" once I activate him. Another one is almost level 60 and almost halfway through the story, wrapping up Tatooine in the next day or two. The third is still on Korriban and hasn't even started his story yet, but I'm waiting until I get Phovos Maledict into semi-retirement before I start him. He'll be at least level 20 when he starts, maybe even closer to level 25. My "just started" characters, who actually haven't yet started, are all hovering at around 20. Some are closer to 25. None of them are about to start yet, but they still do their starting planet heroics most weeks, so they still get a level or two every week when I'm actively playing.

Before I show my three Sith, I didn't do what I expected again today. I did a lot of my "business" stuff, and am over 300M now in credits. I got some more seasons stuff done. I played a bit of Beorn on Dromund Kaas, although certainly I didn't do the whole planet yet. I finished Saxon on Hutta. He should have been at the "just started" stage, but because they had recently redone the Hutta graphics, I wanted to see them, so I kicked him off early. He's now on the fleet and ready to go to Dromund Kaas. I'll show it later, but agents are a little odd. He, like many of my characters, has an outfit for each of the main twelve planets, but agents don't really have a Hutta outfit; they wear their Dromund Kaas outfit for a little while until they go undercover as "the Red Blade" and then they wear a Red Blade disguise the entire rest of the time that they're on Hutta. I'll show—in another post—both my Red Blade disguise, and my normal agent in uniform outfit, which is really for Dromund Kaas mostly.

And, of course, I played a lot of Phovos on Tatooine. Playing even just a little bit with my son-in-law while he was doing the Sith Warrior story made me want to get back into the warrior moreso than some of the other characters.

Mat Thew is the original Sith Warrior, and was played as a marauder (fury). He has one of the stupidest names of any character that I still have, but... y'know. It's too much money to change it, so it stays. In my "translation" of him into Capes & Rayguns, his "real" name is now Castant Grene. 

Most of Castant's outfits are armored and have a face-covering mask. This "privateer" Sith outfit is one of the few that shows his face.

Castant is a reformer, so I played him as a powerful and overbearing guy who's more or less OK and doesn't do the ridiculous mustache-twirling evil Nazi Sith parody vibe that the game wants to push on you. But he's also not "straight up" light side because that's nearly as stupid in most cases. He did not casually murder people just because he could, he did not corrupt Jaesa, etc. 

In fact, he's one of the characters that I actually really do want to get through the post-retirement story and get Jaesa back. I did the "light side" romance of Jaesa with him, and that doesn't actually get to its denouement until into the expansions.

Phovos Maledict is arguably a bit less serious. He has Elvis hair, for one thing, and often dresses in a space disco suit with bell-bottoms, and open-shirted jacket, a pair of sunglasses, etc. that's all white. I looks more like John Travolta from Stayin' Alive with a goatee than what you'd expect from a Sith Lord. I'm playing him similarly except that for Castant I didn't romance Vette, because he's a good-looking, aristocratic, powerful Sith lord and romancing a mouthy teenaged blue alien with tentacles instead of hair was stupid. So Phovos will, in fact, romance Vette, so I can see what that's like. He's a Juggernaut (vengeance).

A newly designed Phovos Maledict outfit that's more or less playing it straight. It replaces one that I created in the beginning that I liked less and less the more I looked at it. 

Goth Severax is my darker Sith warrior. I plan on romancing "dark Jaesa" with him, and keeping Vette as a slave for as long as the game lets me do so. He still won't be cartoonish evil, because that's stupid, but he'll certainly be darker and meaner than either of the other two. Like my other wave V character, he's a repeat in mechanics, so he's the same mechanically as Mat Thew.

I've been fascinated since learning about them with my Western Hunter-Gatherer ancestors who had darkish skin and hair, but blue eyes. Goth is that kind, but of course, the dark side has turned his eyes yellow. Phovos has the "bright blue eyes" customization that was meant, I'm sure, to be Dune-esque. Although you can't see them super well through his shades above, you might see it in the other image of him from yesterday.

This doesn't show off Goth's serious 'stache, but it certainly has the darker, meaner Sith vibe going for it.

Also, I've been too caught up in Dynamics achievements so I can get all of those three speeders, as well as doing more Seasonal objectives than I expected. I'd like to unlock the blaster rifle and pistol before the season ends, although I won't get to the end of the string. I started with less time than needed, and I haven't been very focused on it. 

I do have the speeders for Ord Mantell, Hutta and Korriban unlocked, though. 

Sigh. Most of the rest of the planets are considerably more complicated. But I kill two birds with one stone by working on Tatooine this week.

UPDATE: My wife has a friend coming over for a Wicked marathon tonight, so I've got the evening mostly to myself. Plans for the night? A bit more Phovos Maledict on Tatooine. Maybe a bit more Mirabeau Tane on his next destination, which after a transition, should be Balmorra. I'd like to play through his transition, at least, and land him on Balmorra. And bring Gändalf Greyhame back from the Fleet to Tython, where he can run Dynamics for a while, although probably not tonight. But I'll place him where he needs to be.

Oh, and Mirabeau did two thirds of the GSI last night. I need to go to Hoth and finish that. Which is awkward, because he's high enough level at level 70, but hasn't been to Hoth yet in the story, so it's his first time there. Let's actually do that first, then do some Phovos.
