Phovos Maledict has officially finished the story, maxed his level, and entered the semi-retired status.
Phovos started out as a fairly routine Wave II character; my second playthrough of the Sith Warrior, but using the other combat Advanced Class (which is what we had at the time) and a decent name. So, where M'at Thew was a Marauder, Phovos Maledict had to be a Juggernaut. I also, and I'm not quite sure why, gave him the pompadour hair. That isn't really all that crazy, and I did play him pretty straight. But at some point, on a whim, I created the "Disco Sith" outfit for him, and after a few minor, slight updates to it, that became his most iconic and even default look; I did almost all of the Corellia class story and the final play in it. In fact, of all his looks, I mostly settled on just two; one fairly straight armored Sith outfit, and the Saturday Night Fever look. The Armored Sith was the subject of one of my early AI conversions, but for whatever reason the absolutely silly Disco Sith incarnation is the one that captured my imagination. That's the one that I liked, and that's the one I did the most with. I have no idea why.

Anyway, Disco Sith Phovos Maledict may have become a bit of an unserious character, and that may have been in part based on his silly hair and the fact that I decided to see the Vette romance, when Vette is a skinny, weird alien girl who gives off bratty little sister vibes, not girlfriend material. If the whole concept was kind of silly to begin with, and the Sith Warrior has a lot of dry, sarcastic humor inherent in him anyway, then why not go full on farce, I guess?
I have no idea what (if anything) I'll do with this character now that he's done. I mean, of course, there's always more story to play, but I don't really care for most of it, nor care about it. He'll probably just be my backup crafter and hang around to do dailies sometimes, or seasonal stuff, or just to be there for the photo ops.

| People sometimes judge the slave girl companions, but screw it. Why not on a farce character anyway? |

| The latest and final tweak to the outfit was to use the high roller lightsaber. |

I'm going to be on the road next week all week for work travel, then away for personal travel over the weekend. I have another work trip starting the weekend after that. I'll probably lose a lot of momentum in the game over all that travel. We'll see what happens. Good news is that I'll probably get lots of stuff read, though...
