PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
How does your character act? Spoiled, foolish, hedonistic, rare moments of sadism brat. Naturally charming. Sarcastic sense of humour. Very vindictive. Can be cruel to those who annoy him. Naturally paranoid he fears being ousted from power or not reaching new levels of it in equal measure he knows if he were to ever rule the galaxy like Darth Sidious he would feel as if he achieved everything he wanted aand feel lack of purpose aimless without direction. Luckily there is a lot of factions and people in the way so the fight for more power is endless. He likes to be underestimate as a Sith Courtier Knight more interested in gossip and luxury than in power. This is a ruse. Gossip is information and can be used politically he is seen as an able duellist and a capable administrator, that he does his duty well but is still narcissistic. Charming to those he likes scathing to those he dislikes
While he genuinely enjoys people, socialisation and gossip. They are mere amusements without any attachment to them. People are commodities to be bought, enjoyed, traded, used. He prefers not to have slaves but only because droids cover most of the cost benefit analyses and slaves have a nasty habit of revolt, not to mention he genuinely believes a smooth society is run on a capitalist light socialist system. This leads people to believe he has a heart of gold in truth society runs more smoothly less chance of rebellion, discontent if they are provided for, he is not so concerned with profit that it bothers him to spend a little more on social programs.
It also creates useful cover in propaganda and diplomacy.
How do they think? How best to manipulate people. This is his defining trait, games within games, relationships with complex nuance, loyalties and antagonism can all apply to the same person. How are people most of use to him.
Do they have any deeply held beliefs or phobias? That he was born, destined and meant to Rule. He was raised as the heir to House Kuat and it shows, his education is refined, his body is a temple almost religiously worshipped, his mind an instrument that can play, measure, cut and kill. He was born to rule and his experience with the Sith has only reinforced that. The strong rule the weak serve or get crushed.
Sith Code- Former apprentice to Darth Hydra so has his own interpretation of the sith code enjoys debate, Sith philosophy and discussion.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Passion isn't destruction, it's creation the passion to build, to create life, to create art, music, fashion, literature, infrastructure, technological advancements, nations. War and intrigue are a necessary facet to all of those developments. War and intrigue are passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
War useful conduit for all of these creations, a society is strengthen, hardened, developed constantly through war. War and intrigue are the ultimate expression of passion and therefore of strength. It is a forging of steel through fire.
Through strength, I gain power.
Power is the goal. More power constantly ever evolving, but the goal isn't to rule the galaxy with stability, the goal is to constantly challenge the powerful themselves. If there are none use passion to create someone strong. A worthy opponent to test yourself against.
Through power, I gain victory.
Victory isn't total domination of the galaxy it's something for messier a galaxy with shifting factions, nations that fracture, rise, fall, rubbing against each other in constant friction. That is the status quo that should be preserved, not order like Imperials, conquest like Mandalorian or peace by Jedi. A multicultural galaxy requires independent factions rising and falling like the setting sun. It is the Sith's role to foster, tend and poke the status quo so that it remains vibrant.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
Unshackled by quaint notions of limitations, true victory is ever evolving power. Morality, honour, right, wrong, love etc. are all limitation that shall not chain me
The Force shall free me
The victory is having ultimate freedom to maintain the chaotic balance of the galaxy.
In addition to the Sith Code being what he believes in the Sith Covenant as a movement he has a personal code.
Harmony is a lie, there is only pleasure.
Through pleasure, I gain freedom.
Through freedom, I gain power.
Through power, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain rule.
Through rule, my chains are binding.
The Force shall give me all.
STRENGTHS
Fencing- Devoted himself to learning Form V Djem So/Shien applying the logic that master of one was better than jack of all trades.
Manipulation- Reign is an expert manipulator he had to to survive both Kuati politics and the Sith Academy.
Intelligent, Resourceful, Capable, Brave, Sanguine
Specialist-Capable of the Force powers he specialises in.
| Force power | Priority | Why it fits Reign |
| Force Sense | Essential | Reading danger, hostility and changes in a room. Perfect foundation for both court politics and duelling. |
| Force Empathy | Essential | Sensing emotions gives him another layer of information during negotiations and social encounters. |
| Telepathy | Essential | Eventually lets him sense thoughts, communicate mentally and develop more sophisticated mental abilities. |
| Mind Trick | Essential | Probably his signature Emissary ability: suggestion rather than brute domination. |
| Force Persuasion | Essential | A natural extension of his existing charisma rather than replacing it. Reign should preferably convince people normally and use the Force to tip uncertain situations. |
| Force Concealment | High | Concealing his Force presence is extremely useful for an Emissary operating under civilian or diplomatic guises. |
| Force Stealth | High | Makes espionage and covert political activity much easier without transforming him into an assassin. |
| Precognition / Danger Sense | High | Excellent for a fencer. He appears impossibly good at anticipating an opponent's next movement. |
| Telekinesis | Moderate | Every Sith needs some practical TK, but it doesn't need to become his speciality. Push, pull, disarm, retrieve objects, manipulate the environment. |
| Force Speed | Moderate | Particularly useful in fencing—brief explosive movements rather than constantly bouncing around like a superhero. |
| Force Barrier | Moderate | Gives him a defensive answer to blasters, explosions and stronger Force users. |
| Psychometry | Optional | Very useful if you want his Emissary work to include espionage and intelligence gathering. Objects can become sources of information. |
| Memory manipulation | Advanced | Extremely appropriate but dangerous. Altering or suppressing memories would make an experienced Reign terrifying as a covert operative. |
| Mental domination | Advanced | Something he could eventually learn, but I'd make this different from his normal approach. Domination is the hammer he uses when persuasion has failed. |
| Force Illusion | Advanced | Potentially his best high-level speciality: disguises, misdirection, false impressions and manipulating what people believe they're seeing. |
WEAKNESSES
Duellist- Not a battlefield combatant he specialises in one on one duels
Power Blind- He doesn't regard the little guy as individuals, he tends to dismiss them as non entities leaving a glaring weakness in negotiation. A servant may overhear something they shouldn't, a militia soldier could get in a lucky shot, a padawan mmight show more skill than expected etc.
Hubristic — Narcissistic — Vindictive — Paranoid — Objectifying
Specialist- Prefers refine meant and mastery over covering his bases, particularly with Force Powers. Might be the only Sith in the galaxy who can't use Force Lightning for instance.
