Description: Darth Nihilus was once a powerful Sith Lord during the Old Republic era within the Sith Triumvirate, and one of the few survivors of the Mass Shadow Generator. The effects of the superweapon caused Nihilus to become hungry for Force rich worlds, and beings, causing him to seek them out, and feed upon them. Eventually, this power overtook his body, and to continue living on, and keep a physical form of sorts, he placed his soul into the mask. Nihilus was eventually defeated, and the mask would traveled around the galaxy for many many years before find it's way back home on Malachor V. Here, Romeo had heard of a dark cult beginning to rise up on the planet and proceeded to invesitage this cult. Upon arriving, the Sith Lord lost conciousness only to later wake up with no one around him, and lose conciousness once more.

Later it would be revealed that Romeo in a blind rage due to the power and culling of the mask to Romeo, killed the cult leader, and one of his Blood Knights in the processs. His memory was effected short term due to this and was finally revealed when his friend Mystie placed on what seemed like his mask at the time, but was really the dark mask itself, hiding from all on the ship to try and take over Romeo's body. Upon being tested, and fighting against the dark hunger the mask gave to him, Romeo was able to beat the memories, and gain control of himself. The side effect of this means, though, that anytime Romeo wears this mask, and uses his powers, the memories will continue to force Romeo to become more corrupted.

The mask is white, almost human skull like, with red vertical lines on either side of the eye sockets.

Salve, [member="Darth Seraphic"]! I'll be judging your submission today.

First things first, you're going to need to remove all of the things that aren't in the Wookieepedia article, you can't pick and choose what is involved with a canon dark-side artifact (especially this), you either take it for what it is or leave it be.

After you do that. I will be archiving the submission until you complete the "A Dark Hunger" development thread, the Factory does not accept WIP submissions.

It was said that the mask was invested with the dark side of the Force and if an individual who was not Force-sensitive was to don the mask, that being would be able to wield the Force as a Sith apprentice. If, however, a Jedi or Sith was to wear the mask, proficiency in additional Force powers—always including, but not limited to, dark side powers—were acquired.


This is a quote from the wiki entry, the reason I went for those things is the "proficiency in additional Force Powers, always including, but limited to dark side powers - were acquired."

He was also proficient in Dark rage, Farsight, Force lightning, Force resistance, Force scream, and Force whirlwind, among others, such as a dark variant of Force healing called Dark Healing. His knowledge also extended to Sith alchemy: during the second battle of Onderon, Nihilus' sect of Sith followers used techniques that would bend tame beasts to

He used his dark variant of the Sever Force ability

All of that can be found in the link I have added.

From the Wookieepedia Article - Mask of Darth Nihilus

After the death of Darth Nihilus:[3]
  • Corrupts Force-sensitives with dark side power[3]
  • Allows non-Force users to wield the Force as a Sith apprentice[3]
​​It was said that the mask was invested with the dark side of the Force and if an individual who was not Force-sensitive was to don the mask, that being would be able to wield the Force as a Sith apprentice. If, however, a Jedi or Sith was to wear the mask, proficiency in additional Force powers—always including, but not limited to, dark side powers—were acquired. However, it was cautioned that the dark influence of the mask propelled the wearer towards acts of self-destruction in the pursuit for greater power.
So, per canon, the mask:
  • Corrupts force-sensitives with the dark side that is present in the mask.
  • Allows non-force users to utilize the force.
  • Increases proficiency (skill) in using dark side powers and other abilities. (This does not mean it grants you the knowledge of Darth Nihilus or his ability to use the force as he did in canon).
The mask enhances your skill with utilizing "additional force abilities", it does not grant access to his memories or his skills as a master of the force. This is not a holocron, it simply amplifies your ability to utilize the force to perform various force abilities. Wearing this mask does not make you Darth Nihilus, and it does not grant you access to his knowledge as a force wielder. Please make the changes your factory judge has requested.

At the end of the day, you are submitting a canonical item which is very well-established in canon. Stick to what is explained that the mask does, and remove what it does not canonically do. If you feel that the request made by your factory judge was made in error or if you disagree please request a second chance in the Second Chance thread, but do not argue with your factory judge.
