Greetings, As a GM, I often come up with my own material, and for a major villain I created Darth Sorde. She was so popular among the group I played with that I continued the story line and eventually wrote four campaigns stretching across the majority of the Star Wars timeline. Each one was a continuation of the previous campaign, but focused on the descendants of the characters from the previous campaign. What I provided above is just a brief summary of the material I have written for the Mayne Family and Darth Sorde's descendants. I've been using and adding to this background for about 10 years in one form or another. When I started playing SW:TOR, I naturally chose the Mayne family as my legacy and decided to use the game to further the story of the Mayne Family of Force Users and the Daughters of Darth Sorde. I have another toon that goes along with this backstory. Her name is Ghanys, a sith sorcerer. A little background info first, Ghanys started as a minor dark Jedi I used as a thorn in the group's side during the second campaign called "The Shadow War". She defeated the heroes, and they wanted revenge, so I brought her back but with a backstory to go with her. Since then, they've encountered several "side kicks" with that name, and found out that "Ghanys" is actually a title and the name of a force using tradition that is passed on from one generation to the next. Ghanys (Pronounced as "Janice") "Ghanys" is more of a title rather than a name, which is given to the most loyal and devoted servant of the heiress of the Mayne Legacy. To be chosen for this prestigious position the servant must fill five specific criteria. 1) Must be female. 2) Must be non-human. In the past, Ghanys has been chiss, twi'lek, miralukan, togruta, zeltron, and zabrak. 3) Must be force sensitive. Due to the duties of the Ghanys Servant, she must be trained as well. 4) Must be a registered slave of the heiress. 5) There can be only one Ghanys Slave active at any given moment. In order to select a new slave to be given the title of "Ghanys", the previous one has to relinquish her title. This is done upon death. The Ghanys Slave has specific duties. 1) Protect and Serve the Heiress. The Ghanys Slave is first and foremost the protector and bodyguard of the Heiress, especially when the Heiress is young and not fully trained to use the force. The Ghanys Slave is even willing to sacrifice her own life to make sure that the Heiress lives. 2) Train the Heiress. In times when a true mentor/teacher is absent, the Ghanys slave will act as the teacher. However, even though the Ghanys slave is trained to use the force and sith techniques, she is not a sith in and of herself. She is forbidden to claim the title of "Darth". 3) Select and Train her successor. Possibly the most disturbing duty of the Ghanys slave is to choose who will succeed you. As mentioned before, the title is passed on when the current Ghanys dies, which usually happens at the hands of the one who she has been training. The current Ghanys Slave is a miralukan woman. Her birth name is irrelevant, as she simply goes by the name "Ghanys" now. She was able to take advantage of the newly lax requirements of the Korriban Academy and went there to be trained in the ways of the sith upon orders from the one she succeeded. When she completed the training, she returned to the previous one named Ghanys, and killed her to become the current holder of the title of Ghanys. Like countless numbers of nameless female aliens before her, she quietly and faithfully serves the current heiress: Athlai.

Greetings, The Story behind my character goes back to a game I was the GM of shortly after KoToR was released. It was Star Wars RCR D20 game set 15 years after KoToR. Mind you, this was before KoToR 2 was released. The main villain was a sith lady named Darth Sorde. She was a Jedi Knight turned Sith, and was one of Darth Revan's generals during the Mandalorian war and the Jedi Civil war. She was also his secret lover. Shortly before Revan was able to enter the Mandalorian War, Darth Sorde, then known as Kira Mayne, had a secret affair with Revan and got pregnant. The Jedi Council suspected that Revan was the father, but she refused to say who the father was. As a result of her defiance, the Jedi Council took the child away from her. They thought this would help prevent her from forming attachments to the child, but it had the opposite effect. She grew bitter and angry at the Jedi Council, and followed Revan to war. When Revan returned at the start of the Jedi Civil War, she commanded the third largest fleet next to his and Malak's. When Malak betrayed Revan, she pulled her fleet back to the unknown regions and formed a powerbase. She fell into obscurity. 15 years later, which would put it shortly after the events of KoToR 2, Darth Sorde returned and held the Republic at bay. She prevented them from rebuilding, but refused to conquer the Republic. Instead, she was searching for something, or someone. This became known as the Sith Cold War as Darth Sorde gathered all remaining sith forces under her flag. The Republic Senate formed a special task force of their most experienced Soldiers and Jedi to infiltrate the Sith forces, and assassinate the Sith leaders including Darth Sorde. The idea was to strike at the head to destroy the body. Leading this team was Jedi Knight Anyka Mayne, Darth Sorde's daughter. At the climax of the campaign, Mother fought daughter, but the outcome was not as they thought. Everyone believed that Anyka emerged victorious. She secluded herself in the Jedi Temple, refusing to take on a padawan or speaking to people about her ordeal. 40 years would pass until the next phase of the story. It was the 100 year anniversary of Exar Kun's defeat that ended the Great Sith war. A dark side cult called "The Order of Freedom", lead by a charismatic draethos force adept named "Lord Grahck", was growing in influence. It became influential enough to challenge the Jedi Order. A battle broke out between this cult and the Jedi Order that was fought in hiding. It was known as "The Shadow War". Anyka Mayne broke her seclusion and took a young girl as her first padawan. The girl's name was Tonya Hesbo. When Lord Grahck was finally defeated, the Jedi thought the war was over. However, it had only begun. Anyka revealed herself as Darth Sorde. In truth, mother defeated daughter by becoming a sith spirit and bonding with her daughter's body. She had been lying dormant for 40 years until she was strong enough to take full possession of her daughter's body. Tonya was taken as her knew apprentice, and it was revealed that Tonya was Anyka's granddaughter and Darth Sorde's great granddaughter. Anyka also had an affair, but kept the pregnancy secret, and gave the baby up for adoption. Before the Jedi order was able to finally defeat Darth Sorde, the sith lady bound her dark spirit to her progeny. As long as she had a living female heir, her spirit was immortal. Tonya, who had taken up the name "Darth Mentia", was last seen entering a small transport with a few chosen handmaiden protectors, and she was 6 months pregnant. This was the start of the Mayne family of force users. The Mayne family is among the most powerful families, nearly on par with the Skywalker family. However, the women of the line nearly always fall to the dark side. Men, although not as powerful in the force but still impressively strong, are not as susceptible to the dark side. The current heiress of the Mayne family line is a young sith warrior named Athlia Mayne.

Greetings, I was noticing that Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior both have access to Lightsaber styles but that Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor don't. I was thinking ... what saber styles would fit with Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor? Here are my thoughts. Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor: Makashi: This is a single saber style which would fit quite well with the base classes. It's described as a "fencing" style, and when we've seen it employed in the movies by Count Dooku, he's also using force attacks. This would make it an effective style for the base classes, and it would be useful later on for the advanced classes. Jedi Sage and Sith Sorcerer In addition to Makashi, I saw these two would gain benefits from two other styles. Niman: It's described as a balanced style, and known as the "diplomat's form" with no real downsides, but in many cases it provided solid defenses in the hands of a master. Form Zero: A saberless style, which could be easily implemented as a talent selection for the Force User who doesn't want to use a lightsaber, but act as a true "wizard" or "sorcerer" type character. Another thought on this would be Tra`kata, which the Force User carries a saber, but doesn't have it turned on. Jedi Shadow and Sith Assassin Sokan: This style is described as a style that helps the Force User fight in difficult terrain, which could easily benefit the stealthy Shadow/Assassin. Jar'kai: This is a style specifically designed for those who wield double bladed lightsabers and two lightsabers, such as Darth Maul. It would fit perfectly for the Jedi Shadow and the Sith Assassin. In fact, I was very surprised to find out that these two advanced classes didn't have the style as an option. Mynx

Greetings, I can see a lot of potential in the game. some added classes I'd like to see are: Republic: 1) Noble: Advanced classes could be Officer or Crime Lord. Idea for this comes from Princess Leia who would fit the Noble turned Officer. However, The flip side would be based upon Prince Xizor who would later lead the Black Sun. The Officer could have healing and perhaps tank. Crime lord could be damage. 2) Force Adept: Advanced Classes could be Zeison Sha or Matukai Adept These two groups were mentioned indirectly through various armor types in Kotor 2. So it would make sense to see them in the game. Matukai Adept could be tank/damage and Zeison Sha could be damage. Imperial: 1) Failed Jedi: Advanced Classes could be Dark Jedi or Dark Side Devotee. I've always thought since I first played that it would be cool to be able to fall to the dark side as a Jedi and become a Sith. Well, this class would simulate that. As a Dark Jedi, I would see that more martial skills Tank/damage. The Dark Side Devotee more akin to the Consular or the Inquisitor, focusing more on Damage or healing. 2) Droid: Advanced classes could be Assassin Droid or Battle Droid I thought it would be awesome to play a droid with its own special class. Inspiration should be obvious: HK 47. The advanced class roles are self explanatory. Mynx
