He has woken from his deep slumber.
He has spoken through his prophets, the Harbingers.
After an eternity away, Absalom has returned.
The Book of Aeribis- CH 67, V 1-3
Introduction
A long time ago, in a galaxy very very close to home, there was a period of great prosperity. The Celestials built and groomed worlds and life spread, though with all life must come death. And so the cycle was created, and Absalom was born. A being of unfathomable power, Absalom wrought chaos from serenity. Worlds burned, species were eradicated and the galaxy learned to tremble at the slightest whispering of his name. But some did not cower- a group of warriors, all proficient in the force, banded together, and brought the darkness to his knees. They shattered his grip on the galaxy, and wiped his name from the histories of the galaxy.
But Absalom was merely broken, not destroyed. Unbeknownst to the warriors who slew his mortal vessel, Absalom had performed dark sorcery, and embedded his soul in various artifacts. These artifacts have long since been lost to the galaxy, reappearing every so often, only to soon disappear once more. Yet now the time has come for the artifacts to be reunited, and Absalom to be reborn. A plan that took centuries to conceive, and years to execute, is finally coming to a close. Absalom has chosen his vessels, and he has found many of his artifacts. Soon he will once again roam the galaxy, followed closely by death and war.
RP Premise
The Advent of Absalom is an RP that seeks to bring back a significant Sith presence in JedivSith. It is not an attempt to create a unified Sith Order, though if people want that to happen it may develop into such. The main idea of the story is the return of an ancient force entity, known as Absalom (who is kin to Abeloth)- while his origins are mysterious, his power is undeniable.
Disclaimer: I am aware that this character is rediculously powerful and that people may fear the threat of power gaming. I don't intend for this to happen- I created Absalom to be a symbol of the Dark Side that Sith could rally under. The sith idolize strength, so naturally I made him extremely powerful. I don' t intend to use him for open RPs. Also, for those who believe the story is too mystic, there are canon references to spirit transference through inanimate objects, as well as force entities.
Cont.
The story will begin with the last of Absalom's artifacts coming into the possession of his vessel. The retrieval of the artifacts can be a part of the RP if people are interested. Once the artifacts are consolidated, the vessel will change from his original self into Absalom incarnate. Upon his advent, the cult of Absalom will begin making appearances in the galaxy, interacting with factions, demanding obedience. How the factions react is up to them. Ideally, a dark side faction will attempt to kill one of the cultists, which would lead to Absalom appearing in person. What happens after that is completely up to other RPers.
TL;DR- Super bad bad guy comes back, demands reverence; violence ensues.
What kind of RPers are sought after?
This RP is open to any characters, though I would like to see more Sith characters, just because the goal is to revitalize the Sith Order.
Any questions/ideas/concerns?
