Hello everyone. I'm thinking of playing a Sith, but don't quite know how to get started. Any advice?

First off, welcome to JvS. We're an odd bunch, but we like new faces well enough.
The primary Sith faction at the moment is the Dark Tide, based out if Kuat. They and the Mandalorians are currently beating ten shades of shit out of each other, but that should be done in a few days.

That sounds pretty awesome, not gonna lie. I was thinking of starting off as a Dark Jedi? One that was leaving they temple? I don't quite know how to go about that.

Hmm. Hard to say. Dark Jedi don't have any real sort of organization on here as far as I know, but I'm often wrong about that sort if thing.

To my knowledge the temples in use are on Corellia, Corscant, Felucia, Yavin, and a handful of others that are escaping my feeble attempts to catch them

Sith is the ultimate goal, Dark Jedi is just the starting line. I wanted to start in one of the temples and go from there? Not entirely sure as to how though.

I'm out of my depth on that one. I'm just a robot space ninja.
Any Darksider types wanna pitch in?

If it doesn't work, then I can figure something out.

For garnering a general idea of what you may wish to do, in keeping with your character being a fallen Jedi turning into a Sith, I'd suggest reading through some of Exar Kun's earliest days before he became one of the Dark Lords. As well, I'd also suggest reading about Ajunta Pall and his friends. Might help you out whilst you figure out the direction your character idea takes.

That's is a good direction. I wanted to start outside my what I knew, Sith and Jedi, but I see that I don't know much. I'll read up on what you've given and I will do this on a different character.
I can, and likely will, do something else. How are the Sith on this site?

Also, I hope my writing doesn't come out as condescending. I've been told my writing voice sounds pompous.

That ain't anything to worry about. Our player base isn't as large as it used to be, but it's still pretty diverse. Pomposity won't count against you, all things considered.
The Sith as a group are, oddly enough, pretty accepting as well. They're a bunch of assholes IC, which is how it should be, but mostly it's a good group of people.

Eh, you'll fit right in around here. To be honest some of the stuff Belial suggested isn't mandatory, but I am sure it will help you if you take the time to read it (honestly though, wookieepedia helped me a lot, hehehe).
The Sith on this site are quite healthy, obesessed with power and taking over control of the Galaxy. A good many of them are quite active, so you'll get a reply from them quite quickly.

How exactly does one begin as a Sith? Do I start as a student, or can I start as a Sith Lord? Are there any rules on Force Powers or is it all based on probability?

you can start as a student, you can start as a sith lord, you can even start as the janitor of a sith lords brother twice-removed. as far as force powers go, your best guide is this: jedivsith.boards.net/thread/669/force-power-regulationsAround JvS we work more on RP fairness and Believability

We're pretty easygoing here. The basic rule is balance. Starting off, if you want to be powerful in one particular area, make yourself weak in another. Or balance everything out.
I suppose we should also point out the difference between open and closed RP, as it relates to the site. In open RP, the site rules are assumed to apply. Standard limitations on powers, ships, and weaponry are in play, and generally speaking, anyone can get involved at any time, within reason. In closed RP, anything goes, so long as all writers agree. The admins absolutely won't get involved unless someone files an infraction report.

Thank you both. I will so what I can. Hopefully, I can find a way to entertain. And thank for for the link. It was very helpful.
On to the rules boards!

I've read most of it thus far. All I really want to know is willing to have character ties?

I might have missed something, but are you talking about the section where it states your character's can't have ties to one another? (I.e Pooling ground troops, fleets, and etc.)
