This entire subforum is meant not only to get a look inside my take on Vader, but as a fun place to interact with me as an author and Darth Vader as a character at his prime. It is written from the perspective of a Sith Apprentice thousands of years after the events of Wars Within Stars who has stumbled across and is investigating the ancient ruins of Lord Vader's palace on Byss.
There are two main threads here, the Little Black Book and the Holocron. The Black Book is for my use only! However, the Holocron is meant to be a fun-filled, interactive roleplaying forum. Each post should include somewhere within it a question about the Sith teachings and practices. I will then answer those questions from the perspective of Darth Vader, slowly teaching this futuristic, potential-filled apprentice all the lessons of the Dark Side. I also ask that you not post in this forum, as it only exists to explain what the other threads contained in this subforum are all about.
One more note about the Holocron: I'm going to play Vader's holocron as if it's a real student it's teaching. Unlocking the knowledge within it and advancing from the basic teachings to the advanced tenets of the Sith will be something that takes a bit of work, which will be a good half of the fun of that thread!
The third thread, the Answering Machine, is for people to leave me messages partaining to this area, either commenting on the journal or debating/commenting on the teachings as they are written in the Holocron.
Since this is, of course, a roleplaying forum, I'll go ahead and introduce it with the following post:
You stalk through the dark hallways, able to see only because of the lantern you hold in your left hand. Your right is ready, hovering only inches from a small, cylindrical weapon - your crimson Lightsaber, which hangs from the belt of your dark robes. Your face matches your attitude - eager and excited wthout being hasty or careless. It has been thousands of years since anybody has been able to step foot on this planet, much less in this temple, a palace which must have belonged to a powerful Sith Lord indeed.
As you proceed into the room at the end of this hallway, you find a steel table with a chair before it. These objects are off in the corner; the most impressive sight is in its middle, a massive medetation chamber. Even though it hasn't been used in literal ages, the presence of the Dark Side can still be felt strongly pulsing from it, almost as though the place itself were alive.
After a long, thorough inspection of the impressive chamber, your attention turns to the table where two objects can be seen. One is an odd trinket of metal that could easily fit in the palm of your hand; the other appears similar to a datapad, but bound in black-colored stone that you mistake for dark metal at first because of its alluring luster. Setting your lamp down on the table, you sit in the metalic chair before these artifacts to inspect them further.
