10,000 BBY. The Galaxy stands at the brink of war. The Jedi hold dominion over countless star systems, their protection stretching from the core worlds, far beyond the outer rim into Wild Space. Countless Jedi warriors patrol and police the planets, enforcing their will and way of life on the people therein. They refer to it as an age of great peace.
But, a darkness is brewing. Beyond the outer-rim, Sith war-lords who were content to squabble among themselves and be a general nuisance, have suddenly grown quiet. Rumbles of a massive civil war reach Republic Space, and all traces of the Sith religion disappear from the Galaxy for almost 200 years. Now, a great sense of foreboding falls before the Jedi, as they can tell something is amiss. Somewhere, beyond the stars, a great power is forming. And it is coming to crush all they hold dear.
"Something wicked this way comes."

Alright Ladies and Gents, this is the official OOC and sign-up thread for Star Wars: Cataclysm. The galaxy is about to be embroiled in the worst kind of war, and it's up to us to fight it. There is no requirement on class or creed, you can choose to be a small-time shop owner in the middle of Tatooine, or the most bad ass bounty hunter in the 'verse. Jedi, Sith, somewhere in the middle, it's all up for grabs.
I am not a stickler for sign-up sheets, so standard fare will do. I am not going to "GM" this RP, this is strictly writer oriented and progressed. I will be fulfilling the role of Sith Lord, but that doesn't mean I have to be the only one, back-stabbing and infighting is the law of the land for these people. So, without further ado, let's introduce the Main Antagonist for the (at least first part of) series.
Name: Darth Destinus
Title: Dark Lord of the Sith, Sith'ari
Race: Zabrak
Planet of Origin: Dathomir
Alignment: Dark Side, Unquestioned leader of his faction of Sith
Appearance: Body-molded dark gray body armor, covering his impressive physique. At six foot two, he is tall and lanky, lithe muscle cut down to rock solid proportions. His horns are a little longer than most of his species, giving him a more majestic look. Over his armor lies his long hooded, black cloak. Traveller's boots come up knee-high.
Weapon: Dual red-bladed lightsabers, that have conjoining hilts (can be dual wielded or single wielded as a double ended saber). Obvious advantages and disadvantages for both styles, harder to connect them than it is to disconnect them. Typically uses only one saber unless he feels threatened.
Force Powers: Not so attuned to the Force in the philosophical sense, Destinus is a powerhouse when it comes to it's physical applications. Force choke, lightning, grip, and push are all techniques he's mastered. Not so powerful in the art of persuasion, telepathic communications, or general attunement to the filaments of the universe.
Personality: Destinus is brutally arrogant, as he is powerful. He is feared for his martial prowess, as his skill with a blade is nigh unmatched within the Sith ranks. He is granted the title Darth after his successful conquest of the final Sith warlords beyond the Rim. He takes no apprentice, and is generally mistrusting and a bit paranoid. He is often mistaken to be a foolish brute, a weapon best suited for striking and not leading. Many have made that mistake, and many have died for it. He is as cunning as he is strong. He does, however, lack a wide-screen view of the Galaxy, and is often impulsive. Despite his veneer of arrogance, internally he is self-conscious that he is not strong enough, and is always pursuing more strength, more power. Such a single-minded character can often find himself in trouble
Destinus' rise to power was as rapid as it was brutal. Born in the wilds of Dathomir, his force sensitivity was noted at a very young age. The Witches of Dathomir helped him probe the dark side of the force, and it embraced him in a wicked and cruel way. It called to him, and sent him on a quest to Korriban. It was here, in the tombs of the death Sith Lords, that he was taught how to build his light saber, and how to master it's uses. For many years, he roamed the catacombs, fighting the spectres of dead warriors and exploring the force with his mind. Frustrated with a growing list of inabilities, he decided that the pursuit of power would help him clear the fogginess that the Force had brought over his senses. Despite being brutally powerful, he still felt as though he was weak, he could not see and feel the force the way others could.
He was not gentle with his application of the force, bending with it and using it to his will. He would tear it from it's true nature, abuse it and torture it. It gave him great strength. It left him with great weakness. At the end of his trainings, he declared himself an ascended Sith, or Sith'ari. He headed beyond the outer-rim, and sought to conquer the rival Sith factions in wild space. Week by week, star systems would either fall under heel, or see themselves obliterated by the unstoppable renegade. As more joined his cause of a unified Sith banner, the stronger he became. Many warlords sought to ally with him, and become his commanders, as his unorthodox teachings and strategies allured them. They may have finally found the one to bring the war to the Jedi. And that is exactly what he planned to do. With his sights firmly set on the core worlds within, Destinus was ready to bring the cataclysm down on the Galaxy.
