Darth Jadus is both a prominent and enigmatic figure. Not much is yet known about him but his mysteriousness and elusiveness both speak volumes about his character. Unlike one of his contemporaries, Darth Malgus, Jadus has not been seen in any trailers or images, save only for a HoloNet entry on The Old Republic's official site. But perhaps the lack of spotlight on Jadus isn't such a bad thing. After all, his character is one swathed in secret and shadow.

It comes as no surprise then that The Old Republic will feature a similar system, although the implementation may leave something to be desired. While everything is subject to change, and especially so in beta, there are some elements of the system that not everyone will agree with. Non-Force Sensitive classes such as the Smuggler and Bounty Hunter can be affected by this corruption as much as any Sith or Jedi. The corruption itself, while toggle-able, comes as an all-or-nothing feature in which once you've achieved a certain dark side rank, there's no picking and choosing to have "just the eyes" or "just the pale skin," even though many NPCs in the game display this diversity. This author in particular is a little miffed that, from his testing experience, it seems that all (human) characters at Dark V may end up with the same eye color, vein patterns, and skin tone as each other, further limiting the customization in an already limited system.

So what about you? Are you happy with corruption? Are you planning to use it? What changes would you like to see, or do you think are necessary? Let us know in the comments!

For an Empire driven by a philosophy based on humanocentrism – placing humans above all other races – one of its most famous members in The Old Republic sure did have a soft spot for a female of a race usually seen as less than equal compared to the Empire's finest. Darth Malgus, Sith Lord and Commander of the Imperial Military, has been depicted in all three of BioWare's cinematic trailers for their upcoming Star Wars-themed MMO. Despite his success on the battlefield against the Republic's and Jedi Order's finest combatants, there is more to this character than meets the eye. Who was the romantic interest that caused a weakness in Darth Malgus that was almost exploited by a Jedi after the Sacking of Coruscant? What happened during his upbringing that gave way to his malevolent nature? And what about that face mask? All will be revealed in SWTOR-RP's focus on one of the more well known members of the Sith Empire; Darth Malgus.

Our personality traits and characteristics define us. Introverts and extroverts sit on opposite sides of the fence, as do those of a friendly and happy nature compared to others who draw on their anger and vindictiveness. Our focus, however, is on those who strive for lustful revenge and rage, as this week's theme at SWTOR-RP is all about the Sith. Anger, hate, passion – these are the things that drive members of the Sith. Their powers are fuelled by such emotions, with claims that their connection with the Force magnifies under those circumstances. But what is that really defines a Sith?

In The Old Republic, many players will be claiming allegiance with the Sith, working under the Emperor himself. Sith players will be choosing to cause havoc as either a Sith Warrior or Sith Inquisitor, with one class' focus on lightsaber combat, whilst the other draws on the Force to inflict pain  upon their foes. However, just because a Sith can sprout lightning from their fingertips whilst donning a red lightsaber, it doesn't quite define them as as being a member of the dark-side-using group. In today's Force Reflection in the Sith-themed week, let us know what you think defines an individual as being a member of the Sith. Is it the emotion that they draw upon that makes one Sith? Do you believe that a red lightsaber blade is a clear indication of membership? Or is it something much more darker and deeper? Post your thoughts in the comments section.
