lol I only have a hero side Star Wars character, based on my old, old old fanfic persona Karen Kenobi. She's a ... mind/kin? I think? Something that's ridiculously slow. I think I'd rather have taken grav on her somewhere, to simulate her powers better.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
Repurposed
I'm not exactly a fan, but my namesake toon is a Dual Blades/Electric Armor Stalker who is supposed to be a parody SW character. Duck Dim Sum is his "Jedi name".
Storm Summoning is great because it makes you better than everyone else in the game. - Camma
Knockback is mitigation. It won't be removed just because meleers ***** and moan. - Chaos Creator
Well, to start off with, yes, it's corny. 
(all subsequent info comes from the KoToR 2 manual)
There's 3 basic types of master Sith.
Sith Lord: Very heavy reliance on the force. Rarely gets his own hands dirty.
Sith Marauder: Your general shock troops, general combat specialist, can use a variety of weapons well, but not any particular master in any of them, uses the Force to augment their skill.
Sith Assassin: Master of stealth, and the one hit kill. Uses te force to get him/her to the target, kills with the lightsaber, then uses the Force to get out. Force dependency depends on the difficulty of the target.
That said, my personal recommendations would be (keeping in mind this is a concept build, not optimization):
Sith Lord: MM, skills are up to you, though I would go with bots myself (assassin droids) and secondary as Dark miasma. Patron I'd go with Mu Mastery. Power pools would be Leadership and speed/leaping for travel.
Sith Marauder: Brute easily. Remember, these are out on the front lines. Primary I'd say DB (call your basic set Vibro swords until you can get the talsorians for lightsabers. Secondary I'd say invul, WP, or energy aura. Patron I'd go with soul mastery. Power pools I'd go with speed/leaping and fitness.
Sith Assassin: Stalker, nothing else fits. Primary would be Ninja Blade or DB, though a case can be made for claws. Secondary can be any, though best concept build would favor ninjitsu or SR. Patron would be Soul pool as well. speed leaping and fitness are for the power pool.
A Zabrak sith might be fairly easy to pull off convincingly. For reference, Darth Maul was a zabrak. they have short horns growing from their scalp and can have hair or be bald. they usually have facial tattoos as a symbol of their trials of adulthood. ((Darth Maul took his to the extreme))
Cerean would be more interesting (since it's rarer) but hard to pull off costume-wise. you'd almost have to do the conical helmet, unless you could pull off some stunning feats of WTF??! with the scales sliders 
or of course, any number of human jedi/sith exist in lore, so you can always take the easiest route there ^_^.
For primary powers: a brute or stalker, i'd say, with Dual Blades or Katana(stalker only). you HAVE to get the Talsorian weapons unlocked as soon as you hit 35 to simulate the lightsaber(s)
secondary: Super Reflexes (the Force lets you anticipate your opponent's moves), Willpower (your power with the Force allows you to shrug off an enemy's advance) or Dark Armor (Come witness the power of the Dark Side.)
...i wish there was a way to incorporate my Twi'lek from our Star Wars tabletop RPG into CoX, but there's no head-tails option and the doofy pigtails just weren't doin' it for me...
oh, and here's a shot of the Talsorian dual blades on my stalker, in hot pink. and here's what they look like when she uses her dark armor's hide ability with no other toggles going.
...i'm such a nerd, i'm sorry. >.< I'll be going this way now...

Well now. This is the replies I was hoping for...Gotta say, if you know KotOR...you ARE a nerd and SW Fan hehe. Dont feel bad, I used to Pencil/Paper/Dice all the time with some friends years back.
Ok so, LordLundar, you narrowed the field down alot for me...I would prefer ranged, not getting my hands dirty, but I already have a MM, and realy cant stand them. Tho, I did a google search last night and found some of the original Sith Lords names and brief discriptions of each. One intrigued me and gods, do I realy wish I could use a whip. But, there is one of the original Sith Lords (After the reformation) that intrigued me alot. Darth Nihilus came out as one of the tops. All the Sith Lords are melee of some sort, including Sithius at one point of another.
I too was considering strongly going DB/ but wasnt quite sure on the secondary. So you think Wp, Sr, or Dark huh? Hrmm...All good suggestions. Ugh, wish there was a Regen for Brutes, I could work with that a bit more easily as according to Palpatine that there was one Sith Lord who could over come death...
Well, Definately thanks for the help. But I need to get some sleep for work, I will definately sleep on this and work on it this weekend.
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.

Dark Armor has a self ressurect where you steal the life force from those around you to bring yourself back from the dead. I think that this is a very sith like power. Plus you get a heal called "Dark Regeneration." You also get cloak of fear which mimics other sith powers. Go into the Mu line for lightning esque powers as well and you have yourself a Sith Lord.
One of the "Standard" builds that they did guides on was called the Sith Lord- Dark/Elec defenders, if I remember. May not be what you want, but you do get a lot of lightning and you get to just wreck badguys. Might work even better as a corruptor.

... If you're REAL oldschool, you did the D6 system...
Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.
So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
[qr] Lord Lundar's the KOTOR fan, i just play a tabletop star wars RPG with some of the D&D buddies ( we alternate campaigns), which or DM has set in the same time period, circa 4000 BBY (Befor the Battle of Yavin--in which the first DeathStar was destroyed). So far it's a blast (hubby and I have only recently joined the SW campaign, though we've been playing D&D with the guys for years) My Twi'lek is actually the star wars version of my namesake CoH gadgetgirl defender
For the record, best to avoid having a name with 'Darth' or anything related to Star Wars, or a bio that specifically references anything from the SW universe. Copyright protection is pretty zealous in this game, lawsuits will do that.
Yeah, I went with the KotoR era because it better encompasses the variety. There were jedi and sith in the tens of thousands at that time, as opposed to about a hundred jedi and a handful of sith on the pre/during clone wars period.
For a Sith Lord, you could also make a strong case for a mind/electric dominator, with a soul patron and could also integrate the flight power pool. (could also do flight with the MM version as well)
You have to remember how they carried themselves. A lightsaber doesn't make a jedi or a sith. (It's the other way around ) Sith Lords very rarely went into physical combat and did so as a last resort. Think in terms of Darth Sidious. He only used his saber twice by movie reference and probably not much more than that through his life. Marauders could use pretty much any weapon they got their hands on to great effect, but they preferred the saber. Assassins were the most reliant on the saber because of it's ease of use and concealment.
Agreed. I was speaking for the iconic and easily-recognizable face of the Sith: the Jedi's evil counterparts.
(In the d20 system we're playing, all Force-sensitive Jedi/Sith use lightsabers. Not necessarily for offense, but because when they have their lightsaber out, they get a bonus to their defense, scaled for level, and can deflect / redirect blaster shots with them. So that's my frame of reference ^_^)

Please... D6 is the only system. That D&D 3rd ed garbage they tried to push is simply that, garbage. I still have all my old books.

The jester hat works pretty well for a Twi'lek.
Twi'lek attempt
My suggestion for a Sith type character would be a Dual Blade/Electric Brute. Get him to 35 and start working on those merits to get the Talsorian blades and you'll have a nice looking lightsaber fighter kind of look.
If you want to simulate more of the Telekinetic or Mind Control powers, I'd go with either a Grav/Electric or Mind/Electric Dominator.
I agree with Blackavaar on th Doms. You get the control AND the attacks.
Personally, i would want to get with a sword type because you can't get a saber until 35. That's a long wait if you do missions.
Possibly an Elec/Dark Brute. The Cloaks and Oppressive Gloom would be cool after you Lightning Rod into them. Just my thoughts.
Heya.
Well, this past week, I have been on a Star Wars Kick. Watched one per night, hehe. So, I have been roaming the boards, and asking questions on certain boards, but still not comming up with what I am attempting to find. So, I am posting in here with what I am hoping to find as my possible next main.
Basicaly, I want to make a Sith type. Ya know, maybe some holds, definately have to have Mu lightning. Maybe Duel Blades. Hide...Who knows. Especialy when the Force is with someone (LOL Love that crap after 6 days of getting extremely drunk watching these movies) anything is possible. Hell, Personaly, I wouldnt even rule out an Earth dom or Ar Cor...
And actualy with i15 just around the corner ( Might be a huge corner, who knows?) any AT would work to get started on.
So, anyone out there who is a Star Wars fan and can help me out with making one in CoV?
Thanks in advance for any and all help
