The Sith
A Sith is an individual devoted to constant growth. This growth, in almost every form, is aimed at becoming stronger. To me a Sith should be near proficient in near everything. Of course this is not possible to the fullest extent, but the Sith does not acknowledge possible failures when and where growth can be achieved, no matter what the size. A Sith swims in the chaos that is life, but unlike the sheep, he is not swept away. Instead, he directs the flow, in sometimes minute ways, to gain his ends. Once again, this is NOT always something that can be done naturally, but a good Sith acknowledges his weakness and strengths and builds upon them.
A Sith should be a master at deceiving others. This may take practice, but it is of the utmost importance to a Sith. You must appear weak, but when your time comes you must throw off the cloak and bear your power upon the enemies of your design. Be nice to everyone you come across. Now, of course, I don’t mean actually be nice, but keep up the appearance. A good Sith listens to others and makes it known he is a good listener. This is how, in fiction, the young Senator Palpatine rose to power. He listened to both the upright senators and the corrupt. Both sides knew that he knew what they wanted. So when both sides were staunchly divided he broke through as a compromise between the sides. While the situation is merely fictional it serves to make a point: When the whole battlefield of reality is illuminated, how can one fail to act appropriately?
A Sith is a patron of ALL knowledge. Just like listening indiscriminately a Sith must horde knowledge indiscriminately. Knowledge helps us decipher the reality around us. Knowledge, applied correctly, can carry you farther than any known system on this planet. Palpatine, for example, held knowledge of both the light and dark side.
A Sith is fueled by his emotions. How else could one achieve the almighty desires of a Sith Lord? You must have will power. This will power can stem from love, hate, fear, sadness, and the list goes on and on. However, in the case of fear, a Sith does not get afraid. He is meant to be FEAR, not suffer from it. If you are afraid your mind is unclear and you will falter. Faltering is not acceptable, unless to learn a lesson. As a Sith you must learn how to hold on to emotions. Naturally as human, emotions will appear and disappear rather quickly. It is a quite simplistic survival method, but taken a bit farther and it can work miracles. When you meditate focus on everything that makes you happy, angry, sad, fearful, and then allow those things to pulse into your being. Become one with them and they shall set you free.
This makes up a large percentage of what I believe a Sith to be.
