Xanthax

He embraces the Sith philosophy of power, passion, and personal strength, but considers dishonor a weakness. He doesn't believe the Sith must be cruel—only that they must be strong enough to impose their will. The 12 Tenets of Yurvin I. Never Break Your Word A promise is sacred. Once given, it becomes a matter of honor, regardless of whether keeping it is advantageous. "A Sith who cannot keep his word is a Sith whose word has no power." II. Never Strike the Helpless He will fight enemies, but refuses to murder the defenseless, torture prisoners, or kill those who cannot meaningfully resist. This doesn't make him merciful. If someone chooses to fight him, he will destroy them without hesitation. III. Face Your Enemy He despises assassination, poison, and attacks from concealment—not because they're ineffective, but because they deny the enemy the opportunity to demonstrate their own strength. He will sometimes use deception strategically, but considers killing an unaware opponent personally dishonorable. IV. Honor a Worthy Opponent A strong enemy deserves respect. If an opponent defeats him fairly, he accepts the defeat. If an enemy fights courageously, he remembers their name. He may even allow a defeated enemy to leave alive. V. Protect Those Under Your Banner His followers are not disposable servants. If someone swears allegiance to him, he assumes responsibility for their welfare. A soldier who dies serving him will not be forgotten. This creates an interesting contrast with other Sith: his followers genuinely love him. VI. Punish Betrayal, Not Failure Failure is acceptable. Incompetence is not. Cowardice and betrayal are not. A subordinate who makes an honest mistake might be forgiven. Someone who betrays him will receive a terrible punishment VII. Never Demand What You Will Not Do Yourself If he orders his soldiers into battle, he fights beside them. If he demands sacrifice, he is prepared to sacrifice himself. If he expects obedience, he accepts the consequences of his own commands. VIII. Respect the Oaths of Others Even an enemy's oath has meaning. If a defeated knight, warrior, or soldier gives their word, he honors it. IX. Power Demands Responsibility This is the heart of his philosophy. A futuristic version of noblesse oblige. The strong have the ability to shape the lives of others. Therefore, they have the responsibility to do so wisely. He doesn't believe in equality. He believes the strong are obligated to rule well. "Power is not a privilege. It is a burden borne by those strong enough to carry it." X. Never Kneel to the Unworthy His greatest personal principle. He will serve someone he respects. He will ally with someone stronger than himself. But he will never submit to someone he considers weak, cowardly, or corrupt. And this is his flaw. His arrogance can make him completely incapable of recognizing that he himself has become. he embraces the Sith philosophy of power, passion, and personal strength, but considers dishonor a weakness.. XI. Passion Is Not Shameful He doesn't suppress anger, love, ambition, hatred, or desire. He believes emotions are the source of strength—but discipline determines whether passion makes you powerful or enslaves you. A quote from the Tenets of Yurvin. "The Jedi fear their passions. The Sith surrender to them. I shall do neither. I shall master mine." He looks at the Sith around him and consider them pathetic—murderous, treacherous, obsessed with domination for its own sake. Rather than utilizing that domination to bring order. A quote from the Tenets of Yurvin The only life worth living, is the one with a legacy, if your are going to leave a mark on the galaxy then leave a mark so great, that even the galaxy can't erase it XII. Unknown The last and greatest tenet of the code. Lost to the galaxy. Yet to be found. And open for whatever you find in your adventure.
