Character Name: Radiant Dawn
Rank Seeking: Crusader
What Does It Mean To Be a Sith?: In reality, Dawn doesn't see himself as a Sith, though he has taken great pains to hide that fact from most people he knows, including the IC officials that would determine his advancement. Defecting openly is not in his agenda, however, and he does have a good answer to give.
Being a Sith for Dawn entails loyalty to the Empire, and a commitment to its betterment. He would also say that being a Sith entails a mastery of one's emotions, utilizing them effectively to enact one's will via the Dark Side of the Force. Though true peace is a lie, the peace that springs from effectively harnessing emotional turbulence is the key that separates an animal slave of the Dark from a true Sith. This mastery of one's emotional self, combined with an outward mastery of one's mind (through knowledge and learning) and one's body (through practice and martial artistry) lead to true freedom, and guide the true Sith on his path to it.
Specialization: Dawn aims to be a jack of all trades, capable of handling any situation quickly and effectively. However, he has an especial affinity for Sorcery despite his martial talents, and thus wishes for the title of Inquisitor.
P.S: I'm aware that I have quite a few abandoned threads. If necessary, I can easily do more. I just want to get this up here since Dawn is at the very least somewhat close.

Training Threads
Mission Threads:
Duel Threads:
- The First Steps: Dawn duels fellow Acolyte Kes in a training spar, eventually ending in a draw. Complete.
- Down the Rabbit Hole: His initial headstrong attitude is shown in this thread more than anything else, when he and a group of Acolytes go to learn from a Crusader. Abandoned.
- A Sith Debate: Another thread with Acolyte Kes, it showcases Dawn's knowledge of Sith Philosophy, as well as the excellent front he can put up in front of his own, more private thoughts. Complete.
- Soresu for Ataru: Dawn undergoes a trade of knowledge with Kes, Dawn teaching him Ataru while he teaches him the basics of Soresu. Ongoing, nearing Completion
- Amateur Talk Strategy: Professionals Talk Logistics: Dawn, with other Acolytes, furthers his knowledge of military strategy. Abandoned
- Beauty For Truth: A thread where Dawn learns of Force Sight's intricacies, taught by Crusader Viole Nivar. Complete
- When Leaves Fall: An Ataru Lesson with Crusader Nox. Abandoned
- Absorbing the Lesson: A Tutaminis lesson, once again with Crusader Nox. Abandoned.
- Aggressive Technique: One of Dawn's harshest life lessons as a Sith. Though his attack of a Crusader is detrimental to his advancement, the fact he survived a fall off the Academy's roof, and managed to recover and remain committed to the Imperium, along with humbly accepting his lesson, is admirable. It also taught him the value of controlling his emotions. I killed this thread because I'm an idiot, but my part in it is complete.
- Theory of the Force: Showcases Dawn's more deviant ideas concerning the Force, and offered a glimpse into himself he could have never fathomed to see. Helped Dawn grow emotionally stronger. Complete.
- Sharing Knowledge: An Unexpected Arrival: Dawn meets Jen'dzu Taral and obliges to teach him the secrets of lightsaber building. Ongoing.
- Sharing Knowledge: The Blind Leading the Blind: Dawn teaches Acolyte 13 how to build a lightsaber. Relatively complete
- Of Darkest Knowledge: Sith Magic Theory and Introduction: Dawn learns about Sith Sorcery from Crusader Sin'ryk. Abandoned, but I learned from Sin it was counted in his advancement and that my charrie still technically learned the class' content.
- The Rite of Blood and Bone: The Trial of Radiant Dawn: One of Sin's many "trial" threads, here Dawn faces his darkest self, thus helping him grow as a character. Ongoing
- Well Met Once More: Dawn and Kes meet up for the umpteenth time and duel again. Shows off Dawn's unorthodox usages of Ataru intermixed with martial arts. Ongoing.
Mission Threads:
- Flight 327 Down: Mission to Level 1313: Though this is a training thread, I'm considering it also a mission due to the story context. Dawn goes to Coruscant along with Acolyte Sabek to save a VIP in distress. Abandoned
- Mando'ad Draar Digu: A death and capture enabled mission thread where Dawn and (you guessed it) Kes pursue a fugitive named Canderous Ordo. Ongoing.
Duel Threads:
- Mechis III Match: Dawn faces off against Acolyte Mitsuki Al-Mysterio. She wastes all her energy and collapses. Victory
- Insert Generic Relevant Duel Title Here: Dawn engages an initially friendly duel with Viole Nivar. His invasion of Dawn's unprepared mind was something he couldn't handle. However, he has since strengthened his mind greatly, and it has also helped him grow more prepared in general. Loss.
- Under the Twin Moons: While preparing to meet a Bakuran surgeon concerning his lungs, he finds a Jedi Padawan of a strange species. Though he doesn't fight in earnest, more fascinated by the Jedi than anything, it helped him to gain experience of how they fight for when he actually needs to. Loss.
