Sith or Jedi?

[Darth_Phobius47]

In my opinion, I consider myself a renegade. I embrace some of the ideals of both factions, yet I choose neither side. I tend to tangle with the jedi, but I will fight sith if necessary. The reason for my choosing the sith title of Darth is to strike fear in those who cross me. However, morally I lean more toward the Dark side. A Dark Jedi Sentinel of sorts, but without actually being part of the Order. A Ronin Force user if you will...

I don't recall actually stating a preference for points.  I think my first points awarded were light because I opened with a line that I said to my daughter as she was going to sleep at night:  "As long as there is light, I will be here."  The light side points just continued to come. 

To me, a point is a point no matter which direction it comes.  It is not a reflection of your character honestly.

Jedi, always been Jedi. Like others, I like the ideals or order, peace, justice, hope. I don't like the manipulative and evil side of the sith, always looking out for themselves, only helping others if it helps them individually. Is it saying something that when I play motor, I can't play dark side? I've tried a few times, but my instincts always point me to the light side path!
in saying that though, I don't fully agree with the Jedi code. A lack of knowledge or understanding isn't necessarily a good excuse for inaction, and I have other reasons (but I'm at work and running out of lunch break!) if your definition of a grey Jedi is "follows the Jedi order but doesn't always agree with the dogma' (see other post) then id be a grey Jedi. I haven't read much into the star wars universe, but I fancy myself more a Jedi sentinel I think

Sith.

my Passion drives me. passion for the things i do and passion for my family.
my rage makes me stronger. i can literally feel the adrenilin rushing through my muscles, making me able to do things that i never thought i could pysically. same with fear.
the lust for power is strong too. i want to be better than my freind at lightsaber duelling. i find i have an edge when i want revenge for a painful hit. (controlled, of course, i dont just lash at him lol)
and most of all, i always feel the need to prove myself the better through combat. (lightsaber again, i dont just start fights with random people!)

i tried jedi. meditation, calmness etc. i just ended up getting angry.

[B1ondeange1]

in saying what i did though, i personally prefer black clothing, and my favourite band is disturbed. as a teen i used to play linkin park to calm me, was the only music i could study to (dont like their new direction, but we wont go there). also as a teenager i used to go bash up my kick bag when i was in a bad mood id feel much better afterwards! i guess thats a bit sith like in nature

but in contrast again to that, i also trained regularly in taekwondo as a teen, if i got stuck in an assignment or study id use my classes as a break, then come back and blitz my studying. course theres all the good things that come from exercise there, training helps release a lot of tension. and i had friends at taekwondo. but it was also about self control, discipline and respect. our academy and my instructor in particular emphasised those values over just being good at sparring and belting other people up. power and respect came from being able to control yourself, from doing the techniques right, not from just getting angry and going full ball at the other person. keeping a level and cool head to analyse your opponent and predict their next moves usually worked much better than getting angry and letting your emotions control your actions. sure anger can make you stronger, but its not necessarily going to let you win.
i never did taekwondo for the competition side of things, and i was never particularly good at sparring, only competitively sparred a few times and only as a higher belt, so i got my butt handed to me a few times in local competitions. i was in it for the fun of it- at one stage i was training and teaching 5 to 6 days a week in three different clubs at my academy. so taekwondo was kinda my life lol, and with the emphasis being on discipline and self control i guess thats kind of jedi-ish

Ah, this old discussion, but in a new thread.

I would disagree that Jedi necessarily means order - Sith seek order too - but Rel and I have differed on these little semantic points for ages now, and I do so love to play Sith's Advocate. 

Now, to me, Sith Order is an imposed order, an order that comes from enforcing one's vision upon others.  "I believe X, therefore you need to believe X or you are my enemy."  That old chestnut about Sith dealing in absolutes.

Jedi, to me, seek not Order, but Harmony - that life has its flow, and that to walk the Light Side is to accept that flow and realize that others can see it differently, and that many viewpoints can each be correct.  I may see something as green, while a color-blind person might see it as gray.  Each of us is correct in how we interpret that for ourselves.  I suppose it might touch on the idea of multiple personal paradigms existing within the overarching sphere of a communal consensual paradigm...

Justice and Hope, however, I would agree with.

I can play a Sith pretty well (long foundation in RPGs).  But in life - I try to see from the other person's point of view as much as I can, and I work in a customer service environment.

Harmony...seeing color compared to black and white...this...we can agree with this

Jedi. why would you want to be a sith and bring suffering? they get there power through suffereing!

[Genkaku Sho`shyk]

simply put...  the force, nothing more... nothing less...    i listen, and follow the force.. it tells me where im needed.. i am slave to no mortal, as the force sustains me in every way thinkable... weather it be drainning my foes who fall to my blade... or meditating and absorbing what sustenance the force will provide... i do not take this energy, as it flows into me freely.. i simply except it....

if the force see fit to have my life end, it may do so at any given moment...

this is my grey..

***note.. i do not look for killing, but if i must kill and entity, i would take its essence... not by force, but that the force itself would redirect what energies it saw fit to my being, from said entity***

[Averrial Rogue Jedi]

Personally I identify with both ,but both arnt even opposites sith hate ,no love in core of their order however love is forbiden in the jedi order.  Love is an act of creation love brings life.  The foce is an invisable force guiding all of us so when it brings you to someone how do you know it's not meant to be?  To be a Jedi is to deprive ones self of being human.  Just because you don't acknowledge somthing doesnt mean it goes away.  Just like Hal Jordan said basically courage is not the absence of fear but acknowledging and overcoming.  That and both sith and Jedi fear the same thing curuption of both ideas I mean for both factions nothing's changed almost since the beginning.  I'm grey but i sway to light just dont like having to give up all emotion and don't want be sith to kill my master so there can only be two I like family not backstabbing each other

"''There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no fear; there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force.''"

[Deceptae]

If you met me on the street, you'd swear I was a Jedi. I'm kind-hearted, nice, friendly, and will generally go out of my way to do something for someone. However, I very much respect and identify with the Sith philosophy. That is not to say I would love going around killing or torturing innocent people for the hell of it. I do however love the idea of drawing strength from your passions and that emotions can be a very potent tool to use. In my times of anger, rage, heartbreak, and depression, I've never felt more energized or empowered and capable of action. I guess I tend to fluctuate between the two. On the outside I'm pretty much as Jedi as they come, but I secretly relate more to the ways of a Sith in their quest for power, strength through passion, and hunger for something more always. Now there are times when internally I am quite at peace and very calm, but that is mainly when I'm not in conflict with something or when I don't have a goal to strive for. Typically though, you'll find I much more identify with the Sith, just not the evil jackass side of it lol. As an example, if I had a goal I really wanted to see achieved, a typical Jedi would take a very structured logical path with the least amount of conflict in order for that goal to be met. I, however, would do whatever it took to see it fulfilled in the quickest way possible and in the simplest way possible (taking the quick and easy path).

In my opinion, I consider myself a renegade. I embrace some of the ideals of both factions, yet I choose neither side. I tend to tangle with the jedi, but I will fight sith if necessary. The reason for my choosing the sith title of Darth is to strike fear in those who cross me. However, morally I lean more toward the Dark side. A Dark Jedi Sentinel of sorts, but without actually being part of the Order. A Ronin Force user if you will...

This is why I use the term "Gray Sith" to describe myself.

[Rina Ascura]

I wonder if there are any Light Sith... There are Dark Jedi, so there must be Light Sith, too.

[DarthJimmer]

I wonder if there are any Light Sith... There are Dark Jedi, so there must be Light Sith, too.

I would say yes, but I think Sith Implies you are fueled by hate. And if you hard fueled by anger and hate, the dark side consumes you, leaving you no choice in the matter. That's why as a Je'daii I would use emotion, love, and passion, as well as the Force in Nature, In Science, Alchemy, etc. but at a balance with the light.

[RedSuinit]

Jedi, I could explain in more detail, but I just don't feel like it right now.
