I Like This Dudes Personality He Sounds Pretty Interesting - Blog Posts

This dude a piece of work in enjoyable sort of way.

Ammix Kirollan is from a long line of Sith and fancies himself a new, more progressive voice in a tradition he thinks could be better. This does not mean he's a nice or good person, but more that he thinks Sith philosophies and fear and hatred and violence should be made accessible to more people. Like, Jadus, without the supervillain monologues. If you met this man, you would probably want to stab him, except then he'd be proud of you as he's Force choking you in revenge and that's just bizarre.

Ammix genuinely thinks being violent and casually cruel is a sign of strength - the aesthetically strong man who has never contended with his own problems and instead chooses to stab his way past them. He also thinks he is imparting some great wisdom on others when he tries to share this concept with them. Because adults who are not already entrenched in imperialism and fascism don't tend to listen when a guy holds them at lightsaber-point and says "you'd be so much happier if you weren't afraid to kill people," he finds that youths are more... Receptive... To his "teachings."

So he becomes an abusive adoptive father. His children are raised to compete for approval, stab each other in the back metaphorically if not literally to come out on top, and to mistreat those "lesser" in order to prove their own strength and worth. Some thrive on this (or at least think that they do - they truly do not) but most either crumple under the emotional and physical abuse or, like Del'qarev, cut Ammix and the other kids off as soon as possible. Ammix doesn't get why - Del is one of his success stories, risen to the role of Emperor's Wrath, and he thinks he's the one who got Del there. Talking to Ammix always gives an impression of a genuinely cordial man up until someone does something to displease him, and then the real Sith comes out.

(playing him in-game reveals the same paternalistic energy - it's how he behaves toward Jaesa, who he definitely makes fall, and he actually appreciates Quinn's betrayal as much as he hates it because that is how to do it! The friendliest of my dark-side characters, and the most horrifying because of it)
