i know that sith get there names from there traits but can sum 1 please tell me were alll them came form and if you could make any SW universe character be dark what would you call them even non force sesitves like jango he stll counts just pretend that he is force sensiyive
As far as I know, the very first sith were Outcast Jedi who fled to Korriban. Originally, the Sith were a red-skinned species native to Korriban, but the Outcast Jedi started breeding with them, and the Jedi also "awed" the Sith with their force powers, and they begun to call themselves the Dark Lords of the Sith. Then the Sith species went extinct, and suddenly the Sith became a religion as we now know it.

the sith tales are very scattery and full of weird twist and turns with first Sith species, then all that, leading to the actual Sith order, which eventually killed itself (with the help of the jedi) eventually leading to the rule of 2...
its very difficult to say where the names came from. other then with the rule of 2, that the masters gave it to them.
I know this. But I dunno who started it, because supposedly bane did, but he comes after Revan and malak, right? Exar Kun was the last to not use Darth.

But wasn't it Bane who decided that the Sith should now operate in secrecy - he may have decided that Sith should be given a new title to go after 'Darth' like Tyranus or Sidious. I dont know if there were other Sith lords before Bane that used different names when they becaome a Sith Lord - of course Revan and Malak used there original names and so forth . . .
I guess then Revan and Malak began the "Darth" thing. And I guess Vader and Bane and Sidious and all that stuff is devried from different words. Vader = Father. Sidious is probably the word Insidious, meaning deceitful and that. Bane, well, I dunno. Plaegius (SP) sounds like Plague.

Oh, most of the infamous Darths we know of, their names usually derive from a word.
Darth Bane: A bane is something that causes pain or betrayal. Bane betrayed the rest of the Sith Lords on Ruusan in order to preserve the Sith for the future.
Darth Sidious: Insidious means scheming and plotting. Sidious does plenty of that, as we can tell.
Darth Maul: To maul is to basically smash something into a pulp or rip it to shreds, usually the latter. Maul seems quite capable of shreddage.
Darth Vader: Palpatine knew of Anakin's worry for Padme and his future child, so named his Vader, which is close to the German word for 'father.'
Darth Tyranus: Dooku was a tyrant!
Darth Plagueis: A plague is a very harmful thing that wipes out hundreds to thousands of people, like the Black Plague. Fits a Sith Lord.
As for Revan and Malak, Revan seems like 'Raven' which was considered to be a cursed, evil bird, like the crow, but I am clueless to Malak.

The get their names from their masters or choose their names for themselves (can be also done).
For the names origins:
The term "Darth" might just come from "Dark Lord of the Sith" but also seems familar with "dark".
Individual names:
Traya - obviously "betrayal"
Sion - could come from "scion" meaning heir
Nihilus - latin "nihil" meaning "nothing"
Plagueis - obviously Plague
Sidious - most likely from "insidious" meaning "treacherous", "seductive" and "subtle"
Maul - actualy "Maul" is a german word meaning "mouth" (of an animal)...in terms of language history this can also just mean "evil" (Middle English malle, from Old French mail, from Latin malleus)
Tyranus - the name comes from "tyrant" or "tyrannous"; mention that "Dooku" possibly comes from the japanese word "Doku" meaning "poison".
Vader - most likely "invader"

Oh, thats what you wanted to know. Let me fill in some parts Tulak. Two Republic citizens found themselves on Korriban while Naga Sadow and Ludo Kresh were fighting to determine the next Sith leader after the death of Marko Ragnos. The two Republic citizens are captured, and to make a long story short. One escapes, while the other stays and learns dark side teaching. The one that escapes, but only to find that she is being tracked by Naga Sadow. Which leads an attack on the Republic, escalating in the Great Hyperspace War.
Then you havent played KotOR 2 then. Traya being Kriea, Nihilus, the white masked character, poster boy, and Sion, the lord of pain. Come on Rex, get with it man.
