The most undeveloped character

Originally posted by truejedi
honestly, there are tons of underdevoloped characters. almost all of them that aren't main characters to be honest. each video game: I mean, whatever happened to Rosh Penin? anybody know that? Where did Darth Sion come from for that matter? Where did darth revan come from in the first place ? prior to KOTOR, we just don't know.

I'm a proponent of the theory that Haazen from the KotOR-comics will end up being "Sion"....and, likewise, Krynda Draay "Kreia"....and, likewise, Lucien Draay "Nihilus." Although I do believe I read somewhere that the intention behind his character was what supposed to be what was left behind after the Exile's detachment from the Force....

I'd REALLY like to know more about the canon-Revan. That's inevitable, though. And also more about a couple of classic characters: Bollux and Leebo, the two greatest 'droids (aside from HK-47) to come out of the EU....

I'll believe that Nihilus was powerful when I have to actually move to defeat him.

Besides, EVERYONE in that game was under-developed.

Nihilus was at least vaguely original
a cosmic force
him and Traya and Sion are infinitely prferable over Malak and the Jedi answer to Thrawn...i mean Revan

The Triumvirate members may be a tad more original, but the way they and their story was portrayed fails compared to Revan and Malak's.

Plo Koon

Most underdeveloped characters are Tulak Hord,Ajunta Pall,and Darth Plaugueis. Personally I would like to know more about Darth Rivan

Nihilus.

I'd just like to know more about everyone. But pretty much all the KOTOR people and Yoda sound good. You know who else, Sidious. What I want to know is how that guy got so messed up. He's way more psychotic than most other Sith (I actually could be friends with one or two- Bane, Revan, Krayt...) and I want to Know why

Yeah, you'd be their friend... I once considered myself nerdy ya know.

Frankly, I don't want to know Palpatine's back story. The tidbits we get, and his emergence into politics is enough. What's lefty of his mystique would be ruined if we found out say, his first name, or what his parents looked like etc.

i agree same with yoda i'm glad know one knows what species he is.

I don't think Lucien will end up being Nihilus, but I agree about Haazen being Sion and Krynda being Kreia.

Revan is completely underdeveloped because all that defines him so far are player choices in KOTOR and whatever the official 'this is what happened' story is.

why would this Krynda change her real name ?
these others being Sion and Nihilus makes sense because those are their "Sith names" but Kreia is Traya's real name i thought

Yes, Nihilus is definitely one of the most undeveloped characters. He may be original and powerful, but he's just... there. Nothing is known about him, not even his name. He's not a Sith, not really. He does not speak basic, you can't even see his face, for god's sake.

He's certainly not original outside of Star Wars, but he is undeveloped for the time being. I thought that was what the silly comics were planning to do though?

actually the mask nihilious wears is his face, appaently he fused himself with his suit and became like alphonse for Fullmetal Alchemist, thats what krayt says in legacy anyway

Wait...how can Krayt know that? I thought all the ancient Sith Lords wouldn't give knowledge to Krayt.

And that can't be true, since one of the options after you and Visas kill Nihilus in KOTOR II is to have Visas take his mask then look into his face. She couldn't take his mask if it was his face, could she? Plus in some of the pics you can barely make out the outlines of facial features behind his mask.

He has a face under the mask, but it is quite possible his biological body is dead, with the mask holding his life force.

Well i liked the idea at first of nihilus mask being revans skull.

That would mean that Revan is done away with, of course. I don't think they'd pull that one...

Caedusrulesall, Krayt used Sith holocrons in one of the first story arcs in an attempt to commune with Sith Lords for advice on how to extend his life due to ancient lore he had known. In Nihilus' case, apparently the Sith Lord preserved his identity by imbuing his armor with his conscience, but he was entirely unhelpful to Krayt because he speaks gibberish.

Nihilus is like the original Dracula from the book
he didn't hae some huge laid out past but he was there he was intimidating and he was evil
Nihilus got a lot of build-up in the form of "he's a total effin' beast" in KOTOR II but a lot of things about who or what he is personally are left a mystery
it's pretty obvious that they wanted to establish him more as a force than a character and felt that adding in huge loads of details on who he was and what he did and etc. would humanize him and detract from his mythic proportions that they were establishing
i mean even simple things like what he looks like and what he is saying are purposefully kept from being revealed

plus if you want the Exile = Nihilus theory is still valid
got this from another forum
