Analysis: The Art of Seething

#1
Seething: What Is It?

To put it in simplest terms, Seething is the most basic art of utilizing one's emotions for focus and drive. Some misclassify it as allowing one to keep fighting, or "healing" their stamina in the middle of a fight, but Seething is neither of these. It is simply an extra edge, the most basic inherent ability of the Dark Side. Each Acolyte should already know of this, and be able to utilize it to gain a small advantage over normal foes.

The Process

When you have emotions of anger, rage, pain... you may utilize these to Seethe, drawing on the emotions within. So, too, can you draw from another's pain. By centering your emotions, putting them at the forefront of your mind to stew in them, you bring your mind into almost a euphoric state. Contrast this with bloodlust, which is only focus on murder and carnage. In this state of euphoria, charged by emotions, you can focus better in the fight, the excitement driving you on further to continue. You cannot build on this, however, because once you are out of energy, you are out. This merely increases efficiency.

Other Uses

When utilized during training, or meditating in an area with a Dark Side aura, it allows you to keep your focus on the former and to sense your surrounds better in the latter. The practice of cultivating emotions builds into much more, especially into Shock, which utilizes the same anger and pain to shape the energy from your form out through your fingertips. One can attribute many of the rushes and intense feelings they get from using the Dark Side to the very beginning, their first Seethings.

Conclusion

While it is well-known to be a fairly simple thing to do, Seething is an art which is easy to understand, and also easy to miss. It is not always a thing that is taught, and while it does not take long to do so, it can be proven to be essential to guiding Acolytes towards a proper path, giving them little tastes of power and a small stepping stone towards their learning of actual powers. One will not be graded on how well they can Seethe, but only if they can.

Ongoing Crisis
The Republic Marches amongst lit fires!


The Balance of Power in the Northern Territories!

After the Republic liberated Pollus from Imperial influence, Anx Minor was devastated by I.T.E.C.’s nuclear mining and lingering Sith presence, while the Kesmere Ridge remained largely intact, enabling the Republic to steadily infiltrate and influence its powerful corporate systems. On Tertiary Kesmere—the largest hub—three megacorporations dominated: Oriyn Prospecting discovered resources, Kessdyne Resource Group extracted and profited from the capital Vethar’s Reach and its Ciivic Council, and Haeltor Maritime handled off-world transport. Beneath the façade of economic growth, however, The Republic secretly aimed to turn Tertiary Kesmere into a strategic launch point for operations in the Northern Territories. Contacted by Moff Vayen Korr, the Marshalling Prefect of the Northern Territories, the Pentarchy of House Horuset took on the job of delaying the Republic's actions. With preperations laid it culminated in a strike planetside lasting only two weeks to ignite anarchy. Acting covertly to sabotage Republic progress, they destabilized the region, leaving chaos in their wake as corporations collapsed under their own deception and local anti-corporate guilds rose up—unaware of the Empire’s hidden hand behind the unrest...

((OOC: Missions that relate to grand changes in the Northern Territories will have an impact on the balance of power shown above, with the end result being that the balance of power's state will determine how strong the Republic will be in given areas area. The balance of power can be pushing in our favour with bigger scale events aimed at taking the Republic down or fortifying ourselves in the North. This can be achieved through Operations, Adventures and Guild Events. The blue represents the Republic, and the Empire is red! This is organised by the Guild Team, so please direct OOC questions to them.))
