[Star Wars] Me and my fellow Jedi peers have a certain debate on the nature of power.

Introductions first, I am Baron Manfred, and fate ordained for me to become a member of Jedi Order just as Fel Empire was crippled by the One Sith. 

Due to some circumstances I won't go in depth in, I have suffered a rather striking damage to my appearance, with my eyes and skin being permanently damaged by carbonite freezing. As a result, my eyes were replaced by vong-formed... *things*, without any consent on my part. 

Due to this ordeal, not only I look like a lovechild of Emperor Palpatine and Grand-Moff Tarkin, but my connection to the Force had suffered and it's likely I won't be able to wield it as casually as my teachers. 

There is however one talent, that I have found myself very proficient in - it may be due to my, heh, *striking* appearance, or any other reason, but I seem to be able very keenly detect fear and it's relatively easy for me to feed it in a person, inflicting crippling terror and other unpleasant conditions. 

It's hardly most precise ability, but it's probably my best shot at peacefully disabling my opponents. However many of my fellow jedi always look very disapproving when they observe me doing that, which always leads us to debate on this topic. 

*Just how close emotional manipulation skirts the Dark Side of the Force?* 

I myself not a stranger to the temptations of it, so I'm fairly sure I'll know the line should I approach it... However that was the reasoning of many fallen Jedi in the past as well, and I can't deny that making a man piss himself in paralyzing terror... well, doesn't look good.

hmm. The jedi of the old republic era considered projecting fear to be a dark side power, however there have been jedi in the who have used dark side techniques without falling. You will need to be extra vigilant against your corruption, but you should be fine if you are strong willed.
