Your intentions for Rallis are totally fine; I'm glad you decided to make him EU material simply because one of the things I enjoy about the EU is it unites a series of different art styles and view points all under the same roof, where nothing is too far-fetched. Your ideas for him sound quite good.

That'd be wonderful; I'd love to do something like that for the "films." You and I do seem to see eye-to-eye more often than not!

We need to find someone good with Photoshop/a good artist or two to make images an such for promo posters, logos, icons, you name it. I strive for "officialism," what with my ambition and all :P The goal with everything is to make people say, "Wow, this could have come from Lucasfilm!"

As far as similarities to other characters:
 * Decimus - Yes, he is basically the new Palpatine. A bit more active though; he likes to spill the blood of his enemies himself, rather than watch others do it for him. The Sith are acting behind the scenes, sure, but I'd think Decimus would be a bit more willing to show the galaxy who and what he is (even if it's without revealing who or what he's connected to).
 * Female Sith - A sort of second-in-command, if not the leader of all the cronies (who would be the same in Decimus' eyes, mere tools to accomplish his goals).
 * The other Sith - They're just as prominent as the Twi'lek Sith would be, but without all the "privileges" she has. They aren't minor, more like "extras" in the sense that people like Dooku were. Evil and prominent, but not the main threat.
 * Xerxes XII - Xerxes, funnily enough, is entirely based on Lucas' original plans for the Emperor. So we need to keep that in mind, moving forward. He thinks he's cool, but he's really the fool. The Sith use him to keep up appearances; perhaps an attempted assassination reveals to him that he's not as important as he thinks.
 * Nexus Wan - I'd say she's more like an Episode III Anakin; I envision her to be powerful, struggling with her darkness, and more of the serious, tough type. She could be the youngest, I suppose, but she's a bit cold, personality-wise.
 * Bix Creo - I envisioned him to be a sort of Yoda-type; an old survivor of the old Jedi Order, perhaps (from the now-dead New Republic). I don't know what species he'd be…the concept art I got him from gives him the legs of a Geonosian, but he has the head of one of the two types of Mustafarians…But yes, he is Wan's instructor and later starts to teach Lorca. Then his death opens them up to the manipulations of the Sith and serves as a threat to the budding Alliance.
 * Gareth Lorca - The rogue-ish, criminal-type hero, yes! We don't know whether to trust him or not. He's also the protagonists' window to the galactic underworld.

As for the name of the Twi'lek Sith, it could be gender-neutral, I suppose, like Darth Talon. Preferably, her name would reflect a personality trait (Inexor = inexorable, or unstoppable; title comes from his arrogance, Tigran = tiger or tyrant; title comes from his bloodlust and love of battle, etc.). TK also recommended using Latin in the name-creating. We ultimately just want something Star Wars-y with a nice ring to it when spoken that is not too hard to say (something that rolls nicely off the tongue).

The twins, you don't have to name right away. As they are Sith betrayers, they don't have to have Darth names…they are the equivalent of Asajj Ventress and General Grievous: extra pawns with no real importance to the Sith who command them. Eventually they defect and probably would join the Alliance for a time. Why the New Galactic Empire would need twin dark Force wielders is something we can figure out later.

For the Mandalorian, maybe look to the Mandalorian language. Something in the vein of "Pre Vizsla," "Bo-Katan," things that sound strong. If you look at her, she's battle-scarred. Maybe she's abandoned her true name and chosen a new one over her many years of combat? The reason could be too many memories associated with the true name or something like that.
