Kissai
A Sith Specialist who feels his connection to the Force strongest when working in the realm of Sorcery, the Kissai focus all techniques and method of embracing the Dark Side around Sorcery and Magick.

In Fiction the Kissai were the subspecies of the ancient Sith race that was enslaved by the exiled Dark Jedi on Korriban. The Kissai were the priest class in the Sith caste system, where the Kissai would study the nature of the Dark side of the Force and practice of ancient Sith Magic and Alchemy. Among the Sith, the Kissai became the priests and spiritual leaders who would indoctrinate others in the teachings of the Sith.

Kissai were loyal and capable allies who preferred to work with others, making them excellent aides and assistants. They responded well to instruction and were adaptable despite great adversity. The Kissai were just as ruthless as the Massassi, but they were more intelligent and observant. Their strict cultural standards demanded that they serve their masters well, a trait instilled in them by the Dark Jedi who first enslaved their species.

Like their warrior counterparts the Massasi, in the real world Dark Aspect, Kissai were born out of the necessity to create a Sub Genre of practitioners who focused primarily on Sorcery and Magick. This was in line with the First Dynasty teaching, that found their primary influence in western Sorcery teachniues. Drawn by the Dark Side, a Sith Sourcer who went by the name Kiss, embraced the Kissai terminology as a demonstration of the Force's will.

Mask (The)
First Dynasty Sith philosophical concept. A Psychological filter, where by the Sith can protect himself by not exposing the true feelings and thoughts under the surface of the Personality.

Massassi
A Sith specialist who feels his connection to the Force strongest when practicing the martial arts, and so alters every technique to specialize in combat applications.

In the Fiction, The Massassi were the subspecies of the ancient Sith race that was enslaved by the exiled Dark Jedi on Korriban. Massassi were fearsome, loyal, and formidable warriors, and as such comprised the warrior class in the Sith caste system. They loyaly served their Sith masters, but when on their own, dedicated themselves only to whatever life they chose.

In addition to the focus on war and fighting, the Massassi were also loyal and organized. They were taught to live for the glory of battle. Massassi were trained to carry out complex battle plans and maintain their equipment, starships, and weaponry. The Massassi also used Alchemically hardened armor.

Use of the term Massasi was adopted by the real world Sith, as knowledge and approach to embrace of the Dark Side continued to grow. A Sub Genre of Sith emerged from the early training programs, who focused on martial arts and combat strategies over manipulation, politics, sorcery or spirituality. The Original name for this Sub Genre was Jensari.

After years of Non representation by Jensari within the Dark Aspect communities, the definition changed, and argued over, time and again. This resulted in the creation of distinct belief systems and affiliations with other Force Traditions, that bore little to no resemblance to the Original creation. These new traditions had no focus on combat arts, use of the force in combat, or the predator mind frame (a traditional Jensari/Massasi Philosophy and Approach).

For this reason two Dark Lords from the Dark Council saw a need to re term the Jensari, utilizing another fiction based name, calling them instead, Massassi. As the Massassi of the Star wars universe fit perfectly with the real world combat wing of the Sith. Though an inspiration, the Massassi of the Star Wars universe bears little resemblance to it real world counterpart, just as the real world Krath, Kissai, and Sith bare little resemblance.
