Sul Ip has a legendary and virulent need for vengeance. Once crossed, he will make it his life’s work to ensure that whatever slight was received is repaid tenfold. This need for vengeance can be all-consuming, and can often lead to short-sighted decisions.

Sul Ip has a past filled with hate, vengeance, and pain. He uses the memories of his home life to fuel his powers in combat, and will use his emotions to destroy anyone that stands in his way.

The Sith rely on their passions to give them strength. Sul Ip thinks inwards, only of things that matter to him, and always does what is in his best interests. He feels nothing about hurting others, or exploiting opportunities, and believes himself to be special, and above all others.

Killing has never been a problem for Sul Ip; and he kind of enjoys it now, if he is honest. Killing's what Sul Ip does, and he likes what he does.

Where most err on the side of caution in a confrontation, Sul Ip prefers to charge in head-first. While others may skirt a battlefield or keep their careful distance, Sul Ip rushes in with devastating attacks with seemingly no regard for safety, relying upon instinct and possibly armor to protect him from dismemberment and death during his all-out attacks. Sul Ip is a force to be feared on the battlefield, leaving a trail of death and destruction. However, Sul Ip's blood-hungry ways put him in far more danger than the normal combatant, often resulting in needless injury and suffering, trading safety for pure offensive ability.

Sul Ip possesses a single minded drive for victory, and a deep-seated martyr complex. When presented with a chance to wade into battle versus overwhelming odds, Sul Ip does not hesitate, and instead rushes in, relying on skill, fate or chance to let him survive.
