Sorry you did not get a reply sooner, you should have. Life's been a bit crazy following the election and a big banquet this weekend.
Sadly I must report that custom characters such as what you're describing do not meet the 501st qualifications for approval.
The costume must be of an official character and their official costume.
For example, if you had concept art and game art with Vette, in a particular flight suit outfit that was printed and/or what she is seen with in game normally, that would be fine. But if you put her in Darth Malak's outfit, that would not.
More in line with what you've described though, Darth Marr would likely be a great candidate for what you mentioned, and we do not currently have any. It would take a lot of work, but no more than making the character you described I would suspect.
Additionally, I believe that the Emperor would be a great candidate for a costume and a bit interesting to make look rough/scary as well as allow you to see.
If you do have your heart set on this particular character, that is totally understandable, and I would suggest you check out the Dark Empire, another Star Wars costuming club, known to work with us from time to time in some locations. They will have guidelines for making a character like that.
Alternatively you could always look to make one of the many many characters we offer and we'd love to have you.
My suggestion is to go with what your heart really tells you you want to do. Whatever it is, find something that you can be passionate about and make something that the whole world will want to see (or a bunch of really excited Star Wars fans at the very least. )
I am confused. Why would Darth Marr be acceptable but a Marauder wouldn't be? There are Sith Acolytes but the only difference between that look and a Marauder is 2 sabers instead of one.

Hijack away.
Thanks for the information. I am pretty set on the Marauder idea. I will dig deeper and post some pictures once I can find them.

I bought the Phantom 3 as a staff. I purchased that set to give me the two for dual wielding. LOVE them. Absolutely love them. Very durable and fun to play with. I recommend them.

I put this in the Introductions thread but I am not sure it was actually seen.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am known by many as Shiyan and those who know me, know that I am a fan of the Saga. I will leave this brief for now because I have been looking into the 501st but am having a difficult time determining if the character I wish to create will be accepted in the 501st. I have found a listing for the Sith Acolyte that looks similar to what I was looking for but the name is not quite right. My idea is from the SWTOR era and is a Sith Marauder. Dual lightsaber wielding Sith Warrior that becomes the Rage of the Emperor in The Old Republic time. Is this accepted or can it be considered to be accepted? I am starting to build the costume so I have nothing to provide picture wise as to what it will look like. So far, I have the lightsabers but that is all at this point. Any help you folks can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
