So I have been thinking more and more about the next cosplay I want to work on, and partly down to always loving Star Wars, and partly down to my lovely girlfriend who is planning a Jedi cosplay, I have decided to make a Sith.

I do not intend to copy a canon Sith - I want to create my own and add a unique brand to the Sith Empire.

It is only a vague assortment of ideas, but this is what I have so far:
Black trousers and boots - Nothing fancy, going for a simple look to not distract from the rest of the costume.
Red sash across the waist - To help break up all the black.
Some form of bandages or lower arm guard - Bare arms doesn't feel right, but I want something on my arms.
Claw on left hand - I am thinking this will be done with jewellery on each finger. Think the witch from the new Conan film.
Naked torso, but decorated with scars and tattoos - I want a savage look, but I also feel that in a lightsaber duel, skin would stop a lightsaber just as much some cloth would. I'm not sure what tattoos I want however.

The big problem I'm having is my face. I can't wear contacts, and a helmet would seem odd. So scars, tattoos and warpaint are the main things that come to mind. I have been suggested some form of wrap, one that goes from the top of the shoulders up to my mouth, which personally reminds of Raziel from Soul Reaver.

Lightsaber will obviously be a red bladed one, and I am looking at importing one from the USA from a company called Ultraforge. I have seen one that has three long metal prongs attached to the hilt that follow the blade for roughly six inches, which just scream Sith.

So there is my current idea. If anyone reads this and cares to offer any thoughts, feel free to comment :)
