Say if you go complete level 5 dark side, then you decide to do nothing but light side options after will your character appearance lose that corruption it had before, or once your character is scarred by the dark side there is no going back?

if you start gaining LS points, you will at some point, start to lose the DS V look, the more LS you go, the more back to normal you go

You can also completely purge the alignment points of the opposite alignment by reaching max level with either alignment. So if you reach Dark V all light side points will be gone and vice versa. So alignment is completely reversable in both directions including the titles you can earn and display on your character.

Since you specifically asked about reversing the dark side corruption, in case you didn't see it you can also deactivate the showing of the dark side corruption on your body if you click the little armor symbol above your character in the character menu and open your appearance options.

There use to be a setting to "hide" the appearance of DS corruption on your character if that is your concern. I'll log on and check it out.

Never mind … this is it !

Almost right. If you have Light points, but you want to be Dark V you have to get to 100K Dark points and then gain as many more dark points as you have light points, during which process you will see your Light total goes down while your Dark total remains 100K.

When you reach 0 Light in that condition, you willl be Dark V.

If you now switch to Light, you will gain Light points but your Dark total will remain 100K, until you reach 100K Light as well. More light gains after that will reduce your Dark total until you reach 0 Dark (with 100K Light still), at which point you will be Light V.

if you start gaining LS points, you will at some point, start to lose the DS V look, the more LS you go, the more back to normal you go

You lose the Dark V look (replaced by the Dark IV look) as soon as you have any Light points at all. 100K Dark, No Light = Dark V; 100K Dark, 1 Light = Dark IV.

You Can Kind Of Cheat....

Shame LS influence doesn't give your character a healthy, almost transcended, glow

I love this! Why should character's outward appearance ONLY be affected by the darkside influence?

Because the LS is totally natural, and as such does not alter your appearance at all.

There is no LS equivalent of DS corruption in SW lore

Cick On That, U Can Choose To Show Hood, And Dark Side Face

You cannot choose to show or hide a hood, unless the thing that looks like a hood is in fact a helmet, because the checkbox is "Hide Head Slot" == "Hide Helmet". (Some helmets hide chest-armour hoods if they are not hiddenn.)
