Whew, hope I made the deadline... FYI anything in here that needs edited to fit the campaign is fine with me
Nor Darrak
One of the newest additions to the academy, Nor has tied to avoid the codist/experimentalist debate as much as possible. Although, even a quick examination of his methods and attitudes reveals that he is an experimentalist by nature. This might have been enough to earn a 'no vote' from the codist faculty but for three points. First, he does not mind taking on the 'odd' or 'problem' students generally keeping their antics mostly out of sight and mind of the more dignified instructors. Second, he does have a rather decrepit appearing small ship which he is usually happy to use for shuttling students and instructors around the system on the infrequent times it is needed. And, third because Nor is genuinely likeable guy who does not let many things rile him up nor try to upset others. Thus, he was a relatively better choice than whomever else those experimentalists would try to nominate next - if the selection committee passed Nor by to fill the slot.
As stated, Nor is mildly experimentalist by nature. He is all for planning for long range things such as training. But to him that implies each plan must be adopted to fit the student to assure the best outcomes (boy'oh, now is there is teacher talk or what?). His experimentation ends with dark side though. Here he is wary to delve deep into such lore, as he does not trust Sith path. And, he won't teach it to his pupils (especially his pupils, whom are all a bit of misfits!) at all, as he feels they are not ready to make the judgement about the the costs of following this path.
Nor tends to break the mold on propriety though, even in these more relaxed times. Oddly for a Jedi and a self professed ship tech-geek, he actually likes socializing and indulging a fair bit. He is not adverse to drink, parties or practical jokes. And, is quite fond of the opposite sex as well. Needless to say rumor swirls around his behavior at times, although it is usually proven to be nothing more than exaggerration. Still, some of the more far out rumors include that he won his ship by gambling and boozing for three straight days. That he is the father of more than 20 children in the galaxy, some of whom were with women not even of the same species! And, that he is on the run from the law/debts/ex wives/jilted lovers (you choose) and so is here teaching, waiting until the heat dies down.
Quotes:
He smiles as if telling a joke and says, “Sorry I am late. I met a <X> and we did <Y> and I forgot about the time...” Where X and Y are obvious fabrications...
“Being good is fine, but being lucky is sometimes better.”
Special ability?:
Ideally, something with luck, like a re-roll skill/ability or some such
Currently Nor has 4 (problem) students:
student 1) A spoiled scion of a famous family who actually tries pretty hard to learn the ways of a jedi - or he would be out regardless of his family's connections. . . But, whose attitudes end up getting in the way and alienating others as often as not.
student 2) A shy force user whose mastery of the force has been much slower than his/her fellows, with the associated feelings of insecurity and lack of confidence building inside themselves
student 3) A pessimist who is very bright, but has both a bit of a sarcastic mouth and philosophical bent
student 4) A strong force user, but someone who rarely thinks ahead about what they are doing and sometimes make situations worse because of it
