Personality



Bold, confident, level headed, and a bit of a gambler; Olan is what some would call reckless and others would call courageous. He isn't afraid to get mixed up in a fight but knows when to take a step back to evaluate a situation. In most situations, Olan will follow his instincts and training to see him through the day.


Olan doesn't let people get away with talking bad against him, or his friends. He is fiercely loyal to those he holds close which includes his fellow comrades in the Resistance. Olan knows people have their faults and will weigh his opinion of people on the whole person concept. Everybody makes mistakes, but what matters to him is what they do after making that mistake.


At times, due to his upbringing on an imperial space station, Olan can seem stuck up like an imperial officer but he usually tries to offset that with a bit of humor. He knows he can be difficult to deal with at times so he gives people space when he feels he may be overbearing or micromanaging other people to much.


History:


Olan was born onboard an imperial research space station located in the outer rim known as LNR-89. He was given an imperial academy style up bringing alongside other children either brought to the station or born there as he was. Funding for research soon began to drop, and the station gained funding by promising to do research for private industries. However, these private industries expanded the stations and slowly turned it into an ‘escape’ in the outer rims. The Empire all but forgot about LNR-89 and it soon became known as Rim City.


Olans’ parents tried to arrange for them to leave, but Imperial assassins intervened and murdered them. It turned out the station was forgotten but not the scientists; they didn’t want the rebellion getting their hands on them and had no further need for them. Luckily, Olan survived but was left to fend for himself at a young age on Rim City. Using what he learned from his parents, Olan managed to survive and make himself useful for various gangs that formed on the station. The young man had to learn many skills: Fighting (with and without blasters), hacking, spying, intelligence gathering, and working on machines (robots, space ships, etc.). Olan learned what ever he could to be useful.


When Olan was in his early 20s he discovered that he was force sensitive by accident. He was involved in a fight where his vibroblade was knocked from his hand. As he laid on the ground being beaten he reached out to the blade, and the blade came to his hand; allowing him to cut his attackers up and escape. He had heard the stories of the terrorists who tried assassinating the supreme counselor and the mystical force they wielded, the Force.


Olan gathered what information he could about the Jedi, even the things the Imperial academy didn’t teach him about history. It was then that he learned that the Empire was not as innocent as he was brought up to believe. Olan practiced his new-found power in secret, learning how to manipulate the force. When he’d learned all he could on his own, Olan knew he’d have to seek out a master one day.


With the collapse of the empire, a new Jedi order was established which allowed Olan to come out of hiding. He purchased an old YT-1760, The Mufasa, with credits he charmed from some gangsters using the force. He went to the new Jedi temple on Naboo. When he arrived on Naboo, he was evaluated by the Jedi and majority ruled that his past would complicate his relationship with the force and that training him would be dangerous.


Olan was angry but respected the Jedi’s’ decision. However, he wouldn’t except not learning more about the Force. Using all the skills he learned on Rim City, Olan managed to steal data files of force lessons and theory in order to further his study. Olan left Naboo and traveled the galaxy working as a smuggler while honing his abilities in the force and even constructing his own lightsaber.


Years later, when the still young Republic was destroyed and the Jedi order with it; Olan traveled to Scarif to join the resistance. The Jedi Order may have rejected him, but now the remaining Jedi had no choice but to teach Olan; if there was anything else he still had to learn.
