He doesn’t have time for any whining or complaining, and almost never jokes or fools around, he is far too busy for that! Like a chiding father he is always getting on others to make sure they have finished their duties and not to slack off or shirk their responsibilities. He is neat and orderly and likes the world to be that way as well. Jan Dar also Despises the gungan stereotype and will give you a stern lecturing about how wrong it is! If he doesn’t just deck you in the face for your racist stereotyping. He can be made to open up, especially if you keep the corellian brandy flowing, but otherwise is a by the books kind of guy. He can keep his growing annoyance or exasperation in check if he is negotiating with outsiders, but has a little more trouble keeping the glares and sighs at bay with those he is familiar with. He cares for those around him, just in his own special way. What some may see as ridicule or chiding he sees as doting.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>History:</strong> </span><br/>Jan Dar Jokimbo has had to struggle upstream against raging rapids his entire life. The galaxy has never paid much mind to the gungans and has always seen them as a simple or primitive people despite all the evidence to the contrary. Wishing to rise above this prejudice Jan Dar set out at an early age to prove a gungan can amount to just as much as all the other races could. Throwing himself into his studies Jan Dar was top of his class all throughout his schooling and was one of very few gungans to venture into Theed and join its university. Here Jan Dar found his love of languages, wanting to learn as many of them as he could to communicate with and learn from as much of the galaxy as possible. By the time he graduated he knew so many languages that others took to calling him an organic protocol droid. But Jan Dar put his skills to good use. As soon as he had graduated the Confederacy of Independent Systems threw the galaxy into chaos and plunged it into the galactic civil war. Jan Dar joined the Grand Army of the Republic and fought in some of the early battles of the war. However his vast knowledge of languages and customs came in handy and he was often put in charge of leading insurgent groups on separatist planets and assisting in getting them armed and backed by republic forces.<br/><br/>But when the conflict came to an end all of Jan Dar’s achievements accounted for poodoo when Sheev Palpatine, the senator from his own world, became the emperor. His xenophobic empire squashed the gungans of his home world and ruined the name of Naboo for the rest of the galaxy. But Jan Dar would have none of it. Trying to spur his people to rebellion proved fruitless so the gungan veteran took off into the stars to find a way he could stop this horrible empire from hurting his people and their name across the galaxy in whatever ways he could. He quickly met up with a small resistance group and through them eventually joined the rebellion proper. With his experience in the clone wars and his determination to prove to all the galaxy that a gungan could be more than just a slang talking buffoon from the oceans of Naboo Jan Dar sought to put an end to the empire and it’s evil emperor.<br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Specializations:</strong> </span><br/>*1st: Languages, customs, translation, and negotiations: Jan Dar LOVES learning a new language, and the culture and customs that go along with it. The man is fluent in nearly 30 languages and can get by in dozens of others. He is a breathing, organic, protocol droid and he is proud of that. And with so many languages and customs known Jan Dar knows how to talk to people as well. He can convince them what they need to do and can help smooth out disputes with his words much better than with violence.<br/>*2nd: infiltration and recon: all his time spent behind enemy lines trying to inspire rebellion on Separatist held worlds honed Jan Dar’s skills in getting into and around somewhere unseen and unheard. This was especially important being that a gungan would stick out like a sore thumb on many worlds. Jan Dar can get in and out without anyone knowing he was there.<br/>*3rd: piloting: While serving on the Army of the Republic he learned how to fly fighters and small shuttles. He even managed a light freighter or two in order to smuggle himself behind enemy lines. Jan Dar May not be the best pilot out there but he is one you wouldn’t mind having as your wing man.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Character Flaws:</strong></span><br/>Haughty: Jan Dar has worked so hard to prove he is better than people think he is that he believes he is better, or at least smarter than most people. This is a trait he has trouble turning off and so comes across as rude and like he is looking down his nose at you, most likely because he probably is.<br/>Low tolerance for ignorance: Jan Dar has trouble working with slackers and the blissfully ignorant. He cannot wrap his head around not wanting to always learn new things and improve what you know. He has trouble tolerating people that are simply content exactly where they are.<br/>Low empathy: He has trouble empathizing with others. He has struggled so hard to get to where he is and survived and he has difficulty understanding that others might not have his fortitude.<br/><br/><strong>Other Info:</strong>Jan Dar can most often be seen pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation at the sheer stupidity of absurdity of the people around him. Surely everyone who has worked with him has experienced his particular type of charm.
