Educator

Shaping young minds, bringing knowledge of the past to the present, extending cultural bubbles; this is the realm of the educator. To seek knowledge of their own is but a first step, in preparation for passing it on. They don’t do the research themselves, but combine existing knowledge into digestible tomes, finding ways for ancient to become new, bringing the light of information into as many hearts and minds as possible, for willing ignorance is truly the path to darkness.

Suggested Characteristics

 Educators are shaped by their passions for their subject, students, and the future. Some teach extremely broadly, others have an intense focus on one area of advanced study. 

d8	Personality Trait
1	The educators who taught me as a child have made a profound impact on my life. It is a debt I must repay.
2	I constantly thirst for more knowledge, and can’t help but spread it to those around me.
3	I was a lonely child, who felt no one cared about me. I aim to keep anyone else from feeling that.
4	Young minds are the future. By molding them, I will shape this world.
5	I quote (or misquote) literary passages at every opportunity. The wisest words come from others.
6	Punishing ill-behaving students is the only modicum of power left in my life.
7	The time in my life I loved the most was when I was learning among the youth. I never want to leave.
8	It’s not so much the bright-eyed students that I like as much as it is admiration from the community for being a learned person.

d6	Ideal
1	Order. It isn’t just book learning that I teach, but also discipline. (Lawful)
2	Community. Sometimes, my students feel alone and unwanted, and I make sure they know they’re not forgotten. (Good)
3	Critical thinking. If we accept things like mindless sheep, the world will never improve. (Chaotic)
4	Influence. The world follows what it has been taught to follow, and I intend to make sure they act how I think is right. (Evil)
5	Knowledge. Learning for its own sake is a beautiful thing, and facts have no agenda. (Neutral)
6	Self-discovery. Not everyone knows what they aspire to be. By providing tidbits, I can help set people on their path. (Any)

d6	Bond
1	I may not have biological children, but I’m a parental figure to hundreds.
2	I will relive the best years of my life by joining the fun my students enjoy.
3	My community is great, and we can only become greater through learning.
4	I love tutoring future leaders of this world, to make them the best they can be.
5	My friendships with other people in my field of knowledge make me feel like I belong.
6	Older books need to update with the times. The youth understands what needs to be changed far more than the elders.

d6	Flaw
1	I would much rather take the easiest way out of a situation, even if it leads to complications later.
2	I can’t stand up for myself when my order’s leaders make changes I disagree with.
3	Teaching is great, but I weary of disrespectful students, and I no longer care what happens to the miscreants.
4	I have taught the same subject for a very long time, and adding new material is a waste of my time.
5	I tend to punish my students too harshly for disorderly conduct.
6	I get angry when I have to explain something a second time.
