1. How did you discover your force sensitivity?
Well a child is often curious about gifts, while I may not be the greatest paragon of control now, as a child prior to training I was understandably even less so. When I exclaimed that I was finally receiving the toy blaster they had bought…before opening the box. Soon enough I was sent to the order as is the way of things. Of course once I was back and the war over I returned, my family was thankful I survived, so many had not under the Empire.
2. Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness or experienced a tragedy/horror that still haunts you.
There were the Clone Wars and being strong or capable enough in the force to save my master or the squad she lead, then the Galactic Civil War. But something I have long struggled with honing my capacity to ascertain the truth and apply justice in a timely manner. Sometimes it's a simple thing, a mugging or murder, yet sometimes there is justification, it may not make a crime right, but crimes of desperation are the most forgivable I find. The old order had far too much focus on proceedings and the supposed wisdom of lethargy, though we must also be watchful of meting out punishment without investigation.
3. How did you come to join the NJO?
Though I may be in the middle of my life and have misgivings about the old order, there is a possibility to the Jedi that I cannot shy away from. I must gather what has been lost and share what I had been taught before the fall so future generations of the Jedi may be prepared to protect the galaxy. Besides, even the old masters still worked to help the Jedi and the order farther along in their lives than I.
4. Name one NPC your character has a strong connection with. This could be a family member, a friend, a work contact, or a bitter rival.
Jedi Master K’Kruhk, fellow survivor of the old order, also scary looking but very nice.
5. [Optional] Describe a pivotal moment in your life where you demonstrated your moral strength despite adversity.

Nearly a lifetime ago Irt Raal had recently constructed his first full lightsaber and been assigned to the togruta Master Dorsha. He was excited to go and make a difference in the universe, however a manufactured war for manufactured soldiers broke out. The last mission of the Clone Wars he was involved in was to prevent a mining operation on some uninhabited jungle planet. Once there it became apparent that the site to be mined was somehow related to the force and contained some unique species. With minimal time, Master Dorsha mounted a sabotage mission with only Irt and the clone squad under her. The offensive was short, effective, and bloody. When it came to destroying the drill Irt chose to sacrifice his lightsaber rather than allow the drill to punch through. As the dust cleared the republic had won but only a padawan lacking a lightsaber and any way back home was left.

Mystery: other force traditions/lost jedi lore

Justice/weakness
There's some trouble for Irt on making the right snap decisions, it's kind of a Kel Dor thing.

Duty(5): Knowledge Acquisition – When the Emperor destroyed the old Jedi Order and defiled the Jedi Temple, thousands of years of accumulated Jedi knowledge was lost. Grand Master Skywalker has dedicated an immense amount of effort and resources to reacquire this knowledge – from personal journals of lost, great Jedi Masters to holocrons and teaching holograms found from scouring the black markets of the galaxy, this PC has thrown himself fully at the task of ensuring that future generations of Jedi do not have the dearth of knowledge the New Jedi Order finds itself with.

At 56 years old Irt has been through parts of two wars and a couple decades on a hostile jungle planet. While his reflexes remain able, Kel Dor are rarely physically powerful and age does not help in the matter. At least his time in the wilds has kept him fit into middle age, though left minimal time to improve his powers. Time, mechanical work, and meditation on the planet has gifted him considerable patience as well as a few quirks involving an inoperable clone helmet.

Notable features: Mostly old, minor scarring and burns across the face and body, tends toward fashionable but practical clothing, more practical than prior to the Clone Wars. Loves sashes and half-capes.
