[Video] Egret 24 ~ Train Council
I found out awhile ago I was nominated and I... have been struggling to figure out how to address this. I'm worried that I may have been nominated because of who certain individuals may think I am.
[ Luke paused, glancing away and biting his lip; it is entirely obvious that he's very nervous. It takes him a moment to look back, taking a deep breath before he plowed on. ]
My name is Luke Skywalker; I'm the son of Lord Vader, who was here previously. In my version of home, I am the commander of his Black Squadron, and... if my father has anything to say about it, the heir to the Imperial Throne.
[ He hesitated again, looking down as he fidgeted with his hands, taking another deep breath. ]
There are a lot of things I'm not that others have expected me to be, so I'll speak as to what I am and my experience. At eleven, I was enrolled at the Prefsbelt Imperial Academy, for pilot and officer training. I graduated at nineteen, and was promoted to commander in the middle of a battle to defend the Destroyer I was stationed on. I have been in three dogfights, and I was in the middle of an on going mission to usurp the current Emperor before coming here.
I grew up in a galaxy where the Emperor's word was absolute; where if you had the money and the favor, you could get whatever you wanted. It's not... a pleasant place at my point in time. My father and I, as well as a team of others, have been doing what we could to make things better, with myself taking point in attempts to gather allies.
I don't know how that will translate to being on train council. I admit, my diplomatic abilities are... lacking, as recent events have made evident. I'm doing what I can as a Purple team lead, but I know there's much I still have to learn. If I'm chosen, I will do my best to step up and learn from all of you, so I may serve you as best I can.

In-Person
I'm sorry that others have you worried. I can't speak for what they might know, because I've only known you. From all I can tell, you have a good heart--and I'm honored and grateful to be on your side and team. I...also trust you, in a way I trust very few without a lot of time.
[Head ducking into her cowl in a bit of shyness.]
Someone nominated me for Council too, and whether I'm on it or not--if you need someone to listen, and to talk things out with, I'll do what I can to be there for you.

Thank you; I appreciate the voice of confidence.
[ He pressed a hand to his heard, inclining his head respectfully. ]
I wish you the best of luck as well.
