Faction: Jedi
Rank: Knight Guardian
Bio: -Early Childhood-
James' parents were middle class citizens of Coruscant, his father, Christopher Talen was a solder for most of his life, and his mother, Shera Talen ran a small goods store. Shortly after James was born a local crime lord sent a bounty hunter to collect on a loan that Shera took out for her store but they didn't have the money to pay it and the bounty hunter killed them but before being killed Shera hid James in the ally behind the house in hope that someone would find him and take care of him, this is where the young girl Tera found him and took him in to their group. James of course does not remember his parents or even if he was born on Coruscant, he believes that his parents were killed when he was very young, but it is widely rumored that his parents just abandoned his. He was taken in by a group of youths from similar situations weather they were abandon or ran away. James made many friends especially an older girl and leader of the group named Tera, while there James learned and became quite good in hand-to-hand combat. The group did what was necessary to survive, At the age of 5 he and Tera were out getting supplies for the group when they came across a very dangerous thief called Fist who caught the two trying to steal the supplies they needed from him. Fist attack the two with his viboblade the two defended themselves but Fist was more skilled in combat then James or Tera, Fist quickly over whelmed the two and prepared to deliver the finale blow to Tera when James using reflexes only a force sensitive would have he got in front of the blow and got his signature scar on his left eye, this caught Fist off guard and gave James the time he need to disarm Fist. Fist then decided to leave before the authorities arrived. A few days later James ran in to Jedi Master Alexander Greyhelm who was looking for a force sensitive child in the area, immediately he sense a great amount of the force with James, Greyhelm then tried to convince James to come with him to the Jedi Temple to be trained as a Jedi, James was reluctant at first but after encouragement from Tera who explained that he would have a better life as a Jedi then he would there, so James decided to go with Greyhelm and begin a new life at the Jedi Academy.
-Life as a Youngling-
Once at the academy James dedicated himself to learning the ways of the force and what it meant to be a Jedi. He soon felt at home and he gained many friends among the other younglings. He quickly got the hang of Shii-Cho and he would spar often with his friends and the other younglings, he demonstrated an unrivaled intensity in combat that gave him an edge over his opponent, if he wasn't sparing he was studying the history of the Jedi and he would often meditate on what he learned. Master Greyhelm often kept an eye on James because he had already decided that when he felt James was ready he would take him as his padawan learner. James would often wonder about his friends from his childhood which felt like it was a very long time ago he know that attachment was forbidden but he couldn't help but feel attached to Tera after all it was her who took him in when he was lost. Sometime James' intensity in combat would get him in trouble but it was never really enough to warrant more then a scolding from one of the masters. At age 12 Master Alexander Greyhelm took James as his padawan.
-Trial of Skill-
After becoming Master Greyhelm's padawan the bond that is formed between a master and padawan formed quickly between them Greyhelm was like the father James had never know. James practiced the Ataru and Shien/Djem So forms, he also focused in the body force-sensitive abilities to help the uses of the Ataru form. Like when he was a youngling he wanted to learn all he could and he was open to all of his masters teaching. The first few missions Greyhelm took James on were diplomatic ones, then when James was 15 the two were sent to find and capture if possible a Fallen Jedi that was believed to be hiding on Tatooine, it took them many weeks to find the cave deep in the Dune Sea where the fallen Jedi was hiding, when they entered the cave the fallen Jedi immediately attacked the two, James and Greyhelm made for a powerful team, seeing he was out match the fallen Jedi retreated deeper in to the cave James and Greyhelm fallowed but found that the cave was a maze so they decided to split up, James was the first to catch up to the Jedi at a small rear exit to the cave, thinking quickly James blocked the exit putting himself between the exit and the fallen Jedi, who drew his lightsaber and attacked and the duel began James saw anger and fear in the fallen Jedi's eye and this scared him. James' intensity in combat, combined with a moment's hesitation caused by guilt felt by the Fallen Jedi gave James the edge needed to disarm the fallen Jedi then he tried to convince him to come back to the light, James felt he almost had the fallen Jedi convinced when Greyhelm finale caught up the fallen Jedi used the force to knock James out of his way and he fled. James would always remember what he saw in the fallen Jedi's eyes. James meditated on what had happened in the fight and how a momentary laps in his concentration had aloud his opponent to escape though his meditation he came to understand that other then the fallen Jedi getting away, he had disarmed the fallen Jedi and nearly convinced him to come back to the light so all in all it was a victory.
-Trial of Spirit-
Toward the end of his training James had a vision while he was sleeping, in the vision he went to the place where he hung out with his childhood friends, when he found the old hideout he was told by a few new kids who now called the place home that the thief Fist had come back looking for James and Tera to get payback for the humiliation he suffered by losing to them all those years ago and that he had killed Tera, this angered James who went looking for Fist, through asking around the slums and many tedious interrogations he found out that Fist was hiding in his Coruscant hideout, James felt that Fist was hiding right under his nose, when he got to the hideout he confronted Fist, the two fought but because of James training he was better and quickly disarmed Fist and held his blade to Fist throat but before he delivered the finale blow he saw the face of the fallen Jedi and the anger and fear that were in his' eyes and James calmed down and decided to turn Fist over to the authorities. After this vision James meditated an what had happened in it, but not satisfied by just his meditation he went to Master Greyhelm and explained what had happened in his vision. Master Greyhelm explained that he should remember that the temptation of the dark side is always present and that he was strong enough to fight it this time but to keep in mind that he will face it again in the future, and as far as losing his childhood friend he explained that losing ones friends is always hard but he shouldn't mourn for his friend because such thoughts could led to the dark side and that he should be happy for his friend who had become one with the force. After meditating on this James decided to become stronger so that he would be ready if it ever trully happened.
-Trials of Courage and Flesh-
After the vision of Fist, James trained harder and dedicated himself further to the Order and the force in hopes that he would be able to prevent a similar situation form happening. Master Greyhelm was proud of James for having pushed himself to being as good a Jedi as he could be. Later they received orders to find and if at all possible capture a powerful and extremely dangerous Dark Jedi, he was far more powerful then the fallen Jedi that James had faced on Tatooine but he was stronger now then he was back then, but he know better then to be overconfident, if the Council and Master Greyhelm said the dark Jedi was powerful then James know that this would be tough. They found the Dark Jedi on Felucia and when the two Jedi confronted him he attacked with speed and power, the battle was intense but James was just able to keep up with Greyhelm and the Dark Jedi until the Dark Jedi Knocked James out of the way, then turns the full force of his assault on Greyhelm and though the use of some dirty fighting he dealt a fatal blow to Greyhelm. Now down to one opponent the Dark Jedi turned his attention back to James, the dark Jedi knew he was more powerful then James and as such underestimated him because of this James' intensity got the better of the dark Jedi, and faced with no other option James used the Mou Kei technique to end the duel. He then went to his master's side where he told James his last words then dies, James then returned to the Jedi Temple, and on the night of his master's funeral James is made a Jedi Knight at 22
-Looking to the Future-
Having been knighted James continues to study the force and continues his training in the Ataru form and the Shien/Djem So form. He hope that someday he will be as good a mentor to a padawan as his master was to him. James also kept his masters lightsaber but he removed the cyan color crystal from the lightsaber and put the crystal in his own lightsaber, he kepts the hilt from his master old lightsaber on his person in honor of his master.

He had promised himself that he would become stronger so that never happened again but now it had he had failed You just need more power you must gain it by any means necessary, feed on you anger, on your loss let it consume you it will make you stronger says a voice. yes that is what I will do gain power by any means he though to himself That is the dark side talking you must not let it win, you are stronger then that, if you let it consume you then you will have truly lost Said his masters voice but I must become stronger no mater the cost Then he saw the image of the Fallen Jedi he fought on Tatooine and the anger and the fear in his eyes that scared him so much.
