Biography: Raised on the prestigious Core World of Rydonni Prime by a pair of bankers, Tellen had a relatively privileged childhood. After being raised in what his parents would describe as a fairly stable household, in the vast Rehem City that covers half the planet. This modestly idyllic childhood was cut short by his entrance into the Jedi Order, found by Jedi Master Tuhdar. Although he was considered to have a relatively average connection to the Force, he was an intelligent boy, with a creative and perceptive mind.
Tuhdar handed the boy over to the care of the Jedi Order and spent years studying the ways of the Force. Considered a good student with potential - but not vastly special - Tellen worked hard in his classes and still managed to impress his tutors somewhat with his inquisitive nature.
Tellen's minor accomplishments but dedicated study in the Jedi Order allowed him to progress through his training at a comfortable pace. He was noted for his enthusiastic study of the tenets of the Jedi Code, their philosophies and meaning, their application and practical use. His successes and foresights in seeking the intended path his teachers set for him in his trials outweighed his modest performances in tasks where other, more powerful Jedi succeeded. The Order attempted to gain a strong hold on Tellen during his time under the Jedi, keen to have a promising investigator in thier ranks, as the political wrestling of the satellite Jedi academies fought over new Jedi Initiates. At the age of 24, Tellen was inducted into the rank of Jedi Knight, as Jedi Sentinel.
After participating in a risky boarding of a stray Mandalorian vessel, Tellen's starfighter was shot down in orbit of the planet Talus, and Tellen was forced to bale out without a parachute. He was able to break his fall with the Force but the velocity at which he was travelling was enough to break a few of his ribs. He sat for a while nurturing his wounds with the Force, when he sensed the evacuated Mandalorian remnants tracking him. In no fit state to fight, he fled the crash site as fast as a man with broken ribs could, and came upon a strange building. It opened up for him - and only him, not the Mandalorians - and sealed behind him. It was a fully-fleged but cleverly disguised Jedi Enclave. Puzzled, he activated a holocron found in the center and realised that it was identical to his anscestor's, Halber Lepras. It told him of a group that had long been in creation named "The Fillorean Society" that would only be activated by several people in leadership positions in the Republic.
Astounded, Tellen researched the Society and found that the trail lead him to a group of Senators with strong political views, headed by Sergei Meranov, coincidentally, the Senator for Talus. There, he found his powerbase. After meeting with Senator Meranov and his fellow senators supporting the Bill of Reopening, the group pledged financial support to discovering and supporting the currently active "Fillorean Society." Tellen and Sergei deliberately touted their whereabouts by broadcasting an encoded message over the Holonet, until they were approached by a Sophic Council member, who offered them positions as Hands Of The Council.
Questionnaire
• What is your character’s name? Does the character have a nickname? Tellen curls his lip at frivolous things such as nicknames, and prefers to keep a cold distance from even his closest trusted friends and advisors.
• What is your character’s hair color? Eye color? Silver, with green eyes.
• What kind of distinguishing facial features does your character have? His face is long, almost pointed, and he has restless darting eyes.
• Does your character have a birthmark? Where is it? What about scars? How did he get them? Scars frequent his body in occaisional places. He has slightly dark skin, olive green, customary to the Mirialan species. Typical Mirialan tattoos dot his face, occaisionally underlined by some scarring around his temples and cheek, running into additional cybernetic augmentation that juts from the side of his forehead.
• Who are your character’s friends and family? Who does she surround herself with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who does he wish he were closest to? His Mother is alive and well. His father died some years ago of natural causes. Even for a Jedi, Tellen pays little or no attention to his mother's whereabouts or state of health.
Tellen regards personal attachments and familiarities as weak links in an otherwise secure chain, and has formed few real friends in his travels. Allegiances and loyalties exist, however, and he is familiar with Sergei Meranov, Luchenco, Cerin Jaica, Miacah Levitts, Banol Jen'Sarai and other Fillorean recruits.
• Where was your character born? Where has she lived since then? Where does she call home? He was born on 37th Colonial Plaza, Rydonni Prime. He since lived in the Jedi Temple on Tython until he was 19, where he lived on Kriph'An moon until he was 22, then travelled back to Tython. After he discovered the existance of the Fillorean Society, he acquired a transport ship stowed there, which he used as his mobile base of residence. Afterwards, he used the Sophic Quaters at the Fillorean Society as his main base, along with The Viridian as his own mobile residence.
• Where does your character go when he’s angry? It is rare for Tellen to feel angry, partly as his allegiance to the Jedi Code, and partly because of his innately cool and collected nature. Even in times of stress, he is usually motivated to complete his current task further, meaning that Tellen's likely whereabouts during times of adversity is focussing in on his work.
• What is her biggest fear? Who has she told this to? Who would she never tell this to? Why? The Death of the Republic. Tellen does not admit to anything about himself and prefers to remain as anonymous as possible in the eyes of everyone else.
• Does she have a secret? Tellen is not known for sharing secrets.
• What makes your character laugh out loud? A good joke from a companion or ally can often be warmly received, although it is ambiguous as to whether Tellen is sincerely amused or not.
• When has your character been in love? Had a broken heart? Tellen has learnt to control the emotion of love and considers most aspects of relationships as waste of time.
