n/a
PERSONALITY:
He is usually calm and confident in himself and his allies, Valin however feels strongly for those he fights with, respecting hugely anybody who would risk their life alongside himself. He also has a huge amount of respect for the Jedi more skilled than himself and those who can give up attachments easier than himself, howeer this can sometimes lead him to envy. Despite his calm outlook, when loved ones are in danger he is quick to anger and is a Jedi who needs to master his rage in those circumstances. Patience is a virtue he possesses, although he can become frustrated when his patience does not seem to pay off in any respect, for instance if he is waiting a long time for a decision that in the end is not in his favour he can be quick to anger.
HISTORY:
Born to a Coruscanti woman in the lower cities of the planet, for his early life he mixed in fairly unsavoury circles. His father is unknown to him, having deserted his mother whilst she was pregnant. Until he turned three, he spent most days with his mother, her friends and their children, of varying backgrounds. His mother taught him basic, but many of his friends came from other races, including a Twi'lek, a Rodian and Devonarian, aiding him in learning new dialects and parts of languages. By chance (or the will of the Force, if you believe in such things), he was discovered by a young Jedi Knight, who was part of a diplomatic party on Coruscant and was scouting the lower areas; the Knight took him to Dantooine for training.
Through his early years as a Jedi Youngling, he learned the very basics of the Force and became one of the most proficient lightsaber wielders of his class. At the age of twelve, as was the custom, he was taken by a Jedi Knight for training at a higher level and was thusly elevated to the rank of Padawan (Apprentice). For years they travelled to various strange and interesting places of the galaxy, Valin progressing well. At the age of fifteen he constructed his first lightsaber, spending many days of care and proficiency to be proud when he held it before his master, its gleaming blue blade gently humming. But on the seventh year of their coupling, the Force was to take them down a dangerous path.
Valin's master, a proficient Knight and a Master of the force in all but name, sure to be promoted after Valin's eventual trials at the latest, grew apart from the council. On more than one occaision they did not agree with his views and plans. After a routine scouting mission, he reported he had noticed some strange activity through the Force on Nar Shadaa. The council gave him a chance to redeem himself by successfully investigating it. He took Valin in a Republic Freighter to the world of the galaxy's scum and villains. Splitting up with his capable apprentice, they investigated various areas of the spaceport. What happened to his master, Valin did not discover, but when he was over an hour late meeting his apprentice he went to search for him. In a dank alley behind a backstreet club, he found the charred and bloody remains of the closest thing he had ever had to a father. As he reached down to close his master's eyes, still open. He was about to pick up his body when his enemy struck. A warrior, he guessed a bounty hunter, clad from head to toe in armour, fired shot after shot at him. As he reach for his lightsaber and dived forwards, the assassin threw a grenade. It exploded and in that flash, his assailant was gone. When he managed to stand up, hurt, he reached for his lightsaber to find its casing shattered. He gathered up what parts of it he could and returned to his master's body. With barely enought strength to stand, and a tear in his eye, he took his master's belt, clipping his lightsaber to his own belt and quickly set light to his master's body. He allowed his master to be cremated at the scene of his death as he staggered, as fast as he could, to their ship. When he got onboard he managed to whisper to T4-N3 to take him to Dantooine before he collapsed on the floor.
Now his ship, piloted by his master's droid, flies back into safe space, to the Jedi Academy, very much alive, with news of his master's death...
