Early Life
Born into a family of wealth, Falcon Darsten lived in the jungle planet of Onderon. He was the only child to Mr & Mrs Darsten who lived in the higher life quality of the capital city Iziz. To Falcon's annoyance, he never managed to see much of the planet as he was always locked in the city behind large walls. In the early days of the planet this wall was built to prevent anyone from reaching the horrible and deadly creatures that lurked in the dense forests behind that wall. That, however, made Falcon even more eager to explore the forests that lay behind the fortified walls. Falcon had noticed the state his planet was in - having to have walls for protection, stuck in tribal combat etc. Falcon believed that the planet was unfair, unequal and not awfully strong. After learning about it more in depth at school, Falcon understood quite a lot of it had to do with political and military situations. Falcon began to study politics more in depth. He found to become quite fond of it but thought he'd need more experience. But he still wanted to serve Onderon.
Military Life
But at the age of 19, Falcon had no plans for politics to come into his life soon. Therefore Falcon signed up for the Royal Onderon Military in order to serve his planet. He wasn't particularly a naturally skilled soldier and was criticised many times because of that. His confidence grew slightly weaker but what kept him going was the fact he was still wanting to go out of the walls. Finally after 2 years of hard work training, a 21-year-old Falcon had become an official soldier. When he was 23, he took a year's break off from military training. Then he met his wife Bastilla. They had a son named Mark when they were both 24. Unfortunately, Bastilla died in childbirth. Falcon was still a soldier and whenever he was working his parents looked after Mark.
Falcon went out on many deployments fighting enemy tribes afterall Onderon is a very tribal planet. Having had several deployments and still not having explored the wilderness, Falcon become very annoyed. He barely had any patience but soon enough at the age of 28, he was deployed out onto the dense forests to clear out a deadly force of animals. He watched many teammates and friends be torn apart and killed brutally so he decided to fight back. He ended up just about managing to lead the rest of the squad to win that battle. However, Falcon was left mentally scarred and because of that resigned. He had suffered depression from experiencing such a horrific massacre and he couldn't be as happy as he was prior to military service. He also began thinking a lot more harshly and no matter how much he would've want to be, he had to accept he was stuck like this - never to be who he used to be. Soon after accepting that horrible truth, he was gradually being pulled to the man he is today.
Political Life
After returning to his family, Falcon was taken to a medical centre where he stayed for a few weeks due to his mental health. Whilst waiting on results for the test he took part in, he started reading books he collected as a kid to do with politics as it was someway he could continue to serve his planet. Gradually he became more understanding of politics and confirmed it certainly was what he wanted to do. Not long after, he finally received his results and, to his luck, he was just about fine to continue his life. However - he realised it himself - was told that he will never be the man prior to his experiences and as tough as it was to accept that, Falcon had to. After returning home, he finally started to speak out his views in local referendums and was eventually invited to the local council. There his political career kicked off.
After helping the council out up until he was 34, the government began to keep an eye on him. He was firm with his views, wanted what he thought was best but the only problem was that some of his views seemed slightly harsh. The government did have a long think about inviting him which took a few months. Eventually he was invited over to a governmental party that thought his mind was what was needed for a successful politician. For the next 6 years, he unfortunately never managed to lead his party to the top but to his luck, was soon enough invited to the Galactic Senate. Falcon couldn't turn down the offer and with barely any hesitation came to a conclusion to join.

[BEEBOX=90%]POLITICIAL VIEWS[/BEEBOX]
- "Defence is the NUMBER 1 priority in the Republic and nothing is more important than it after all without it people will die - innocent people..."
- "Peace can only be achieved by fighting for it. I did and look where I am now - away from war, secure and not having to worry about being in danger."
- "There is no excuse for murder, theft or any sort of terrorism! They must surrender and face a long, long time in prison. But if they do, for whatever mad reason, decide to fight back or run away they should be shot."
- "Without democracy the Republic will fall into the hands of evil."
- "We must put the people before us... after all we are doing this all for them! Not for us."
- "All soldiers are invaluable. We cannot afford to lose at least one if we can help it."
PERSONALITY
Falcon has been really shaped by his experiences in the military including being rather grumpy most of the time, easily angered and will always stand firmly by his decision. To some this can be aggravating but to some it can be respectable and something to look up to. Falcon also strongly believes in doing everything it takes to get rid of evil - even through risking their own lives. However, some of his views can cause problems.
Falcon is incredibly against crime and terrorism - especially when that caused him to lose fellow soldiers. He strongly believes that anyone who commits a serious crime (murder, theft etc.) deserves either a long prison sentence or death. Falcon also isn't afraid to speak what he thinks or know what others think of him. Outside of politics, Falcon isn't awfully social. He'll never start a conversation and never let a conversation last long either. If someone constantly tries to start conversations with him and irritates him a lot, he will most likely become angry and shove them away.
Falcon is fairly a sore loser. He is too used to winning due to how in his military days he never lost a battle and was considered a "great soldier". He doesn't like losing and finds it fairly hard to accept the loss. He is also incredibly loyal especially to Onderon (as can be seen in the recent Onderonion Invasion threads). He is willing to give his life for the right cause and is not afraid to stand up announce that - that is partially what has gotten him this far.
