BIOGRAPHY:
Warren was born a happy, healthy boy on Selonia, but his birth and childhood were not like almost anyone else in the galaxy. It was not celebrated that the pup was born a boy, in fact it just made him a number. One of few males born. It predetermined his destiny, set him in stone as a prize. Selonians are a matriarchal society, with each den having one fertile female- a queen, and her collection of fertile males. They were seen less as civilization savers and more as livestock, meant to keep the den populated.
There was no sense of self in the dens, so Warren was born without any sort of name, he likely wouldn't have a name among his people for years if not longer. The entire species operated more along the lines of insects and their hives than mammals and their ilk. It was considered best for the self if it was best for the den. So early on, Warren learned skills that helped the den, including hunting, digging, and diving among the first. When he started showing signs at an early age of being Force sensitive, the den didn't know how to react.
The Selonian race had not been devoid of Jedi in their history, but they were exceedingly rare, and it was seen more as a mysticism rather than a religion rooted in reality, but living so close to Coruscant and Corellia, they had experienced the Force first hand more often than they would like. The Queen, in her wisdom, saw the opportunity to get in front of something this time. They knew that a war was coming to the core, and if they could use their own to get a jump on it they would do it.
They contacted the Jedi when Warren was around fourteen, giving him enough time to come of age among his own people. They would never allow him to be raised by the others, it would make him not one of them. The Jedi came and made their way through the tunnels that wound through the ocean filled planet. When they arrived their translator droid had a hard time getting answers out of the Queen when asked what the boy's name was, and the Queen had a hard time explaining that they didn't have much use for names, especially for the boys.
They took the boy anyways, making their way through the same warrens they came through, noting the Narrow passages that lead from the main den to the entrance they had used. They referred to this warren multiple times in front of the young Selonian, so when they got to Corellia and made contact with the other Jedi, they asked the boy his name, and unable to understand anything, he said the one word that he had heard them repeat, the word that reminded him of home, "Warren."
He was swiftly taken under the tutelage of Master Abarosis and trained in the ways of the Jedi. His master recently passed on, and Warren is looking for more training while also mourning his previous master.
