Protector James Roberts-Brannigan is currently serving as an active member of Independent House Revan.
Character History
Childhood and Early Life
James Singleton Roberts-Brannigan was born in a family of soldiers to John Solomon and Carrie Anne Roberts-Brannigan. His maternal grandfather was a Jedi who escaped Order 66 by staging his death a year before to have a relationship with a Coruscanti soldier he had grown fond of during their time on the battlefield. His mother would be the third child, being born six years later. His parents ran around in the same crowd as teenagers and would marry later on. His father came from a family of soldiers and followed suit by joining the Imperial Remnant. He then married the love of his life and the two began a family, James the fourth child, being born in 13 ABY.
He grew up with 4 brothers and a sister, three who followed their father's footsteps and became soldiers. When he was a child, he discovered that he had an amazing gift. He could push things away and pull things towards him by thinking it. During a short leave from his unit after returning from a tour in the field, his father took James to the theatre to watch a holodrama. After they left the theatre and the shop to buy his mother a bouquet of flowers, the two were surrounded by a group of muggers. Believing the life of his son was in danger, John Solomon Roberts-Brannigan killed two of the criminals, but not before being stabbed. James witnessed the death of his father to a sucking chest wound, a event which would push him to study the secrets of Jedi Healing later on.
His mother sent him away to the Brotherhood, after the death of his father, knowing he would make something of himself as a Jedi. It took a few weeks for the feelings of homesickness to go away, something that James held against his mother for a number of years before he realized that she was trying to give him a better life and forgave her. He would spend the next 15 years at the Academy learning and maturing into a young man. While at the Academy, he met one of the most important influences over his development. Master Eliza Caldari was a teacher who took personal interest in him and taught him how to fight with the quarterstaff. She also paved the way for him to enter the Order of the Krath. James would excelled in the quarterstaff and the rifle while at the Academy. Eliza Caldari served as James's surrogate mother, mentoring him from 20 ABY up to her disappearance in 35 ABY.
Eliza Caldari His final trial before completing his studies at the Academy was to find and rescue Master Eliza Caldari. Master Caldari had went in search of a force anomaly called the Abakan. James found her a few days after being assigned the mission. Eliza Caldari had found and defeated the Abakan, being transformed into the new Abakan. She was no longer the mentor he knew and loved, but a cold hearted force anomaly. He survived his encounter, reluctantly refusing the Abakan's enticements with promises of changing his past and his future, before being "tagged" in the form of a tattoo on his right pectoral that glows blue and flares up whenever he is near a force hotspot. He recovered her double lightsaber and keeps it mounted on his wall in respect and remembrance of Master Caldari. After informing his Academy adviser that he had found Master Caldari and had been unable to retrieve her, James was informed that he had passed his trials and was being posted to one of the more secretive houses in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Independent House Revan.
Independent House Revan
James would report to the Quaestor, Eiko Lanzer, a few weeks later. He worked hard in developing himself as a good, dependable Journeyman. Having completed the requirements for Protector, he was approached by Eiko and accepted his offer to become his apprentice. He can be found within eyesight of his Master generally.

Possessions
Quarterstaff
The wooden quarterstaff was the first weapon that James mastered during his time in the Academy. He kept the quarterstaff that was given to him as a teenager by Master Eliza Caldari as a gift and placed it on the wall of his quarters above his bed. It is his most familiar weapon and one that he uses in training, preferring the whack of wood over the zap of an electro staff while teaching those who want to learn the art of the staff weapon.
Eliza Caldari's Saberstaff
A reminder of his beloved mentor, he retrieved this during his Academy Trials.
DLT-20A
James found a factory new DLT-20A for sale on Antei and bought it. He cut off six inches from the front of the DLT-20A as well as replaced the power source and built a quad fire selector system on the rifle. The result was a carbine that could fired weaker bolts as fast as a blaster rifle or more powerful bolts of a long rifle as well as a stun setting and a ion setting. The carbine was accurate up to 200 meters. The state of the art power source allowed him to fire up to 600 blaster bolts or 120 sniper bolts (where 30 had been the norm before the modification). After firing almost 20,000 rounds, he had fixed all the kinks to the factory new rifle and considered it his masterpiece.
