[/ul]
5 FOOT 11 INCHES, & 157lbs.
STRIKING BLUE, & SNOW WHITE.
Niro doesn't really look like much of a Jedi or even a fighter from the outside. He is thin and kind of unassuming, with soft pale skin. However, he has strong, lean muscles, that have been built slim to his body. If one were to touch said muscles, they would feel something akin to marble, which is hardest around his calves, abs, and upper arms. This body is built for running and stamina, not brute force and power. His hair is pure white and spikes slightly. It is very long, as Niro let's it grow out longer and longer has he ages. If one were to see Niro day after day they would notice his eyes change color. They vary in shades and hues of blue, sometime getting so dark they become a pale or even stormy gray. However, a majority of the time his eyes are a shade of blue.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES:
Not surprisingly, Niro's most distinguishing feature is his white hair. He's had it since birth, and it's a completely natural color, free of dies and such. White hair and pale skin are some of the distinguishing traits of his race, the Echani. Niro likes to take care of it, cleaning it so it has a nice, soft silky touch. Another distinguishing feature is Niro's tattoo, which is a blood red color. It appears as a crude five underneath his left eye, goes over the eyelid, and becomes an inverted pentagram above. Niro got it to honor his species and to cover an old scar he obtained in early childhood.
CLOTHES:
Niro clothing reflects his role as a Jedi Shadow. His robes consist of a black long-sleeved hooded shirt, dark gray sleeveless arm wrappings, black trousers, dark gray leather calf braces, a dark gray hooded and sleeveless leather surcoat, and black leather shoes. A belt is wrapped around the waist, securing the longer parts of the surcoat, which extend in the back and front. The belt carries a variety of supplies, like a comlink, datapad, grappling hook and fiber cable, rebreather, and a few pouches for small items, like credits and stims. Built into the surcoat's front tails are holsters, one for each flap, that are used to hold Niro's lightsabers.

REMEMBERING,
WHEN YOU WERE MINE.
DISLIKES: people smarter than him, bitchy folk, people who think they're all that, posers, boisterous people, bragging, cooked tomatoes, cooked carrots, being outwitted, not expecting something (trap, ambush, etc), stupid people, men who think with their cocks, the obese, uber tall people.
HOBBIES: Smoking and chilling.
WANTS TO FIGHT: Sith Lords.
FAVORITE FOOD: Chips.
PERSONALITY: Niro leads a life of endurance; a natural born survivor, he adapts easily to most situations as they come and handling near anything despite the circumstances. This aspect of personality is a great thing for a Jedi to possess, for their jobs often put them on the front lines against highly-dangerous foes. Despite this, Niro is still a rather laid-back and fun loving individual; he is almost always seen with a light grin, and enjoys many activities like sports, smoking cigars, and reading. He is sociable and enjoys the company of others, and is known to be rather humorous.
Friends come easily to Niro, with his open and charismatic approach to peoples of all kinds, ally, rival, or otherwise. Relationships are easily made with jokes and wit, He values the lives and relationships of all his friends, despite how long he's known them, their abilities, and their origin. Because of this, he is as likely to make a friend out of a bounty hunter as he is to make one of another Jedi. Niro is also very blunt, a trait that often opens as well as closes doors for him. He never likes to bullshit or skirt around what he's trying to say or say, because he simply does not like that happening to him. He can seem a bit unemotional because of this, but the truth is that he does care genuinely for all. Niro is a natural flirt, hitting on quite possibly every attractive woman similar to his age, and receiving mixed results. He is usually good with the ladies and has had quite a few relationships in the past, though he rather enjoys and freedom of being single.
Niro has a competitive, never-back-down approach to life as well. Defiant to the end, he will never quit, no matter the odds or forces against him. He can be seen as reckless for this reason, charging into combat in an almost foolhardy manner. And yet it only seems like that, for Niro is ever planning and plotting. This also makes him seem very confident, or extremely overconfident. The truth is, Niro trusts himself and his abilities, but also knows his limits. In truth, he is actually not that overconfident, just prepared and ready to face anything, whether it be superior, inferior to him, or on his level. It must be stressed, that because of his raising and want to gain the respect and admiration that his father before him had, Niro will never, ever back down. After being knocked down, he will simply raise to be either beaten again or take the upper-hand in the fight. For this reason, he can be inspiring to his allies, often leading them straight into the midst of combat in high-risk and often suicidal charges.
Niro's defiance can also be a hindrance. His flippant actions can be seen as disrespectful by those who do not personally know or understand him. He enjoys pissing people off just as much as he likes pleasing people, using verbal taunts and gestures. An action almost characteristic of him is “flicking off” or sticking up his middle finger in an archaic “fuck you” gesture. Heavy sarcasm is also rather characteristic of him when fighting superior foes, so they slip up more and do not notice their mistakes. Niro himself is rather chill in most situations and prides himself in his ability not to be ticked off. Keeping his cool in a fight allows him to better combat situations and peoples. When Niro does get angered, be prepared, because shit just got real.

LIGHTSABER COMBAT: Niro, like all other Jedi, is trained in Form I: Shii-Cho, of lightsaber combat. He is proficient in it, but has moved on to other and more complex forms of lightsaber combat. Like Djem So/Shien, Form V. Of Shien, Niro is a high in skill, utilizing the rare reverse Shien lightsaber grip like his master did before him. He has also shown skill in Form VI: Niman/Jar Kai, fusing that with Shien and forming an erratic form of dual, backhanded lightsaber combat that has yet to be seen anywhere else in the galaxy. Niro also knows a few moves of Form VII: Juyo, and incorporates them into his fighting style, whether wielding one or two blades. In normal combat, he is better defended and attacks faster with two sabers, but can fight just fine, albeit with a little less skill, with one, because he has been using two for so long. His style focuses mainly on speed and attacking the enemy as much as possible, and less on strength then other Jedi.
FORCE ABILITIES: As a Jedi, Niro has learned and can use Core abilities like Force Jump, Force Push, and Force Pull. He concentrates heavily on telekinesis and Force powers like Force Grip and Force Whirlwind. He once plucked a light transport out of the air and sent it crashing into the ground, but that is the furthest or largest thing he has ever moved and required utter concentration to do it. Niro likes to create whirling vortexes of objects by fusing Force Grip and Force Whirlwind, creating chaotic flurries of flying metal and stone. Niro has never trained or found use in many other abilities than telekinesis inclined skills. Niro can also utilize Force Stealth, used to hide his connection to the Force and his connection to the Light Side, so that he may infiltrate dark side groups or small groupings of Sith.

HISTORY:
Early Life // Ages 1-9
Niro Aldrien was born an Echani, the pale unrelenting warriors of the cold. Drab blackness marked the birth of this boy in space, on route to Serenno. Vreem and Teshuma Dowl were smugglers, who met and fell in love during a job they were forced to perform together. Love led to the two conceiving and creating Niro, which, to them, was enough of a show of their love for each other, not needing marriage.
With the birth of their child, the pair decided to settle down, Serenno chosen for it's great economy, where both could find jobs. Vreem worked in the defense force of a local cooperation and Teshuma worked in a local hospital. Vreem saw little action in his line of work while Teshuma saw much action, but in the work of healing, not combat. In her job, Teshuma bonded with a mysterious Bothan, one Syble Valteiri, who possessed exceptional healing abilities which almost seemed miraculous.
Growing up, Niro attended a small school only a mile or so away from his home. At school he was amazing at physical sports and a great leader in team based games like capture the flag. His team always seemed to come out on top, no matter what game they were playing. He also was shown to have developed the psychometry that was somewhat uncommon in the Kiffar species.
In a conversation at work one day, Teshuma told her now close friend Syble of what had become of Niro, who seemed rather eager to agree to come to dinner that night, something she had been declining for a long time. Now in close proximity to the boy, Syble proved her belief correct; Niro was Force Sensitive, and very powerful at that.
After dinner, Syble revealed to the family the truth. She told them of Niro's power, revealing to them that she was Force Sensitive, her healing powers extensions of her power in the Force, because she was a Jedi Watchman. She told them there were great things in store for Niro, if he could be trained. Reluctantly, and at Niro's urging, the couple let go their child. And Niro, age four, began his epic journey to become a Jedi.
Niro was take to the Alaris Prime Jedi temple for teaching, becoming an Initiate in the Jedi Order. He started basic training in the Force and lightsaber combat, but made few friends because of his mixed blood. Because taken at age four, Niro forgot about his parents quickly, their faces becoming only faded images in his mind. In the year 2139, the academy held a small tournament for the Younglings, and Niro, showing some great skill in the blade, chose to join in. Though he did not win, receiving third place, this got him noticed by Kaylen Ferric, an Echani Jedi Master and Jedi Shadow, who had been watching Niro for a time, noting on his loneliness. When he asked the Jedi Council on Alaris Prime if he could take Niro as his Padawan, they accepted. The day before meeting each other, both master and Padawan meditated in a special section of the temple, as customary before Padawans would begin their learning under a master.
Apprentice // Ages 9-20
For eleven years Niro learned under Kaylen, living in the Coruscant temple when not on missions. Niro built his first lightsaber shortly after being taken as a Padawan, the blade a cool cyan color. For a month he worked tirelessly on the blade, embedding the crystal, meditating, cutting the parts, and assembling the weapon through the Force. When his journey was done, he had a blade that was his own.
Kaylen was a Jedi Shadow, a type of loner Jedi that worked as the Order's secret police. Therefore, he taught Niro what he thought the Padawan should learn; lightsaber combat, the Force, and other skills essential to becoming a Jedi Shadow. He tried to not force his beliefs on the child, but because the child took to him so much, it wouldn't have mattered whether or not Kaylen had; Niro wanted to be a Jedi Shadow. Kaylen brought up Niro's skill in Shii-Cho before moving onto Shien/Djem So, his personal choice for lightsaber combat. It took some time for Niro to get used to the reverse grip on the lightsaber, but he took to it like he did when learning at the temple. He was also taught Echani Martial Arts, an unarmed fighting style that fit him.
When Niro was eleven, while on a short leave at the Alaris Prime temple from missions, the a small group of Dark Jedi attacked. Niro and his master successfully fled the temple, among the dozens of other refugees. The pair concentrated more on missions for the next three years, as a replacement temple on Onderon was formed. In this time Niro took to the telekinetic aspect of the Force, where his master also concentrated. Age sixteen, after the building of the Jedi temple on Onderon, Niro returned with his master to Onderon on a mission to bust some drug dealers and save their hostages. One such hostage was Niro's mother, which forced Niro into restraint as not to compromise the mission.
When the pair finally stormed the place, via REBJ (Rapid Entry By Jedi), they dispatched the four stealthily, sneaking through the small warehouse, taking out criminals with telekineses or quick activation and deactivation of their lightsabers. They entered the core of the building, watching from scaffolding the hostages and their seven guards. Silently, the pair dropped down, molding into the shadows. They would pop out together, silencing two guards at a time, then disappear. The last drug dealer to remain, the leader of the small gang, took a hostage in his arms and put a gun to their head. Niro's mother was the hostage.
The man was backed into a position where they could do little. The two Jedi stood from either side, in the shadows, waiting for a moment to strike. Niro grew hasty and attacked when he thought he had the chance, lunging and activating his lightsaber. He first forced the man's gun arm against the wall with the Force and chopped that arm off. He turned and beheaded the man, cutting through the space his mother had been just moments before, freeing herself from the man's grip. Niro realized his actions too late, seeing he could have killed his mother in his rage. For weeks he was quiet.
In the latter years of his apprenticeship to Kaylen, he was taught stronger, more difficult techniques, like Force Stealth and Juyo. In this time Niro also made another lightsaber, learning from his master what he knew of Niman/Jar-Kai. Niro crafted his own form of combat, wielding two lightsabers in the reverse Shien fashion. At age twenty, Kaylen believed Niro ready for the Jedi Trials, which he passed simply. Now a Jedi Knight, Niro signed up for his dream job; the Jedi Shadows. The first part of his application to the Shadows was his deletion from the Jedi Archives, making him no longer technically alive in the eyes of most of the Jedi Order.
Shadow // Ages 20-25
Niro's first mission as a Jedi Shadow was to infiltrate the Geonosian gladiator arenas so that he could kill the Dark Jedi that ran one particular arena. Along with three other Shadows, Niro rose in rank easily as a gladiator, the Force his friend and ally. His treatment was cruel when not in the arena, and in the arena he was force to fight fearsome beasts that attack him with more ferocity than with any other gladiator. After becoming the best gladiators in the arena, the Jedi Shadows, who were now only Niro and another because the other two had died in combat, confronted the Dark Jedi. Together they killed the vile being, yet the battle was not without loses. The female Jedi Shadow lost her right forearm and Niro got his first taste of the dark side, feeling the fallen Jedi's power and marveling at it's epic proportions. For three years now Niro has been a Jedi Shadow and has grown somewhat of a name for himself, being a ruthless and unrelenting tool for the Jedi and Galactic Republic.
