Family History:
Ni' was raised in the Yablari system by his loving parents, Lin and Nucres. The other members of his family include three brothers and two sisters. The brothers are named: Nerud, Lanu, Lusin, and Finta; While the girls are named: Licia, and Grabinia. When he was young, he had the opportunity to meet his grandparents, Lula and Regi, but they soon died after of natural causes.
Ni' remains in contact with his family but doesn't express any more love toward them than he does any other creature in the galaxy.
Personal History:
Ni' was raised in the Yablari system, raised by his mother and father. He is the youngest of his family, having six other siblings that loved to torment him as he grew. Even during his youth, Ni' was quite compassionate to all those around him and never liked to anger anyone; He usually was the one to be seen diffusing a situation. As he grew, this trait didn't change.
In his early teenage years, the Jedi visited his planet looking for potential Jedi, those who could possibly become a jedi and could fight for peace and such in the galaxy. Of the group of Jedi that came to the planet, all but one said that he was too old to become a Jedi and moved on, but one had decided to test his midiclorians, to see if he would be able to do any such thing. With the results of the test, the Jedi had decided to take him back to the temple, to get the council's take on it. When he had gotten back, Ni' stood before the council for nearly an hour before they had spoken.
The council acknowledged his age and said that it was too late to train him, that he wouldn't be able to learn the Jedi way, but the young master who had brought him, who had obviously just become a master, fought for him, bringing up several points. In the end, hours had passed and the council had made their ruling. Ni' would be allowed to be trained, but the young master who had brought them before them would be the one to train him, personally responsible for him.
After they had left, Ni' started to get to know this master. The master's name was Yunyin, and he was human. Master Yunyin didn't seem much older than Ni', but was obviously older by his rank. Yunyin had a young face, but a deep voice. His hair was long and dark, flowing down past his shoulders with a silvery sheen. His eyes were each a different color, which added to his mysterious look. His left eye was a very dark green, his right an icy blue.
Master Yunyin trained Ni' exhaustingly for several years, first on knowledge, not letting him pick up a lightsaber. Ni' was expected to know, and quote, from memory, the Jedi from years back, the most influential jedi of all time, and the strongest of the Sith that had terrorized the galaxy, expected to list much about their lives. After a few years of nothing but knowledge, Ni' was finally allowed to lay his hands on a light saber. Instead of training with real lightsabers, though, he was training with some metal rods that were cut into the shape of a lightsaber. This was to ensure that he knew how to handle it before he was given the real thing.
Often was it that Master Yunyin and Ni' would do battle with these rods, and it was often that Yunyin would explain to him his faults. Master Yunyin expected him to be perfect, , vocalizing this several times, but only to force Ni' to learn, to try and live up to his master's expectations and learn much of what he was taught. He knew that Ni' couldn't walk away with all of the knowledge of the past, but what ever knowledge he did walk away with might just save his life.
During this training, Ni' was allowed to wield the rods as if he was wielding a saber, however felt most comfortable. He was given the option of a saberstaff, a single lightsaber with an extended hilt to fit both hands, a single lightsaber with a one handed hilt, a dual bladed lightsaber, or dual lightsabers, all in rod form. After nearly a month Ni' had found it most comfortable to fight with the dual rods, so Master Yunyin had let him make his sabers, since he had gotten fairly adept in combat.
For the next two years, the final two years of his training, Ni' was allowed to train with the sabers against his Master. Progress made very quickly with the sabers and Ni' inquired about force powers, which he had learned about but hadn't practiced in depth. Master Yunyin worked, slowly, on mastery of the basic force powers, teaching him only Push, Pull, Saber Throw, Sense, Life-detection, and Heal. Ni' was instructed to learn others on his own and to dabble in only what he was comfortable with, that he'd write his own tale.
At the end of the last year of his training, Ni' worked hard with his master and began to take a larger role in their dealings on planets, finding and recruiting many potential Jedi. Very rarely were his skills needed to quell evil on a planet that they visited. After his training was over, Ni' decided to stay at the temple and act as a guard, rarely leaving. Master Yunyin had given him a ship, a small ship that was just barely able to fit him in the controls had given him a ship, in case he'd want to visit other planets and explore.
Ni' had never had to fight the Sith, but Master Yunyin was certain now that he'd be ready when the opportunity presented itself. Ni' was a master of his basic force powers and didn't want to develop any of his own, relying on his own to get him through any situation that called for it.
Appearance
Description: Ni', like all other Anomid, has grey hair and silvery-blue eyes. Standing at about five and one-half feet tall, Ni' is considered by many to be smaller than average. As for his build, Ni' doesn't show muscle in his body, but is thin. In clothing, Ni' is rarely seen outside of his Jedi Robe, which is hooded and brown, closed in the front. However, though he very rarely is ever seen without this robe, Ni' likes wo wear tight clothes underneath to help him in is fighting, being able to throw the robe off when needed allows him to shed any loose clothing and allow him to move unimpeded. Under his robe Ni' usually had brown clothing on, to match the robe, with a belt to hold his sabers directly at his waist on sides opposite each other. Lightsaber Appearance:His two sabers are a bit different than everyone elses as they have longer hilts which allow him to double hand one while the other is on his belt. This allows him to wield one with much more strength than usual, but slows him down a bit. Another function of this is, if he is still in his robe, to trick the foe into believing that he only has one saber, surprising them in the event of his pulling out the other saber. The sabers themselves are an Onyx color with a brown grip and the standard red ignition button. On his right saber the brown grip loops entirely around it, but on hisleft saber, the grip only goes around three quarters of the hilt. Personality: Ni' remains calm under most cirumstances, keeping his mind clear. At many times, this makes him seem as if he was in a meditative trance. Ni' views all creatures, no matter what they might have done, as his equal, treating them as such. On several occasion, Ni' has demonstrated his love for justice as he had punished those who have betrayed his trusted or have simply done him wrong in general. While he isn't violent, Ni' isn't hesitant to turn in those who do wrong, using his lightsaber only in times when it is needed to diffuse a situation before it becomes dangerous. Ni' follows the Jedi Code very strictly, as if it were law. He is a true Jedi who prefers to talk his way out of problems, rather than force his way out. He learns very quickly, as he did when he was expected to know the Jedi and sith from the past. Likes: The Jedi Code/ Jedi Order Dislikes: N/a Additional Information: N/a Sample Post: Ni' sat in the temple gardens; Over the past few months there had been no comotion at the temple. There had been several times which he was invited to watch and speak at the younglings' lessons, but many of those he turned down. He was a guard and prefered to be watching out for the temple, to ensure no one that wasn't supposed to got inside. Right now he was meditating in the peace and serenity of the gardens, which were always like this. These gardens were placed inside to keep them quiet, away from all the troubles of the world outside them.
Master Yunyin had shown him, in the past, the importance of meditation to the Jedi. Meditation was a time where you'd clear your mind, allowing you to see clearly, even if the situation wasn't too clear. Everyday in the early morning Ni' came to these gardens to meditate, everyday he got here before most other Jedi. His meditation helped keep him calm, helped him work on his force training, which took place later in the day, after he had finished with his shift of guard duty. His force training was simple and repetetive and helped him grown immensely since he had parted with Master Yunyin.
His training style came from what he had read about Jedi Master Yoda, who had lead the Council not long before the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader and the Dark Lord Emperor Palpatine were defeated. Yoda had, which Ni' couldn't do, subjected himself to solitude to master the force, learning it to depths that most others would never grasp. Ni' would never be able to achieve this, but it wouldn't stop him from his training. His job was to keep the temple safe from threats, no matter who they be from. As his meditation wound to a close, Ni' stood and took several deep breaths. He was to go to guarding the temple now, which meant that he was to wander the temple halls and corridors and inspect anything that seemed out of place.
Any young Padawan that was not with their master was to be challenged to find out where they should be, then sent off. Padawans weren't always supposed to be with their masters, but most masters these days wanted their Padawan to be as strong as possible and training very often. Ni' would repeat his walk throughs of the halls for hours before he was relieved of his duty, then he'd go train. Since he had left his master, Ni' began to work on complete master of a few other force powers. Force User Class: Knight Force Class: Light Force Powers: Push, Pull, Saber Throw, Sense, Life-detection, and Heal Force Abilities: N/a Ship Name: Mercy Starship Class: Fighter Starship Registry Number: JA2-0014-COS Engine Class: XT202-single class accelerator Ship Description: A small ship given to Ni' by Jedi Master Yunyin as a gift for transportation. Not meant for combat, this ship is simply used for both quick escapes and travel from planet to planet. This ship is fast because of it's small weight. Weapons: Single pair of front mounted blasters. Crew No crew

Alright, here comes little miss critic.... (Don't feel bad, I'm harsh on everyone in Apps.)
So, I've found a couple grammatical errors that wouldn't be caught by spell check that you might want to go back and fix. The words are spelt right, just not used correctly was mostly the problem. Those bother me, and I don't mean to totally be cruel, but I can't stand seeing them.
History, love it. Perfect, long, detailed. Yay.
Personality, fair. A little more would be nice, but it works for him because he's so....normal.
Description. Could be a little better. Compared to your history, makes me want to cry. I can tell that you can really do detail, and that's a great part. But could you tell us more about Ni'? Like, what he prefers to where, how long his hair is, that sort of thing.
As for the sample post, I'd like if you could at least quote a post from another site, especially if it was a Star Wars post. I'm rather lenient in that department because I hate making up sample posts myself. So, if you really don't want to post one, that's fine.... I suppose.
Sorry about me being a total meanie, but being that I'm really the only admin active at this moment and normally these are accepted by two people, I'm gonna be a little harder (Though not much, which you'll notice later. I'm picky). If you can just edit those bits and post, I'll go back through it and it'll be accepted until Andy comes back and can make his second approval.

All's well and, yes, I like the new lightsaber appearance thing.
Somebody's gotta be strict around here. ^_^
You're accepted, it looks much better.
