Age: 23
Homeland: Republic City
Height: 178 CM
Weight: 58 KG
Eye Colour: Pastel Teal
Hair Colour: Pastel Teal

Personality​

While on the surface, Jalas tend to some across as a very easy going and kind individual. As far as the authorities of Republic City and casual acquaintances are concerned, Jalas lives a simple life and keeps to himself, rarely showcasing his own bending skills outside of his work as a waterbending healer at a small healing clinic. In truth he hides an overzealous hatred of the anti-bending group known as the Alliance. Having chosen to work at the healing clinic in order to make sure no one attacks it, or if the Alliance does, that no one gets hurt, at least among the healers.

After the death of his parents when he was just a young teenager, he developed an aloof air of indifference despite the hardships of his fellow benders causing great emotional strain. Jalas has made it his purpose in life to protect his fellow benders from the the Alliance, and had commits his own acts of cruelty in the process. Perhaps it's because of the murder of his parents that he is unable to see the horrors in his own actions.

Biography​

[/fancybox4]

[sURL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUZeSYsU0Uk']~ Theme Song ~[/sURL]​

Born in Republic City, Jalas grew up the son of a waterbender mother and an earthbender father. Having been taught from an early age that the city was a place for people from all nations and cultures to come and live together in peace, it came as quite the burden to learn that many non-benders disliked or even hated benders like his parents. His earliest years were marked by fear as a spree of riots broke out near his neighborhood. As his father was a low ranking member of the Metalbending Police Force, Jalas and his mother's worst fears nearly came true one night when his father was nearly beaten to death by non-bender rioters after attempting to save a non-bending child from a firebender who'd been attacked and started shooting flames at the crowds. Jalas had sat next to his mother in tears as she tended to her husband's many wounds with her waterbending.

It wasn't long after this that Jalas himself started to show signs of waterbending ability. His mother happily showed him the basics, even teaching him many of her healing techniques, but Jalas was always afraid to learn more out of fear that the growing resentment of benders by non-benders and the increased crime rate of such acts as muggings, public attacks, and even someone burning down the healing clinic his mother worked at. Eventually he learned to train his skills so he might be able to defend himself.

Eventually, Jalas would lose everything and his fears slowly turned into a zealous hatred. When Jalas was just fourteen he and his parents had gone out to see a pro bending match and on the way back home they had been cornered by a group of men and women calling themselves the Alliance. Jalas' father did his best to defend his family, but it soon became apparent that he was going to be overwhelmed. As in the past, these anti-bender radicals had trained to fight benders, they quickly took down Jalas' father, forcing his mother to attempt to defend her son. With nowhere to run and no real training in the combative aspects of waterbending, his mother was captured almost instantly.

The memory of his parents' bodies being hung over a street lamp would forever haunt his nightmares. It was that night that Jalas knew he'd never allow such acts to happen again. Such a foolish notion that was, as the gang that took him in would soon teach him. This gang was and still is known as the Shadow Benders, a group dedicated to countering the Alliance in the Underground, and protecting the city's bending population at whatever cost, criminally or otherwise.

He spent the rest of his teenage years learning to fight in the underground of Republic City, eventually engaging some of the more radical members of the Alliance in street warfare. Over the years he developed a specific style and gained a reputation as a vicious and ruthless waterbender, though for those outside of the Shadow Benders very few knew of the link between his true identity as Jalas Nalin and his role within the Shadow Benders. Eventually he proved himself to be the most skilled fighter among the waterbenders of the gang, earning himself a leadership position within the Shadow Benders as well as the title of Mizukage, or the Water Shadow.

Despite being one of the leaders of the Shadow Bender gang, Jalas rarely invokes his authority among the lower ranking members or even towards his fellow kage. Typically being seen as the weakest of the three kage, both the Tsuchikage and Hokage respect him both for his fighting prowess as well as for his role as an advisor. Jalas has no real desire to lead, such as with the Hokage who has attempted to assume sole leadership of the gang by challenging the current leader, the Tsuchikage. While refusing to get involved in the petty infighting most of the time, viewing it as a waste of time when there are those out there that would and have killed many of their loved ones, Jalas has also continued to back the Tsuchikage during multiple duels between the three gang leaders.

Nowadays though, Jalas has taken an even more reserved role within the Shadow Benders, with many members questioning whether or not he should even be counted amongst their leaders. Despite their many differences, neither of the other Kage had supported such claims, and Jalas welcomes any challenger to attempt and take the title of Mizukage for themselves. Preferring to live a quiet life by day as a general healer at a small clinic near his home in the poorer district of the city, Jalas still makes his presence known some nights, hunting down non-benders who have attacked benders or those that would attempt to lead rallies or even riots. Despite being a criminal himself, Jalas views his actions as noble and justified, even when he blurs the lines of right and wrong himself.​

Waterbending​

While a competent and even skilled healer, Jalas isn't likely to master the skill in his lifetime as he doesn't dedicate enough of his time to it and has no real desire to do so. Despite only being an adequate healer, Jalas does had a rather extensive understanding of the human anatomy, and his time fighting against the equalists has given him plenty of chances to study chi blocking first hand, though his skills with chi blocking are still those of one who is self taught. Where his skills as a waterbender truly shine are in his skills as an icebender.

His use of ice sickle throwing knifes from long ranges as well as in the thick of battle to devastating effect has earned him many victories. More than this though, Jalas signature waterbending ability comes in the form of an icy mist, most devastating during a rainstorm or when it's snowing, he is able to both form an almost armor like layer of ice over his body as well as using the skill to the opposite effect on others, restricting their movements as the engagement carries on making it ever more difficult for them to keep up under the pressure.

A fast paced, agile, and devastating combatant, Jalas is a renowned duelist and fighter in the Underground circles of Republic City, even earning himself a leadership position within a bending gang known as the Shadow Benders. A somewhat underground counter movement to the Alliance, though smaller in number. His natural abilities paired with his icy mist signature, gives him increased endurance in a fight allowing him to take more damage now and worry about healing himself later. Only other drawback is that without a large source of water nearby, he has to build up to the protective ice layer over time by drawing water from the air around him.

It should be noted however, that few outside the Shadow Benders know his true identity, with most people simply calling him by his gang title, Mizukage. This is because when fighting or otherwise engaging in criminal activity, Jalas always covers his face in an ice mask to remain anonymous. He has even been forced to flee before by police after they targeted his mask in an attempt to learn his true identity. Thankfully, other than rare occasions, repairing the mask takes only a second or two before he is able to return to a fight.​

Biography​

[/fancybox4]

Born in Republic City, Mika lived as the daughter to the Deputy Police chief, learning to earth and metal bend from an early age. Her life was quite interesting, learning how to bend while blind was a challenge, the only other bender known to do so was Toph Beifong, but luckily, her descendants were willing to teach the technique.

Mika excelled in her studies in both bending and school, learning to read and write Brail at the age of 10. Her teachers knew that the girl was special even before she showed her proficiency in Lava bending. Again, Lava bending is rare, so that meant that she had to be taught by waterbenders. In many ways, lavabending is a lot like Waterbending, waterbenders are able to take water from a solid state into a liquid state in a matter of seconds. Lavabenders are the same way, although the lessons involving the wrapping of opponents were held off, since most of the practice partners were actual people.

Mika's skills quickly became one of the best around the land, utilizing both metal and lava bending when in combat training. When she turned eighteen, Mika applied to the Police Force Academy, planning to follow in her father's footsteps. And she did, though she was kept off of Field duty, the chiefs claimed that her lava bending was too much of a hazard to risk the public with. She tried to explain to them that she had complete control over it, but they didn't listen, not clearing her to be a field officer.

Still wanting to do more than be a CSI officer, she took to the Vigilante life, calling herself Gaia. She dressed in a long coat, put feathers in her hair, and a bamboo mask over her face. Her first opportunity to don her new persona failed. She tried to stop the Triad from robbing a bank, but the water bender managed to hit her mask with an ice knife, knocking the mask off and scarring Mika's face.

Now, she continues as her Gaia guise, gaining a little respect from most of the Police force, now only a few will try to arrest her on sight, mostly because they were new and didn't know that she was there to help. But, with the rise of the Alliance, she is finding it harder and harder to help people as the nonbenders she tries to help begin to attack her. She heard of a group called the Shadow benders and decided to see if they needed her skills, but she would need to prove herself if she wanted to join them. ​

Earthbending​

Mika's earthbending skills are rare, and earthbender being able to control Metal and Lava is a one in one-thousandth chance. She uses her abilities with such skill, some consider her to be an artist. Many people have commented on how her use of Lava never seems to destroy the city like one would think. Her use of lava to melt the metal of getaway cars, and motorcycles has given the Police many criminals to keep. ​

[/fancybox4]
Name: Elle Chesali
Alias: N/A
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Homeland: Republic City
Height: 161 CM
Weight: 53 KG
Eye Colour: Green
Hair Colour: Black
Skin Tone: Pale
Bender: Firebender

Personality​

Elle is rather shy, apprehensive of other's intent when speaking with her. A rough childhood and hectic adulthood lead her to be less than trusting when it came to strangers, and can be anxious when it comes to social interactions with new people. Falling into a common stereotype of firebenders, Elle is somewhat quick to anger and can become aggressive easily. She has a very strong independent streak about her, and usually prefers to work alone or with as small a group as possible. Her self-perception is a bit negative, and she tends to worry about being seen as weak or not necessary. Her anxiety relating to this causes her to come off as a "bad girl" or "tough girl" until you manage to get to know her better.

When you break past her rebellious nature you'll find a girl that, while quick to aggressive action, is very caring and empathetic towards her friends and loved ones. The aggression can take the form of protectiveness when paired up with her caring side, and she isn't shy to get into fights to protect people she cares about. Her main role in a friend group would be the "older sibling"-type, where she fights for people that can't fight for themselves but also is quick to be nice and cook for them to support them emotionally. In this way she slightly resembles both the "big brother" and "big sister" archetypes. Deep down she wants to be important to people, to be cared for and useful to others.

Biography​

[/fancybox4]

​

Born in Republic City, Elle was born to a firebending mother and an earthbending father. Her father owned a Fire Nation Earth Kingdom fusion restaurant while her mother was a singer and dancer for hire. She learned early on how to cook from her dad, as a practical skill needed for life but also as a way to have an extra cook in the family restaurant once she was old enough to work. Elle took quickly to the skill, even being able to make full meals for herself before long. Living for the most part well off, her neighborhood hadn't been exposed to the riots and activities of The Alliance, only hearing by word of mouth and through the news. ​

​

Around the time she was ten she started being able to fire bend, something that was somewhat a surprise to her father. He always thought she took after him more than her mother, and hoped that she would turn out to be an earthbender instead. Regardless soon after her bending ability manifesting her mother trained her in the basics of its use, and later hired a teacher to help continue the training. Elle always had took a liking to the Pro-Bending scene, and her mentor specifically taught her how to fight using her abilities.​

​

At the request of her mother, Elle would also learn how to sing. Her thought process when it came to the topic would be to give her daughter another job opportunity if probending didn't work out the way she hoped. For years she would go off to cook in the day, practice bending in the afternoon and train her vocal cords at night. It became routine, something she had to give structure to her life as a kid. It was all well and good, her actively enjoying it, but one aspect wasn't as fun. In her bending classes she would be picked on and used for jokes by other children for her androgynous appearance and difficulty bending at first. At the beginning of her training she was slow to learn, and being physically smaller than most of the class didn't help much either. In the end though, the teasing and torment worked in her favor. She was motivated even more because people didn't expect much from her, she wanted to prove them wrong.​

​

She was seventeen by the time she was finally allowed to start up her pro-bending career, being scouted by a team that was in need of a new firebender after the last one was injured at the hands of The Alliance in a sudden attack on their home. That pro-bending team would go by the name Koala Otters, and Elle would get to participate in matches with them for several months as their firebender, Zorri Cho-Gao, recovered from his wounds. The Koala Otters had won several matches during Elle's time as a part of the team, and following their fire bender's full recovery a decision was made to actually keep her on the team as a substitute if she was ever needed. She was ecstatic just to be a pro-bender, and accepted the position almost immediately. ​

​

She would later become friends with Zorri and eventually shift into being a romantic partner. It was fun, exciting even to be in a relationship with someone you would go to work with. Zorri would help Elle learn and further her uses of firebending, aiding her in what she had yet to know and advancing what she already had a handle on. He also decided to teach her how to bend and redirect lightning. Elle had only ever known how to firebend and hadn't even thought about lightning bending prior to that point. It wasn't needed for pro-bending, but Zorri thought it would be a good thing for his girlfriend to learn just for the sake of learning it. He also used it as a way for the two firebenders to spend more time together, as selfish as that could be.​

​

It was when she turned Nineteen that Elle finally found herself touched by The Alliance. The attack on Zorri carried out years ago wasn't a one-off thing apparently, and the same group of Alliance members would again go after Zorri. The extremists were out for blood this time, and showed it through chi-blockers equipped with lethal weaponry. They had attacked Zorri while he and Elle were out on a date actually, going to a fancy restaurant as a way to celebrate her birthday that year. The two firebenders were caught off guard, but they weren't totally useless in a fight and that was very apparent. For a good five minutes them and a few other benders held back the radical fighters, which seemed to annoy them quite a bit. Just as police arrived on the scene the Alliance members fled, but not before one of them got a stab in on Zorri while he was distracted dealing with a different chi-blocker. ​

​

The attack happened quickly, and luckily the police managed to capture the criminal responsible for the stabbing and get Zorri to a hospital, but in the end he would succumb to the stab wound and bleed out while on the operating table. Elle hadn't expected him to die, but when he did an intense flame of hatred was lit within her. All she wanted to do was rush into the police station and melt the face off of the man responsible for her pain. Why would anyone do such a thing to another person based solely on them being able to bend?

Now a year later Elle has tried to cope with the loss of Zorri the best she can, and became the Koala Otters' firebender full time to replace his previous role on the team. She was able to get her own apartment, and moved out to be on her own some time after Zorri's death.​

Firebending​

A competent bender, Elle's main strengths would be in her creative use of fire in addition to acrobatic. Lightning being something she had trained in later in life, while proficient in it it definitely isn't her strong suit.
​

She is most effective using fire to augment punches and kicks, in addition to throwing quick fireballs and redirecting fire. This is a result of her heavy focus in the pro-bending way of fighting. Attacks that are limited to one second in length made it useless to learn the more complex and nuanced techniques she could have otherwise learned as a child. Her fighting style is actually strangely similar to airbending, mixing circular movement in with her regular attacks to send out waves of flame at an opponent.​

​

An excellent pro-bender known for her fast and devastating ability to control the field of battle, her strength mainly comes in the form of endurance and speed. She isn't as physically strong as some of her competitors, but still manages to be on-par in bending ability and combat prowess. She often uses her small size to her advantage, making examples of the naive opponents that think she is just a small weak girl. Her fighting style is quick and aggressive, a barrage of attacks aimed at ending the fight as fast as humanly possible due to her lacking in physical ability. She is a ranged fighter by default, but isn't shy to get in close as needed.​

Personality

To be plain, Rorrir is a bully, a brash arrogant jerk with a mean streak, or at least he was. Nowadays, Rorrir has toned down a lot from his past self, finally seeing light in that he may be the one at fault rather than the world. Years of attitude and self superiority are not easily undone however, and Rorrir is in many ways, the same person he was in school. Rorrir is still brash and rude, sometimes accidently, and very loud in expressing himself and his feelings. His anger is also very quick to rise as well, and easily burns out of his control. He also keen to overestimating himself and underestimating others as well, something he simply cannot let go of. But he is no longer a bully however, his once ugly mean spirit lightening out, and has actually started to feel shame for his some of his past actions, his time alone leeching away some of the self esteem and anger for others he'd built up. One thing he holds on to however, despite his recent revelations, is a particular dislike for waterbenders as it was one of them that had pulled the fatal strings regarding his life goals. Personally, he holds slight contempt for the Alliance, as he sees himself in them, lashing out others for unrelated misdeeds, a key factor in his own recent revelations. Their stance is something he is unsure of however, as while he is still confident in the superiority of Benders, it is a viewpoint he has told himself to question of late, and for now is simply content with disapproving of their means.



Biography

Born in a Republic City suburb as an only child, Rorrir reaped the benefits of his single child status from an early age, always the center of attention. He was spoiled rotten. given near constant attention, received almost everything he asked for, and received training in the bending arts from a young age. This training also included teaching, and while his parents weren't rich, they were well off enough to hire a few tutors for some "advanced lessons." All of these factors combined, resulted in what seemed to be a child prodigy, as compared to the other kids at least. Seemingly superior, and never really gaining a strong social foothold to begin with, Rorrir took things at face value, he WAS superior, and proud of it. For a time, Rorrir was the star of the school and his neighborhood, in academics, sports, and even bending. It didn't last though. Eventually, as his head start wore off, the gaps between him and his classmates lessened, and then disappeared completely. In time, Rorrir actually found himself falling behind, especially in academics.

Unfortunately, this wasn't something that agreed with the young boy, and as it continued, Rorrir began to grow jealous and angry over his new inferiority. Sour and frustrated, Rorrir eventually started to loose his anger on those around him, becoming a bully and jerk to others. His parents and few friends only egged him on in this, reassuring him of his greatness, and Rorrir grew up as a crash arrogant individual with only mediocre skills and grades. Upon graduating, this safety bubble was immediately popped as all his attempts at a higher education were rejected, and many of his "profession attempts" were likewise blocked. He would later learn, that this was due to a revenge scheme by one of his victims, who'd spread word of his school "activities" all around town. Seething and hateful, Rorrir started his first adult years as a bum living in his parents basement, unwilling to work in the places that would take him.

With so much time on his hands, Rorrir spent his time practicing his bending, and falling in with the local thugs. Under their influence, Rorrir received his body piercings, self done, and got caught up in several robberies and muggings. This ended with him in handcuffs and serving time, thankfully a reduced sentence due to his having a lesser role. When he got out, he found his parents a mite less welcoming than before, and was kicked out once he when he refused to get a job once more. Alone, and for once in his life, a little unsure, Rorrir started off into the heart of Republic City, hoping to find a new start of some kind where his deeds hadn't come before him. Fully stripped of the "bubble of assurance" he'd grown up with, and somewhat dependent on others that he might've once looked down on. Rorrir has begun to look back on his past with the slightest regret and shame, seeing the world through new eyes.



Attributes

To the disbelief of most, and indeed perhaps nature itself, Rorrir is in fact an earthbender with moderate abilities in the metalbending subtype. It fits well with his thick robust build, if not his personality, and is the one thing his pride has stayed strong in. He IS good to be fair, particularly with strong rough applications of earth and metal, and has decent reflexes when he needs them. He fights as such, unleashing large boulders and pillars with reckless abandon, unafraid to try his hand in close combat, a skill he has some slight experience in due to his criminal past. He keeps several iron items on him as a potential source of metal bending, in the form of his sword and knife, along with a metal chain, though he tends to use them more as backup surprise weapons. Rorrir is less skilled than he thinks however,a common theme for him, and has problems when it comes to dexterity and cunning in fights. He isn't dumb, but, as evidenced by the location of before mentioned chain and his body piercings, he doesn't always think stuff through either. Unfortunately, brawling and fighting are where Rorrir's skills end, as he has little experience with anything else, having never actually worked or schooled for anything. He has a new willingness to work however, and a brand new determination. One key skill he does posses however, is the ability to look intimidating with his get-up and face scars, something he has begun to cultivate in response to the increasing attacks on Benders.

Eye Colour: Gold

Personality​

Zhan Ma Dao is a man who above all else, is dead set in his belief that society is in a dire state and needs to be fixed. He has a violent streak to him, with an absolute loathing towards the powerful and gifted as he feels they abuse their positions and abilities for personal gain instead of altruism. At the same time however, Zhan has a gentle side with a love of animals and soft spot for the down trodden, often giving money he steals from his victims to charity and living a rather destitute life. Zhan is internally conflicted, torn between his desire for violence and his convictions to making the world better, and spends a lot of his time mingling with the people before he acts, finding it calming to walk among his fellow people to get a good handle on things. He is cautious in choosing his targets, but once he has selected someone as his target, he will not stop until they are dead or he is unable to continue fighting. Seeing himself as a sword of change and a shield for the defenseless, his twisted ideals make him a dark reflection of one of the latest crazes in the world, the Comic Book Vigilante.

Biography​

[/fancybox4]

[sURL='https://youtu.be/dCvJFrzrTck']~ Theme Song ~[/sURL]​

Zhan Ma Dao was originally born in the Fire Nation, a member of a simple family who used fire bending to do repairs and metal work. A humble but impoverished lifestyle, the Dao's managed to make a name for themselves after their father used scrap metal to create a rather impressive piece of art work, selling it to a local governor for a sizeable amount of money and moving to the city.

Zhan's family had once been rich, descendants from swordsmiths whose work was said to rival that of the legendary Piandao, no small coincidence considering the Ma Dao and Pian Dao were distant relatives. With the widespread availability of bending however, along with advances in technology, and the development of Metal Bending and better means of Police Response, such weapons were largely artpieces now, and while Zhan continued to practice the arts his family had done for many years, it was mostly seen itself, as an artform.

Such a lucky break did not stop when they traveled to Republic City, as Zhan was pressured to continue his "Swordsmanship Performances" to help make money, while his father continued to make elaborate and ornamental swords for the wealthy of the city looking for a nice decorative wall piece. The use of fire bending within his sword work sickened Zhan somewhat, who found it and the culture around bending to be a far cry from the legends of benders from before the hundred year war concluded. His fathers ever growing greed and success, and mothers continued distance from her bending husband and children, pained Zhan's heart.

Zhan eventually left his home after a tragic incident drove his father into depression, taking to the streets to argue that bending had become a twisted version of itself, thanks to modern societies views on it. He argued publicly, taking inspiration from the philosophers and great minds of the past, and would spend hours a day in any place that wouldn't throw him out, that Bending was a gift meant to only be used sparingly, not abused for personal gain and profit. He denounced such practices as Pro-Bending or the widespread advancement of technology over traditional values, believing a return to the past of benders being Altruistic individuals who asked for no compensation, and for many to preform honest labor instead of industrialization.

His speeches gained him few friends and many enemies, often resulting in him being attacked and needing to defend himself, which he did by bringing his dull blade to bear along with his fire bending. Since each incident was in self defense, the police of republic city were always forced to release him, but didn't stop from occasionally taking their own cracks at him, and confiscating any weapons he'd make. Vagrancy drove him to desperation, going for long stretches without eating, and few places he could go to find sleep. Eventually, he ran afoul of some of the anti-benders, denouncing the Equalitist reliance on technology and flaunting of their attacks. Kidnapped off the streets and brought before their leader, Zhan received a punishment twice over, not only having his bending ripped out of him, but his hands being broken as well due to the injuries he caused the equalist sent to capture him.

The incident would forever scare the man, as he watched Republic City almost fall to the power of overwhelming technology, and bending allowed to be exploited for mass gain. A hatred began to well inside, against any who flaunted their power over the weak, and those who perverted their natural talents for selfish goals. His firebending did not return, but Zhan spent years traveling away from Republic city to hone what skills he had left, those of his blade. It was an exercise in futility, Zhans sword style evolving to match the threat of ranged combat but having no answer for people who could bend metal with their fists and warp it however they wished. The pain of his hands as well, made wielding a heavy blade difficult and painful, and he lacked the meticulous movements thanks to the damage of his healed bones.

In anger, he lashed out with his sheath, and found it cut through a solid tree as if it were made of paper. His firebending was gone, but in its place, the Convergence had granted him a different sort of bending, that of Air itself. He traveled to the air temple, remembering that the Avatars son was an Airbender himself, and soon found himself training to utilize the air and shape it around him. It felt close to Fire bending, and Zhan became renowned as being almost naturally talented in the art. However, his application of it lacked when it came to gentle displays or inner peace, his style of bending akin to a raging hurricane or violent storm, strong bursts of wind and sharp cuts of the air, like a blade. Zhan was one of the first airbenders to rediscover the technique of the Air Blade, using a wooden training sword as a medium rather then a traditional staff.

There was concern over whether or not a man like Zhan should be allowed to practice, as his inner peace seemed to rarely come if ever. One day, Zhan simply left the temple in the dead of night, few able to find where he had gone and a simple letter left behind, thanking them for what they taught him, and saying he wished to make the world as real and truthful as the temple he called paradise. Ever since, Zhan has traveled and set out on a mission to purge the world of its corrupt and "evil" individuals, whether by simple force and intimidation or outright murder. His tactics have made him mistaken by some as a Mercenary, and has earned him a reputation within the underworld as a dangerous and unstable individual. Operating under the alias of Oroshi, it is said that he might have fallen in with the infamous Red Lotus, though this cannot be confirmed. What is known is that since his departure from the temple, "Oroshi" has a list of suspected murders under his belts, many of whom range from criminal leaders to leading experts in weapon manufacturing, and even one pro-bender.

Airbending​

A former fire bender, Zhan was forever changed when his bending was taken away by Amon, and by the bridging of the spirit world to the physical world transforming his bending from Fire to Air.

Zhan's bending his described best as a hurricane, with his punches and kicks producing strong gusts, and his sweeping motions and sways of his hands having too strong a power behind them then is necessary. His use of air bending however is not without its grace, as he is capable of moving at great speeds and feats of almost supernatural agility thanks to his connection to the air. Capable of falling slowly, running alongside walls for a short time, and an incredible jumping height, it makes Zhan a very acrobatic individual.

For all his speed and grace, power remains his main focus however, as his air punches and kicks are extremely strong, as is his most favored and dangerous technique, the Air Blade. Focusing on honing the wind until it flows like a saw around an objects edge, he is capable of turning anything in his grasp into a deadly slashing weapon, able to cut through trees and leave deep scars within hard boulders. His use of this technique, combined with his long standing practice of swordsmanship, leads to Zhan being an incredibly dangerous foe when armed with his weapon of choice, a wooden sword sheathed within his gliding staff.

Zhan is most dangerous when he is armed with his sword, his movements with the blade combining with his airbending to allow him to knock aside projectiles, lift and toss around enemies with air sweeps and air shields, and of course close in for an offensive attack. But without weapons, Zhan's abilities can dramatically decrease, as he cannot use his air blades with his bare hands without damaging them extensively. This reliance on weaponry, and lack of discipline and patience, leads Zhan to have a poor defense, and lack the ability for a sustained fight.

These glaring flaws held him back from being a truly gifted student at the Air Temple, and his inner demons and obsessions chain him from reaching his true potential as an airbending prodigy. His gift for combat is great, but it has left him bound to them over all other things, and blinded him to the kind of person he could truly become.

Biography​

[/fancybox4]

​

Charles was born in a poor mining village in the Earth kingdom, his parents were both hard workers and they always told Charles he needed to be a person who worked with his hands. Because the best things come to those that used their hands. And as Charles grew older he tried to do his best to help out in the mine, the village entire living was connected to it. The Farm land was poor and yet the people were proud so they couldn't do anything but continue to work on the mine as best they could to live. But even with Charles earth bending he couldn't help out as much with it, it was a raining day when he eventually made the decision with his family to move to Republic city. It was probably the best way to help them out, so Charles had gather his stuff, and headed to the big city on a train. He didn't have a whole lot of money, and left a lot behind, friends, memories, past girlfriend.

Traveling to the famed Republic city was a difficult one, as the village had no major roads or trains near it for him to use. Charles had to travel for several weeks to find the nearest train station. The trip wasn't pleasant as he ran into many large predators which forced him to use what Earth bending he does know and running as fast as possible. He had used up all the food he brought, and almost died of hunger before reaching the train station. Once he got on Charles took out a small necklace with a beautiful red raw ruby, wrapped in string. A final reminder, one that he will carry for both his village and her.​

Earthbending​

A self trained man, Charles isn't at all a natural. But he does make it up by his complete willingness never to give up, no matter how many times you knock him down, he isn't going to stop.
​

Charles has spent most of his time Earth bending as a means to work as a miner. Mostly moving huge amount of stones and creating strong pillars to support the tunnel. It isn't a easy training process but thanks to this, he can move heavier stones and make capable supportive pillars. So during combat he will be creating strong walls, and using long range attacks mostly. Though if brought into melee range, he isn't afraid to create a stony fist around his actual fist. Still he has a long way to go before he is truly capable of fighting anyone.​

Disposition

Koda unlike his younger sibling has based his life around the Defensive arts of their nation, but do not let his defensive stance fool you, he still remains a threat in the offense. As an Air nomad, Koda was never too comfortable accepting a life of peace and quiet, his heart loved to travel and experience the neighboring nations cultures. With all the potential his twin bore, Koda constantly attempted to teach his sister many hand to hand forms but he could tell she despised said act which in turn made him despise her abilities even more. Thinking to himself that she was a waste of power. He hated seeing his sister fake her way out of disputes and training, he could tell she never wanted to be present in the sessions. Regardless of his acts and showmanship, he deep down always loved and cared for his sister.

History

View attachment 4580

As a child growing up i always had a problem fitting in, seeing as i was born with the inability to see. I had to grow up fast, faster than most in fact, defending myself from bullies and even had to prove myself a worthy bender to attend the training sessions. I grew up a few years helping raise my twin sister Mei. Caring for her i tried my best to teach her the ways of our people and raise her right. But to no avail, i lost her and thats where it all began....

As children growing up i tended to place both blame and shame on Mei, saying she was the 'oops child' but deep down i still loved her. She was family after all
Once i became of age i left my home friends and family and sat out traveling, 'broadening my knowledge of our possible enemies'....psh that was just the lie i told everyone. Truth be told i wanted to get away from home and be my own person...not what they told me to be. After a few years of traveling across the nations i got word my sibling had been noticed as a trouble maker as well....BAH!.....how could it be possible you say?!.....that i don't know either....but i returned home....to help aid in controlling my sister....

My anger, hate and resentment towards my sister has placed a barrier between us....but instead of leaving once more....for....self developmental reasons....i stayed home.....to assist in her training, instructions and....well her mentor until we can utilize her properly....I just wish I could leave home and travel the lands once again....

Biography​

[/fancybox4]

born in Republic City, Tivris grew up in an orphanage never knowing his parents for most of his early life. the orphanage was run by a cruel woman, often beating Tivris for "misbehaving" which would lead to him eventually running away to live on the streets of the city at the age of 9. Over the next 7 years, he would painfully learn how to survive and then thrive in streets.

at 13 is when he discovered he could bend. he discovered it when an older street urchin tried to take his bread he worked hard to steal. older urchin was bigger and stronger than he was, so he ran rather than fight he was faster than the boy but his knowledge of the city wasn't good at the time, he was cornered down a back ally. trapped he prepared himself for the coming beat down. as the boy raised his fists he shielded his face in quick motion waiting for a punch that would never come. he opened his eyes after waiting for a second and in front of him lay a skinny wall of dirt and rock about half a meter tall and the boy with a gobsmacked face before running away in fear. he like at his hands and smiled, if he could learn how to use his abilities he could help himself and others that need his help and now we reach his present, as much wiser and street smart boy where goes about republic city stealing food to feed the poor and helping the down trodden.

Earthbending​

Tivris's earthbending skills are some what lacking since he's never had a teacher and had to fumble through it over a couple of years. he can create simple barriers and lift and move earth no large than the size of a chest and never really used it for fighting.​

NAME:Mei Coraline
AGE: 24
GENDER: Female
HAIR: Black
EYES: Brown
NATION: Air Nomad[/fancybox4]
Born to Jinorra and Kai, Mei is the younger twin to her brother Koda. Her brother was born blind, forcing Mei to grow up and care for him rather than enjoy the childhood she could have had. The two were constantly at ends with one another. Koda wanted to teach her how to fight and air bend like the people of her birthright, but Mei never wished to learn how to fight. She was more focused on playing with the spirits and animals of their world. He would be forceful with her, which made it all the harder when her parents forced her to be kind to him due to his disability. No matter how hard he pushed or how rough he was with her, she could never retaliate because he was the special one. This caused Mei to disassociate from her family.

When Koda finally left the home, Mei thought she would be relieved. She hoped her parents would finally acknowledge her as the child she wanted to be. But they were always too worried about their baby boy. They never saw her for her own troubles. The only solace she got was in the creatures around her. Mei was kind to them and they gave her the comfort she craved from her parents. But in time that desire left her and when she became an adult she'd all but turned her back on her family. Mei left her family on Air Temple Island and snuck through the Spirit portal in Republic city. She spent many years on the other side not wishing to ever return.

But something strange happened to Mei in the spirit world. She found her call to her element within the strange lands and would begin to practice her air bending. She learned from many different spirits and sages of old on ways to connect with the Air and in time eventually learned to separate herself from gravity. She'd cut all ties from her family, to her brother, to the other world. In this enlightened sense of being she was able to float without being hindered by gravity's constant pull, something only a few Air benders had ever achieved. In her pride she gave herself traditional Air Nomad tattoos only given to those who'd received the rank of master. Mei felt more than qualified to wear the symbols of her ancestors and wore them with the dignity they deserved. She then knew that she couldn't stay in the Spirit World forever and returned to Republic city to serve and protect the balance between the two realms.
