Ok. Firebending Dai Li person who has ties to Xiao's family. Sheet will be up in a little bit.

[ANate]

Player: ANate

Name: Zhan Ran-gi

Sex: Male

Age: 22

Bending (If any): Firebending

Bending subspecialty (If any): Lightning bending and redirection. Just to avoid argument, only on the scales demonstrated by the show. I'm assuming it just takes learning plus an affinity for it to do.

Non-bending combat skills: Utilizes a staff. As a travelling... scholar(? Researcher?) he has studied other cultures methods more than many others, even in this more open world. He uses a staff with his firebending, similar to the way airbenders used their gliders to channel airbending.

Other skillsets: Very good memory, especially for facts. Writes well and fast. Attention to detail.

Apperance:

I suppose that's not his casual wear (Duh.) He usually wears a light shirt, which he covers with a trench coat in cold weather. In public, he seems someone you would never expect to be second in command of a group like the Neo Dai Li.

Personality: He is, at heart, a researcher. He loves to observe others and learn from them. He has studied people all over the world, gleaning the knowledge he can from them. The reason he's in Republic City is his decision that the city's diversity is so great that he doesn't need to travel the world again fro some time. He also feels that he may get too caught up in the past and miss the new things occurring in the city, such as the pro-bending styles that are emerging.

Background: He was born into a Fire Nation family poor. But his mother was a manipulative genius, and when her husband died shortly after the birth of Rhan, she began to play the sympathy card. After that had suited her for some time, allowing her child to grow the three years old, she turned her sights on attracting either a rich man, or even better, a rich nobleman.

She succeeded. The man she had found: Xiao's oldest brother. Zhan's mother (named Duan Feng, now) allowed Xiao's brother (I'm going to call him Ning for now unless you'd rather I change it) to raise Zhan as he pleased, save one thing: he kept his surname. Zhan heard about Xiao's "incident" and believed in his disgracing the family. He doesn't know that Xiao is in Republic City, and knows only that he's missing an eye. He wouldn't recognize him on sight, and would only realize who it was if Xiao was to be called by his full name.

Zhan took in some of the harsher parts of Fire Nation ideas (those that were residual from the 100 Year War) without many noticing. At a certain age, he realized that people had changed and not everyone shared his ideas, so he made his outlook reflect what they would expect. For a short time, he left his step-father's blessing to learn about the world to further his own experience, gain contacts (for himself and his family) and become a genius and fighting expert. He wandered towards Republic City, learning on the way, but when he arrived, he decided that it was for the best that he stay there.

Contacts and affiliations: Many of his best contacts are in the Fire Nation. He can call in favors from his family, who in turn could call in Fire Nation military favors. They may also be able to do a bit of political manipulations for certain things, such as cover-ups for his Neo Dai Li operations.

((Okay, I'm open to suggestions for changes that NEED to be made. Or character details you want added.))

Player: ifaq

Name: Zikkar Sui (Zik)

Sex: Male

Age: 18

Bending (If any): Waterbending

Bending subspecialty (If any): Cloud bending: Bending water molecules within the air.

Non-bending combat skills: Skilled in close quarters combat

Other skillsets: Zik has an uncanny wit, great for depicting situations and getting himself into trouble.

Appearance: Zik generally doesn’t wear a shirt, refusing to adapt to the warmer climate. However, if given a situation a shirt is necessary, he has a traditional water tribe, blue, sleeveless top. His bottoms are always a long black pants. The only other item he sports is a chained necklace. He is traditionally dark skinned, and has the body tone of an athlete.



Personality: Many would conclude after a simple glance, that Zik was no more than a hoodlum. His very manner of carrying himself, shows an absent mind of any quality effort. Instead, he simply gives a malicious tone from his completely absent minded posture. He carried himself in an almost flamboyant breeze, no sort of aspiration to please those around him. He simply didn’t care. After just a glance, most would become weary, their suspicious were usually concluded the moment he opened his mouth. It is solely dependent on how he feels, the response you get.
most the time, he will off put any stranger with cancerous, sarcastic remarks. However, few times, mostly in the face of females, he can show a lighter side. Everything he does, is hidden behind an obvious phoney smile.

Background: Never excelling in his self taught water bending skills, Zikkar became highly dependent on witty strategies to loosen the slack created from the others around him. He began to obtain skills in utilizing the very miniscule amount of bending, at a young age.

In the water tribe of the south pole, he was quickly left behind, becoming lonely as the other kids played their homemade “Professional Bending Matches.” He would sit the sidelines, observing from his single snow made seat. It was years that his single seat become his striving point. All he wanted was to become a part of that game, to see what it was like to be noticed upon a team of exceptional benders. He kept his dreams shrouded in a smile. His folks always told him, “Don’t give up!” “You will make it someday!” The repeating phrases echoing in his mind. Reverberating off the very walls of his skull, pulverising the interior and delving holes that would leave ever empty crevices. He practiced, teaching himself anything he could, learning tricks to make up for the practical skills taught to everyone else. He was going to be a student, him mom said. He simply smiled and let her dream.

It was his childhood years that defined his true personality, causing him to act out to obtain reactions, only to be left again by those with skills. Once again, he would just smile and let it go. The age of fifteen was his defining moment. A snap in his ever canyon tattered skull. He was going to skip these petty games. He was going to become a real professional bender, screw everyone else. It was just what he did. With nothing more than letter of good riddance, he grabbed a simple bag of essential and made his way to the great city. It was time for him to become seen.

Upon entering the city, he was amazed at the vast setup and general immense setting. He felt tiny, lost and undefined in a city of defining features. Smile and move on... He quickly made his way to the arena, wasting no time with petty sightseeing. He cared not, it was his only place to go. The only thing he had any longer, was a dream. Entering the arena, was an immediate overwhelming euphoria. This was it. Home. He was instantly greeted with number of questioning bodies, wondering what a wondering waterbender wanted. Every time it was the same. He told them he was going to be a professional. Apparently, they all knew his tactics all too well, to smile and laugh, because that is what they all did. He wouldn’t take their falsified humor as an answer. He forced himself upon their training, their meetings, their livelihood.

After half a year of living under a pile of towels, and doing nothing, but training day in and out, finally he was offered a team's position. For the next half a year, he was given a position on team bearing the name Hog Monkeys. It wasn’t six months before the leading team member was injured in a battle, leaving the newly rising team to be accompanied with step in players. The team went on struggling with losses for another year, before being completely disbanded. Zik just let out a laugh, a smile on his face. He walked the roads with no where to go.

Contacts and affiliations: (As of right now, none, but it can change if someone would like to be affiliated.)

((Please let me know if I did something wrong, or need to change something...))

[Wernher]

I was worried of a lack of bender but now I think I really should have gone for the chi blocker ^^
