His skin complexion varies on the seasons. In the Spring, Summer and Fall, his skin is lightly Tanned color. In the White, it's a palish white color.

Bender: Yes.
Primary Element: Fire.
Strengths: Bending the elements Fire, Lightening and Earth. Sword-fighting, armed combat. Movement. Observant.
Weaknesses: Bending the elements Water and Air, he needs a little bit more work with these elements than any other. Unarmed Combat. Friends. Caring.
Skills and Equipment: Jushin is an amazing Firebender, being at the top of his class since he was seven years of age. He even knows how to bend Lightening, which he does do unless he is really angry or he is challenged by another Fire Nation member, or anyone else for that matter. He carries around the picture of his dead Mother. He also carries around arrow darts, which are tucked into his boots and even a Katana sword, which was handcrafted for him after he was announced being the Avatar.

Brief History: The previous Avatar died, so everyone knew that the next Avatar would be born into the Fire Nation. Jushin was born unexpectedly one night, he wasn't due for another month. When he was born, his Mother died two hours later from exhaustion. This crushed his Father and the Fire Nation as a whole. Growing up, Jushin didn't have a normal childhood, he wasn't in school, never went outside and hardly ever played with the other kids. He always knew that their was something different about him. It wasn't until the age of five, when his father started training him on how to fire bend. His Father took him to the limits, meaning that they would train all day and night. This went on until Jushin spoke of going to school, which his Father instantly declined. Jushin just shrugged it off, but one night, he sneaked out and went to the library, where he read all night. He even fell asleep in there and was found by the book keeper. His Father wasn't pleased but he did want Jushin to go to school now, after the incident. Jushin made new friends, even had a crush on a girl. He was finally having the childhood that he wanted, that he solely deserved. Jushin quickly rose up to the ranks in school, being head of his class at the age of ten. He remained at the top, until the age of thirteen, where his life would be flipped upside down. He was told that he was the new Avatar. At first, he couldn't and didn't believe them, thought it was a joke. But in reality, he really was the Avatar. His Father always knew that there was something about him that he has always liked. So his life was changed, he had to travel to every single Nation, to learn their arts of bending. There, he made new friends as well and was even sad to leave them behind. When he returned to the Fire Nation, everything was still. He didn't know what had happened until someone finally told him. His Father had died after an attack from the Chi Blockers. This crushed Jushin, who was now eighteen years of age. He wouldn't come out of his room, to eat or cook, nor for a celebration. He stayed in his room, reading, writing and drawing about his adventures at the other Nations. He didn't even try to bend the other elements after his Father's death. He is now twenty-one, the world was at peace until there was heard of a group of Chi Blockers rising up and planning on taking out every bender, except the leaders, or masters. Jushin has to get back into the art of bending the other elements before it is too late.

[Vena Sera IV]

"Relax, we'll get through this!"

Hiro sports dark brown, medium length hair that is often unkempt, the bangs of which falling around his ears and to the middle of his neck. His skin tone, an unnaturally tanned color for a member of the Water Tribe, complements his hair but contrasts with his cool, soft blue eyes. He is not extremely fit, though does sport some muscle and definition, and stands at a modest five feet ten inches. If one sees his back, they will notice a small scar, roughly four inches in length, running along the back of his right hip, a result of early training mistakes.

Hiroshi Namasaki

Alias: Hiro
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bi-curious
Personality: Hiroshi is a quiet yet energetic, loving to be active and as a result can be a bit impatient. Friendly to a fault, he gives trust easily, though can hold a grudge if said trust is betrayed. While he treats others well, he is self critical, often making strong notes of any of his shortcomings, however minor they may be. He can also become stressed rather easily, finding it difficult to relax for a while after the fact. Shy around people he doesn't know, he will tend to act a bit immature to make them laugh, finding it far easier to interact with them then. His life in the Water Tribe has taught him to be self sufficent, though he'll accept outside help he usually relies on his own skills, unless he absolutely knows he can not do it. He is also noted to be a bit nervous, particularly in new environments. This might be attributed to most of his life being spent at home.
Potential Interest: None yet

+Surfing: In his home village he would often use sheets of ice as a board, he loves being on the water.
+Reading: There's nothing like getting lost in a good book, fiction or non-fiction.
+Animals: Adores being outdoors, particularly to be near the wildlife. Note he does still eat animals, he simply finds them fascinating.
-Ignorant People: Everyone should keep an open mind, otherwise they're not worth his time.
-Hectic schedules: He takes his time on almost everything. As a result, too much on his plate makes him stress a lot, something he obviously dislikes.
-The dark: Though he'd be unwilling to admit it, Hiroshi is actually afraid of the dark. He will often curl up to feel secure when he's in a dark space.




Bender: Yes
Primary Element: Water
Strengths: Waterbending, some healing capabilities, unarmed combat, a bit more acclimated to harsh environments than most, loyal
Weaknesses: Trusting to a fault, gullible, fear of the dark can be manipulated, shyness gets in the way of working with new people.
Skills and Equipment:Hiroshi is an adept waterbender, not quite the best but fairly close to it. He has an expansive knowledge of healing abilities, able to do a few himself. He always carries a small leather-made flask with water in it for emergency purposes.

Brief History: Hiroshi was born in the Nothern Water Tribe, son of a warrior and healer, the latter of which he would inherit his abilities from. Growing up he was relatively average, never excelling nor failing in any kind of training activities. His parents had hopes for him, though they were well aware of his shy and nervous disposition. Hoping to help him phase out of that they enrolled him to train with other, younger students as an assitant to the teachers. He did open up a bit more as a result, also showing more promise in bending than he ever did in warrior training. He discovered his healing abilities through this, as a student would inevitably hurt himself on accident, getting an unpleasant cut by playing with ice shards. With his newfound ability discovered Hiroshi was instead sent as an apprentice to the tribe's only other healer. While he did enjoy being able to help, and he was beginning to make a few friends as a result of his ability he wanted to have a more private lifestyle. Largely cut off from the outside world, the tribe had no idea that Chi blockers had begun small attacks, and inevitably a group of them would come to his home. Though they managed to fend off the attackers, many people found themselves without bending, and as a result the tribe was ever so more vulnerable. What troubled them more, however, was they had learned of the Blocker's plans to strike at the Avatar. Finding that the Avatar was in the Fire Nation, the tribe unanimously elected Hiroshi to travel to the other nation to aid him, knowing he could be an apt tutor for waterbending and his unique abilities would be helpful. Reluctant but not wanting to displease his tribe he accepted, and is now on his way to meet the Avatar, and inevitably be caught in a war he does not fully understand.

"Why couldn't I have just been content with being a housewife..."

Spoiler

Konstantine is a woman of tall stature, her last recorded height being 5'11 and although, she'd never divulge her true weight, Konstantine's body is almost purely composed of tightly toned muscles, from constant training. Her bust size is unusually large and inconvenient to the skilled chi-blocker, so during mercenary work are usually bound down. Her hair reaches past her back and is a noir as a raven's wing. Overall, she has an aesthetically pleasing face, large brown eyes with thick eyelashes framing them, a small button nose, high cheek bones, a distinctive jawline and well shaped lips. She consistently wears a tightly fitted sand-colored shirt, which ends a couple inches below her breasts. Overtop of her "shirt" is a mauve and gold,oversized, (chinese) oriental shirt, originally designed for men, which is always left open. She wears a pair of black harmen pants and the wooden sandles of an elderly farmer, fitted for comfort. Her accessories are mainly composed of two, large dragon earings, and a large straw farmer's hat.

Konstantine Reknia Sentakku

Alias: Tine, Konsta,Kon
Age: 24
Gender: female
Sexuality: Too tired to care...
Personality: Konstantine is a laid back type of woman, never sweating the smalls things and selectively forgetting the rest. So, it only makes sense that her memory is awful when it comes to names and faces, so she often nicknames her comrades to avoid offending them. She 's a whimsical woman, often too concern with irrelevant things to socialise with others. Konstantine seems to inert to awkwardness and will often perpetuate blisteringly uncomfortable silences and often will say irrelevant or inappropriate comments during conversation. And no matter how much she sleep, she constantly seems fatigued, and her poor posture and droopy eyes reflect it. Even in battle, she tends to keep her hands in her pocket for the first couple of minutes. Although it might not be so oblivious, Konstantine is a confident and happy lady

Brief History: Konstantine was born in Omashu, southwest of the Kolau Mountains arid mountain ranges with sparse grasslands. Her parents earned money by farming, while her siblings took care of the local shrines. Her life was peaceful and uneventful until a power gang of rampant benders decided to try and take Omashu as their own. It was a 2 week sacking, water, food and other supplies were cut off from the city before the gang attacked, easily over throwing the weakened city. Her parents feared for Constantine's life and during the midst of the sacking, evacuated her to her aunt's house. The last time Constantine saw her parents was before the gang invaded Omashu. To this day, she doesn't know if her parents survived the attack.

She lived with her aunt for two years before Konstantine was introduced to Chi-blocking. Turns out, the Sentakku family was famous for more than their cabbages. Throughout history, some of the greatest Chi-blockers the 4 nations have ever known have been Sentakku. Their training methods were bizarre and intense, to make sure that all aspects of the art were imprinted in the minds of its' trainees. It took over a decade of constant training to become who she know is. She left home when she was twenty to pursue free-range mercenary work.

[SlowPlow]

"Any rock is a thing of beauty, if one knows how to look at it."

Yong is 6,3ft tall. Big and burly, he towers above most in both width and height. He has a layer of fat on him, but he can't be called fat. "Thick" would be the right word to define his body by. His strength comes from the many days spent carrying rocks or hammering at them. He has black, short hair and a dominating black beard. His face has hard features, angular to the point it appears to be carved from stone rather than flesh. He generally looks much warmer than the above picture might suggest, unless he's angry. Usually, he wears a dark green tunic and trousers. Important: does not wear apron.

Yong Wu

Alias: Sculpter Wu, or simply the Sculptor
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Bender: Yes
Primary Element: Earth
Potential Interest: N/A

Personality:

Yong wants to appear old, wise and in control of himself, but he seldomly manages it, as he's prone to ragefilled rants and near childish stubbornness. And when he's angry or stubborn, he becomes even more enraged, because he knows he's not appearing neither old nor wise. He's temperamental, to say the least, and more stubborn than most rocks. Yong is on the more conservative side, enjoying moderation and tradition. When someone is behaving against his principles he often tells them, in a heated manner, exactly what he feels about it, further ruining his desired image. He's not all anger, though. One of the few things which gives him nothing but peace is stone. Rock and earth, he believes, are the greatest building blocks of the world, and sometimes he will simply sit and look at a mountain or a boulder, lost in philosophic pondering. When Yong does something, he does it with time and care, reflected upon both his work and his Bending. He doesn't decide on a whim whether to do one thing or another, spending rather more time contemplating before acting. And when he's not either angry or looking at rocks, he's generally in a good mood, appreciating for instance a joke or two.

Likes/dislikes:

+ Compliments, especially on his wisdom
+ Humor, especially profound antics or jokes, not quick wit
+ Working with stone, Yong is a sculptor at heart, and loves to use and shape stone
+ Giving advice, especially to people younger than him

- Scantily clad women, he will telll them exactly what he thinks about it
- Feminine men/masculine women, he thinks each gender should stick to its traditional traits
- Open waters, this he dislikes and fears
- Reading, he prefers to learn through dialogue and imagery


Strengths:

• Can reach deep into the earth
• Can bend an imposing amount at a time
• Specializes in avalanches, small earthquakes and the forming of huge constructs
• Physical strength

Weaknesses:

• Bad at Bending quickly
• Bad at smaller, detailed Bending
• Worse at Bending less solid forms of Earth, e.g. sand or soil
• Easily annoyed and/or angered

Skills and Equipment:

Yong is an acknowledged stone sculptor, which is how he makes his living, though he only does larger work with Bending. Smaller work, he's forced to do by hand due to his inability for detailed Bending. Therefore, although he's an Earthbender, he always carries around hammer, chisel and riffler. Beyond that, he has a leather backpack containing the beforementioned tools and basic travel equipment.

Brief History:

Yong Wu grew up with his father, mother and two elder brothers in a moderately sized town in the Earth Kingdom. His father worked as a stone sculptor and had his own shop, where when Yong was younger would come to look at his father work. He was fascinated by the way a simple rock found outside could be turned into something even more beautiful. While his brothers were out playing, and later chasing girls, Yong would sit and watch his father hammer and file lumps of rock into things of art. Most things often annoyed him or made him angry, but when he watched his father work, he never cried. From a very early age he knew that he wanted to become a stone sculptor. Little else seemed to interest him. As he grew older, he was taught by his father, and practiced at it every day. He became better and better at it, and by the time he was a teenager he was assisting his father in the shop. But then one day, he discovered a greater talent. None in his family were Earthbenders, so when they found out, his parents were overjoyed. They proceeded with sending him away to a Master, paying what they had to afford it for him. They had hopes he would become a warrior of the Earth Kingdom, to bring their family honor. Although Yong did have a desire to become a good Bender, he had no desire whatsoever to become a soldier. He only wanted to shape stone, not use it for destruction.

Yet as he grew from teen to man under his Master's teachings, he learned hard lessons. "To create something, you sometimes have to destroy first", his Master had said. The same went if you wanted to stay alive, or keep what was yours. He had often said that the world was not only filled with kind people. Some would steal rather than earn, and desperate men could do anything. One should not be distrusting, but wary. And in worst cases, defend oneself. In situations like those, destruction could be very handy indeed. Yong swallowed his Master's words whole and began looking up to him, hoping that he someday could be as wise. But he only had hopes. As it was, he was being scolded by his Master for "shouting more often than speaking" and "having tantrums more befit a child". When his apprenticeship was done, he returned to his home town far more knowledgeable than when he left. Whatever his Master had taught him though, he still had no desire to use his Earthbending mainly as a weapon. He would not become a soldier, but a sculptor. And with jaws set and arms crossed, his parents knew further argument would be pointless.

Yong picked up where had left off, continuing to practice sculpting. This time around though, he spent half the time out in the barrens, practicing the shaping of much larger constructs than in his father's workshop. Hovels he made, even towers, and statues. But he also practiced destruction. When that was his aim, the ground would tremble for half a mile in each direction. For many years this was his life, becoming better and better at his work and Bending until he was a better sculptor than his father had ever been. Nearing his mid thirties though, he decided he couldn't stay holed up in this town all his life. He dreaded going to his deathbed without having seen the far and wide of the world. And he had to do so while he was still in his prime, he reasoned. So did it happen that he began his long walk, which he had noe idea where would lead him.

Juan Lang

Alias: N/A
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual
Personality: Juan is calm, mature and subtle; she would not take two stones when one would do the job. She is usually calm and composed, capable of keeping her tongue held when it is required. Like many airbenders she desires freedom and to detach herself from the world and achieve spiritual enlightenment. Similarly meditating, patience and tolerance are all traits she practices. She is fond of strategy and observation as she believes thinking and tactics will offer an individual more from life than a hardy brawl. Also like many airbenders she is not supportive of violence but neither is she completely against it. Juan does believe that there are some things that can only be solved through combative means. Despite her genial attitude she is a bit of a cynic, which is a fact she is not proud of. She is also known to have a very odd sense of humor.

Brief History: Juan Lang was not born among the air nomads; in fact she was born far from any of the temples, in the heart of the Earth Kingdom. Her father, however, was a monk formally from one of the air temples and his mother was a peasant from an Earth Kingdom city. Because of her natural talent for airbending she would often spend the days of her early childhood training with her father until returning home for dinner. But her desire to roam freely was intoxicating and soon she and her father left to travel around the world (her mother opted to stay at home). Traveling was a joy to her and it took up the latter part of her childhood. Around the time she turned fifteen her father became ill and they returned to the village, she later left again on her own. After a short journey around the world she traveled to the Eastern Air Temple so that she would be able to learn airbending from some other teachers as well.
