[OOC]Without an Avatar.

[Suspect]

Just because someone turns in a Character Sheet, doesn't mean that they are accepted.

The IC Thread!






Republic City, Avatar Aang’s dream, where benders and non-benders of every nation can gather and live together in peace. Seventy years ago, he began his work for it, and now, Republic City is the hub for the world. Benders and non-benders live alongside each other in the sprawling metropolis that represents the best technology, the summit of fashion and design, and the height of all things in the world.

It is also one of the most corrupt, dangerous places in the world. The Triple Threat Triad. The Police Force. Everything just under the surface of Republic City reeks of the same rotten fruit of backroom deals and greased hands that the other great cities of the world do. Republic City is far from a safe haven for all – the gangs extort money, muggers stalk the nighttime streets, and now, Equalists roam with relative impunity, striking quickly with chi-blocking attacks, temporarily taking away the bending of any bender they come into contention with.

But if one turns a blind eye, Republic City is a haven. The problems are only there if you look. And some people prefer not to look. They prefer to go to the Pro Bending Arena and watch matches there, or to the gardens, or to any number of the attractions of the City and just forget about the strife, the problems, the gangs and the Equalists.

The problem remains.

And without the new Avatar, a water bender missing from the ruckus, the City will have to deal with this messy situation all on their own.

*Small Notes:
1. This is a Legend of Korra roleplay.
2. However, there will be no Amon, and no Avatar in play. Because I say so. Along the same lines, there will be no “show” characters involved. No Mako, Bolin, Tahno, etc. This thread is essentially exploring what would happen to Republic City if the Avatar had never come.
3. Feel free to play any “type” of character. With the Equalists, remember than any removal of bending will be temporary. No permanent bending removal, and for benders.
4. Pro Bending will be featured in the thread but it will only be mentioned. I far prefer to explore the story of Republic City rather than the story of the Pro Bending Tournament.
5. Will I allow your character to be involved in Pro Bending? Yes, they can be.

10. To avoid constant dialogue between two characters, get together and do a collaboration post please. Don't want the IC flooded with that dialogue.

"It takes inner peace...Most of the time."
"Ty...Just Ty."
"Ty's hair is slightly lighter than the picture and she isn't quite as pale. She stands around 5"6 and is a small build. Ty is a petite girl, but despite such, she is pretty strong. On her right arm, is a burn scar that goes from her elbow to her shoulder. It was so generously given to her by a fire bender in a fight they had. She doesn't notice it much anymore though."
"19."
"Air Bender."
"Despite her air abilities, she also carries two daggers that are hidden in her sleeves. "
"Ty is a laid back, sarcastic person. And she isn't much for words. She is kind to people who are kind to her and so forth. Ty is a strong person, showing little emotion. She has seen way too many bad things, like people getting their bending stolen, or gangs attacking citizens, to have a jolly attitude. But she doesn't have a sour one. Ty looks at everything truthfully, and gets straight to the point. "
The shadows are her strength, staying silent and erasing her breath, sneaking up on her opponents when they attack. Her weakness is the fear of dying. Not death itself, but dying. "
"Ty was an orphan, but that didn't cause her to have a tragic background or flaw. She only accepted it. After the age of ten, she was adopted by a nice old non-bending woman. To 'pay the woman back', Ty was more there to help when she needed. By the age of Her history isn't talked about very much because she believes there's nothing to it. Which in hindsight, it's basically about an adopted girl who helped out an old lady most of her life. By the age of sixteen, the woman had died and Ty was on her own. It's nothing depressing, but nothin too great either. She has gotten by, by working at a tea shop. "

It was quiet. A surprise for such a busy city. One lone girl, with deep blue eyes and mid length black hair, stood atop a domed shaped building. She stood on one foot, with her eyes closed, balancing herself. She took a huge breath and opened her eyes with a slight smirk. Then, the loud sounds of a car horn piercing through the air startled the air bender, causing her to lose balance. "Dang it..." That was all that escape her lips as she floated down to the safety of the ground. Well, there was always next time.

Now, the blue-eyed girl walked through the market place. "Good Morning miss." "Nice seeing you again!" "Hi Ty!"
Ty. That was her name. Nothing more, and nothing less. She gave a smile as her greeting, only there to walk through. Ty was on a mission, or at least a task of the day. She wanted to go to the Pro-Bending Arena. It was the final match ups. Who would want to miss that? With that thought in mind, Ty sped up her carefree pace to a speed walk. Days like that day were such nice days to be outside. Other times- especially at night- was when the bad guys loved to play. And the Equalists searched for easy prey. Days like that, Ty tried staying home and out of the way.

The Arena was already packed, so finding a good seat proved to be difficult. Then the tournament began. It was a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Each attack, had Ty on the edge of her seat. Would they fall? Would they advance?
Secretly, she had trained for the Arena...but never could seem to "get the courage" to join. Maybe one day she would.

Eh, hope this is okay

[Suspect]

I fixed it. It's suppose to be description of character Appearance. When you add that, you might be accepted. ^^

[AkiBlue]

And edited~

[GreenGoat]

Still room for one more? I'd like to try my hand at an Adv RP. Oh, and if you dont like the idea of an inexperienced RPer like me entering just say so lol.

[Suspect]

I can give you a shot, throw up a CS. LOL.

[GreenGoat]

Ok. imma go write up something


"Go away."
"Arrtelo Ginka or Arrt"
"She is a bit short for her age, and would usually wear the clothes depicted everyday for most kinds of situations. She would often be seen with a slightly annoyed look on her face. She is missing one of her front canine teeth.."
"24"
"Earth Bending, some martial arts training from an old fisherman"
"A medallion she punched out of someone."
"She is straight up unfriendly, thinking only for herself, and herself only, though she protects her few friends because they 'belong to her'. Losing in anything is unforgivable to her, she hates being surpassed, and she especially hates those holier than thou people. Only very few earns her respect, and most deserve only her contempt. She is prideful arrogant, and very confident in herself. She, however, isn't the kind of people to flaunt her strength, and would usually just regard people with silent contempt. Usually rough, unrefined and violent, her upbringing did teach her some manners, and she can be very charming and refined when she needs to be."
"+Strong willed
+Unlikely to give up
+- Stubborn
-Cares only for herself(+and a select few)
-Arrogant
-Prideful
"
"She is the granddaughter of a successful merchant, and rich enough to be asked to some of the more....posh parties and feast for the nobilities. She did not take to this well however, finding it rather boring and stale, especially with all the intrigue going on. One day however, her father was threatened by one of the Triple Threat Triad goons, and her house was torn apart. Using what she little she knew of bending, she managed to chase the goons away, though not without some damage to their properties.
The Triple Threats have more pull than Arrt and her family knew however, and their business was swiftly taken down, and destroyed.
They tried to restart their business, but was left too destitute to even get a decent stall. Out of desperation, Arrtelo joined underground fighting rings, fighting against other people for money. Sometimes she lost, sometimes she won, and she clawed out a living for her and her family. She hated her family then for being such a burden, unable to do anything else. Soon she gathered a sizable amount of money, enough to move and restart the business elsewhere. Unfortunately the Triple Threat goons heard about it, and showed up in front of their dilapidated house, asking for 'a small tax of goodwill'.

It was then that her parents died in the fighting, and she was left washed up near an old fisherman's house.

"

Death was coming.

She stared defiantly at the figures ahead, as she slowly entered the horse stance. They had been chasing her for sometime, and had cornered her here in this alley. Members of the Triple Threat Triads, wearing their clothes and sporting that annoying confident grin. They chuckled and started to approach slowly, the leader sparking up a fireball with one hand.

They were not men to be taken lightly by ordinary people.

However, she wasn't at all ordinary. Pulling her left hand back, and thrusting her right palm outwards, a pillar of stone shot out of the ground straight at the leader. Deceptively agile, he simply somersaulted over the pillar, as the others dodged to the side. Her left hand shot upwards, deflecting the fiery fist the leader threw at her, as her right hand pulled back. With another step forwards, her left hand pulled the leader towards her, as her right fist slammed into his midsection. As he went down, Arrt barely registered the jet of water before it hit her squarely in the head, disorienting her. Barely having time to recoil from the attack, another man kicked her straight in the jaw, sending her flying deeper into the alley.

She crashed against a few dumpster with a loud noise, startling a few stray cats away.

The leader spat some blood from his mouth, an annoyed look now on his face. His subordinates cracked a joke and they laughed, as the leader started to scowl. They were dangerous, unpredictable, deadly....

...and off guard.

With a grin on her bloodied face, she raised her both her hands and slammed them together. The very walls of the alley shook, and tore themselves from their foundations, closing in on the horrified Triad members.

Death was coming.

There, I hope this is ok.

*cough*

[GreenGoat]

Huh. I assumed my CS was so bad it caused a nuclear reaction and killed everyone in the fallout.

[AkiBlue]

I'm still alive. That counts for something!

Psh, it's not even that bad.
