Name: Xiao Xi Kwan
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Nationality: Earthkingdom
Traits:
-Strength. Not only has he gained a substantial amount of muscle much like his other siblings due to hard farm work, but has gone as far out to personally expand it by constant physical training whenever he had the chance.
-Unarmed combat. Learnt after discovering his earthbending skills never seemed to get stronger then allowing him to be only move a pebble, he began leaning towards other forms of fighting. One that didn't rely on bending. Knowing his chances were low in a fight with a bender unless his skills exceeded more then the ordinary he devoted all his training into unarmed combat.
Appearance: Xi is a rather burly looking man, spotting a seemingly well kept contour cut on his head and a scruff of a beard that's he regularly trims and keeps in a clean condition. Clearly very proud of both. He reaches up to about 6.3 feet making him the tallest, even if by a little, of his siblings.
History: Xian being the eldest of the Kwan siblings meant he instantly felt a great amount of responsibility over them. He joyfully welcomed each new individual as they kept popping into the family year after year. The instinct of acting as the role of protector over his younger siblings caused him to began training his all round frame from an early age, causing him to be bulky even in his teen years which he perfected over the years.
As much as Xian seemed to be the loving and caring type around his siblings, he couldn't help but mistreat most strangers. Since his youth he's had a very Fiery temper, having made raising him from childhood very difficult for his parents. He was very soon branded as the nearby villages bully. Picking on all weaker and even just as strong as him. To allow this he always tried keeping his physical strength more advanced then the one of the other kids. Him and his siblings hard working on the farm helping him succeed with this. Constant reports of him being involved in and even being the cause of scruffs and fights in the nearby village by not being able to control his temper put a lot of stress on his parents, mainly his mother who was often in labor. This resulted in often deserved, tough loving, beatings brought down on him by his mother.
The arrival of the earthbending teacher that was instructed to teach him and his siblings bending spiked his curiosity, being able to earthebend surely would make him stronger then the others? Sadly his lack of control over most of his actions, feelings, and mainly temper made it very difficult for him to learn much from the teacher. The only earthebending he learnt from
Shing Mu was only being able to move a simple pebble. Frustrated he gave up on learning bending at that point, refusing to take apart in any more teachings the "Stupid old man" had to offer. Soon however his lack of earthbending began taking notice, watching his younger siblings and even afew kids from the nearby village be able to earthbend envoked jealousy in him, he began getting bested by the kids in the village that could earthbend. He no longer felt powerful and strong both things he wanted to be... -needed- to be.
He lost his cheery, over-energetic, easily excited attitude. There would be no way he'd be able to best any sort of bender if he couldn't bend himself. His change of mood was certainly noticeable. Anytime anyone attempted to speak to him about this matter he'd dismiss it and get angered. However soon he had the self-realization that he couldn't let the fact he was incapable of earthbending infact didn't mean the end. Infact it meant if he were to somehow overpower and overcome someone, it would be much more admirable. So from then on after regaining his old self he devoted all the spare time for training he had into unarmed combat.

Our final member's CS. I'll have him post it himself when he's online again and I'll edit it out of this post, but you'll be able to see the CS beforehand.
In my next post (after Biscuits has made any changes that need to be done to his app and has been accepted AND posted himself) I'll be picking up the sleeping jun, continuing our trek and happening upon the cave system, where TEAM OSTRICH will become hopelessly lost and, sooner-or-later, bump into the Rising.
I fully expect them to be apprehended or something, walking in without recruitment could mean phoenix kingdom spies. We'll find a way out of that, somehow; after all, they all really want to help in the Rising.
