CS:
Appearance:



Tangerine colored eyes is from his father Mako, along with the light skin and red scarf. Standing at 6 feet with a thin build, Zakeo is only 180 lbs. He keep his hair short like his father's style but is much darker since his mother was from the fire nation. An easily feature to identify is his eyebrows at like his father's. Those that see him often say he's Mako's spitting image. It irritates him to no end. However one can tell Zakeo has much slimmer features, especially in the face.

He wears mostly long sleeve things that are rolled up to the elbow and shorts that reach just past the knees. He prefers open toe shoes cause he's accidentally burned more than a couple pairs of shoes with fire bending. The summer look is a thing with him since he claims that it gets too hot to wear so many layers.

Formal Wear:
(Worst Best hand me down ever)
Name: Zakeo
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Bender?: yes
Bending Style: Firebending
Personality: Silent - Thinking - Picky. Zakeo lacks the work ethic of his father but only cause he doesn't want to spend all of his time on a job. His dream so far is to just be good at something easy. But one day he'll learn what it means to be the son of a former pro-bender.
History: Zakeo is Mako's second born son. However, his dad's lack of strong relationship skills caused a divide between his parents which ended in separation. Zakeo went with his father instead of his mother when he was 13 but that hasn't helped them bond at all since his dad is constantly working. So the young fire bender made the most of it by spending his time reading books, going places he wasn't supposed to, and hanging out with his uncle at the Pro-Bender league. He moved in with Akito cause it was a lot better living with an older brother who was actually around to talk to.
Other: Totally Akito's little brother.

@All Accepted!

@Slendy I want to keep everything with characters related to the canon's a chance meeting so like if Li met Akito then maybe Li could visit his house with Lei and meet Mako who recognizes Lei as Korra or something

@Leda You are also accepted I thought i saw your CS here but I remembered it was in OOC

Bender?: yes

Personality: short temper, stubborn, socially awkward, protective, introverted
History: Kushala came from the earth kingdom with her younger sister at 12. Her parents were equalists who threw them out on the streets for being earthbenders. She took her sister and moved to republic city doing odd jobs around the city for money, eventually she fell in with wrong crowd, and started working for the triple threat triad until she was 16.

Formal Wear:
Name: Zavara
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Bender?: Yes
Bending Style: Air bending
Personality: Very strong willed but not unable to take orders from someone. He often times tries to get people to see things his way but if it seems no one is budging on the idea he'll just let it go. He will often act very serious and stern when not being talked to but in conversations his stone cold exterior gives way to his go-lucky personality.
History: Zavara was supposedly born in Republic city but he isn't entirely sure as his parents had moved around a lot before he was born. He grew up his entire life in Republic city with never leaving the city he called home. At a very early age Zavara took an interest in pro-bending tournaments but realized that he could never compete due to the competition restrictions on airbenders but that didn't dampen his enthusiasm towards the sport and he regularly attends the tournaments.
Other:
-He ALWAYS wears a wingsuit under his clothes, only taking it off to bathe. He wears it to bed and to every occasion from formal events to children's parties.
-He prefers earth bender fashion over the typical robes and such of airbenders.

accepted @rocketrobie2

Appearance: Liang stands just barely over 5 feet. Her face is quite pretty - though little scar runs from the left tip of her mouth to her chin. Her eyes are golden in color. Liang keeps her black hair cut very short from the front and the longer back part is held on a bun most of the time.

Her left arm is missing - having been cut off just above the elbow in a horrible freak accident caused by an opposing team's blatant cheating. Liang wears a sort of prosthetic arm which she either tucks in one of her coat pockets or fixes behind her back if she has to participate in a formal event. During casual events and everyday life she either wears a blue jacket with it's left sleeve tucked in a manner which hides the stump of her arm, or a bit longer red coat with the sleeve fixed in a similar manner.

In addition to the coat or jacket Liang usually wears either gray or black pants with knee high boots that have a large buckle at the front and a red sleeveless shirt.

Formal Wear: Liang very rarely participates in formal events, but if need be her red coat is just about formal enough looking to be used in such events when paired with a knee length skirt and some reasonably stylish shoes.

Name: Liang Xian
Age: 28
Gender: female
Bender?: Formerly
Bending Style: Fire
Personality: Liang is a very quick thinker, she's able to come up with a strategy at a moment's notice. She trusts her friends - or nearly everyone who shows atleast some kindness to her - more than anyone and does her best to never let their hopes down. When she was still able to firebend her rather volatile temperament often made her attacks rather unpredictable.

History: Liang Xian was born and raised in the Republic city to a relatively wealthy - if not overtly so - family of mixed heritage. Her father had been an above average pro-bender - he actually was the original captain of the Leaping Lion-Turtles well to his 50's until his back simply couldn't manage the work as a member of the Metalbending Police Force and his hobby of pro-bending. Her mother had tried her best not to encourage Liang in to following at her father's footsteps and instead work with the electric company she was working in. Their daughter however was enamored with the sport the moment she saw her first mach and after some arguing, a few tantrums and other such happenings Liang took over the captaincy and the legacy of the Leaping Lion-Turtles at the young age of 16.

The new generation of the Lion-Turtles was a true force to be reckoned with - even though they were relatively young and at first quite untalented the group won their first championship during their first year and went on to dominate the Pro-Bending scene for the next 3 years. Their magnificent streak of victories and domination - which came at first from a combination of their opponents underestimating them and their skill and Liang's tactical thinking and later their near unrivaled teamwork and downright amazing stunts and sheer strength - came to a rather gruesome end.

The opposing team cheated their way to a tiebreaker round where Liang faced the opposing team's firebender. Their match was very even until the opposing team's earthbender used a sharpened stone disc to brutally maim her arm. The opposing team was immediately disqualified and the Metalbending Police Force quickly took them in to custody. The Leaping Lion-Turtles won the championship at the cost of Liang's dominant arm and her ability to Firebend.

Occasionally Liang has tried to firebend again - with disappointing results. It's not quite known if the block on her bending is caused by physical or mental damage, but by now she has given up on trying to get the ability back and instead has focused on other things like teaching herself an effective one armed self defense style based on firebending forms.

Other: Though she often claims that she's just fine nowadays without her firebending she still feels somehow empty inside - not that she allows anyone to see it.

CS:
Appearance: -Jin is short, only 5 feet, and quite petite. She wears her black hair in a short, ragged style, and has deep blue eyes and darker skin that marks her as part of the Water Tribes, in blood at least. In the right clothes, she looks like a boy. Even in her own clothing, she looks closer to male than female.

Formal Wear: Doesn't own any.
Name: Jin Shui / Liu-Hai, The Flying Frog
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Bender?: None
Skills (instead of bending style?): Jin is very good at lying and acting, able to fit into many roles with ease, as long as she does enough watching. She is incredibly agile to her small size and low weight, able to run and dart around with ease. She can also jump quite high, which is where one of her nicknames came from. Her hands are small, and she can sneak things from people's pockets without much effort. She is also excellent with sleight of hand tricks and juggling, which is a decent way to distract people in the chase of a larger con.

Jin also has an innate sense for numbers, able to do large equations in her head. Her most untapped gift is in mechanics. She loves to take apart things that she scavenges- old radios, trinkets and toys, and has no issues putting them back together. She would love to get her hands on a real Satomobile and see what makes it work.

Personality: Jin's personality varies depending on the situation. On the 'job', she is focused and driven. When she's trying to con someone, she is charm and smoothness, or slyness, or innocence- whatever is required to get her payday.

When she isn't out stealing, she is generally a quiet sort. She doesn't trust strangers, especially people that she considers 'rich'. If said rich person can prove themselves to be not a snob or a jerk, Jin will try to relax. Her prejudices do cloud her judgement very hard, though.

History: Jin's parents, Jasmine and Anchor, lived in Republic City. Her father was a waterbender who worked in the police force as a detective, and her mother was a firebender who loved to make and fire her own pottery. They were a happy family, and even happier when baby Jin was born.

Unfortunately, the Equalist movement's early days spoiled all of that. Jasmine and Anchor were murdered one night in their home, simply for being a happy, mixed-nation bending couple: the anti-thesis of what the Equalists stood for. Five year old Jin escaped the Equalists because they simply didn't know she existed. She awoke during the attack, but didn't come out until her parents were dead. After that, she ran away, into the Republic City night.

Thirteen years of survival have made Jin smart, savvy, and hard-wired for doing whatever it takes to stay alive. She has gone from starving to stealing, and from barely having enough for herself to handing it out to others. She works the middle and upper class areas, stealing from people. She leaves a small metal or wood disc with the image of a flying frog in it.
