Originally a ghost town during the days of Avatar Aang, Tu Zin saw a small revitalization during the time of Avatar Korra. It's position on the edge of the desert made it an ideal stop for travelers attempting a crossing. Eventually, enough people would gather here that development on the town began anew, and the ghost town of Tu Zin would once again become a place that many would call home. During the Great War, the still growing town was left mostly untouched. Ignored for it's remote location and small population, many survivors in the surrounding areas, most notably the nearby city of Gao Ling, would flock here for safety. Today, Tu Zin is one of the largest settlements in the wilds and has become a well known destination in most circles surviving outside the walls of Ba Sing Se. It is regularly visited by both those seeking shelter and those who would wish to make the settlement their own. It's position nestled between a desert, an ocean and a dead city nearby has also kept it out of The Republic's eye, allowing it to flourish and become one of the last havens for Benders anywhere. The leader of this settlement is a man that goes by the name of Unye, an Earthbender. [color=666666]_ _[/color] [/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Unye.[/color] [color=666666]t1[/color] The current leader of Tu Zin. The story goes like this: Tu Zin, desperate for a way to better protect itself from raiders and dark spirits, sought the help of a Bender. Because so few existed and there had at one point been no Benders in the settlement, Tu Zin chased rumors that purposeful exposure to synergy radiation had the rare side effect of gifting bending. A group was sent to the nearby ruins of Gao Ling, an area typically avoided due to high synergy radiation and large groups of 'the Frenzy'. Their goal was the center of the city and while it was said that they all reached their goal, only Unye made it all the way back. When he returned to the settlement, he revealed himself to be an Earthbender. Since then, he's been the leader of the settlement, helping to keep it and its people safe as well as drawing the attention of other Benders seeking a safe place to call home. He's held this position for nearly two decades. It's speculated that although he's been around for quite a long time, he maintains his young appearance by some form of advanced Earthbending, though he neither confirm nor denies the allegations. [/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]The Thirsty Cactus.[/color] [color=666666]t2[/color] Not the only drinking hole in Tu Zin but by far the most popular. Situated near the center of Tu Zin at the edge of one of the squares, it sees patronage at nearly all hours of the day and is frequently packed with locals and those who travel the road. The drinks are hard and the food is great, or great as far as food is concerned in the Tu Zin. The bar and dining area are on the main floor which sees several hands helping to serve those patrons seeking shelter and food inside. The two floors above are comprised of additional rooms that can be rented overnight. The entire establishment is run by a man named Linus. Linus keeps his ears to the ground while keeping his customer's bellies full and whistles wet. He knows anything and everything about what's going on, and not just in the settlement. He does regular business with couriers from on the road, often trading a meal for the latest news or gossip. If there is something you want to know, there's some work you want to pick up or even a message you want to get out to others, checking in with Linus is usually a good first step.

The Platinum Blade is Tu Zin's one stop shop for all manner of weaponry, be it a blade or a gun. Despite its name, however, Barkus does not actually own nor does he sell any blades or guns forged from platinum. Unfortunately for him, the material is extremely rare to come across in the Wilds as it must either be processed, impossible outside Ba Sing Se, or salvaged. The same can be said for him and synergy guns. He can and does have the capacity to charge synergy batteries. Barkus, along with his brother Brootus, left Ba Sing Se years ago in the hopes of creating for themselves a better life than one under the shadow of the Republic. They took a chance, betting on survivors outside the walls of Ba Sing Se and chased after rumors of Tu Zin. Their gamble paid off when they made it to the settlement and together, they successfully opened up shop.

Ownership has recently be transferred back to his father, Taka Xio. Xio Garage mostly services the vehicles used by Tu Zin in patrols and hunting excursions and salvages most of the parts they use in repairs from abandoned vehicles dotting all over their corner of the former Earth Kingdom continent. They have a wide range of knowledge in all things mechanical and due to the nature of their work, specialize specifically in vehicular modifications for hostile encounters. Seeing as how room as has recently opened up due to a staggering loss during the last desert crossing, a spot has been made permanently available for Jin's Kyoshi should he choose to park his vehicle there.

When both he and his brother set up shop, Barkus became the settlement's weaponsmith while Brootus brought with him his years of experience in Lower Ring prosthesis installment and wearable technology. He's good with the tech, although due to a lack of help and skill in a very specific area, he cannot install the more advance prosthetics available which typically require invasive surgery. Sarah refuses to lend a hand in this regard. Besides playing with gadgets, he's also good at general repairs. If something besides a car, a gun or a broken heart needs fixing, Brootus is the one to see. For prosthetics, a consultation is usually the first step. The second is typically a list of hard to find items he'll need. [color=666666]_ _ _[/color] [/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Sarah Xio.[/color] [color=666666]t6[/color] The settlement doctor of many years and wife to Taka. She's made her living helping improve the physical and sometimes mental lives of those around her, as best she can. She's limited by her experience, her knowledge gained mostly from whatever books smuggled out of the city and the lessons passed down to her from her mother who was once a Waterbending healer. Despite having to scrape up the knowledge wherever she could find it, she's become renown for her skill and care. She uses an abundance of natural remedies that produce real results and when she can get her hands on it, can use spirit water for healing to great effect. Sarah cannot bend, but she has claimed that while she does not possess the gifts her mother did, she can still 'feel' or sense the pain. See where it is and help guide it away.
