Also, some of the hawks know where they're going. Very specially trained. They recognize faces and smells. It's doubtful Baqwis's group wouldn't have been picked, not saying the target was Baqwis, but that someone in his group probably was the target. So, if your bending potential/skill is there but not a commonly known thing, you'll get a letter.

I know the pace has been slow, but we will give a little time to get everyone started. When we get off of the ground, we'll see how things float.

Alrighty! I'll have the hawk fly to her. Ave's bending and fighting is known in Hava, but not really elsewhere.

EDIT: So, uhhh... What's the scroll say? Like, a meeting place for the Jasmine Dragon?

It's in it's own little box in the first post.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Ave and Sonam are not going to like each other one bit, if the personality from your original post is going to hold out.

Just finished editing my first post. Sonam is a military machine. There's no way she's going to "appreciate" Ave's flippant attitude. It'll be fun! :D

It will! Nothing like a little drama to keep things interesting. Not only is she a military machine, she's learning the old ways of the Air Temple monks. So much discipline. SO much clash. :p

I'm back, I see the IC is up.... hmm what am I supposed to be posting?

So we have an airbender who wishes that she was an earthbender, and an earthbender who fights like an airbender (or waterbender, or lightningbender, etc.)...
I think this will be a very fun RP :-)

I agree.

and, Origin, I suppose you should be posting your character's response to receiving a letter from the Jasmine Dragon?

Hey, just a side note. There are no non-benders outside of the non-bending nations. Advanced genetics have pretty much eliminated non-benders coming from bending nations. There are really weak benders but no non-benders.

Don't forget that even though she wishes she was an earthbender, she thinks she's a god-status airbender! ;D Even though she's completely wrong.

Sweet just posted :)

Hmm, now what to do.... *ponders over new post*

Hey all. I see everyone is posted, I think. Or at least everyone who has a CS. Please correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a long day and Java screws with a man's mind. Anyways, I plan to post a plot advancement post a little later tonight. I will be assuming you are all on the island, and no one has yet found the underground fortress. (Hint, Sonam is closest). So if any of you would like to post about your travels or anything else, please post before later tonight (idk, 4-5 hours from now). If you have not posted, you will be assumed to be wandering around a marketplace, and you will be brought to the WarChamber.

Hey sorry guys. I won't get the plot progression up tonight. It's like 3 AM here and I'm wiped. I've been doing java homework with some calculus stuff and yeah. I will probably get it up tomorrow night. I'd do it in the afternoon, but I have to interview this elderly gentleman with a stutter for a story that I'm writing, so it could take a while. If anyone wants to add some filler post about exploring Roku's Island, or their transport there, go right ahead.

Totally fine man :) Wondering if my character is creative enough to fi- nah...

Sonam is trained enough to look for subtleties, and creative enough to find it probably, but do I want her to is the question? lol

There we go, plot progression. I moved characters, but if any of the authors would like to go back and explain in detail what the character thought or did exactly, go right ahead. Leave the main structure alone please.

This is now a time for the group to get to know one another, or at least find out that they all exist.

Executive decision time. Since we hit a plot point and neither SailorMoon nor Masaki Haruna have posted accepted CS's, they're spots are up for grabs. SailorMoon's spot will go first since Masaki kinda sorta has something (mainly a picture and a name).

Also, I have a friend I was in a great elemental RP with way back in the day, 2012 I think. So old site, old RP. Anyways, I have been PMing him and I believe he plans on submitting a CS. In the essence of saving time, we have talked about some of his plans, and I told him that he is pretty much auto-accepted and that if something isn't quite right, I'll let him know. So once he posts a CS, he is able to post in the IC, effectively taking SailorMoon's spot.

This means if Masaki Haruna comes back and gives a new CS (BTW, please don't update the CS, post a new one) that is accepted, he will then take the 2nd spot for himself, but seeing as he hasn't so far, I kinda doubt it. If someone comes along before him, his spot will be given up to that person.

Updated Lei Sheng a little bit. As time goes on, I'll fill in bits of his backstory.

Name: Kiel Feih
Nation of Origin: Toprak
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Age: 22
Ability: Earthbending; Primarily Metal Bending

Weapon of Choice: Metal Gauntlets. He likes them because he can shape them using his metal bending. Also it's a source of metal always on hand. Much like a water bender and a vessel of water. Hand to hand combat!

Biography: Born from a slave, his metal bending mother, Kiel was the bastard son of a Toprakian noble. Denied existence by his father he lived with his mother while they served in his household. Needless to say his birth caused a lot of commotion in the household, yet he never suffered any negative effects from it. However his mother was treated especially harsh by orders of the head of the house's, his fathers, wife. However most slave masters did not hit him for he had the blood of their employer. Kiel doubted if his father would have cared otherwise.

As Kiel grew older his mother discovered that he inherited his father's earth bending. She cried tears of joy knowing that he still had hope for a normal life. Sadly no matter how much she pleaded with his father, he would not adopt him or teach him earth bending. His mother always said it was his wife's fault, she had always resented their existence. For they were a constant reminder of the affair that brought Kiel into the world. Despite this Kiel's mother tried to teach him as much as she could about bending, but not being an earth bender, Kiel hardly learned anything. But he did develop a bit of metal bending, but his mother made him promise to hide it.

As Kiel grew older, his mother grew weaker. She could hardly work anymore, the affects of a life in slavery were taking their toll. It wasn't long before shew grew ill and slipped away one night before his eyes. Her last words to her son was that he could be much more than a slave. A few years later when Kiel was 18 he escaped from his slave quarters late at night. When morning came he expected to have to hide from pursuers or slavers but none came, playing it safe he camped in the forests for a few weeks.

Eventually Kiel made his way to Ba Sing Sae where he first learned about the world around him. He heard stories of the Dark Avatar and legends of the old one. Realizing this world was very different than the one he lived in, he spend months teaching himself how to read and basic math, using many of Torpaks renowned libraries. He also practiced his metal bending, despite being able to get trained in earth bending. Kiel resented using earth bending, he preferred to use the bending which his mother had known, not wanting to show any relation to his father. His mother was his only parent.

Eventually after years of training when he turned 21 he heard of Jasmine Dragon and the power struggle. After meeting with a member he requested to join, since he had yet to actually experience the world, and joined them. For a few months he trained in many types of combat but eventually decided not to use a weapon. But instead he wanted to use metal gauntlets because it was easier for him to bend with. He still keeps his bending a secret from most so most people think he is a non-bender. They are often puzzled when they see his weapon of choice as a non-bender would most likely die using it.


Special Information: He dislikes using his earth bending. Most people even after he joined Jasmine Dragon, do not know if he even is a bender. Remembering his mother's advice he doesn't show anyone. Sadly since he spent most of his life in slavery, he isn't very well educated and isn't well versed in the ways of the world. Often forgetting manners. He likes to eat a lot since he didn't try much food besides bread before escaping. Also do to all of his labour as a slave and training since escaping he packs a rather strong punch, combined with his bending he could probably kill someone with a sucker punch to the head.

So I'm just gonna wait for Snake to read this over, meanwhile I'm going to read the IC. Just incase your puzzled by this sudden CS, Snake told me to go ahead and post it. We've did an RP before so I hope this one is just as fun.
