Lion Turtle Bending School

[Obscurus]

OOC

Korra has left this life and another Avatar is born into this world. An earthbender this time. But that has very little to do with our story.
Because you will be quite far away from the hectic world of war and politics. You are sheltered in the much smaller world that is Turtle Lion Bending School. In a remote and quite idyllic environment the building has been crafted by wise and noble people, benders and non-benders alike, to help create a balanced future.

This is where you will be taking classes.

classes

In the mornings you will have mixed classes, in the afternoon you will be training with the students of your element. The houses are Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Pen and Sword.
One day per week you will be cooking, hunting, foraging, farming, fishing, cleaning or repairing/building for the school, as the school is also a self-sufficient community.

Morning classes can be:
-Animals
-Spirits
-People
-History
-Crafts
-Martial Arts
-Writing & Literature
-Diplomacy
-Chi & Chakras

I'm open to suggestions for other classes.

The first years will get every class. The years after will have specialisations and only do some of these classes.

Here's an examle schedule for a first year student.

Monday: Writing Chi & Chakras Waterbending
Tuesday: Animals Martial Arts Waterbending
Wednesday: History Spirits Waterbending
Thursday: Diplomacy Crafts Waterbending
Friday: Hunting

area

In a large forest, stands a white building.

To the east is the sea, to the north there's forests and mountains, to the west there is forest and a lake and to the south there are plains.

story

The story will be based around the school and the activities there. With mostly character driven storylines that can be set up around classes, activities or events that happen in and around the school. Eventually we might find our characters involved in larger issues.

[riprofsuls]

Name: Aleck Wydred

Appearance: Pending

Bending: Earth

Year: pending

personality: To be exposed in IC

Short Bio: Pending

other: Pending

[EllfenBrofis]

Name: Ellfen Brofis
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Bending: Earth/Sand (usually uses sand)
Year: Second
personality: She's a bit of a YinYang, half of her is good, half of her is bad. To those she cares about she's very kind, but to those she hates she is extremely sadistic and cruel. Those who know of her bad side often call her a snake because of how she waits and waits until the perfect time to strike. Ellfen is very tribal and doesn't really like how everything she sees now is almost always made of stone. She tends to refer to herself as a Sandbender more than anything and gets annoyed with the title of Earthbender that people always give her.
Short Bio: Will show in IC/I'm not sure yet xD
other: Has a high tendency to steal things and is secretive.

[Sylvaky]

Name: Makki
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Makki

Bending: Water
Year: Second
Personality: Makki is a light hearted individual. He tends to see the bright side of everything and everyone despite circumstances. It takes a great deal to anger Makki, and even more to get a reaction. He seems to fit in with every group, having friends from all cliques and classes. Makki's attachment to animals is second to none and he can rarely be seen without his faithful Polar Horse Goat, Kana or a variety of other small furry creatures.
Short Bio: Makki's family was one of the first to move to the Lion Turtle Bending School. He was just a young boy at the time, though no less excited for when he would finally be admitted into the classes. His first year went without a hitch (or at least as well as a first year could expect) and he looks forward to starting his second year of schooling. (More will be revealed in the IC)
Other: N/A

[Barioth]

Name: Jinto Yakou
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

The tattooed necklace of flames is his clan's mark.
Bending: Fire
Year: Second
Personality: If one were to look into Jinto's eyes they'd see the color of red and something else, ambition. From birth, he has believed he was destined for greatness. He dreams of the day he grows to become a bender of legendary proportions who dwarfs even the avatar in fame. For that very day he works extremely hard on his studies and perfecting the fire-bending style of his family line. He is extremely focused and takes only little time out of his rigorous training schedule to socialize or even speak.
Short Bio: Born into a clan of well-known Fire benders, he grew up learning the art and honing his skills. Worried about his workaholic, anti-social attitude, his family sent him to the Lion Turtle school in the hopes that he would make friends. His first year, his intimidating demeanor and lack of interest in social activities gave him a reputation as a cold-shouldered delinquent.
other: His dream is to become a legendary fire bender and plans to defeat the Avatar to prove his skill to the world. To defeat the Avatar he has been trying to learn Lightening-bending.

Good to see some interest:)

To ElffenBrofis, Sylvaki and Barioth, your characters are accepted!
Riprofsouls, I'm gonna need a complete CS from you if you want in. You can figure out the bio In Character, but the rest I need beforehand.

Would you all be so kind to copy your CS's to the OOC? then we will have them all together.
I'm going to wait just a little longer to see if there's more interest.

[Obscurus]

Bumparoo. I could use some more people for this.

[Absoloth]

Name: Sayomi Inoue

Age: 17

Gender: female

Appearance:

Bending: waterbending

Year: first year

Personality: At a first glance, Sayomi seems to be a calm, enjoyable person to talk to, and she is. She loves to talk about nature, especially since she's used to the stark environment of the Southern Water Tribe. She is more than eager to help an injured animal for she sometimes behaves in a motherly way, caring for those around her. But don't get her gentle side confused with the cold persona she can take on when she's angered or out to seek revenge. One piece of advice is to not mess with those she cares about.

Short Bio: Sayomi originally grew up in the Southern Water Tribe taking care of her siblings after her mother left their father for an earthbender around the time Sayomi was 10. Her father was sent to the Northern Water Tribe to help train the children waterbending, so her siblings (aged 3 and 5) relied on Sayomi extensively. When she turned 15, one of the elders, Alana, took in the Inoue children and sought to raise them the way she had raised her own child. Alana saw that Sayomi had a knack for bending and sent her to the Turtle Lion Bending School to enhance her abilities in the hope that she could make a difference in the world just as her grandmother Katara did. To remember her, Sayomi wears Katara's etched necklace, often touching it during times of trouble as if to ask her for guidance.

Other: Sayomi has always been inspired by her grandmother's feats, namely working alongside Avatar Aang, the last airbender, and wishes to do the same with the new Avatar. Since not much is known about the Avatar, she hopes that the Avatar is a handsome guy that she could fall in love with. Her other aspiration is to become the world's best healer.

(I know this CS sucks, it's been awhile :p)

[Fuzzy_Wolf]

I'm interested will get my character sheet up in a little bit :D

[Absoloth]

Omg Fuzzy , that avi is eerily cute o3o

[Fuzzy_Wolf]

Heh thanks, a friend drew it for me <3

[Fuzzy_Wolf]

Name: Suzume
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Bending: Air
Year: Second
Personality: Suzume isn't afraid to speak her mind when the situation calls for it. While she generally prefers to just let people settle their own arguments, if it involves someone she knows then be prepared to get chewed out. She finds people who disrupt classrooms incredibly annoying and believes any disputes are best settled outside of class hours.
Short Bio: Pending
Other: Pending

Will get the rest up as I type it

[Iluvatar]

Name: Turuk

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Appearance

Bending: Water

Year: First Year

Personality: Usually calm and collected. He has devoted much of his life to learning waterbending, and, because of this, his personality reflects the characteristics of water. He can be passive and serene one moment, then furious the next. In classes, he is usually very quiet, participating rarely. He is not very outgoing, but fiercely loyal and protective to the friends he has. Despite this, he is not gullible, and will rarely interact positively with those he deems ' a bad influence'.

Short Bio: Turuk was born in the Northern Water Tribe, to two waterbenders. He has two siblings, who are both younger than him (Anakka - female, and Kanak - male) and cannot yet join the Bending School. They are both waterbenders. At the age of thirteen, he travelled to the Earth Kingdom and the United Republic, where he and his family learned of the existence of the Lion Turtle's academy. When he reached the acceptable age, he enrolled into it and was accepted. He remains there to this day, studying the art of waterbending.

Other: He aspires to become a waterbending master. He has few ambitions other than this, merely wanting to train future generations for the good of his Tribe.

[QueenSei]

Name: Sora Weissman

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Bending: Air

Year: First

Personality: She is friendly and really bubbly. Sometimes she can be sensitive and despite being the element that is supposed to detach herself from worldly things, she becomes very attached with her friends and sometimes would do anything she can to keep the gifts she receives.

Short Bio: Her guardian had been training her for several years, but just recently he had begun to feel that she needs to be around different people other than her usual nomads. He sent her away to the Lion Turtle Bending School in hopes that she could make new friends and learn new skills.

Other: She loves white animals and the color blue and orange (obviously)
