{The Story} The Legend of Kasumi.​ Before Avatar Aang and his successor Korra, there were many more. Recorded history, however, has a trail that fades away whilst tracing back in time. Going backwards, before Avatars Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yangchen and the unnamed Magma Bender, the Avatar Spirit was within an Waterbending host. This is hundreds of years before Aang triggered the Avatar State that would freeze him in a glacier for Sokka and Katara to find. Hundreds of years before Korra was even conceived. I take you back before recorded history in the world of Avatar faded away to the memories of the dead lurking the Spirit World. Dragons have not been hunted to near extinction, and the Air Nomads did not yet fall victim to the wrathful genocide the Fire Nation would inflict hundreds of years later. The world is at peace, or perhaps I have spoken too soon? The previous Avatar has passed away, and the new host has been chosen. Kasumi(the current Avatar) is the new host. At the time of her birth, to twentieth year later to when our RP will take place, the world has been threatened. An unknown villain has lead a force assumed to be chi blockers to destroy benders. They have gone to villages and towns to "purify" the gene pools. They, however, leave the leaders alive and, instead, removing their ability to bend. If you've nostalgia to the Legend of Korra, think again. It is said that a powerful chi blocker has mastered an ancient, forgotten art and is out to not destroy only the Avatar Spirit, but the notabilities and councils of the four nations so that the ancient art could again be dominant. And they are training more to fuel this unjust cause.

[Midori]

I have a question. Where are we at the start of the RP? I just thought it would be helpful for our histories so we don't all end up scattered across the world, unless that was your intention.

[iSuspect]

@Midori Well, like I always do, your characters will come to the Southern Water Tribe to pick Kasumi up and we start from there, making way to the Earth Kingdom. @Everyone Also, should the characters know each other as well? I think so because the Avatar is picked at a very young age and starts training immediately. Kasumi is basically being retrained so maybe she could've trained alongside with your characters when she visited that nation. If that makes sense.

[gamer5910]

I also have a question is this a limited slot roleplay because looking up at the cast list it seems like it is but I just want to make sure, and also why can't there be another water bender? I know the avatar is a water bender but there should still be room for another water bender.

[iSuspect]

@gamer5910 Hmm, no one is really guaranteed a role, to be honest. But I do have this idea for another water bender, if you wish to take the role but you'll have to PM me about. I think it's a very good idea. :3

[Chad33]

I'm ok with them already knowing each other, and meeting up at the Southern Water Tribe. I guess if my character is going to be a Master Airbender, he needs to have invented a new technique. Or possibly reinvented one that hasn't been done in a long time. I'm thinking a sonic attack. Like he pulls a lungful of air in, and lets it out in a piercing scream.

[iSuspect]

@Chad33 Whatever works. Haha. I honestly don't think Air has a secondary element. :/ Or I have never seen it.

[Chad33]

Well, in the new series they can do astral projection. If they have a secondary element, it's likely spiritual. Though a sonic blast wouldn't be a secondary element. You're still working with air.

[iSuspect]

@Chad33 True. True. Haha.

{Name} Kasumi Michiyo. {Nickname} Other than being called the Avatar, wherever she goes, she doesn't really like having nicknames because she feels that people give you one when they forget your actual name. But Kas or Avatar Kasumi is acceptable. {Age} 20. {Gender} Female. {Sexuality} Kasumi is attracted to people that are fierce but have a tender side as well. She is also attracted to people with intelligence. So, basically Sapiosexual. {Appearance} Kasumi is fairly attractive to be the Avatar. She has long, raven colored hair that cascades down to her mid back, though she usually keeps it in a braided ponytail. She has fairly tanned skin from training in the sun in some parts of the other nations but it looks good on her so she isn't really bothered by it. She has tinted blue eyes, which are well rounded and accents her cute, shy look. She is about five foot six and weighs about one hundred and thirteen pounds. She has a petite, delicate frame though she has muscle from training. Kasumi is typically seen dressed in the traditional Southern Water Tribe wear, though she requested it be like a dress instead of pants and that her shoes be opened up in the back. {Primary Element} Water. {Secondary Element} Ice. She can control forms of ice as well. Even turn it water and heal someone. {Strengths} Bending water would be Kasumi's ultimate strength since she was basically trained ever since she could walk. She is also very flexible and most people can tell this by the way she moves so fluidly when she bends sometimes. She is also a great Earthbender because of the pure strength they have to use when bending. She was taught by some of the best Earthbenders wherever she went to Ba Sing Se. {Weaknesses} Her emotions would be her number one weakness because she feels like that she will fail everyone in her tribe and the nations. She cannot bend fire to save herself or others, which is the element she is lacking the most since she is not as fierce as everyone thinks she is. {Personality} Kasumi is a natural quiet, shy type of person but after visiting the other nations, she has learned to open up a bit more and express herself in a different way. She is very intelligent for her age and uses it in a way that no one else has seen before. Kasumi also keeps her emotions somewhat controlled unless she is pushed to the point of no return. Overall, Kasumi is the best person to be around because of her positive aura. She recedes negativity and just doesn't want to be around it, at all. {History} Kasumi is the second born out of a pair of twins, her brother Flippy, is the first born. Most people found Kasumi quite odd when she was the Avatar because for one, she was born second and for two, she didn't possess that Avatar like quality. Growing up, she had to be apart from her brother most of the time because she was getting praised and worshipped throughout the nations. It pained her when she had to leave home and not see her other half for quite sometime. Her brother is her equal and people talk about them like they equals. Kasumi has never wanted Flippy to live in her shadow but it sort of happened anyway. Now that she is twenty, her life is about to embark on a new journey, one that she is totally not ready for though she'd never tell anyone that.

[BuriedComic7]

I will work on my Earthbender after classes! This looks awesome!

[iSuspect]

@BuriedComic7 Okay! I cannot wait to see what you come up with.

[Chad33]

W.I.P.

{Name} Jangbu. {Nickname} Nothing Official {Age} 25. {Gender} Male. {Sexuality} Asexual. His culture stresses separation from everything. You are allowed to fall in love, but must also be willing to let it all go. He doesn't have a preference, though he finds people who are obsessed with anything annoying. {Appearance} He's a thin bald man with a small beard who wears blue clothes with white trim. Most Airbenders wear orange and yellow, and that is exactly why he does not. He almost convinced his elders to make his Master Airbender Arrows different, but they wouldn't budge on it. {Primary Element} Air {Secondary Element} Spirit. He's very spiritual, and can freely communicate with spirits. He's also empathic, and can sense Human emotions as well. {Strengths} {What are their ultimate strengths?} When it comes to spiritual matters, he's one of the best. He's well traveled, friendly, and diplomatic. On the rare ocassions that he needs to, he's good at a fight, using his superior speed and maneuverability to disable opponents. He has a lot of energy. {Weaknesses} {What are their ultimate weaknesses?} He can be impatient, and unfocused unless he's really trying. He wants to be everywhere, and do everything, all at the same time. As friendly as he is, he can be annoying with his thoughts going every which way, and never wanting to stay in one place for long. He does not like being penned in, meaning he doesn't like being inside buildings or underground. Air Temples often have big rooms, large windows, and a lot of balconies, so they're fine, but houses of other cultures often have small rooms with tiny windows, crowded with furniture. {Personality} {At least one paragraph.} Somewhat of a cloud cuckoolander. He's friendly, polite, and generous. He has a lot of empathy, and can sense emotions, which often keeps people from taking advantage of his generous nature. Unless you're really good at hiding ulterior motives. He likes meeting people, but sometimes doesn't remember their names. He is capable of being very involved in something one day, and completely ignoring it another, due to his training. This leaves some people thinking he's bipolar or otherwise fake. This includes training, much to the annoyance of any student he has. As a master he's expected to train people, but he doesn't like being on a set schedule. {History} Jangbu was born in the Southern Air Temple, where he grew up living a peaceful life. He was taught to express himself freely, which sometimes caused trouble for the elders when he felt things were getting a little too peaceful. In his teens he traveled to the other Air Temples, and met people along the way. He trained in his bending art, eventually learning a new technique and getting his arrows. When they found out who the next Avatar was, he went to meet her, and play a bit, but after being covered in snow one too many times he took off again. Since he became a master just before Kasumi was set to begin her Avatar training, he was chosen to be her master. Whether or not this was the elder's attempts to get rid of him was unclear, since they believed even Airbenders needed some conformity.

@Chad33 Don't forget to add a picture, as well. Other than that, I cannot find a single thing wrong with your character sheet. :3 Add a pic and I will accept him when he is completed. :)

[Chad33]

I'll use a picture of Aang, except imagine the clothes are different.

[FantasyDreams]

Well apparently you guys forgot about me, because I reserved the Weapons Master and in the master post its still available. I am still interested. Also, in the character sheet it says Japanese names only. That's technically inaccurate. The clothing they wear in the series is Chinese based, and the martial arts that the bending styles are based off of are also Chinese. So yeah, the more you know.

[Chad33]

I missed the "Japanese only" part. I did get the name from google, so it's a real name, but it was Tibetan or something.

Iwao Botan

Name: Iwao Botan Nickname: None thus far Age: 23 Gender: Male Sexuality: Iwao is attracted to members of the opposite sex, but has more important things to do than think about love. Stuff…like….umm….throwing rocks around! Appearance: Iwao stands at roughly six feet tall, with brown hair and the piercing green eyes shared by many natives of the Earth Kingdom. The wrappings around his arms and legs are not only stylish, but cover the numerous burns he inflicted upon himself while trying to learn how to Lavabend. Primary Element: Earth Secondary Element: Lava Strengths: Iwao is very level headed (some would say grounded. Lol. Earthbending humor) and is excellent at moderating conflict. Even though he is an excellent bender he won’t hesitate to attempt to talk things out first. Weaknesses: Heights. Iwao is absolutely TERRIFIED of heights. Personality: Iwao is a very funny and outgoing individual, constantly making jokes and quips (normally at his own expense for the sake of comedy). He enjoys the company of others, and is always eager to make new friends. However this isn’t without fault. His outgoing nature sometimes causes Iwao to put trust in people he shouldn’t, which has come back to bite him in the ass in his past. History: Iwao lived with his family in a large village on an island off the coast of the mainland Earth Kingdom (the large island to the east of Kyoshi Island). Both of his parents were earthbenders, and Iwao and his older brother Ro trained from a young age to master their family’s element. Life was good, until the volcano to the north of their village erupted. The village was far enough south that it would be spared from the noxious fumes, but the lava flow was headed straight for the village. Earthbenders from the village left to divert the flow. They were successful, but Ro perished in the struggle against the lava. After that day Iwao’s parent’s lost a lot of their passion for bending, and he began to train himself. Soon Iwao would scale the volcano, reaching the summit and attempting to learn Lavabending. He met the Avatar at a young age when she was travelling to Ba Sing Se. Her ship stopped in Iwao’s village to gather supplies. The entire village was abuzz trying to meet her, so Iwao only caught fleeting glances. However when he heard that she was ready to truly learn the elements he was eager at the chance to show her Earthbending, and quickly set off for the Southern Water Tribe.

[FantasyDreams]

Alright he's done. I'm not entirely happy with his history, but whatever. I hate making histories anyway.

Yue Wudao

Name: Yue Wudao (Yue translated to moon, Wudao to dance. So his name means moon dance, or dance of the moon.) Nickname: He doesn't really have any Age: 24 Gender: Male Sexuality: He doesn't care much for love as he is already married to his sword. Appearance: Yue is a small man, standing at about five and a half feet tall. His build is lean and athletic, you won't find an ounce of fat on this guy. He has long brown hair that he usually keeps tied back in a pony tail, save for those damn front pieces that aren't quite long enough to keep back. His eyes are a golden brown in color, they can look anywhere from orange to gold depending on the lighting. Despite his years of fighting experience, he only has one scar across his back. Any others that he has are on his front side, as he guards his back well. Strengths: Yue is a master of any and all things weaponry. He can pick up a weapon and wield it effectively. His favorites are the jian and a wooden staff the same height that he is. Those are the two that he carries around, along with a tessen, or bladed fan. He is physically strong from years of swinging weapons around. He is quick, fast, and agile, which are three completely different things. Quickness is how fast one strikes, fast is the speed at which one moves, and agility is ones ability to move well. These three things give him an almost dance like fighting style. Weaknesses: Yue's size is definitely a weakness, it makes it so he can't be as physically strong as tall, more well built people. But, it can also be a strength in certain situations. He is not a bender, and thus doesn't have the same long range fighting potential as benders. He is much, much better fighting short ranged. He is severely claustrophobic small or closed in spaces make his skin crawl and his mind cease to work. Personality: Yue was forced to grow up too fast, thus he is an incredibly mature and serious individual. He likes to keep on track of things and doesn't have much time for fun. He can keep a cool head in almost any situation. He's stubborn and feisty, he won't be giving up without a fight. He's observant and sees a lot more than people give him credit for. People assume that he's all brawn and no brain, but that isn't true, he's got a good head on his shoulders and a lot common sense and world experience than most. He doesn't like to talk much, but when he does, you better listen, because its usually important. He's a good listener, but don't ask him for advice, his people skills are pretty much none existent. History: One could tell by his looks, but Yue was born in the Fire Nation, though without the ability to bend. Instead his father forced him to train day and night in the ways of weaponry so that he could still fight for his leader. He wasn't allowed to have friends or play with the other children his age, isolating him and not letting him develop important people skills for later in his life. His life was pretty much nothing but weapons and training well into his teenage years. By the time he had the choice to do anything else, weaponry was his entire life and he couldn't imagine doing anything else. At sixteen he left his home in search for more challenging opponents and new weapons to learn. He hasn't been back since.

Soo how would being a chi-blocker work out, would I be playing as the opposition. Which is fine with me.
