Ling Feng

Name: Ling Feng

Nickname: The Fang

Age;22

Gender: Male

Primary Elemant: Chi Blocking

Secondary Element: chi?

Appearance;;
Ling Feng is a non bender from the fire nation, having paler skin and black hair as most others of the area do. He wears red, loose fitting cloak on top of a tighter and more aerodynamic series of wraps and light padding. His eyes are red and vibrant. He stands at a tallish 5'11, with a slender build. He is owns a set of more formal clothes he keeps with him worn by wealthy fire nation nobles traditionally, but only wears them when his family meets him or he enters a city for the first time.

Likes: Fried anything, challenges (particularly races), acrobatics, plays, rice.

Dislikes: Bender supremacists, meditation, the cold, perverts, the air nomad lifestyle in general.

Strengths: Speed, precision, short term strength

Weaknesses: Low endurance, strong emotions,

Personality: Trained in a traditional style for years with no success, Ling has grown restless, constantly needed something to take his attention. He was never one for the meditation exercises, constantly skipping the energy working exercises that the benders around him would do not realizing they were for more than just bending practice. He is impulsive, slow to judge and quick to accept, too trusting at times and selfish to a point, but not an unhealthy level. He’ll gladly save his friends but often times causes trouble to find them because of his own actions.

Background: Born to the heir of his father’s impeccable bending legacy, being a personal guard of the emperor and one of the greatest fire benders of the nation, Ling started his life a disappointment. He had no bending ability whatsoever, not even a spark could erupt from his fingertips, but this didn’t mean his family didn’t love him. He was trained for years with the rest of the fire benders, despite not having the ability. His father could afford to keep him trained to fight at least, and so Ling did. He fought and fought a lot.

The problem was, he was fighting against benders, who had him beat on range, and even if he did touch them they still had fire, and his father was approached by one of the trainers after a particularly dangerous bout Ling was involved in, offering a specialized class just for the boy. Ling’s father didn’t even consult Ling, and simply handed his son over to this strange group of fire bender monks who promised to level the playing field. These monks taught the boy traditional chi blocking, and over the course of the next 14 years, he would come to almost master the art.

He returned to the fire nation academy at the age of 20, this time his peers knowing full well he was only in because of his father’s position. They ridiculed him, all of them. Ling didn’t pay them any mind. He knew he wasn’t more powerful than them or anything, but the playing field was in fact equal. When the group would spar, at first Ling only fought the worst of the worst. The soldiers barely passing their examinations, but it quickly became clear he could hold his own against the better trainees, and such he trained with some of the best in the class. He would go on to be expelled from the program after disabling the chi flow in a poor girl’s arm for life after a sparring match got heated due to some taunting on both sides. Ling doesn’t even know how he managed to do it but he holds it against himself and gladly accepted the punishment he received.

Exile for 3 years.

Extra: He isn’t royalty, but his last name is well known.

Tai Song

Name;;
Tai Song

Nickname;;
None at the moment

Age;;
20

Gender;;
Male

Primary Elemant;;
Earth

Secondary Element;;
Seismic Sense - Tai learned this ability through his blinded sister, Chiya, the only other Earthbender in their family other than their father.

Appearance;;
Tai is very tall and athletically built, his skin olive in hue. His dusty brown hair seems to naturally grow upwards into what looks to be a less dramatic mix of a pompadour and a mohawk. His eyes, however, are much more dramatic; two bright gray irises with a faint, golden-brown ring circling his pupils. His face is mostly blemish free, save for the mole sitting just above his left eyebrow. For clothes, Tai keeps his attire simple and versatile. He can commonly be seen wearing his green, button up hooded jacket, which he leaves around his waist in warmer weather. With it, he'll often wear a tank top and a poofy pair of brown pants. To better protect himself while engaged in physical fights, he'll wear a pair of thick black gloves over his hands, and a sturdy pair of brown work boots.

Likes;;
-Reading (preferably dramas)
-Salty foods and snacks
-Animals, particularly larger, cuddlier ones
-Crafting or building different things (weapons, furniture, etc.)
-Cooking, despite not being very good at it

Dislikes;;
-Loud, repetitive sounds
-Sweet foods such as chocolates and cakes
-Dishonesty, or when people won't speak their minds
-Thunderstorms
-Hot weather

Strengths;;
-Optimistic, doesn't let the negatives discourage him too much
-Loyal and supportive of others
-High endurance, completely capable of fighting for long periods of time
-Seismic Sense allows him to anticipate certain movements, which makes him difficult to catch off-guard

Weaknesses;;
-Easily annoyed, frustrated, or agitated by others
-Can be honest to the point of coming off as rude
-Outright refuses to lead, due to being uncomfortable with such a role
-Awful at dodging attacks, as well as close combat

Personality;;
Tai is a very optimistic and supportive man, always trying to see the best in a situation or in other people, at first. He's also eager to please and eager to help others, especially those who need it the most. His temper tends to get in the way of all this though. Tai is very quick to frustrate and even anger, and once he's in one of his bad moods, it usually takes a while for him to come back out of it. He can also be very blunt and brutally straightforward, but at the same time, it's also unlikely for him to keep secrets or lie to other people.

On the up side, Tai is incredibly loyal to those he calls his friends or family, going so far as to put the desires and needs of others before his own at times. Additionally, he's great at taking orders, and would much rather follow than lead. And despite his hotheadedness, Tai is definitely not always a grouch. He's talkative, friendly, and although he's terrible at making jokes, it's easy to make him laugh, provided he's in a good mood.

Background;;
In his youth, Tai lived with his parents and four older sisters, along with two other large families in a moderately sized boarding home within the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se. Although he was more similar to his father in terms of looks, he took after his mother's hot headed personality, often getting himself into fights and spats with other children his age. Despite the prescense of both of his parents throughout his early life, they were not the ones who truly raised him. His sisters were the ones who would look out for him, while his parents worked multiple jobs both day and night in order to provide for their family. Although Tai still cared deeply for his overworked mother and father, the relationship he had with his siblings eventually grew to be much stronger than the one he held with his parents.

Even though his parents worked tirelessly for hour on end, making ends meet was still difficult for the Song family. In order to lessen the burden on his family, Tai resorted to thievery, pilfering anything that he needed or wanted for himself. Through this, he ended up making friends with several other boys like himself, eventually forming a ragtag group of teens that terrorized the markets and shops of the Lower Ring. For a while, Tai took little to no issue with stealing from others. After all, almost everyone he knew was doing it, and so far, he had been doing it without any repercussions.

This all changed when he was eighteen, when he witnessed two of his good friends mug an elderly beggar for what little he had. As he watched his friends beat the poor old man, he felt incredible guilt and shame for all the times he'd stolen from others. After that night, he grew depressed not just over the incident, but from believing that he'd completely wasted his life making other people miserable for his own selfish reasons. It was his oldest sister, Siyu, who would help him through his depression, and eventually prove to him that even though he'd made mistakes in the past, he still had the chance to do good in the future. Although Tai never fully got over his guilt, he began to dedicate himself to helping others in his neighborhood. It was also through his sister that he gained a more positive outlook on life, giving him a renewed hope for the future.

Extra;;
Tai has some experience with building makeshifts shacks and repairing weapons, and he'll happily help make something if asked.

He keeps a black rucksack on his back, which carries all of his essentials, along with a book or two.

Done! Feel free to let me know if there's anything that needs fixing. I'll be on my phone for the next couple of hours but, I'll check in every now and then.

[Experiment 249]

I love it, and can't wait for Ling to disagree with everything he does.

[Dirty Dan]

Just got off of work. There was like a party with 80 or so people, along with our normal rush of customers. Christ being a busboy sucks when there's hundreds of dishes and tables to clean. Fuuuu-

Alrighty, my character will be finished tomorrow afternoon! That's when I'll have the free time, haha.

[iSuspect]

Name;;
Terra Chiu.

Nickname;;
Besides being call The Avatar or Avatar Terra, she doesn't have any other nicknames.

Age;;
20.

Gender;;
Female.

Primary Elemant;;
Earth.

Secondary Element;;
Metal.

Appearance;;
Terra carries herself with an excellent style of elegance and grace with every step she takes. She has brown locks of hair that cascade down well past the middle of her back. She usually keeps it tied up in a high ponytail with a green elastic band holding it together. She has hazel green eyes with big pupils. Terra has a pale complexion to her skin color though it seems a bit sun kissed, too from most of her traveling and training. She adorns her body with the traditional Earth Kingdom colors, which is a green robe with a tint of yellow here and there, along with a brown belt going around her waist but she styles herself in a pair of black pants with green flat shoes. She doesn't have any piercings or tattoos though she has a few scars, one being on her back in the middle from training with her master.

Likes;;
| Reading & Writing | Being The Avatar | Training | Traveling The Nations |

Dislikes;;
| Chi Blockers | Arguments | Cocky Benders | Disrespect |

Strengths;;
| Persuasive | Happy To Help Anyone | Cooking | Bending | Flexible | Swimming |

Weaknesses;;
| Speaking Her Mind | Airbending | Some Weaponry | Hand to Hand Combat |

Personality;;
Being The Avatar, you have to have the personality like many greats before you but of course, you cannot be too overly cocky with your title. Terra is not that way. She is nowhere near cocky about being The Avatar as she uses her title to actually help people than sit on the sideline and do nothing. She is very encouraging and understanding when it comes to certain situations. Terra doesn't like it when people bully others as she feels that bullies will not get ahead in life. She is highly against bullying and makes it known to whatever nation she visits, or whatever person she comes across that is seen bullying somebody. Terra is not afraid to speak her mind, no matter the subject at hand. She doesn't mean to come across as being mean or opinionated but it just comes out that way and she usually apologizes if she has went too far and whatnot. Overall, Terra is a nice person to be around and to get to know. She doesn't want people befriending her just because she is The Avatar.

Background;;
Growing up, Terra had no idea she'd be just as special as people usually said she was when her mother had given birth to her. She would do things that normal kids, well benders, wouldn't or couldn't do. Her parents often wondered to themselves what was happening to their baby girl and sent her to several doctors, who obviously couldn't find anything wrong. Terra lived a very sheltered life as she has no brothers or sisters. Her parents wanted to keep her safe from the rising force of Chi Blockers so she wasn't allowed to even step outside without them beside her.

Over the years, she trained in the art of her bending, perfecting it with ease as when she was twelve years of age, her master and elders came to her and took her to a secluded area. They told her to pick out some toys to play with. Confused, she did as she was told and picked out the toys that the previous Avatars picked and that was when she was told she has a great destiny and journey ahead of her as she now the protector of sorts for all the nations. She had to be sent off to train in the arts of the other elements though Airbending isn't really her forte though she can do it, just not well. She's had loads of training from other master benders and weaponry masters, alike and was told her goal in her life again.

Now, that she is twenty years of age, she must travel to all nations once again though with the help of some friends and make sure that her people of the nations are safe and secured because the chi blocking force is rising and striking by any means necessary in order to get The Avatar's attention. Well, they got it and now she must put a stop to them before they ruin all lives of her people.

Extra;;
On her journey, she'll be carry a small purse with some coins and her mother's amulet. She'll also have a book to read and a sketchbook for drawing and a journal for writing.

Everyone ready to tell the story of an Avatar? LOL.

Just got back from school. Fuckin' finals.

I'll write up his history now. Sorry if it seems a bit lackluster/vague, I sorta want it to be kept half in the shadows for now.

Finished

Name;;
Feng Shei

Nickname;;
N/A

Age;;
22

Gender;;
Male

Primary Element;;
N/A

Secondary Element;;
N/A

Appearance;;
Feng is a young man of undetermined ancestory, even to himself, with pale, fair skin, dark, feathery, messy black hair, and naturally cool, analytical gray eyes. Not specifically tall nor short, the masterless samurai is a man of average height, give or take an inch, with a very lean build that may make you underestimate him at first - until you further take in the lean, agile musculature that his form holds, hiding an incredibly strong swing behind the guise of speed and agility. His hands calloused from gripping the worn leather of his blade's hilt, and his form lightly littered with faded, pale scars from the spoils of many past battles, Feng is an over-all interesting figure. He does not wear flashy or attention-grabbing clothing - a simple, loose-fitting black keikogi that showcases a the top of a leanly muscular chest, and loose black trousers, along with wooden geta. His clothing choice is typical of that of a wandering ronin, and it's loose, light-weight fit allows him to stay light on his feet during battle. He generally has on a straw hat that hides his entire face in shadows, and keeps him anonymous. There are blades built into the rim of the hat, making it a deadly chakram when necessary.

Likes;;
Sake, resting, worthy adversaries, sleeping, chess.

Dislikes;;
Loud, obnoxious people, spicy foods, cowardly people, bullies.

Strengths;;
Prodigal in the art of weaponry, highly intelligent/quick-thinking, a master of sleight-of-hand.

Weaknesses;;
A loner through and through, has had his bending permanently shut off, and he's quite a bit jaded in the heart.

Personality;;
Mysterious and quiet, Feng comes off as an over-all apathetic and shrewd young man. His past is obviously a secret, and holds some pretty heavy baggage, considering how he does not mention it at all within his limited social circle. Perpetually quiet and unpredictable, Feng has a very sharp mind, and with it, comes a naturally dry, sarcastic side that comes out only when Feng allows it to come out - basically, anytime he feels as if someone needs to be reminded about how idiotic they are. Due to the young man's seemingly laidback nature, and the way he takes things at his own pace, he can easily come off as lazy and unmotivated to some, and even as a bum, due to his knack of not actually paying for his stays at inns, and simply sneaking in and sleeping wherever he wants. Despite this, Feng is obviously a dangerous individual, judging by how easily he can become pure cold and ruthless in only a blink of an eye, and this is what makes his enemies and allies fear him - the fact that he has no qualms about attacking anyone that threatens him or anyone he finds close to him. He tries to keep an unapproachable aura, so as to keep his inner circle very limited, but his unwillingly curious, kind, and inquisitive nature forces the cold ronin into undesirable situations.

Background;;
He was born to an unknown pair, in an unknown location, and even the exact time his birth took place was unknown. What is known, however, is that he was found, floating down a fortunately warm stream, fished out by a fisherman and his wife. He had pneuomnia, a cold, and was running a very high fever - nothing but an almost newborn baby, adrift in the wilderness for who knows how much time. He was practically starving. The man and woman took the baby back to their village, and with the help of the village's doctor, nursed the baby back to health. They later took him into their care when he was healthy enough to not look to be on death's door, and officially named him Lee Kin, their new son. The wife could not bear any children, and the pair were lonely. Lee Kin being born made this loneliness diminish.

As a child, Lee Kin showed himself to be an immensely talented, if not socially outcasted young man. The kids in his small school was told of his rather odd origins ;; found, as a baby, on his deathbed by a pair of poor fishermen. They bullied him, stole his lunch, and generally gave him a hard time. Every day, the skinny boy would come home with bruises and sadness in his heart, and everyday, his gray eyes became just a bit colder, just a bit more distant. Eventually, he ran away from the village, around the age of seven or so, tired of the jeering. He wandered the wilderness for a long time, until he fell asleep...and was kidnapped. That blatantly and straightforward. The bandits were looking to sell him to the black market, but just as he was being transported by giant mole-rat, he was saved by a stranger in a straw-hat and robes. The man wielded a beautifully efficient and simple katana, which he used to cut a swathe through each bandit, before saving Lee Kin.

The boy was indebted to the man, and begged to become his apprentice, to learn to be strong. The wandering samurai agreed, under one condition - that Lee Kin left behind his past life without a trace.

The boy hesitated, before resolutely agreeing. He loved his family, but he would bring nothing to the village as he was - a weak, socially awkward nerd.

And thus, Feng Shei was born.

Extra;;
He wields one katana with master efficiency and lethal skill. It's name is Tsukihime, and it is usually within a black sheathe on Feng's waist, with the sheathe holding a long, sprawling silver dragon symbol along the metal. The katana's hilt is a deep, leather-wrapped black, with deep silver accents along the hilt. The blade itself is long, slim, light, and extremely razor sharp - some even say that it can slice the air itself. Feng's fighting style with Tsukihime is extremely unpredictable. He is such a mysterious and hard to read person, that it is completely impossible to know what he's going to do next. This, combined with his natural skill, makes him even more dangerous. He may go straight into different styles of hand-to-hand combat, use his surroundings to his advantage, fight with both the sheathe and katana, or utilize different kenjutsu stances. It all depends on his opponent.

His sandals has built-in razor-blades in the soles, and along his body, Feng holds many different small, light-weight throwing weapons.

[ReaptheMusic]

so i was wondering, what location were we planning to start in?

[iSuspect]

so i was wondering, what location were we planning to start in?

@ReaptheMusic

Somewhere in the Earth Kingdom. More than likely Ba Sing Se. LOL.

It'd all be explained in the first post.

[ReaptheMusic]

I know just about all the roles are taken but [@CinderellaMan] was wondering if duplicate types are allowed, since he'd like to join.

[Experiment 249]

@Cinderella Man

[iSuspect]

I didn't plan on having duplicate roles. :/ I want this to be a small cast of writers.

So sorry for @Cinderella Man. :(

By the way, @Dirty Dan, your character has been accepted. ^-^
