@Tojin

Welcome ^-^ can't wait to see your profile.

[rocketrobie2]

@Akayaofthemoon

I am so sorry. I have excuses but none of them are very valid. I'm going to try to get it up tomorrow if I can. Again I am honestly really sorry for taking so long.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@rocketrobie2

It is no problem. We have a few more that will be making profiles still also. I just didn't want you left behind so I thought it best to inform you ^-^

[rocketrobie2]

@Akayaofthemoon

Thanks and sorry again.

In other news do any of you know a good place to find appearance pictures?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@rocketrobie2

I usually use google images.

I have also used yahoo images, photobucket and sometimes deviantart.

[Gisk]

I usually use Deviantart, though for this particular character it's a picture from a Magic the Gathering card.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Gisk

I thought it looked fimilar but I couldn't think of where I had seen your picture before XD

[rocketrobie2]

gonna get my app up tonight! (or at least an almost done WIP)

[21308]

@rocketrobie2 Awesome to hear!

So hey, an update on me in case anyone cares, I started taking an antibiotic today which should help take care of some of the pain I've been dealing with and I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed soon. Also, for some reason my antivirus software decided to crap the bed and right now I'm dealing with popups that make this site borderline unusable, so yeah. You can all expect me to @ you as soon as I have the rp up and I'm terribly sorry it's taken so long but you know, life happens. I hope you're all still interested.

[21308]

@Raijinslayer Also before I forget, it's awesome to see that you're interested! A firebender would be fine but yeah they probably wouldn't be able to bend lava, except maybe by using the heat from the lava to ignite things more easily.

[Raijinslayer]

@21308Gotcha, and also it's funny that you talk about getting your wisdom teeth out, as I'll probably be getting mine out soon as well. Yeah . . . not looking forward to it at all.

[21308]

@Raijinslayer Trust me it's far better than waiting like I did. I've broken bones before and I would rate an impacted wisdom tooth as significantly more unpleasant.

Name: Haroun bin Rahman bin Omar al-Rashid. (He prefers to go by just Haroun, and introduces himself as such; saves time.)

Age: 18.

Bending ability if any: Earthbending.

Birthplace: Unknown, though his best guess is somewhere in the Si Wong Desert, given his aptitude for sandbending.

Appearance: Harun stands at an imposing 6' 6" (1.98 meters). He's very strong, with muscles being readily apparent all over his body, but his face still displays some baby fat. His skin is a light brown, and his hair is short and black. He has a scruffy beard, and he gives a general impression of being far more gentle than his appearance would make you think he was, which he is.

Backstory (Optional): WIP.

Items/weapons on person: A small knife and a pouch of sand, which he keeps refilled by using earthbending to chip off parts of buildings and grind them into dust. Of course, he can also use the dust and dirt that accumulates around the city for sandbending, but using the pouch is generally easier for him. He also has a belt, which he keeps the pouch and knife strapped to, and a set of hand wraps, so that if he punches someone, he doesn't end up hurting himself.

Physical Attributes and Abilities:
Sandbending (III).
Traditional Earthbending (boulder-flinging and such) (I)
Hand-to-hand combat (II)

@Akayaofthemoon@21308 I came up with what I hope is an interesting idea, and I hope the way I had it happen is interesting. also, he's got one more trait that I think will make him more fun and challenging to play. I wonder if you'll be able to guess what it is.

Name:Kavi

Age: 21

Bending ability if any: Firebending

Birthplace: Republic City

Appearance:

Backstory (Optional): Kavi has never known his parents, as he was for some reason abandoned on the outskirts of one of the spirit swamps that loiter the city, and was thankfully taken in by the spirts living there. It was here that he grew up, surrounded by a form of nature and with many odd friends, though he couldn't help but grow curious of the outside world. He eventually began to take on excursions into the city, finding himself fascinated with the technologic wonders it housed, even f he had no idea how they worked half the time. However, for every wonder he discovered, a horror lay just beyond the corner, as he was introduced to the poverty and criminal element very early on in his endeavors.

By the age of 13, he had been impressed into one of the numerous gangs as a pickpocket, as well as one of their benders, as his ability to firebend was immediately made apparent. They trained him on how to use, so as to get more use out of him, but he was always hesitant to do so, as he hated cause others pain and by extension, hated his bending because it seemed to do nothing but that, which caused him to weaken in it's use. However, one day, the gang had him try and pick pocket and elderly air nomad passing down the street, only for him to be quite literally swept off his feet in the attempt. The members who had been standing by were quick to interfere, but they were quickly overwhelmed and scared off as the airbender flowed around their attacks with easy and struck back with powerful, but controlled blast of air.

Kavi, awed by his skill and power, immediately begged him to train him in how to do what he did. The old airbender, after listening to the boy's story, decided to give it a shot. While the boy might not be able to airbend, he felt that Kavi would have much to benefit spiritually from learning the ways of the air nomads. And so he left with the air nomad to one of the air temples, training the boy in their ancient ways. It was difficult at first, for many reasons, but as time went on, he quickly acclimated to the Air Nomad way of life. He even took some airbending training as far as how they move, becoming much more agile and evasive with his ability. But more than that, he found an acceptance of his bending style, as his teacher taught him how everything in the world could be used for evil, and fire was not just destruction. The airbending master had no knowledge on how to firebend, of course, and recomeneded that his young people find himself a teacher, but the boy instead focused on mixing the firebending techniques he learned while apart of the gang with those of the air nomads, forming a more mobile and evasion based form of fire bending form all his own, and though his fighting skills aren't great, it generally surprises people enough to see a firebender move like an airbender that he can get away from most fights easily enough.

Now a days, Kavi is at a bit of a crossroads, unsure of how he wants to live his life. While he finds the Air Nomad life agreeable, he not sure if he wants to devote himself to it entirely yet, as he doesn't like the idea of completely separating himself from the world. He feels too much of a connection with it, in both his friends in the spirit swamps that he still goes to see every so often and in all of the wonder it has to offer. He's very conflicted on this choice, as he knows that whatever he chooses will define his life from then onward. Not to mention that he still has gang troubles, as members of the gang come around and try to force him back in . . . or worse.

Rasharna, or Rash for short: A spirit that has a particularly close bond with Kavi, he has the ability to shift his size to something around the size of a small cat to the size of a polarbear dog, if not slightly larger. Very talkative and energetic, likes to meet new people, and very protective of Kavi.

Items/weapons on person:
A pair of roller skates that he had made for him by a friend, he can use his fire bending to propel him forward on them, making him very fast and maneuverable both in and out of combat. The rolller wheels can be attached and detached rather quickly, so if he's given sometime to breathe in a fight, he can change up battle styles on the fly.

Carries a modified version of an Airbender's staff, with the flaps that come out the sides being used to make it into more of a hoverboard, expanding the size and helping to channel the flames. It's made of a special metal that isn't very conductive, so as to help control the heat and keep from burning himself. Also makes for decent improvised cover from other bending techniques in mid-battle, though it can only take so much punishment, so it's best used in a fight against other fire-benders.

A pair of goggles to help protect his eyes.

Pack of cigarettes and the only bad habit he picked up from his short stint in a gang. He doesn't do it constantly, only when he feels overly anxious or nervous, which isn't often, but some times the lack of smoking is what causes it. He's trying to kick, but it's hard. Can use it with his firebnding to create a quick smoke screen if need be.

Physical Attributes and Abilities:
Firebending(III): He's a decently powerful firebender on his own, and that only becomes more apparent as he adds his own unique spin on it. He focuses on low heat, non-lethal uses, having gained enough control to use heat-based shockwaves to knock his opponents around, though he'll go to straight fire if sufficiently cornered.
Air Nomad Fighting style(II): His training at the temple make him very agile and evasive, and while he'll never be as skilled as an actually airbender, he's still very slippery, especially when using his
Spiritual Meditation and Breathing(I): Another thing that has helped his firebending as well as his general temperament is his meditation ability. His control over his breathing helps control the intensity of his flames, and since it takes more to anger him, he can keep that more consistently.

@21308I added a Spirit buddy to the sheet, hope that's okay. Also, is he good, or do I need to fix or elaborate on something?

[Gisk]

Virra, Jalika and Kavi should form a crime fighting super team of benders cool people.

[rocketrobie2]

Here it is! I swear it doesent usually take me this long to make a CS. Gonna try to finish this up soon but I might end up switching him out for another character idea I had.

Name: Zayric

Age: 24

Bending ability if any: None

Birthplace: Republic City

Appearance:

Backstory (Optional):

Items/weapons on person:
-Jury rigged Mecha suit- A salvaged Mecha suit which is better and worse than the original design. Only a few of the original functions still work such as the obvious defence and strength but it also still has the built in flamethrower. The suit is a lot more agile than the average suit thanks to some actual ingenuity, Zayric managed to upgrade his suit with move advanced machinery in the movement department. On the downside though, the suit has been repaired with more common metals, making parts of it vulnerable to metal-benders. Just for a little pizazz he has an especially viscous looking

Physical Attributes and Abilities:
Engineering(II), Charm(III), Hand-to-hand combat(I)
