Question: Am I allowed to make my air bending mentor a descendant of Tenzin and therefore be named after Tenzin? I figure he'd be either Jinora or Rohan's grandson.

@Wick I imagined him on the older side compared to the others, probably 40-45. As a Wesen he's probably still plenty fit enough to fight, and he would be a veteran. Other than that, take creative liberty!
I'll have my CS's up soon, probably by tonight!

Elias
Elias noted the pain on Alexis features, pleased that she seemed to be approaching the situation in a manner that was different from her signature burn-it-to-hell method. Rather than forcing her partner away, she was finally opening up to him in a way that Elias felt he could work with. Up until this point, it had been explosive emotions and violent conclusions as Alexis delivered brutal honestly and Elias deflected with callous apathy and fierce defensiveness. Taric had never been one to let his emotions seize control of him in times of crisis, and that had been part of what made him and Elias such a dynamic duo. Alexis reflecting the same quality that endeared the Grimm to Taric tugged at his heart strings, urging him to reveal his true emotions.
Sighing deeply, Elias consciously softened his features, meeting his partner's eyes with a vulnerable look in his own. He needed to word his next sentences perfectly, or he might never have this opportunity with Alexis again. The Grimm needed to explain, not excuse, himself, and then work from there.
"Back when I was with Taric..." Elias paused, licking his lips before proceeding. "He never said anything about what I did with women. He always left that part to me, and he never really wanted to be a part of anything like that. I used my charm to get into people's inner circles, and work from there to eradicate hostile Wesen. After that, it just became a... an addiction."
Elias shifted slightly so that he could fully face Alexis, wincing at the pain in his shoulder. "Since his death, I've been hiding from anything that makes me feel, that reminds me of him. You remind me of him. Shutting you out... it's been numbing the pain. But I can't do that anymore. You're so like him, y'know. Taric would have liked you."
Elias smiled softly, letting memories of his old partner run through his mind. "I'm sorry I've been avoiding you and blocking you out. I'm scared that if I get close to you, I'll lose another partner. I can't go through that again, but it occurs now to me that forcing you away just makes you run off on your own. I can't say I have any right to do what I did, only that I apologize for the hurt it caused you. I was running away."
With a sharp intake of breath, Elias sat up, using his good arm to prop himself up before extending it outwards towards Alexis, curling in his lower two fingers to symbolize the embrace of oaths. Elias didn't know if Alexis knew enough about Grimm culture to understand what he was proposing, or even if it was a tradition in the East, but he offered his hand regardless.
"When two Grimms lock hands like this, they swear themselves to an oath that proclaims that the two are now partners for their entire lives, pledging to fight, win, and hunt together, and to avenge the other if they fall in battle. Me and Taric took that oath once... Many, many years ago... I swore to his vengeance, or die trying. I succeeded, and thus I was freed from my oath. I never wanted to make such an oath again, but I think I'm ready to, if you're willing."
Inhaling deeply, Elias straightening his back and held his hand in the air between him and Alexis, suspended in anticipation of her response. "Alexis Grimm, I ask to bind to you under Grimm law."

Ugh, do I need to find a new image for Elias. I'm really not entirely certain what to search, because my search results always end up with oddly disproportionate monks at monasteries tending to their flowers. XD What do you search?
I don't really wanna post for Sophie's partner until I can get an image for him.

@Neo Is Delight@candlelitcraft Don't forget that the spiritual awakening caused random individuals to develop bending capabilities. The number is theoretically vastly larger.
@CollectorOfMyst I would assume that with such a diminished population, they would have at most populated two temples, if they chose to return to them.
Regarding air bending mastery and tattoos, the usual age for receiving one's tattoos falls in between 14-16, right? Aang and Jinora were prodigies, resulting in getting there's at 12 and 14(?), however, I'm uncertain when an air ended normally receives their tattoos. I know it's based on mastery, not age, but there has to be an average age when people master their element. Anyone know?
@pandapolio They said they would have the official thread up soon, probably in the next day or so.
@Regitnui I'm pretty sure I got the air bending instructor role, so would that be through my character? The air nomads are breeding bison, and I imagine the bison have probably returned to a fair population.

@Wick Yeah, I'm stuck doing this stupid assignment due tomorrow morning. I can't promise much because I have two assignments due and a quiz tomorrow, but I can confirm I'll have something up in the next 24 hours. I'm sorry I'm unreliable right now, I'm not exactly a veteran at time management. Between sleep, school, work, roleplaying, and a social life, I'm stretched a bit thin. But I'm slowly making a better schedule.
