I personally appreciate the idea of an older character to shake things up! My unsolicited and next to weightless opinion is that so far his "who are you" section tells us a good bit about what he does and how he thinks, but yet not a terrible amount about who he actually is. Maybe wait for the actual GM to chime in before I accidentally steer you wrong, though... Just my initial impression.

Basically what I'm saying is that it reads like one of his soap box speeches that a person could go up to, but that person wouldn't really know much about the guy beyond that, and I'd imagine for CS purposes we might want to dig at least a little deeper.

Also, Exit, I realize in my boredom I've been getting very chatty. Feel free to tell me to shut up... >_>;

Suddenly, from no fire to lots of fire. I had to think for a minute, but I find the idea of an upper class character who isn't a "corpo" type quite intriguing. Instead, a sports celebrity. I really like the whole guilty pleasure angle with how they view bending as well. Not a rebel or sympathizer, but not a hardcore conformist either, and yet still (seemingly?) firmly in one camp over the other. She's got a nice amount of nuance from what I can see so far. Definitely a pleasant surprise I'd say.

Also it was getting a bit lopsided in the gender department... XD

Ah, I see, we've finally acquired-

Yuan: PUPPIES!

Kicks Yuan into a trunk and locks it.

Ahem. As I was saying. Firebender acquired. It's all coming together. And, as is appropriate, he's a rich, suave looking bastard. Gotta love it.

Oooh, now the squad is filling out!

We got a potential badass, medic, and tech guy to go with my useless cinnamon roll! Just need to find a firebender. Also cool to note that we've got people to rep for every zone. All three rings and the outside!

Speaking of which, I made a few more tweaks and named the pet shop as well as giving ya boi some actual clothes. I hear nudity is still frowned on even after an extra 100 years.

F*k, I was hoping to edit in one more question, but how much detail do you want for the NPC?

ᵗʰᵉ Last Avatar.

OK, good to know. Basically I wanted the glassbending to play a role... but then realized I didn't think I could ever tone it down to the point where it was a full part of his abilities from the beginning, so I decided to make the mentor and have them do most of the work. Also, the main persona almost doesn't know how to earthbend, and the alternate (blue) persona gets all the teaching in secret while "Yuan" is "asleep." But the main persona is in control like 80%~ of the time and the alt doesn't get to come out every time he goes to sleep, so the training he gets is rather limited, as I attempted to make clear in the sheet. But now that I'm thinking about it more, glassbending or no, no one said the mentor has to be a master or anything XD . Just has to be better than him.

In any case, you've made it abundantly clear how lacking our characters' skills should be at the beginning so I'm doing my best to stick to that and won't try to pull a fast one mid-rp or anything. Hopefully that assuages any concerns and we can see how things look when the sheet is closer to 100%.

Anyway, now that I know I was on the right track I'll flesh out the mentor. Didn't want to waste the effort if I had it wrong.

Weiyuan

It's Ya Boi

Typical Outfit Ya Boi Wears

Name: Weiyuan - "Yuan"
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Element: Earth

Residence: Lower Ring

Occupation: Animal Keeper. He works for an exotic animal breeder and broker of questionable legality named "The Catgator's Meow." His favorite are the turtle-ducks.

As a side note, it may be worth noting he has not once heard a catgator actually meow...

Who are you?
That's a complicated question sometimes. When I was younger I realized I could earthbend. I thought it was amazing, but my family was terrified and only my grandfather would have me. Later I made the mistake of letting more people know. Instead of being turned in or executed, they decided to deal with me themselves. They beat me until I was unconscious. I was asleep for days afterward. I was never really... the same after that. I don't talk anymore.

On the bright side, I was "born." Don't worry about me, though. I'm not really anyone at the end of the day. I just help deal with things when they get a bit too hard.

Umm, people who know about me say that I ended up with something called "split personalities." I thought maybe I got hit too hard, but they said it was probably just because I needed to become someone else to deal with the stress of what happened. Anyway I learned my lesson and didn't try to bend again after that. That kind of made things better, but then I lost my grandfather and I had to try and take care of myself. I guess people don't always like that I don't talk, because I ended up getting hurt again. They didn't beat me quite as bad as last time, but a piece of glass got stuck deep in my throat. I got lucky though. A friend found me and got the glass out. Later on a doctor told me that even if I wanted to learn to talk again, it would be pointless because now there was too much damage. I've gotten good at sign language, though!

Actually, I can talk. Kind of. I can whisper, but have you ever tried to hold a conversation on a busy street while whispering? It's a nightmare. Anyway, that's not even the whole story. It was a friend of mine that saved us. My mentor, Chae-Won. Apparently earthbenders can control glass. With her help and instruction, together we got the glass out. They did most of the work, of course, but they couldn't feel exactly where the glass was inside me, so I had to help direct it. Not my idea of fun, but it was an interesting lesson.

But yeah, I've made sure to keep learning, but unfortunately I'm not usually in the driver's seat, so it's hard to get very far. You think I've been able to even budge glass since? Ugh. Don't tell him that, though. He's not ready to get back into it all. I don't even want to think about how much he'd freak out if he knew. Yuan just thinks she's a friendly neighbor.

Now I work with animals. They don't care if I bend or not, or if I talk or not. I've also learned that some people actually like that I don't talk. It makes me really good at keeping secrets. I know they're not great people, but I have to survive somehow.

What is your opinion on Benders?

Benders are very bad. They wouldn't have hurt me so much if they weren't.

And yet even when you stopped, you still got hurt.

I've stopped bending. I just want to be normal.

You'd be dead if you were...

Extra: He keeps an old pocket-watch on him; a gift from his grandfather. Apparently it had originally belonged to his great-grandfather who died during the assault on Ba Sing Se. His grandfather had found the man buried in rubble, the watch damaged and broken, forever stuck at the time the invasion had begun.

He, perhaps unsurprisingly, has numerous scars. The main ones are the ones on his scalp, though his hair mostly hides these, and the one on his neck. Then are the ones on his back and forearms from trying to protect himself. Lastly, he has various, smaller, faded scars all along his arms, legs, and torso from his first... incident. Most of the time, his clothes hide the vast majority of his scars, but the ones on his neck and forearms tend to be visible to some degree unless he really buttons up his jacket.

He knows all the turtle-ducks in the store by name. He's also the one who names them.

He was once tricked into eating turtle-duck soup. The only reason the other man is still alive is because all the ducks in the store were still accounted for... and yes, he finished it all, and yes it was delicious...

Chae-Won

It's Not Ya Boi

Name: Chae-Won
Age: 28
Gender: Iron Man (FeMale)
Element: Earth

Residence: Lower Ring

Occupation: "Courier"

Most days she really does just run deliveries. The reason she's made this into a viable career is because she's earned a reputation as one of the few people who can traverse the entirety of the Lower Ring, the Underground, and sometimes even outside the walls without being robbed, jumped, or otherwise accosted. She can even be convinced to dress up a bit and go into the Middle Ring on occasion. The problem is that, in order to keep a steady flow of income, the things she needs to bring from A to B aren't always... innocuous. Sometimes what she's asked to deliver is a beating, though she tries to be picky with those ones.

She yearns for the day that she can go back to being just a friendly delivery girl, but that day hasn't come yet. Tee only other skill she has she can't show to people -- except for one.

When she first caught him practicing, she played dumb, just scolding him and telling him to be more careful. However, she kept a close eye on him after that, sometimes just quietly watching him try to use his earthbending, pretending like she was fascinated. Eventually she took a risk and revealed her own abilities. Whether it was out of pity to teach him, since he could barely lift more than a few grains of sand, or because she was lonely, it was hard to say. It turned out the boy, Yuan, had his own secrets of course. There were two of him, the one she taught in secret, and the one who just really liked feeding the turtle-ducks and needed a friendly face to greet every day.

Maybe she'd needed that too.

OK I'm not gonna call this quite done yet, but I wanna make sure I'm heading in the right direction before I commit fully to the idea/go all out.

Also I do I have a question:

Please provide information on one NPC related to your character in the sheet.

Does this mean literally family? Just anyone that is involved with our character? Or do you perhaps mean one of those characters listed on the character tab? I'm assuming the second option there, but I wanna make sure before I go any farther.

OK, I think it is done now.

I just love the idea of reshaping the terrain and Toph was my favorite character. To me, earth is just more interesting than spewing globs of "insert element here".

Well that's not entirely fair. Every element can do something cool, but earth just takes it for me in this case.

So yeah it's just me picking my favorite and figuring out what I'll do with that as I go.

The Last Avatar.

Neat. Well while I'm here super early... I'm just gonna say earth bending is my favorite so hopefully that doesn't clash with anyone else! Though I'll be surprised if we're all naturally inclined to a different element each.

Be hilarious if we were though. At that point we might as well call it fate. XD

I know at least half of the things in the inspirations section, so color me interested as well!
