Name: Yuka
Titles: Silla (Given at Birth; Means Spirit of the Sky, Wind, and Weather)
Gender: Male
Age: 0
Affiliation: Southern Water Tribe's Wolf Cove, Team Avatar, Reincarnate Alliance
Personality: In his past life there was never a dream too big or a world too far for Yuka. But because of this he tended to spend most of his time in these other worlds than making something substantial of his own. With dreams and aspirations that were endless he never found the "time" or "resources" to accomplish anything. This extreme go-getter attitude came from seeing his brother in and out of the hospital. He wanted to do the things his brother wouldn't be able to or save him from his sickness so that he can. Though, he was truly held back by a fear of success or things not living up to his grand expectations. Despite this he still was able to enjoy the life that he had even if it felt mundane and repetitive at times. Basically he was a perfect target for Truck-Kun, a person brimming with wasted potential. He plans to do things differently in this new world. Always feeling like he was meant for bigger and greater he's going to apply that theory to practice by becoming the hero of this story and world.
°Likes: Food(the man is a foodie), family and friends, sparring and training, pushing his limits, nature and exploring it, reading and writing and watching movies(though he's unable to do that in this era), defeating evil, brainstorming, creating stories, playing video games and games in general(kinda competitive)
°Dislikes: Sushi, fish eggs, poor hygiene, oppression, slavery and forced labor, false imprisonment, jerks, assholes, and the like, senseless murder, injustice of any kind.
°Fears: Losing the people in this world that he grows close to, pressures of success, being a hero/Avatar that makes things worse for the next one.
°Dream: Unite the World in Peace and Love and make a happy life for himself in this world.
Short Biography: In his previous life Yuka was born as Eli, the older brother of Ethan. Growing up the two were inseparable. Ethan was Eli's best friend, but unfortunately Eli couldn't always be there for his little brother. When he wasn't around kids bullied him, but the moment Eli found out he showed each bully why they were correct in fearing him. Eli was always that protective spirit. He was always there to lend a hand or protect someone or something when he was needed. And when Ethan became sick with Cancer he needed Eli the most. They were able to laugh, cry, and dream together. Eli had so many ideas and goals that he was essentially frozen as the world passed by around him. Unable to decide on how things would or should start he found it easier to just build these universes in his head instead of seeing them through in reality. This ranged from films and series to book series to whole comic multiverses. He escaped into these realities as well as the realities provided for him through the media he consumed, finding the different ideas and worlds so exciting, and honestly more exciting than his actual life.
Before he was able to achieve anything for himself or Ethan, Ethan passed away. He thought back to all the conversations they had together and how they spent hours upon hours watching Ethan's favorite show, Avatar the Last Airbender. When Ethan was at his weakest Eli would grab a walking stick and pretend it was a staff and he was Aang. It always cheered him up and Ethan often remarked that he was a natural. This led to Eli becoming fully interested in martial arts and other things that would help him prepare to live in a world like Avatar and the ones he and his brother created, just in case his world became like one. Towards the end of his life he often joked about if Truck-Kun was real he'd be one of his targets. As if testing fate or summoning the blood-thirsty vehicle itself, Yuka was struck by a truck, clinging onto his staff as his life faded. When he died he wasn't sure if he had actually manifested that reality or if he was in some weird coma dream. He decided not to overthink for the first time in his life and just accepted it.
Yuka was born the twin brother of Sokka. This day was considered a major event in the village, in the entire Southern Water Tribe's history. Leading up to their births there was a giant storm, one not seen in the South Pole for ages, if at all. Kya was nervous about giving birth to them in those conditions, but Yuka wasn't giving her a choice. He was ready to enter the world and the world was trying to make itself ready for him. Yuka was born first and instead of crying he entered the world with the closest thing to a giggle he could muster. That alone freaked out everyone involved in the birthing process, but what happened next really left them floored. As if responding to the child's laughter and their birth, the storm outside ceased, the wind calmed, and the snow fell peacefully to the floor. It was clear then that this child was special and would need to be protected. The spirit world sent them a blessing. Sokka's birth was a lot easier and Hakoda and Kya officially welcomed their twins. Word spread to the different tribal villages that the Hope of the Southern Water Tribe was found. They didn't know that Yuka was the Avatar at first. They just assumed he was a powerful bender connected to the spirits, initially dubbing him Silla. It wasn't until the Chief Elders got together that they suggested he was the Avatar and it was the duty of all the Southern Water Tribes to unite once again to protect this bundle of hope for their Tribe and the World.
Yuka was surprised by how fast things were changing with his presence already. His birth jumpstarted the Southern Reconstruction Project about a decade and a half early. What else could happen with this change? Will he be able to save his new mom, Kya? Or will he make things ultimately worse for the Southern Water Tribe?
Inventory:
•
Skills: Both Bending and Non-Bending, update this growing arsenal as needed. You can include skills from your past life, which may potentially provide unique advantages; though, naturally, those skills should be entirely mundane, since your past life lacked any supernatural aspects.
°Martial Arts: In his past life he self-taught himself martial arts so he isn't the best coming out of the gate, but he's pretty good, having actually sparred with people before coming to this world. He mixes quite a number of martial arts.
•Weapon Proficiency: Taught himself how to use weapons like staffs, swords, bows, and guns. Still not a master of any of these, but he's better than your average.
•Muscle Memory(non-comic): In Yuka's past life he had the ability to remember and mimic the things he saw, but limited to what his body was capable of. Just because he could see the perfect split, doesn't mean he could recreate it. He still needed that flexibility. He was also limited by his own doubts about what his body was capable of. He doesn't have those doubts in this world.
•Storyteller: Yuka knows how to tell great stories, whether they're made up or real. He can use this to his advantage when he needs to travel in secret as the Avatar.
•Detective: In his past life Yuka prided himself on his deduction and guessing ability.
•Creativity: Yuka's super creative and uses that creativity to come up with new fighting and bending techniques.
•Survival/Camping Skills: Yuka knows the essentials to camping and has planned contingency plans for zombie apocalypses and alien invasions.
Tropes:
• Another Avatar: Yuka broke the system. Despite Fake Aang being a thing he was summoned to the world as the Avatar of the next cycle, Water.
• Twin of Sokka/Brother of Katara: As if being the Avatar wasn't enough to smack him in the middle of the series he found himself born as the twin brother of Sokka.
• Crystal Memory: Yuka believes his knowledge and memories of the Avatar fandom has been amplified by the Avatar State and strange circumstances of his arrival, though he was a major fan of the franchise in his past life, having watched both(or all three) series, watched both the live action show and movie
, read the comics, watched Avatar what ifs, and participated in Avatar roleplays.
