Wanted to get something up before it was too late! I'll have the rest of Kalani finished later today!

There is something I need to admit, though. Her personality, along with her name and skills are taken from a previous character sheet. I plan to rewrite her history all together, but if any of this is a problem please let me know and I can write up a different character.

Avatar: The Dark Age

Name: Kalani Uwato

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Standing at an average 5 foot 6 inches, and weighing in at a healthy 124 pounds, Kalani considers herself to be at her physical peak. Years of training has shaped her body into an athletic form giving her slender body an hourglass shape and a muscular tone. Hailing from the Northern WaterTribe she was born with the traditional tanned skin, and bright cerulean orbs, however her travels have made her complexion a deep olive brown. With an oval shaped face, high cheekbones, full lips, and a sharp lidded orbs, Kalani has a rather alluring appearance. Long, thick ebony locks sit atop her head which she typically keeps tamed in two long braids with a headband around her forehead. Her style is a hard mix of form fitting to loose, baggy clothing, however it all depends on what she's comfortable with that day. Here are examples of her style.

Abilities:

WaterBending & Combat:
Like her parents before her, and their parents before them and so on, Kalani had shown an affinity for water bending at a young age. Trained by her mother in the beginning, she was taught the basics of the basics—from the origins of her bending and tribe, meditation techniques to control and train her chi, to simple techniques and maneuvers. As she aged and showed more potential, she eventually caught the interest of her Grandfather, Master Iaone Uwato. Training under her him as his protege, she was simultaneously taught the aggressive, offensive technique of Southern WaterStyle, and the strategic, defensive technique of Northern WaterStyle.

In her further studies Kalani was instructed and taught how to Ice Bend. Despite her training in this field, her technique is still sloppy and highly uncontrollable, and even with its powerful advantages she's done more harm with this technique, then good. On the field, Kalani moves in a more aggressive, offensive manner. Quick, resourceful and cunning, her strategies involve hit-or-miss tactics as she prefers short battles opposed to drawn out ones. Naturally assertive and combative, even during training, she has been known to make impulsive, and sometimes rash decisions during critical times.

Healing:
In the North, healing is one of the first techniques taught to all female benders in the tribe, a custom that has been carried through the years despite the scrapping of most of their harsher traditions. Learning this technique at a young age Kalani has acutely trained her skills. Able to heal minor scrapes and cuts, bullet wounds, major burns, and severe lacerations are no problem under her care.

Equipment and Bionics:

- Touch Phone: Kalani's phone means everything to her. Jailbreaking the piece of equipment as to stay anonymous and hidden from the clutches of Future Industries, precious information--including drafts of old articles, eye witness information, testimony, photo's, and video recordings--are all locked safely away within her phone. Caring for it almost like a child, nothing and no one touches her phone without permission unless they want to lose a hand.

- Pistol: Legally owned, the gun is only kept for safety. Despite knowing how to aim, and fire the weapon, she has never had to fire at, or near another person.

Personality:

Kalani Uwato has been called many things in her life. Tenacious. Head strong. Hot tempered. Rebellious. While many of these were directed towards her as insults, she has learned over time to wear these titles like an armor, refusing to let anything or anyone bring her down. Wearing a confident, almost stand-offish outer shell Kalani can come off a bit intimidating or stuck up. In person however, she is far from this. Both intelligent, and witty in conversation, Kalani has always considered herself a people person. Good with her words, and charm, she can typically win someone over after a few minutes of analyzing them.

While her bending is her greatest offense, Kalani considers her voice her greatest weapon. Never afraid of voicing her opinions, or striking up a conversations, she lives for intelligent debates and correcting[s]smashing[/i] misinformation. Kalani has a fantastic knack for charming her way through things. Capable of playing many faces, she can play any role necessary if it means getting her way, or the information she needs. Good with her words, and a heavy understanding for others to boot, she knows how to feed a persons ego and get her way through lying, and pretty words.

Shut off from her own personal issues, she becomes quickly agitated and aggressive whenever pestered, or asked about them. Over analyzing situations that involve friends, or family she tends to assume the worst of things before finding out the truth. It’s rare that she’ll allow herself to get close to anyone, because while she’ll never admit it, those that matter to her have the biggest effect on Kalani, and her self worth. Confident in her opinions, and skill, she was never one to be truly confident in herself. Despite all of this, she still carries a strong, and seemingly poised facade, hiding her true feelings and fearful of any judgement from those who truly matter to her.

Backstory:

Firstborn of the Northern WaterTribes current Chieftain, Kalani was raised in a conservative household where expectations, and rules were meant to guide and shape her future. Heir to the North through heritage she was told how to dress, act, and even talk in public, resulting in little room for her to grow on her own. There were rules for certain rules, and she was taught right from wrong in a very strict manner, while any protest resulted in punishment or the loss of what little freedom she had. The home Kalani had once loved became a prison, and at a young age, she began to rebel.

Her revolt started out small in the beginning. She skipped lessons, and made personal changes to herself such as the way she talked to her peers, or the way she dressed. This didn't go along well with her parents, but Kalani kept on. Craving more then just mannerism, and rules in life, it was these little bits of freedom that gave her the push to strive for more. With age her antics began to grow less subtle, showing obvious rebellion against her everyday agenda, and her parents idea of the perfect child. Refusing to give her space, or even to hear her out, Kalani's parents continued to lectures her on "Responsibility", and "Fate". Dictated by these words all her life, she challenged them at every chance she got. By the time she was a teenager her parents considered her a "loose cannon" and were beginning to consider disinheritance. However this idea was brought to an end once her grandfather, Ioane Uwato, proposed the idea of taking her under his wing as his protege in Republic City.

Despite her disapproval, Kalani was sent to live with her grandfather without a choice. Resenting him at first, she soon came to realize she and her grandfather weren't all that much different. Proud, and aggressive in nature, he was able to relate and connect with Kalani unlike anyone ever before. Furthering her training in WaterBending, he encourage his granddaughter not only to find her individuality in her bending, but in herself -- a freedom she had never received in the North. It was a time of peace for Kalani and rather then giving any past regrets, or troubles the opportunity to pull her down, she was finally allowed to grow, and mature the way she had always wanted. As she aged, and adapted to the lifestyle of Republic City, her interests began to shift towards a less confrontational hobby. Developing a love for journalism, Kalani was able to continue her WaterBending training, as well as furthering her passion in writing with the help, and guidance of her grandfather.

In the past four years Kalani has slowly built up a name, and reputation for herself. Running a popular online blog, and column that discussed current social, and economical issues within the world; her strong views, and large online following eventually caught the attention of United Daily News. Offered a job as a columnist, Kalani accepted the job and has been working for the United Daily News for the past six months. Drawing further into her new calling she's come to realize the true extent of Future Industries power over Republic City, as well as the Nations themselves. Fully aware of the propaganda being spread through television, newspaper, and internet, she has vowed to only post the truth, and nothing but the truth in her pieces. Recently stumbling upon notes, and reports hidden deep within the storage room about a rebel group called the 'Stormcrows', she has begun to research and seek out the resistance in secret. Intrigued simply by their existence, and even growing sympathetic to their cause -- Kalani wishes to help raise awareness of their cause, and aid their efforts to expose, and take down Future Industries.

Things are going to be a bit busy for me, so I should have my characters up later today.
Sorry for the delay. :c

The Walking Dead: Among the Ruined// Spin-Off

Name: Salem Morris

Age: Twenty-Four

Skill:

- In person Salem appears to be tall, and lanky, and with his approachable nature many assume him to be a pacifist, or in a blunter term, weak. This, however, is quite the opposite. Focusing on athletics, including Football, and Weight Training during High School and College, Salem is not only strong physically, but also mentally. Capable of handling himself one on one through combat, his knack for versatility makes it hard for him to be pinned, or succumbed. Cautious with actions, much like his words, he avoids rushing in or making impulsive move making it hard for him to be taken down.

- Be it through pretty words, white lies, or fake promises Salem can lie and manipulate his way out of just about anything. He can and will play any role necessary if it means survival. Unafraid of using others to get his way rumors, and drama are his specialty and throughout his time on the road with Taula, he's sabotaged two other groups this way.

Weapons:

- Machete: Found in the shed, the machete was kept as an inside-joke by his father before eventually being used for gardening.

- Glock 17: Picked up from an undead officer he and Taula ran into while heading out of Euless.

Personality :

Salem has always thought of himself as a people person. Friendly, helpful, and cautious with his words towards most , his approachable nature is seen as his biggest downfall by others--but Salem believes otherwise. Instead of showing his true nature, he prefers others to open themselves to him first. Good with his words, and keeping up this facade, he'll use whatever information or weakness he's gathered from another person if need be. His motto is 'survive-by-any-means-necessary' and he isn't afraid to prove it, doing so many times before. Remaining calm in most situations, he hides a rage deep within that only comes out in tense situations and when dealing with walkers. Therapeutic, but definitely not pretty, Salem finds enjoyment in this release. While internal struggles may be the cause of, his acceptance and adaption to the way things have become is likely a cause as well.

The end of the world was not the end of his, and as long as he's still breathing, Salem will fight tooth and nail to keep on living. Despite his shady nature, deep down Salem really is a good guy. Caring deeply for his friends, and whatever group he and Taula have come to trust, he'd be willing to do anything for the sake of the groups safety. Past all this Taula has, and always will be his best friend. She's the only person he will or can confide to, and no matter the situation she is always the first person he protects, and will defend. She is his biggest weakness, while he'd never admit it, but with some time he's prone to opening up to others.

Brief Bio :

Born and raised in Euless, Texas life was slow and simple for Salem Morris. An only child with divorced parents, he lived with his father for the majority of his life, his mothers whereabouts unknown as she had left them long ago. In his eyes, the small town he had lived in all his life was nothing more then a pit hole. Those who were born in Euless always stayed in Euless, and as welcoming as his hometown was, Salem wasn't about to get sucked into the pit hole he had resented all his life. Meeting Taula was the greatest event change to ever occur in his life, or at least that's what he believes. Dating briefly before returning to friends he cares for her like a sister, and with no siblings to call his own, he considers T, and her brothers family.

Upon the apocalypse Salem had lost contact with his father who was still at work at the DFW Airport. Losing touch and eventually coming to the conclusion that he had had been swarmed with the rest of the community in the city, he eventually made his way to the school and met up with Taula and her brothers. Traveling together for a couple a of months Salem, and Taula lost touch with her brothers on their way to Kingsville in Waco. Despite losing touch with each other they've continued to head south in hopes that they'll run into her brothers on their way to meet up with their Uncle at Texas A&M in Kingsville.

Name: Taula 'T' Koloi

Age: Twenty-Three

Skill:

- Science! - Studying mechanical engineering in College, and a four years of robotics club in high school to back up her credit, T has always been a grease monkey. Like her father, and her eldest brother, Inoke, she shared an interest in cars and fixing things. Inventive, resourceful, and handy even as a child, Taula is capable of fixing most electrical items, including cars, and vehicles alike. Considering herself the female MacGyver, these 'survival' skills have saved her and Salem more then enough times she'd like to admit.

- Not much of a useful skill in the apocalypse, but as President of the Polynesian Club in both High School, and College, T can sing and dance exceedingly well. Her forte lays with traditional songs and dances, but with a photographic memory she has an almost unlimited lists of songs stored in her mind. Since the beginning of the end Taula has kept her voice to herself. Noise itself being dangerous, she's unfortunately lost the will and passion to sing.

Weapon:

- FN Herstal Pistol: Her fathers gun. Kept for safety before the apocalypse, and still being used for safety during.

- Hunting Knife: Given to her as a birthday gift from Salem, the Hunting Knife has helped her on numerous occasions when dealing with walkers, or self defense.

Personality:

Never speaking unless spoken to, Taula is a drawn person. Before the end she wasn't all too different. Quiet, and reserved, she came off as stoic and bitchy to most, but she only reserves that attitude for people she believes deserve it. While stoic, and drawn from others she is capable of having conversations and interacting with others. Highly cautious and untrusting of other survivors it can take T days, to months to warm up to people. Towards her brothers, and Salem, she's more then willing to crack a smile and pick up conversations. Empathetic, and protective of her friends and family, she'd risk anything to protect Salem and her brothers. Inside, Taula has been scarred by the events taken place. Bottling up her stress, and keeping her problems to herself, she's begun to crack more and more each day. Keeping up a strong face and forced mind-set, she carries believing that with hard work and a little hope, anything is possible.

Brief Bio :

Born and raised in Florida, Taula and her family moved to Euless during the beginning of her junior year of high school to live closer to family, and job opportunities. Cynical in ever manner, and resentful towards her parents during the first year in Texas, she came to isolate herself from her family and the people at school. Focusing on her studies, and aiming for College as a way out, she eventually came to meet a group of people that would soon change her life for the better. Meeting Salem and his friends through Football Management, she eventually came to enjoy the small town. The people she surrounded herself with provided her everything she thought she had left in Florida, With Dallas only a fifteen minute drive to the east, and Fort Worth a fourty-five minute drive to west, Taula found enjoyment in both the city and the smaller counties surrounded the HEB community.

Losing both of her parents during the start of the chaos, Taula found Salem near the school with her brothers and barely escaped Euless with their lives. Up until four months ago they had all been traveling together. Struggling no less, but surviving. Running into another group that meant to kill and steal their supplies, Taula and Salem became separated from her three older brothers. Making prior plans to all head south to Kingsville for their Uncle at Texas A&M, she can only hope and pray that she'll meet her brothers and Uncle alive.
