Spoiler: Halick the Storyteller

Name: Halick
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Sexuality: was heterosexual, but has become more of an asexual aromatic person over time.
Home Nation: Earth Kingdom
***
Bender/Non-Bender: Bender
Specialization: Earth/Sandbender. In particular, he can create minutely detailed figures and scenes from sand and earth. He's also a competent fighter, but rarely displays his prowess, as it reminds him of his turbulent past.
Affiliations: He has connections to a group of storytellers from all over the world, who are all dedicated to preserving the legends and history of the four nations.
***
Character Trivia:
- Halick has visited all four nations, though out of all of them, he enjoys Fire Nation food the most.
- His teacher once tried to get Halick to play an instrument to augment his storytelling. He stopped after they got kicked out of six towns in a row.
- He is officially banned from using the Bah Sing Se monorail.
- For a good portion of his life, he couldn't read or write. His teacher eventually forced him to learn, though he still dislikes doing it.
- Halick will talk to anyone, including animals, and can often be found holding conversation with stray animals on the streets of Republic City.
- He prefers living on the streets to living in an actual house, even though he has the money to buy one.
- Due to his time in the desert, he's a great survivalist, though his instincts have been detrimental on more than one occasion.

History: Halick has a long and varied past. He wasn't always Halick the storyteller. In his youth, he was a notorious highwayman in the earth kingdom. However, during a visit to the misty palms oasis that went terribly wrong, Halick ended up trapped in the Si Wong desert, where he nearly died. He was recovered by sandbenders. They saved his life, and he started living among them, and learned sandbending. Eventually he left the desert many years later, and wandered aimlessly for several years. One day, while in a small Earth Kingdom village, he met a storyteller from the Water Tribe. Halick ended up telling the storyteller his entire life story after a few drinks. Instead of turning him in, the storyteller offered him an apprenticeship and a new name, Halick. The two traveled together for many years, but eventually split when the storyteller decided Halick was competent enough to travel on his own, finding new stories and spreading them all over the world.

[Ceyrise]

Spoiler: Princess from the South

Spoiler: Picture

Name: Elkie
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual Biromantic
Home Nation: Southern Water Tribe
***
Bender
Specialization: Waterbender, Offensive Ice, Switching Water States
Affiliations: Southern Water Tribe, White Lotus, Master Korine, Team Avatar
***
Character Trivia:

• Elkie is a sweet and thoughtful person. There is a grace about her that has a calming effect on other people, and her kindness and soft smile can help to cure even the deepest of wounds.
• She strives to treat others fairly and with compassion, believing that everyone is human and equal. This can change, depending on the actions or individuals, but she tries to offer those in need or strangers what little light she can.
• Elkie has a shy streak, and has some trouble making new friends or talking about herself and her interests. But, once she manages to do so, she is very talkative and upbeat with her loved ones and loves to have fun together with them.
• She has a cool head under pressure and will make sure a situation is dealt with to the best of her abilities before she ever really processes it for herself.
• Don’t mistake her kindness for weakness. Just like water can be nurturing or devastating, Elkie is the same way. She doesn’t take well to betrayal, or to people who would try to hurt or harm others. Although she may not like fighting very much, she’ll do it to protect her people and her ideals.
• Hailing from the Southern Water Tribe, she is close with her family back home, and has many friends that she looks forward to seeing when she visits.
• Her grandfather is the leader of the tribe, which technically makes her a princess, though she seems to get flustered and embarrassed when people in Republic City bring this up, or when friends back home playfully tease her about it.
• She is a perfectionist, and while she doesn’t get upset or discouraged if she messes up something she’s working on, she will keep attempting whatever it is until the results are satisfactory to her.
• Elkie is a hopeless romantic and likes to daydream and imagine a sweet and wonderful relationship for herself in the future, with a partner who is patient and gentle.
• The waterbending style she uses is a little bit more aggressive than the usual style of the south. This might be something she picked up from her teacher, Korine.
• Another thing about her bending is that she excels in changing the form of her water with just the slightest flick of her wrist. In combat, she employs ice much more often than the average waterbender.
• She loves to braid and style hair and is known to be good at it where she is from. For her, it’s a bit of a communal act, so she enjoys catching up and chatting with people when she works on their style.
• Elkie is an emotional person who feels things very deeply. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, there are times where she might feel hurt by someone or something, even if the slight was only something small.
• Her hobby is baking, and she’s known to make lots of treats and goodies for her friends and even her teachers.
• She has some level of anxiety and worries that she might be letting her loved ones down, or that she has unintentionally hurt someone, or that eventually, people will be sick of her.
• Elkie really likes animals, and will try to pet and feed the ones owned by her acquaintances if they seem friendly.

History:
Born in the Southern Water Tribe, Elkie comes from a big, happy family. As a child, she was surrounded by people who loved and supported her, including her grandfather—the South’s Chieftain. Often, she played in the snow with her cousins and her friends, and Elkie knew she could always count on an auntie or an uncle if she needed help sans parents. Said parents adored her, as she was, and still is, an only child. They were patient and kind to her and raised her to be a sweet but strong girl who could make her way in the world and stand-up for her ideals.
When she was around six years old, Elkie discovered her waterbending one day when she was playing with some seal otters a little way outside the main town. Her parents and family were ecstatic. To start off her journey as a waterbender, Elkie trained alongside her mother, grandfather, and cousins. Out of her generation, it quickly became apparent that she had the most natural skill at it. Elkie progressed from practicing with only family members to working under proper teachers and instructors, and her skills improved immensely. She even thought she was pretty good!
At age sixteen, she received what her family considered a very prestigious offer to train under one of the greatest masters in the South Pole—Master Korine. Elkie accepted right away and realize... she wasn’t so good after all! Working with Korine was different and more challenging than any of her previous instructors, but despite that, her abilities improved at a much more drastic rate than they ever had before. Elkie continues to train under Korine, hoping to be as good of a waterbender as she is one day. Recently, Elkie has undertaken a move to Republic City in order for Korine to teach the new Avatar. And although she misses her family and is a little uncertain about the big city, Elkie is excited to see what kind of adventures await her in the future.

• Tends to use Zaofu styled clothing for fancy or official occasions. When just out about town, sports an outfit like Asami's uniform.

• Hu:
• 

History: Jade's parentage is something of a closely guarded secret. She is the illegitimate daughter of the current king of the Earth Kingdom, who sired her and her twin brother with a fire nation noble woman. It was hushed up on both sides, leaving the mother in a small estate near Omashu to raise the two bastard children. Jade and her brother Altan grew up as trouble makers, which was exacerbated when their bending came out. Jade took after their father with earth bending while Altan inherited their mother's fire bending. It was not till they were nearly in their teens when they learned who their father truly was.
A few years later, the pair ran away from their mother to go meet their father. With their ingenuity and bending, they managed to make it not only to Ba Sing Se, but into the royal place itself. It was their they met not only their father, but their step-mother and half siblings. Enraged at their presence, their father belittled them and their mother, saying they belonged in the gutter along with their mother. This crushed the Jayaatu siblings, causing Altan to fly into a rage and attack the king. Jade tried to stop him, but in his blind rage he lashed out at her, destroying her arm. Jade was never sure exactly what happened next, except that Altan got them out of there, and that the royal family were left alive. As the twins hid in Ba Sing Sa for a few weeks to regain strength, both Jade and Altan tried to deal with the emotional toll of their father's rejection and scorn. Even in her misery, Jade could tell that Atlan was deeply effected by not just their shared trauma, but also by what he had done to her. He began to fear his bending, causing his control to further deteriorate till he just didn't use it anymore.
Once Jade was strong enough to travel, they made their way back home to find that it had been leveled. Their mother, turned out of her own and stripped of her income, was living on the streets of Omashu. When they found her, she was already sick. Jade quickly came up with the plan to move to Republic City to start anew. The Jayaatu family gathered what they could and began their journey. Not even a third of the way to their destination, and mother's illness took a turn for the worse. The buried her with what rites and ceremony she had taught them of Fire National culture. With only each other to count on, Jade and Altan pushed on.
Upon arriving in Republic City, the twins were astonished by the mixed cultures they encountered there. With no money, they nearly fell in with the Triads if not for catching the eye of a retired RCPD Officer named Po. He gave them a place to stay til they could "get back on their feet". Seeing that Jade was a fellow earth bender, Po began expanding her training, including the secrets of metal bending. She took to the advanced technique well, surprising the old copper when she was able to use metal bending to make a crud prosthetic arm. He was also trying to keep Altan from taking apart every piece of technology he had, but soon stopped when he found that the boy could put them back together in perfect working order. Realizing the twins had skills, Po got them in touch with an old friend in Future Industries. After a couple of demonstrations, the Jayaatu twins received apprenticeships to Future Industries.
The next few years were some of the best in Jade's memory. She and Altan learned a lot about building and designing the machines of the future. It even seemed like Altan's depression was subsiding as his talent for technology blossomed. Jade even got him to try to use his fire bending in making their machines. After they're apprenticeships ended, the Jayaatu twins were given new roles as designers for Future Corp. The shrewd Po managed to get them a good deal on their designs, and keep the Future Industries from taking advantage of them. When the pair were about 20, their design for an assembly line motorcars with interchangeable parts revolutionized the industry, making cars cheaper and faster to make. This accomplishment led Wang Kasai, the president of Future Industries, to award the twins with their own ownership stake in the company.
But good things don't always last. During work on a prototype of his "aeroplane" design, Altan lost control of his bending again. Luckily, only minor burns resulted from the accident, but that loss of control opened up old wounds. Jade tried desperately to help her brother, but each day he drifted further away. One day Jade went to the workshop to find Altan had taken his own life. Jade nearly fell into despair herself, but was aided by friends she had made in Republic City, and by Po, who was too stubborn to see her give up. She kept working at Future Industries, trying to keep some of her brother's ideas and inventions alive.

RikuXIII Hi there!! I LOVE Jade, her story is so intriguing and well-thought out, I can tell you really put a lot of work into her!! Accepted!

 

[Moomba]

Spoiler: Harrane Shatterhand

Name: Harrane Shatterhand.
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Home Nation: Air Nomad
***
Bender/Non-Bender: Airbender
Specialization: Harrane can create sounds by vibrating the air with airbending. Combine this with her perfect pitch, and she can find the resonating frequency of an object and destroy or weaken it with a touch. She's mastered using this technique on humans (mostly) and can even knock people out instead of straight up killing them.
Affiliations: A mercenary, works for whoever hires her.
***
Character Trivia:
- Harrane tends to act very lazy, almost seeming half asleep at times. This is just an act however, and she drops it during combat.
- In certain circles, Harrane, or her moniker, Shatterhand is nothing short of a legend.
- Years as a fugitive have taught her to hide her bending when necessary.
- She has escaped several prisons.
- She enjoys tea immensely, and spends quite a bit of her spare time in tea shops.
- Harrane cannot stand people playing instruments off-key, and its one of the only things that actually angers her.
- She wears a long coat that can be used as a glider in a pinch.
- It's exceedingly hard for her to destroy sound-absorbent materials.
- While lacking formal education or an interest in the arts, Harrane is a problem solver and given time can think her way out of nearly any situation.

Background: Harrane had a mostly normal childhood, though she was born with perfect pitch. In her early teens, she developed an airbending technique that allowed her to create sound via airbending. There weren't many practical applications for it, and it was hard to do unless you had an in-depth understanding of pitch and sound, so it ended up mostly as a party trick for Harrane to show off. A few years later, when Harrane was playing around with her sound creating technique, she destroyed a clay pitcher by attuning to its resonating frequency while holding it. A couple of attempts later and she ended up causing a structural collapse of part of the air temple. She was subsequently banished by the Air Nomads and moved to Republic City.
Harrane ended up homeless in the city. She was quickly exposed to the harsh realities of life on the street. One night, while sleeping in an alley, she was surprised by a couple of Triad street toughs. She ended up killing one and dropping part of a building on the other. She was imprisoned pending trial for destruction of property and (technically) murder. Harrane escaped that night by weakening her cell wall and punching through. In need of money and a place to stay, she started working as a mercenary. Over her years as a soldier of fortune, she's worked for Triad bosses, business titans and even government officials.

[ScatheAriiasqDrayceon]

Spoiler: Ariiasq Kaedos

Name: Ariiasq (Aree-ash-k) Kaedos
Aliases:
-CrowCall
-Flame (red)
-Seven

Age: 14-15-ish; they don't keep track.
Gender: Nonbinary
Sexuality: Ace/Aro
Home Nation: Fire nation, though, they were raised out in the forest.
***
Bender/Non-Bender: Bender; fire.
Specialization:
-Heatbending
Ariiasq is not built to take hits; they aren't good at tanking through attacks or keeping up a solid offense. What they are good at, though, is dodging constantly until they get an opening to perform devastating attacks. Sound familiar? Yeah. Ariiasq fights like an airbender, for the most part, using their bending to accentuate their excellent hand-to-hand combat skills.

Their bending relies on some combination between air, fire, and waterbending motions, fluid and spiraling on an axis to evade while readying a sudden and vicious attack.

They have not been able to summon fire, themself. Ever; only use what is available to them.

Affiliations:
-Part of the Shadow-Step organization

***
Character Trivia:

-Will worship the ground you walk on for a strawberry/banana smoothie
-Doesn't actually like eating
-Once they amass enough heat, the air will combust (basically the heat burns carbon if it's above a certain temperature)
-The hottest fire they've ever gotten was white-red and it was in a volcano. They also passed out immediately afterwards
-Has trouble staying still
-Has an air-bender-like glider, though it is much bigger and needs a high-spot (like a large tree) to actually get in the air, even if Ariiasq makes a thermal for it.

History:

-Was raised in the forest by birth parents like a wild changeling child
-Lived just down the mountains of nesting dragons because they offered protection from most forest predators
-Fucked up and ended up nearly drowning in the ocean
-Was picked up by a well-meaning doctor, who, in response, got three bite scars for his trouble
-Parents decided "Eh, fuck it," and moved and now no one can find them
-Mr. Doctor man kept them with him and they've been traveling and training with him ever since

Spoiler: Jet Kaedos

Name: Arian Kaedos
Aliases:
-Jet (Black)
-NightOwl
-Six
-Reaper

Age: 37
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Asexual Homoromantic
Home Nation: He doesn't really have one; travels too much
***
Bender/Non-Bender: Bender
Specialization:
-Lightning bender
Jet is much like Arii, in that his personality is too different for the bending art to bend properly. He's soft and flowing, not avoiding, but finding the easiest way around a situation. This resulted in him taking well to lightning-bending, under the instruction of one of the Shadow-Step higherups. Before that, he honestly thought he was a nonbender.

Affiliations:
-Part of the Shadow-Step organization
***
Character Trivia:

-Metal plating along his back is a storage unit for electricity so he only has to pull it
-Uses his sense for electricity to help people
-He's a doctor
-Calls the feel of electricity a "pull", something that "races up your body and urges you to move"
-Disgustingly high tolerance for how much chi lightning pulls
-Dancer for a decent establishment
-Exact height is 7'6", but he wears heels often with a false platform so it makes him look much, much shorter.
-Gets seasick easy
-Terrified of water


History:

-Was born on a boat
-Where he promptly decided water was terrifying and legged it back to land.
-His parents were so disappointed in him
-Traveled around various places in various ways, but never on a boat. Ever.
-Managed to get in contact with the Shadow-Steps at some point (near early teens)
-Joined and started training with them
-"Oh, hey, I can lightning bend. Cool."
-Moves on with his life and keeps traveling.
-Finishes med training and starts actually working
-Proceeds to get cut several times in the face by a patient,
-Eventually runs across the feral bastard child that is Ariiasq
-"...Does anyone own this angry redhead?"
-Does not wait for an answer.
-Adoption ensues.
-Continues traveling with the Guild and newly-acquired bastard child.
-Moves to Republic City to continue his medical career

Spoiler: Lazy drawing of these two

Name: Senya (Earl of Embers)
Age: 20 (?)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual
Home Nation: Air Nomads (Fire Nation)
***
Bender/Non-Bender: Non-Bender (Bender)
Specialization: Nomad-Style Evasion/Redirection, prefers not to go on the attack (Unorthodox Firebending in the forms of sporadic, passionate acrobatics/ Knife-Specialist/Dragon's Breath)

Affiliations: Air Nomads
***
Character Trivia:​

• Senya's generally a passive individual who prefers watching over acting. (The Earl is an Emotional roller coaster who's unquenchable lust for Money and Fun has driven him for years)​
• Has a Pet Lemur named Nox who she cared for while Living with the Air Nomads. (The Earl has no known contacts, making it difficult to ascertain how exactly he gets info about his targets.)​
• Senya enjoys the lack of commitment that comes with being a homeless wanderer, often setting off to wander at random for one reason or another. (The Earl enjoys fine clothing and even finer items, though what he does with the stuff he steals is currently unknown.)​
• Nox is an extremely cautious Lemur that sees most new people or creatures as threats, despite this he's developed something of a symbiotic relationship with Senya.​
• Senya often speaks in Quasi-Philosophical Ponderings (The Earl of Embers has been confronted several times during his crime sprees, but many say he only produces shrill psychotic laughter when confronted.)​
• Curiosity is Senya's middle name, and she will often find herself investigating random things arbitrarily, coincidentally this also makes her quite knowledgeable in odd fields. (Danger is the Earl's Middle Name, and the scale of his thievery has only grown more and more drastic as time goes on.)​
• Senya's Curiosity has led her to link up with certain individuals, many of which still hold grudges on her for a number of reasons. (The Earl's Greed has led him to make numerous enemies, both official and criminal organizations want him captured or killed.)​
• Its quite easy to mistake Senya's passive nature as careless, as she doesn't often get directly involved with things when she can. (Its quite easy to mistake the Earl's explosive abilities and manic laughter as insanity, but the thefts he's been able to pull off without a trace indicate a devious amount of cunning overshadowed by his flashy mannerisms.)​
• Professional Liar (Professional Liar)​

History: Senya is an odd one, as much of her early childhood is largely unknown. She was found by several Air Nomads when she was only seven, lost and wandering without purpose. She was taken in by the Air Nomads and raised among them, eventually adopting much of their customs and mannerisms and even befriending a lemur of her own. However, Senya grew obsessed with the concept of inner peace due to this influence, and left the Northern Air Temple as just a young girl to seek out her own self-actualization. For someone so young, travelling the world seemed to come naturally to her, and she's managed to see quite a few places already.

But what many don't realize is that this young monk-like youngster is actually the Earl of Embers, a catastrophically self-indulgent thief who's been pulling large scale burglaries ranging from the Fire Nation all the way to the Earth Kingdom. Not long after she began her quest for self-realization, Senya's dangerous trek into the world on her own soon birthed a new obsession, a thirst for adrenaline that acting out as the Earl satiated. And while maintaining her initial role as a philosophical vagrant who wanders the land for experience, she's already decided that the self-actualization she initially sought was the Earl of Embers.

And due to her generally lackadaisical and passive nature, Reverence for Air Nomad Customs and Mannerisms, and ultimately humble and philosophical lifestyle, its currently unimaginable for her to be the cackling firebending masked madman who's been running amok for years.




Name: Narkan Dhorm
Age: 67
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Home Nation: Republic City
***
Bender/Non-Bender: Non-Bender
Specialization: Trained Duelist/ Handy with a sword yet far from his capabilities in his prime.

Affiliations: Republic City Council Candidate, Owner of the Republic Builder's League and a chief member of the Independent Labor Union, Former Republic City Officer
***
Character Trivia:​

• Narkan's found himself weathered by the years, and constantly looks like he's exhausted despite his rather perceptive persona.​
• Narkan has a deeply instilled love for Republic City as a whole, and consistently voices concerns over any threats to it.​
• "Ah, just breathe in that City air. You don't get this kind of olfactory confusion from those other lands I can tell you that much!​
• Though amicable in the social scene, Narkan is renown for being an extremely shrewd businessman.​
• He often utilizes his reputation for calculated business decisions in order to blindside people with japery he's developed in his older years.​
• "Oh come now, kiddo. Casmian Hot Sauce on roasted Tigerworm's not hazardous, we just made that rumor up to have it all for ourselves, ya know?"​
• Despite his rugged appearance, Narkan has an immense number of friends both business and old colleagues.​
• There's rumors abound that Narkan's a member of some kind of Underground Republic City Cadre of Elites.​
• "I'm sorry, but I can't take threats to our City lightly. You better hope that the Police are more forgiving than I am."​
• Currently Campaigning for a seat on the Republic City Council​
• Has taken up the hobby of Painting.​

History: Once a young lad determined to protect Republic City in its early years, Narkan was the quintessential model officer of his time. In fact, he was such a decorated officer that when he left his position at only age thirty, many were understandably confused. He had many years of service left to offer, but Narkan simply stated that the City no longer needed him on the force. Instead, he spent two years as a bouncer for one of the up and coming clubs in Republic City before moving out for a year of traveling. But once he returned, he brought with him a new dedication to the City's infrastructure instead of just its protection.

Utilizing a surprising cunning for investment and foundation, Narkan would spend the next two decades of his life becoming a powerhouse in the local construction scene. Under him, the Republic Builder's League became the premiere Construction company, coincidentally making him quite the wealthy patron. A good lump of those funds were redirected towards the Independent Labor Union, even more was reinvested. Financially secure and finding himself with more free time in his later years, Narkan eventually began campaigning to gain a spot on the Republic City Council in order to represent not one of the four nations but the City itself.​

History:
A provincial native of the fire nation, Okkoto was born into the Shen family with high expectations, while not nobility they were well known for the many honor's received from military service, the Shen's also produced exceptional fire benders, so when Okkoto was born and hadn't shown the ability to bend it was quite a shock. His older brother, Kazan, however seemed born a prodigy fire bender. Okkoto's mother Senna, hailed from the northern water tribe and taught him all the old stories and traditions of her home spending more time with Okkoto than his father did. Kazan was his father's favorite, often taking his older brother with him into the capital on business or personally training him in fire bending. Erlang's favoritism and the bullying that he was subjected to by older boys drove Okkoto to try and become as good a fighter as Kazan. One day after he had been cornered by older boys who were incidentally Kazan's friends an old man had drove them off. Okkoto had recognized the old man as the same one who had previously stopped an armed robbery with only his cane. After enough begging, Ravan, the old man decided to teach Okkoto to defend himself. For the next 9 years until he was 14, Ravan would teach Okkoto ancient martial arts practiced by non benders in the fire nation. By the time he was 10 Okkoto had become quite the troublemaker his antics were in stark contrast to his brother who had devoted himself to his studies and fire bending. Although often chided by Ravan not to start fights, Okkoto nevertheless fought regardless if the odds were in his favor or not. Erlang couldn't ignore his second son's fighting spirit and determination and began to take a more active role in Okkoto's life. His extreme progress and voracious appetite for learning had less Ravan intensify Okkoto's training regimes. Eventually Erlang began to notice the muscle and agility that Okkoto had developed and began taking him into the capital along with Kazan. While on one of these trips, Okkotp had saw a demonstration of students from the capital fencing academy and had begged his father to see if he could get in. The timing had been right as Erlang had managed to secure Kazan a scholarship in the Royal fire academy for boys. The family packed their things and headed off to the capital, after saying their goodbyes, Okkoto expressed his worries of not having learned enough, Ravan reassured him that he had been taught everything the old man had knew and he was more than capable. Okkoto was an instant classic with the other non-bending nobility at the academy as well as being a natural, his rebellious and carefree nature endeared him to the instructors despite his penchant for mischief. Okkoto mastered multiple weapons and arts in record time while Kazan displayed excellence in all areas of his studies causing their father to swell with pride. When Kazan graduated top of his class he was offered a position in the royal guard, the prestige brought to his family name was immense, and Okkoto once again found himself living in the shadow of his brother. His tenure at the fencing academy was approaching an end, and he had arisen among the ranks of the students to the top of his class. It was theorized that he too would join the ranks of the royal guard. As a field trip the boys were given a tour of the royal palace. Little had he known that what he had thought was just another servant or hand maiden had actually been the princess. Okkoto with his lack of filter and toothy grin had made her laugh and smile, much to the ire of his brother who was assigned to the princesses detail. After learning of her actual position Okkoto had nearly died of embarrassment, something she also took much entertainment from. After his graduation instead of applying for the guard like almost all of his friends and family thought he would, Okkoto instead decided to leave the capital and have an adventure of sorts much to the chagrin of his father, not wanting to be confined to the world of etiquette and court intrigue like his brother. He hitched a ride to republic city with only his sword and the clothes on his back. Despite everything he heard the city was far from how he imagined it from the poverty, crime, and chaos, he felt like he was somewhere he belonged. A promoter from a fighting organization had noticed his skills in unarmed combat in the multiple bar room brawls that often took place in the seedier areas of republic city, after getting him to join the promotion he quickly rose to competing in undercard fights with a number one contender spot likely in the works. His moniker, the "Dancing Dragon" became instantly recognizable and he has gained a cult following as a popular underdog. In Okkoto's mind, his adventure is only beginning.

Character Trivia:

• Yoko is the daughter of a Fire Nation noble and a well-known Republic City Socialite.
• Yoko has 4 brothers, three older and one younger.
• Due to the above, Yoko is more rugged than her usual lady-like attitude and appearance might indicate.
• Yoko can be rather persuasive, both verbally and physically (in all senses that might imply).
• Yoko is the kind of woman to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She doesn't purposely try to step over others to do so, but if a few feathers are ruffled along the way so be it.
• She's incredibly cynical and doesn't trust others easily.
• She cares way more than she lets on.
• Her biggest secret is that her noble house is on the verge of financial ruin and she lives humbly when she's not hobnobbing with Republic City's elite.

History: "Marry rich so you and your brothers can be happy." This is what Yoko was told from a young age by her father. In truth, happiness was all she ever wanted. Her mother passed away while giving birth to her younger brother when Yoko was still fairly young and her father became cold and distant, leaving her and her brothers largely in the care of their paternal grandmother and what few servants the family could still afford to pay. She was close with her brothers growing up, often sitting in on their lessons when she wasn't busy with her own. She and her oldest brother were both prodigious firebenders, so they had lessons that also included firebender training and so the two of them were particularly close. Which complicated things when in her early teen's her brother had his first significant romantic relationship and she went from her eldest brother's most important relationship to his second most important one. This naturally drove a wedge in the relationship, at least for a young Yoko.

It was around the same time that her father really started to emphasize that she needed to marry rich. The family's financial situation had started to deteriorate at a faster rate than before and her father figured that there were maybe 10 years left until they were left completely ruined. Longtime family servants started to be let go at alarming rates and it was all her father could do to keep the family manor from being foreclosed on. This was something that the other nobles in the Fire Nation naturally took notice of and while some of them wanted to help the family, Yoko's father was a stubborn man and wanted the family to get out of their financial troubles on their own.

When Yoko turned 18 she made her formal debut in the Fire Nation, but her father's stubbornness and continued financial turmoil had made the other noble families hesitant to tie their family into her's. After 4 more years, the family finally succumbed to their money problems. While her brothers got jobs, Yoko moved to Republic City in order to perhaps find a way to reverse her family's fortunes. Now all she needs to do is find a wealthy man who won't immediately turn her down when they find out she's not actually rich.

Easier said than done.
