[MrThe]

This is my character, which doubles as a template that you can use for your character.

Name: Changyu "Senbon" Chen
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Faction: White Lotus
Bending/Martial Art: Chi Blocker
Bio: Changyu was the son of a well to do restaurant owner from Republic City. His father would hold many Pai Sho tournaments at his shop, although he hardly played it himself. Changyu would take great interest in these games of Pai Sho and would often take part. And with many of the shop patrons being delighted at his interest, they began teaching him how to play and how to play well. Thankfully Changyu's father was very supportive of his hobby and would let him compete in the various tournaments around Republic City and pretty soon Changyu became well known in professional circuits, eventually travelling far away to compete in Pai Sho. That was how he learned of the White Lotus, which was now for the large part operating openly. It was also during his time playing Pai Sho that he learned Chi Blocking at the insistence of his father who believed that a Strong mind and Strong Body goes together. It was lucky for Changyu that one of the great Chi Blocking masters of the day just so happened to be a good friend of his because they would play Pai Sho. It was under the tutelage of this Chi Blocking master that he would be inducted into the White Lotus. It was a sad day when he lost his good friend and master when his master refused to pay off the Triads and was killed because of it. It was that incident that convinced him to join Republic City Police Department and he now heads the Police Department's Special Triad Investigation Force, geared specifically to combat the triads in addition to other "subversive groups" that Republic City want's to keep an eye on.

[Svisttt]

Name:
Sehon Kisaragi

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

Faction:
Ken'ichi's Cafe

Bending/Martial Art:
Chi-blocker​

Personality:
To say Sehon is stubborn and brash would be a huge understatement. Though she is the middle child among her two brothers, both tend to consider her to be the hot headed brat of the group. She finds it difficult to sort things out using words, and often times sees problems as things that can be smacked around or yelled at until they're resolved. Her combative and stubborn nature often lands her into trouble, leaving her no stranger to fights.

Sehon's relentlessness isn't all bad, though. It leaves her passionate towards things she takes interest in- be it people, hobbies, or dreams. She can be loyal to a fault, although much like with the things she takes issue in, Sehon often expresses her affections for people in a rather aggressive manner. Her care is tough love, but it's love nonetheless. She treats people close to her like they are siblings, on par with her own blood related brothers. She is typically an energetic girl, using parkour and martial arts associated with chi-blocking as her outlets for just about everything.

Her sweet tooth knows no bounds, and her appetite seems endless at times. Though it typically isn't expected, Sehon is quite cleanly (most of the time) and tries her best to maintain good table manners. At least, until someone ticks her off and plates start being thrown.

Bio:
Sehon grew up in a chaotic household with her two brothers Michio and Takeshi, and her mother and father. Despite her parents being around during her childhood, she often thought it wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't been. Takeshi, the eldest of the siblings, might as well have been the one to raise her and her little brother, with their parents often times being too busy working, or too absorbed in themselves to focus on their kids. Sehon often wondered if the pair cared about them, and had a tendency to lash out at the people around her as an outlet for her pent up emotions.​

Though her parents may as well have been completely neglectful of her and her siblings, life in their little home in Republic City wasn't all that bad. Sehon has surprisingly fond memories of play wrestling with her brothers in the mud after rain, or pretending they were the pro-benders they heard about on the worn down radio their parents kept around. The kids weren't benders, nor their mother, although their dad was a firebender. Sehon had always been a little upset she didn't inherit her dad's bending- although maybe that was for the best.

School had never really been Sehon's strong suit. She goofed off a lot during her younger years, usually to get noticed, and only paid attention enough to just barely pass classes. As a result, she lagged behind in a lot of things education wise, and to this day still struggles a bit to read and do things like math. Her brothers weren't in any of her classes due to all of them being in different grades, and she didn't have very many friends- more often than not Sehon was aggressive towards her fellow classmates, so she had no one to blame but herself. Unsurprisingly, her hotheadedness got her into quite a few fights, many of which resulted in Takeshi scolding her and helping take care of her bruises and other injuries she picked up.

Things began to change for her when she was 13. Sehon had, once again, picked a fight with a few older kids and had ran throughout the bustling city to get away from them. She stumbled into a little cafe run by a man named Ken'ichi, who let her hang out there as long as she wanted. They talked for a long while, until the sun drooped down and Sehon and to go home, although she returned to the cafe practically every day after school. She eventually learned after awhile that Ken'ichi was a chi-blocker and taught martial arts and meditation classes in his free time, and she somehow convinced the man to teach her everything. She still isn't sure why he agreed, although she's glad he did. Chi-blocking and martial arts ended up becoming a good outlet for her, and meditation... well, she didn't exactly have the focus and patience for it, although she tried her best and occasionally still uses breathing techniques she learned to keep herself calm headed. Sehon began working/volunteering as a waitress at the cafe when she was 15, in a way to pay Ken'ichi back for everything he was doing for her. Besides- she had went there all the time, anyways.

In addition to the things Ken'ichi was teaching her, Sehon picked up doing parkour in her free time, although it's never been something she's particularly focused on. Just a hobby to keep her busy, mostly. Sehon tried to teach her brothers a bit of chi=blocking at some point, although she swiftly discovered she just wasn't the teaching type, and more of the I'll- hit-you-til-you-finally-figure-it-out kind of girl.

She moved out of the old creaky house she'd lived in her whole life when she turned 18, and managed to get a small place of her own. Sehon's done her best to... not hit people so much now that she's an actual semi-functioning adult. She still works at Ken'ichi's Cafe in the present and enjoys going to pro-bending matches with her brothers every now and then (who are currently 15, and 22). She still doesn't spend much time with her parents, although she goes to visit them occasionally to see her younger brother.

Skills/Abilities:
• Pretty flexible
• Good stamina
• Quick on her feet
• Relatively good reflexes
• Skilled in martial arts

Weaknesses:
• Unable to read, write, or do math very well
• Finds it difficult to think up strategies ahead of time
• I think it's safe to safe she has a few anger issues
• Can't deal hard hits
• As a chi-blocker, she can't do much against people in armor
• Pretty much has to be in close range of her opponent to fight them

[capMARVELOUS]

Name: Tao
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Faction: Nana Cheng's Porcelain Shop
Bending/Martial Art: Earthbender
Biography: The daughter of two earthbenders, Tao unfortunately never got to learn too much of the art. The only things she got under her belt were the bare basics before her mom and dad decided to go on a tour around the world. They left her with her nonbending aunt, Nana Cheng, at her porcelain shop in Republic City, where she resides to this day, still waiting for her parents to come home and finish those earthbending lessons. Because there's nobody she'd rather have teach her. In recent times, it's become increasingly hard for Tao to keep out of all the political strife going on in Republic City, what with the seeming increase in anti-bender sentiment.
Appearance:

Other: She can often be seen on assorted street corners, playing a sitar (which she learned how to play from Nana Cheng) for some extra coin.

She was taken from her family at a young age by a group of assassins that realized her potential and put her through their training for years to come. By the time she was old enough to be placed under a district of contract she had become desensitized to killing, learned a variety of espionage tactics, swordsmanship and many bending techniques through diligent practice her only drive being that she could see her family once more. This however would never come to pass in the way she dreamt as upon her attempt to reconnect with her family she found that they had been murdered by her sect shortly after they had taken her to keep them silent. An inner rage filled the young woman but she realized the futility of trying to take down the organization on her own.

[Karcen]

Name: Palle (pay lee)
Age: 27
Gender: female
Bending: water also lightning style fighting
Apperance:

Spoiler: Apperance

Spoiler: normal clothes

History: Palle is a native of the island of oklanu (Oak a na lui) a very isolated island only recently discovered. The people's legends say they were from a great tribe above and they were going to the lesser tribe below but the moon spirit tricked them and led them astray. This lead them to anger the lightning spirit Palle who strum thier ships down and stranded them. After this the world forgot them and they adapted to life on thier new home creating new legends and a new culture. Nothing important to Palle happened until 80 years ago when a fire nation ship far off course and lost was struck by the angry spirit and crashed ashore. It was lucky for the tribe that the crew was dead though to them the ship was cursed they knew it was a ship but it was made of something unnatural and declared off limits. No one would mess with it until Palle herself when she was only 11. Being a Courious child she entered the wreak and was nearly killed by the traps inside but this to her ahoweed this strange ship wasn't magic but something else. Palle decided she would figure out the ship and how these things worked. Palle worked on this for 10 years and honestly she managed the basics but building anything great or even understanding it was far off.

It was 6 years ago that the outside world intruded upon the island as finally human ingenuity out did the wrath of the spirits. Landing on what they thought would be an uninhabited island the explorers were shocked to find the tribe. The tribe was just as shocked as to them nothing could withstand Palle's wrath and yet here were outsiders. Comunicating was a challange in the start as language had changed in the near thousand years the tribe had lived here. Still they managed it by going back to the old tounge and doing some trial and error. While Palle was not exactly in on the meetings and negotiations she was never far often sneaking on this new ship to play with its goodies.

By the end of a year which the explores stayed it had been arranged for Palle to go to the outside as that was something she had wanted to do so she could learn from them while one of the team stayed to learn from the tribe. With the deal sealed Palle was taken off her only home and to republic city to be studied and study herself with those of higher learning. She was given a crash course in language so she could at least answer cultural questions.

Thus she has stayed mostly away from prying eyes and society at large to fulfill her end of the deal and to invent new things. Her greatest work is her lightning hands a system allowing her to use electricity as if bending it through science. Still she has not learned much if republic city itself and finally is being allowed out by herself.

 

[Darth Tangent]

Name: Taiki Matsuo aka Camel Spider
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Faction: Pro-bending--Bau Ling Buzzard Wasps/Vigilante
Bending/Martial Art: Earth-bender
Forms of Bending: Regular and Metal
Bio: Born to a semi-successful pro-bending father and gifted nurse mother, physical health and skill were always a part of Taiki's life. If not in school, Taiki was around his father, learning how to earth-bend. Although his father favored a "tough love" approach to teaching and child-rearing, his mother was there to make sense of Taiki's mistakes or explain why he got punished. Despite the usual disagreements, Taiki loved his parents. He constantly sought to impress them. Since his father couldn't really metal-bend, he made it his mission to learn the art. After a couple years of training, metal-bending was under his belt. The new skill opened up many doors for Taiki. He finally felt like he could be something other than a pro-bender. His father's job could now be Taiki's hobby, now that he looked into possible engineering and craftsmanship jobs. However, his dreams would come to pass.

After years of being in a sort of grey area professionally, Taiki's father began doing extremely well one particular season. The team finally made it to the finals The championship he so desperately wanted finally seemed within grasps. Unfortunately, some skeletons in his father's closet reared their ugly heads. An old friend that got caught up in the Triad asked Taiki's father and the team to take a dive. Of course, money was used as an incentive to throw the match. Being the strong-willed individual he was, Mr.Matsuo firmly declined and his teammates followed suit. The team went on to win the championship, at the Triad's disapproval. Later that same night, Mr.Matsuo and his teammates were slaughtered in their homes. Taiki woke up to his mother's blood-curdling yells as she found her husband dead in the living room.

Taiki and his mother attempted numerous times to identify and convict the murderers with the police's help, but to no avail. It was almost as if some were paid off to lack in the investigation. In time, a blind eye was eventually turned on the murder of the recent Pro-Bending champs. This infuriated Taiki. The very people meant to protect and help the city failed him. So, much like his father would've, Taiki took matters into his own hands. Repairing scrap parts of Republic City Police uniforms, he put together his own uniform of sorts, and became a vigilante at night while he continued Mr.Matsuo's legacy as a pro-bender. He joined Itsuki Ito's Bau Ling Buzzard Wasps after visiting the Ito's Tea Shop one day. The public came to name Taiki's alter ego "The Camel Spider" after the pesky arachnid of the Earth Kingdom, due to his color choice and bag frequently spotted on his back.

[Elekta Kount]

Name: 明 马 炸, Ming Ma Zha(First name translates to "Horse Bomb")
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Faction: Independent/Howling Sloth Monkeys (Minor Street Gang)
Bending/Martial Art: Non-Bender
Bio:
西边的太阳就要落山了...
Those words were the first things that Ma Zha ever remembered, the singing of a man and women...of whom, he guessed, were his parents.
Ma Zha could only guess, as he never really knew either of them.
Hell, he didn't know if they were still alive or dead, all he knew was that he was left on the door step of a couple; both, of whom, raised him as if he was their own son.
Ma Zha grew up a hick in the country side, you could tell by the way he carries himself, and had a lot of fond memories of roaming said country side with the local children. But, what he remembered more fondly besides were his parents.
See, his adoptive mother and his adoptive father were the town's local tailor, but they had another reputation besides being tailors; they were martial artists, pretty good ones even compared to the earth benders they lived with.
Ma Zha remembered one time a group of bandits tried to extort money and goods from his town, but his adoptive father came to the rescue, beating up all the bandits with one hand behind his back! Man, that was fun to watch.
It was no suprise, then, that growing up, besides tailoring, both of his adoptive parents taught him how to defend himself, they even taught him how to use a more...unconventional weapon, with great skill.
But, things couldn't have lasted like this for ever, for you see, both of Ma Zha's adoptive parents were actually really old, near the end of their life span. Wasn't long before his adoptive father passed away, followed by his adoptive mother...he was in his early teens when they both did pass.
Needless to say, it weighed heavily on the young boy, and, well...he wanted to get out of the small village, and see the world...especially now with nothing really keeping him there.
So, gathering what little he thought he needed, the young boy left town, and traveled down to a nearby rail line...before hitching a ride on a passing cargo train. To where? You ask? Not even Ma Zha knew.
All he knew that he was heading somewhere, somewhere aware from his hometown, though...Ma Zha did train hop a couple of times when he reached a dead end. Heck, he even got caught a couple of times, but the worst his captors did was fling him off the side of the moving train, to which he'd just dust up and wait for the next one.
Soon, Ma Zha found himself traveling to Republic City, a place he'd always heard of, but had never imagined he'd be traveling too.
When Ma Zha arrived in Republic City, it was...different...not even bad, just different.
Everything, the people, the food, the smell in the air, everything was so...different...and big! All the streets and ally ways, Ma Zha could wander the streets endlessly!
In fact, didn't take Ma Zha long to find a new friend group, a bunch of teens(at the time) who formed their own so-called "gang", though they were mostly friends then anything else who got into the occasional trouble or fights with other teens. In fact, Ma Zha was expected into the group because of how well he could fight, and his skill with the rope weapon he always carried around. Though unlike most of he other kids, Ma Zha didn't really have much of a place to stay. Most nights in Republic City, even these days, were spent trying to find a corner to catch a few shut eye, though Ma Zha didn't really mind, if anything he was used to it.
Still, Ma Zha didn't rely on the streets for everything, he'd eventually find a job with a tailor; what his father taught him came in handy in this instance, and Ma Zha would work when he could to earn some money for himself.
Yup, things were alright.
He might have not always had a roof over his head, but at least he had enough to eat most days...and it was fun, for the most part, weather it be hanging out with his little gang of friends, or most days, when he's not working, roaming the up and down the city.
Well, that was until...

Skills:
Martial Artist- Raised learning a form of...martial arts, Ma Zha's fighting style is less aggressive and more based on defensive maneuvering, usually out of the way or directing the enemies blows away from him, before counter-striking, though he's no Chi Blocker. His fighting style is all about momentum and flow, which works well when he's utilizing his rope dart weapon(with great skill one might add). However, most of the time Ma Zha perfers to run then fight, but will hold his ground when push comes to shove.
Parkour- Weather it be from climbing trees, hopping from moving train to moving train, or just climbing the tall buildings of Republic City, Ma Zha has horizontal capabilities.
Agility- Ma Zha's had plenty of experience running away from trouble, and most people would be surprised at how quick he can move, usually in the other direction or out of the way of somthing coming at him.

Lock Picking- Ma Zha's not a thief, buuut...let's just say he knows how to get into places where he shouldn't.
Sneaky and Unremarkable-You'd be surprised how useful this attribute is when your running away from trouble, weather it is hiding inside somthing or within a crowed. After all, you can't hit what's not there.
Music- Music has always been a big part of Ma Zha's life, it was one of his first memories...thus he likes to practice in his spare time. Most of his songs common around the country side, but less so in the city. Ma Zha will also almost never sing for money, music for him is more important then to make a quick buck...
Chemistry- Not much experience, but he knows enough to make firecrackers.
Equipment:
Throwing Dart/Metor Hammer- Ma Zha appears to always have a bundle of rope tide across his chest, many people assume it's for rope, but....weapons are hidden well on each end of the rope. On the one hand, a dart of sorts, capable of stabbing and even hitting, and can act as an grappling hook when needed. On the other end, a solid ball, that is more then capable of breaking various objects, including skulls. The weapons on both ends are made of an unknown material, although it doesn't appear to be suitable to bending in any form. The rope itself is made up of an elastically material commonly found in work ropes, and is actually really long, allowing Ma Zha to control it's reach. The weapon was a gift, from his late guardians.

Crude Firecrackers- Meant as a distraction, or to blind his opponent in the moment.
