Assigned color: Green #4





Name:


Miyuki Bei Ryu


Gender:


Female





Age:


18


Species:


Human





Bender:


Earthbender





Sexuality:


Straight





Appearance:

Dark wavy hair she her parents force her to keep down. Hazel eyes that change colors depending on the time of day. Tan skin. Likes to wear green, golds, and browns, and has a special armband her grandmother gave to her after her first sign as a bender. 5'6. Medium Build. Pretty nice body, and because she works out so much, she isn't lean like most girls her age.





Personality:


She has a very tough exterior, but on the inside she is like a flower-- only willing to bloom to those who nurture and genuinely care for her. She is pretty empathetic and good-natured to others, but her main desire is to be respected for her abilities. She has a pretty good sense of humor, and is pretty loyal and brave when it comes to friends. However, she closes up around people she in unfamiliar with and can be very judgemental at times. She's hard on herself, and also hard on others. She is determined to succeed and become a master at Earthbending. She can also be a little rebellious at times. One of her main traits that usually gets her into trouble is her general curiosity for anything and everything (I mean, anything is more interesting than her life).





Backstory:


She is from an Eastern seaport village where her family has lived for generations. Her desperate desire is move out of the city and find a place where her bending skills are less obscure and more respected (she is the only person besides her grandmother who can bend). Her father and mother were fishers, like many others in the village, but also owned a store which sold not only fish but special spices and concoctions for extra flavor, making their business a little more unique. They all lived in the backroom of their store, where they mostly ate fish, fished for fish, and talked about fish. She began to be bored with her everyday life, and began to think about doing something greater when she got old enough to find her own job. Meanwhile, signs of her bending skills began to show.


After her grandmother died, she became more isolated with her bending skills, having no one she could talk to who was family. She started practicing by herself, doing little things at first using Earthbending, but soon became a natural at wielding any earth-made materials. After a while, she started to rebel a little more, sneaking away to go to the Rowling arena, instead of minding her family's fish shop for example. She became thirsty for adventure which lurked outside the port gates of her small village.





Likes/Dislikes:


L: Tea, little kids (who she likes to teach and show her skills to), Rowling arena (a local sport similar to boxing) which she takes part in


D: the dark, any type of local fish (has gotten way to used to it), idiots


Extras: She has just turned 18, and it thinking about telling her parents about her ambitions that are above keeping their fish business in this small village.

[Lepolarleopard]

[Accepted]


Assigned color: Teal #4


Name: Yula (you•la)


Was named by her human companion, Ulva. The prefix Yu is taken from the words "Yuki" (Which means snow) and/or "Yue" (Which means moon), while the suffix La is taken from La the ocean spirit.


Age: Due to being half-spirit, she lives longer than the average Polar Leopard, and therefore, her exact age can not be calculated, but it is estimated she is a teenager in Polarleopard years, most likely. (Average life-span for Polar Leopards:15-18 years. Yula is 30 in years human years and 13 in spirit years).


Gender: Female


Species: Polarleopard (the only one of her kind. Not to be mistaken for Polar Leopards. The difference being she doesn't have 6 legs and has wings, including being half-spirit and has supernatural powers**)


Bending: Can not bend any elements, but has the power to breath ice in the day and black inflammable smog at night, as well as a powerful sonic roar at any time of day. She can also turn into a shadow, the fuller the moon the more powerful her shadow form becomes, even being able to become a real physical shadow that can attack physical beings. On new moons, she instead gains the power to breath an extremely hot and deadly black and purple fire called “shadow fire”. This fire is difficult to bend and spreads very quickly if set aflame. Other weapons include her claws, fangs, wing claws, and her feather blades (which are sharp, metallic like feathers hidden in her wings which can fly out at a target like throwing stars if aimed properly). Her wings can also act as shields to defend against attacks.


Sexuality: Asexual (Mainly because she has no reproductive organs)





Appearance:

Basically, and you can also squint in on my profile pic, that has her undergoing her transformation into her night form, which is pure black and instead of ice blue eyes they are blazing yellow.


Being a hybrid, she is made of what appears to be a combination of a Snow leopard, Polar bear, Siberian lynx, Snowy owl, and perhaps even a saber-tooth tiger.


Her main pelt color changes with the seasons: Spring/Fall- light grey. Summer- Darkish grey (above). Winter- Pure white.


She will be half her size in this version, since she is young, so about the size of Naga the Polar bear dog (An average sized human would come up to the top of her muzzle).


Her claws, fangs, wing claws, and the rest of her skeleton are made of a clear and sharp material that can cut through just about anything. They are a very faint hint of light blue when exposed to the air (the claws and fangs).


She has snowy owllike wings, which the middle spots end on, that stretch out at a maximum of ten feet.


Her head is adorned with moon patterns that branch off into two groups that move up until they reach her forehead; from the crescents, to the halfs, to the waning and waxing, to the full/new in the middle of her head (which has a snowflake inside with four claw like patterns coming out from it, making it look like a paw with claws.). She has tiny black stars circling the paw on her head and three each under each eye, along with black curly patterns.


Personality: Even though she is an animal, she is very smart and understands the struggles and conquests of her human companions. Since she is younger in this version, she is more knowledgeable than wise, and very curious. She is still learning more about herself, being the only one of her kind and all, so even she doesn't know what she can can do to her full extent. She does not gain the trust of humans easily, and is more likely seen around animals and/or spirits. Despite that, she is very loyal to her human companion Ulva, and she is the only one who can communicate with her via telekinesis, which grows stronger as their bond grows stronger. She will also use her strength and speed to help in anything that requires her. She thinks about the needs of others before herself, despite her cat heritage, and will not tolerate harm to befall those she trusts. However, unless she has been acquainted with them for a decent amount of time, her number on concern is making sure Ulva is safe above all else. If commanded to, she will tolerate being around enemies, but will still be very very wary and hostile towards them. Despite being a teen, she tries to act mature, and is usually shown with a grumpy cat like face, but more neutral, as if she is just trying to tolerate the world.


Backstory: **Unknown to Yula, (or anyone really), her parents are actually spirits. Her mother was a spirit who crossed over to the other side, just like the two yin and yang spirits, gaining a normal polar leopard physical form. She had the power over ice and healing. Her father was a four-legged winged spirit of the night, who had the power of shadows, allowing him to cross between the two worlds without the need of the portals. Yula's mother gave birth to her in the South Pole, but died a few months later after giving birth, her body no longer strong enough to maintain herself in the physical world. When her mother died, Yula was left to fend for herself, just learning enough skills to barely survive. She wasn't around long enough to know what her mother was or even her name, and all memory ceased to exist after a long time to herself. As she grew bigger, Yula realized that she was different than the other Polar Leopards. Being an orphan, she tried to fit in, but none of the other Polar Leopards wanted to take her in, and so was forced to learn how to survive by watching the other six-legged Polar Leopards from a distance. She discovered she had powers and worked on controlling them, by it was difficult. Unknown to her, she had gained powers from both of her parents: The power of ice and healing from her mother, and the power of shadows and shadow smog from her father. These powers were limited to the time of day, in which they were used. Yula discovered that she was able to use ice during the day, but not at night, and visa versa with her shadow powers. She also gained other powers due to being half physical and half spirit that were not affected by the time of day, such as the sonic roar, the feather blades, and telekinesis. She grew up distant from the others and one day decided to break away and travel.


One night, she found a lost water bender named Ulva, deep in the snow and alone, slowly freezing to death. She was the size of a regular polar bear at the time (Length: 6.5 ft, Hight: 4.4 ft). This person emitted a strong, spiritual aurora towards Yula, causing her to stop in her tracks. Acting on instinct, Yula forgot about everything she had learned about humans and carefully dragged the freezing human to her den, warming her up with her body heat and fur until daybreak. When the human finally woke up hours later, she panicked and tried to get away, but when she realized that the creature had saved her life, she tried to reach out to her. At first, Yula was hesitant, but after a bit of calm talking and an offer of food, she accepted the peace offering. After a long time of gaining the other’s trust, they are now are an inseparable pair. She is still working on controlling and figuring out her powers. She will follow Ulva without question through think and thin, and is always supportive of good intentions.


Likes: Her human companion Ulva, Ulva’s allies, being respected as an equal member of the group, hunting her favorite prey (especially fish and tiger seals), learning new things, training herself or other people, grooming, filing her claws, swimming, flying, the cold, ice, snow, water, anything to do with the South Pole, quiet nights, nature, spirits, keeping others warm, when people try to listen to her or make an effort to understand her.


Dislikes: Fire (despite the fact that she can breath it), heat, lightning, loud noises, being too warm, wearing a saddle and carrying many people (but will tolerate it), flying for too long, unfriendly spirits or animals, people that want to harm her companion or her allies, pollution, disrespect of nature, her fur being pulled, slimy, scaly, or spicy prey/food, being called a "pet", other animals being called "pet", the word "pet", the term "pet", anything to do (noun wise) with "pet", when people underestimate her, being treated as a dumb, unthinking animal.





Extra:

• She is smart enough to figure out a way to communicate her thoughts without the use of telekinesis: drawing on the ground with her claws.
  
• Has incredible sense of sight, hearing, scent, and taste, and can even sense trouble through the air at time if she focuses.
  
• Can sense a person's spiritual energy if close enough, and uses that to determine wither a person is trustworthy or not (This process is similar to how the dragons judged Aang and Zuko, but less dramatic). A person's spiritual energy is usually determined by the person's attitude, their history, and their outlook on life and their surroundings, which include people, animals, nature, and spirits.
  
• Her day and night transformations happen as soon as the sun rises or sets in/out of view.
  
• Has flexible wings that can slice in front of her like a pair of scissors, using her wing claws.
  
• Can use her wings to beat the air and make mini whirlwinds
  
• Has the ability to elongate her top two canines to look like a saber-tooth's.
  
• Can not retract her front claws all the way, just as she can not completely hide her top canines under her lip.
  
• Has a special tongue that can be used to speed up flesh wound recovery.
  
• Is not a picky eater, will eat up to many different hybrid foods containing fish, seals, dear, goats, squirrels, mice, rats, other small mammals, and small birds, and if need be, larger mammals. She will refuse to eat anything with scales however, unless on the verge of starvation.
  
• When threatened, her fur will spike up, making it 20% sharper than normal fur, especially near the tail.
  
• She can stand up and attack like a bear can, but can only walk for a couple paces before needing to drop down again.
  
• Has two layers of claws in her front paws. The first being normal looking cat claws, used for hooking and piercing. The second layer resembling more of a bear's claws, being longer and more straight, used for slicing at opponents like daggers.
  
• The spot under her wings is a pressure point, hitting that will weaken her and will cut off her ability to fly for at least an hour.
  
• Despite being very fast in running, swimming, and flying, she is a sprinter, and can tire easily if pushed too hard.
  
• She is always stronger in the cold or in water. If she has been flying for a long time, swimming in the ocean will cool her down and help regain her endurance.
  
• When undergoing her night transformation, her claws, fangs, and wing claws will also turn into a see-through black.
  
• The moons on her face will glow a yellow-goldish color, depending on the type of the moon currently in the sky, which will determine the strength of her shadow form.
  
• Strengths include being able to be a shadow (crescent moon), Controlling the size of her shadow (Half moon), Being able to leap across certain distances as a shadow, Ex. being a shadow on a tree to suddenly appearing on a wall across from the tree without moving onto the ground connecting the two objects (Wanning or waxing), and becoming a full, physical shadow that can not be touched except for the exposed skeleton (claws, fangs, and wing claws) which she can then use to attack her enemies in an almost unstoppable force (full moon, only lasts for one night).
  
• The same goes for the shadow fire (New moon, only lasts for one night).
  
• Scientifically, the reason why Yula's fur and powers change is because of the contact of sunlight on her fur. Her natural fur, is in fact, black, but because of the sun coming in constant contact with her, it looks grey with spots instead (or white, depending on the season). Even so, when she is not in contact with the sun and it is still day, she will still bare her day colors.
  
• Her fur, like the smog she admits, is inflammable. Yet she still fears fire and will stay away from it if possible.
  
• Her biggest fear is lightning, as she had to endure lots of storms when she was surviving alone, and because it is too fast for her to dodge or deflect.
  
• When trying to communicate to Ulva, the thought waves are seen as <> and are very hard to catch, so she must listen hard to understand what Yula is trying to make out. This telekinesis speak can go both ways if needed to over a very long distance. However, it does drain energy.
  
• Because of this, prefers to stay quiet, wanting people to figure out what she is trying to portray or do by simply being observant. She will only speak telekineticly when absolutely necessary.
  
• Has helped Ulva out of many situations, including supplying her with ice to bend.
  
• Will die if she is not able to be near the water and can not endure hot environments well, as she can become over heated fairly easily.
  
• She also must take breaks from traveling to sleep.
  
• Has a very complicated and secret anatomy: Her bones are made of clear, ice like material at is almost considered indestructible, which are also hollow. Unfortunately, they are also very sharp, so in order to overcome slicing through her own skin when she moves, she has natural, silver dragon like armor on top of her first layer of skin. This "dragon scale armor" is also very difficult to to break, let alone dent. However, this makes her very vulnerable to electric type attacks. On top of the armor, there is a secondary layer of "fake skin", which hides the scaly armor and grows the fur. There are nerves still spreed around the fake skin, but all pain that would be dealt to her is reduced, since it is not her real skin being damaged.

Assigned Color: Black


Name:


Yagari Saito


Gender:


Male


Age:


21-22 (estimated)


Species:


Human; Earth Kingdom


Bender:


Earth


Sexuality: Heteromantic Assexual (though he prefers to be alone)


Appearance:

Mousy brown hair with dark hazel eyes. Tanned skin. Wears clothes that covers most of his body. Day clothes are Earth Kingdom colors while his night garb is suited to blend into the night. On his body, he has several scars but they're given by his clothes. He has a scar over his nose from one mission. Tall and slightly muscular build. Regarding his height, he's about a few inches taller than Shio.


As for clothes, it depends what time of day it is. His night garb is more suited for blending into the night. His day clothes are lighter. Usually, he keeps most of his face covered except for the areas around his eyes. He does this to protect his identity as well as making it harder for people to identify him.


The picture above shows him in the clothes he wears when he blends into the crowd.


Personality:


Yagari is a silent assassin who holds no allegiance to any country or anyone, but his employer. Serious about his business, he performs his job according to his contract and expects pay according to it as well. Although he’s quite serious, he doesn’t mind jokes and can even joke around as well; though, some of his jokes aren’t for the faint of heart. Calm and collected, even when assassinating people. He’s also quite snarky and sarcastic towards others. He treats everyone the same despite if they’re lower or higher than him, unless he thinks otherwise. Not the best around others as he is quite blunt and not afraid to say what he thinks about them. However, he’s loyal to those who are close to him as well as kinder towards them. Though, the chances of him becoming close to another is very slim as he prefers to be alone. Yagari is a rather resentful and bitter person, holding grudges against others. While he may "forgive" someone, he won't forget it. When it comes to pirates, he ventures to being a sadist. He enjoys causing any pirate pain as it was pirates who ruined his life.


Backstory:


He can’t recall his father but he does have a faint memory of his mother abandoning him when he was a small child. Throughout most of his childhood, he was raised in an orphanage in a village located near the ocean. Although the village was a fairly safe one, they were sometimes hit by pirates. Which sadly happened one day which they looted the whole place. Along with taking the orphans captive and sold them as slaves. He was sold to a wealthy household where he worked mostly as an indoor slave. Despite being lucky to be an indoor slave, he faced harsh conditions. Often, he would be best or starved for arriving late or not performing his job correctly. He hated it so much. The slaves fought amongst each other to which the master ignored.


Some years later, he joined a small group of slaves who banded together for an escape attempt. Most of the group managed to succeed without much trouble. Yagari, on the other hand, was spotted by some of the guards. Running for his life, he was cornered by one of them in one of the small houses. Without thinking, he used one of the rakes there to defend himself. But he accidentally harmed the guard. Panicking, he ran, knocking down one of the lit candles. As he was running, he could hear shouts about the house being on fire.


Several days later, he managed to get to a nearby large town where he was weak and starving. Luckily, he was taken in by a friendly man who suggested he could become his apprentice. Some months later, he was content with his job and glad he was freed. His kind teacher, began to act weird towards him. One night, he came across his teacher murdering someone. To his shock, his teacher used his job to lure people and kill them. He was now forced to help with these crimes and punished if he hesitated. At first, he would apologize to the victim before ending their life. After a while, he became used to it and no longer sensitive to the bloody job. Despite this, he was sick of being used by his teacher and had enough. One day, he planned to stand up for himself. His teacher was not pleased and a fight between the two broke out. Unintentionally, he killed his teacher before fleeing for his life once more.


Living on the streets, he was forced to learn how to fend for himself. With time and practice, he began good with lock picking and thieving. As he grew older, he decided to become a mercenary which offered better pay. Some time later, he ventured into the assassin business.


Likes/Dislikes:


Likes- Night time, Being paid, Solitude, Coin tricks (Quite good at), Cooking, Being prepared for any job


Dislikes- Children (They annoy him), Not being paid, Noisy areas, Contract being broken, Hot weather (makes him tired), Being manipulated by anyone, Being used, Slavery, Annoying people, Most fish


Extras:


. While he serves as an assassin, he’s also: a mercenary, thief, spy, scout.


. He is absolutely terrible with alcohol as it gives him a headache and stays away it.


. Sometimes, he talks about finding someone.


. For his missions, he prefers to solo but he'll cooperate with others if it's a group mission.


. He mostly uses his earth bending to track down his targets and uses his knives to dispatch of them. But he'll earth bend if he needs to.


. He has sharp eye sight, hearing, and to a degree touch.


. While he is an assassin, he doesn't kill anyone who he wasn't paid to kill such as civilians. Unless he sees a risk in not, then he will.

Name: Shio Azale


Gender: Male


Age: Nineteen


Species: Human


Bender: Fire


Sexuality: Pansexual





Appearance:

Shio is about 5'11, and weighs a thin 140 pounds. He has pale skin and a mole on the bottom of his lip. He has light brown eyes and narrow eyebrows. His face is mostly expressionless, except when he is upset.





Personality:


Shio is rude and is not afraid to speak his mind to others. He has close to no real friends. He manipulates the few friends he has and is generally disliked by everyone who has encountered him. The only phrases that ever escape his lips are insults. The only type of person he tends to favor is those whom he acknowledges as reliable, someone he can trust. As soon as they have expended their use to him, however he goes back to acting his usual, bitter self. He has a longing for a true companion, though his limited social skills prevent it.





Backstory:


He was born within a relatively privileged family in the borders of the fire nation. His family rarely gave him any real attention, the only thing they had to give was money. He sought attention in other places by vandalizing and stealing from others. At most he had gotten a brief scolding whilst his parents paid off the victim for their troubles. But at least he had gotten them to acknowledge his existence. His father was a fan of hunting, particularly with a bow. Shio sought instruction from numerous teachers, in an attempt to bond with his dad, to no real avail. He had still gained a love for the sport and continued on doing it.


He was given a Shirshu for a pet, a gift from his father after he began showing an interest in hunting. The creature was famous for being able to detect prey across the map. It was a valuable prize for any well-known hunter.


He made his first few social interactions because of it and he had adored it. His companions didn't really think much of him. Apart from his proficiency with a bow there was nothing too exciting about him. He acquired a bit of personality at this point, and not the good kind. The best way to get someone’s attention is to spout something nasty about them. He got a few bruises like this, but he was still contempt with it because he was actually getting noticed by his parents. He was let off easy, his father paid his fines for any of the crimes that he may have committed, and that was that.


He never let his friend catch on, he told him some flimsy story about how he grew up on an orphanage, and then on the street. Of course, they also had criminal backgrounds, from petty thievery, to murder. The leader of his little party was older than all of his friends by a few years. They sort of looked up to him, he was big and tough, and did not answer to anyone. Eventually, their gang leader had his eyes set on a heavily guarded treasure. It was meant to be a simple mission, get in and get out. Unfortunately, it all went wrong when that same leader ended up killing a guard in cold blood. Shio was only sixteen and he had blood on his hands, with his face fresh in the living guards minds, he was forced to flee the nation.


And now, he is a simple bounty hunter that travels the globe, looking for work. He typically keeps his face covered with a mask when entering the fire nation, as he fears that he would be recognized as one of the thieves even after all these years.





Likes/Dislikes:


Likes: Gold, Daggers, Artifacts


Dislikes: The meek, the homeless, and the cold.

Name: Kurai


Gender: Male


Age: 19


Species: Human


Bender: Fire


Sexuality: Heterosexual


Appearance:

Kurai is exotic, in every definition of the word. His skin is that of the common color found in the Water Tribes, a mocha/olive tone. But his face bears the sharp features found among those of Fire Nation origin. Including the golden irises. His musculature is defined, but deceptively flexible as well. But his most stunning feature is easily is hair. A pure, snow white coloring while the locks fall down in a spiky mop around his hairline. Needless to say, he can stand out in a crowd. Kurai stands at six foot two, and weighs two-hundred pounds.


Personality:Kurai overall, is extremely determined. If he really, really wants to do something. There will be nothing in his mind that can or will stop him from achieving that goal. He will move the immovable object or die trying. And the latter is simply not happening in his mind. This being said, he is not stubborn. He will listen to reason and then decide if he should allow the advice to affect his following actions. Kurai is also very straight forward, actually being quite intelligent, he does not manipulate others nor does he allow himself to be manipulated. More often than not he will speak his mind regardless of who he is speaking to.


Kurai if anything also has a thirst for knowledge that is simply nigh unquenchable. He truly tries to learn a variety of new things every day if he can, even so he doesn't let his desire for knowledge consume him to the point where he is willing to abandon his own morals, which are few to begin with. He actually likes to relax most of the time, often coming off as even lazy, due to his non-nonchalant way of speaking. But if his motor gets going, he simply is not stopping. This goes from debating, to training, to physical activity to especially combat.


He treats everyone with a base amount of respect, which goes down or up over the course of interacting with them. He's not biased and tries his hardest not to let his personal opinion affect his judgment of others. Kurai has a very, very healthy appreciation however for nature and spirits. He has a great dislike for industrialized areas, stating that they make him feel nauseous at times.


Backstory:Kurai was born on a solar eclipse to Kyofu,a nomadic Priest who gave up his lifestyle of service to spirits for the woman he loved, Shizuka,a high level firebender who was hotheaded and known as a feared bounty hunter. When he was young and newly born,his Father held him to the darkened sky and asked the spirits for his blessing that he would be safe. Due to his father giving up his lifestyle however,none of the Spirits gave Kurai their blessing. Except for one.This Spirit, along with his Twin spirit were spirits that though powerful, we're often ignored in prayers and blessings.These spirits were the spirits of the eclipses. The Solar Eclipse Ri Shi and the Lunar Eclipse Yue Shi. Ri Shi asked, that in return for granting Kurai his blessing, that He spread the word of both he and his Sister. And the Father agreed albeit Hesitantly. However, this small ray of light was not to last for long as nearly a month later his mother came home gravely injured from a battle. She would not make it through the night as she died, Shizuka Prayed to Ri Shi that her Son would not suffer from the same fate as her due to lack of strength, she even offered up her soul. Ri Shi agreed. And as she died, Kurai was granted the ability to use Black flames.


After that, Kurai grew up traveling with his father, going a great many places, and learning as he did so for to him,Knowledge was power.He was asked by his father to never Firebend in public,for fear of attention being drawn to them and attracting unsavory people. And thus he practiced in secret, learning from left over scrolls his mother had written and from other scrolls his father had given to him. While he was doing this however,he was also fulfilling his duties to the Eclipse Spirits,building shrines for them and telling people about them as he traversed the land. Even if due to some technological advancements this was made much more difficult. For 11 years of his life,this was all he did.


In his twelfth year,his father apprenticed him to a swordsman.For four years, Kurai practiced his craft and learned even more. It grew refined under the tutelage of his instructor. The news was then recieved that his Father had perish. It was by a chance arrow that struck his head, killing him instantly. Almost immediately after that event Kurai left. He traveled around, doing menial jobs and helping out wherever he could before he decided that he would take up his mother's occupation.


Conflict was very profitable after all.
