~Welcome!

Welcome, and thank you for choosing Rekindled Flame for your Avatar: The Last Airbender roleplaying needs. ^^

~What is a Roleplay?

A roleplay is like a story told in parts, where each character in the story is owned by someone else. You post a short paragraph of your character's actions and dialouge, and to interact with another character you simply direct your character in their direction. For example:
GaiaUser1: Bob was walking down the street when he saw Katy riding past on her bike. As she passed, he shouted, "Hi, Katy!"
GaiaUser2: Katy continued pedaling, throwing a response back over her shoulder. "Hi, Bob!"
Got it? Good.

~Story

In the years before Sozin's birth, it had been thought that the four nations - Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, were at peace. This is a common misconception. In actuality, there was an underground horde of rouge fighters, people of all nations, conspiring to take over the earth. The Dark Nation, they call themselves. They're around every corner, waiting to attack your troops, or decimate your ships. They will kill the innocent, burn your village to the ground, proving to the world that no one can hide from them. And they have grown out of control. A agent of darkness could be your neighbor, your best friend. The world needs the avatar, but how can she help them if she doesn't know who she is?

~Water Nation

Quote:

Name: Sying
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Rank: Avatar
Element: Water, Fire, Earth, Air
Bio: Sying is on the run, with nowhere to go. Her quiet village was burned to ashes by agents of Darkness, and as far as she knows, she is the only survivor. Sying is the avatar, but she doesn't know this. No one ever told her, if they even knew. She had grown up not knowing her parents, raised by her aunt and uncle.
Personality: Sying is a rather troubled girl, and seems to feel the need to place everyone's problems on her own shoulders. She tries to take everything in stride, but can't help feeling discouraged every now and then. Sying is wildly emotional, letting simple things anger her or make her smile. Can be very mothering, but will hold a long grudge if you make her mad. She cares very deeply for her friends and family, and always takes it upon herself to get things done.
Gender: Girl
Age: 16
Appearance: Slender with long, dark, violet hair and large, expressive blue eyes. She has long legs and a shaded skin tone, well-rounded as a whole.

Quote:

Name: Zhu
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Water
Rank: Cheif's son
Bio: Zhu lived in the same village as Sying, and was her best friend. He was the Tribe Cheif's son, and brother to Mao (10 years old) and Kaiwri, (6 years old at death, would be 14 now). His mother died of sickness a few years ago, on Zhu's thirteenth birthday.
When his village was attacked by agents of Darkness, he fought back with all his strength. But Zhu's battle was ended when an earthbender threw a boulder at his head, knocking him out and sending him rolling down a snowdrift outside the village. Believing him to be dead, the soldiers moved on. Of course, he was alive, but barely. His distance from the burning tribe saved him from the fire that would've definitely destroyed him, and the cool snow kept him from bleeding to death. Perhaps the spirits were looking out for him that day, or maybe it was just luck, but Zhu managed to survive. Now, he's out searching for the family he has lost.
Where did Zhu get his scar....?
Personality: Serious-minded and a bit moody, Zhu doesn't smile very often, and has a short temper. He is stubborn, broody, unsociable, and is, strangely, the protective type. He couldn't stand the thought of his sister Mao or best friend Sying getting hurt, and would die to save them. He can be kind at times, and definitely has a good heart, but is very reluctant to show it, and can be quite bashful. Very slow when it comes to love, and socially stupid.
Gender: Boy
Age: 15
Appearance: A tall, tan boy, fantastically strong and lean from his many hardships, is often confused for someone older. He has many scars, but the most prominent is a long scar running from his left eye to under his heart. He has long, shaggy light brown hair and pale blue eyes.

dawnwolfee

Name: Emiko
Played by: dawnwolfee
Nation: Water Nation
Element: Water
Bio: Emiko grew up in the South Pole. Her mother died while giving birth to her so her only real family was her brother and father. They wanted her to be able to take care of herself so she was taught different martial arts and fighting styles from a young age. When she was twelve years old, she found out she could water bend. She has been traveling ever since, always trying to control her water bending. When she gets mad she will often lose control of the water she has with her. Emiko has been seeking help with her water bending for a long time. She usually carries a bow and quiver, a dagger, and a bottle to keep water in. Strangely, wild animals always seem attracted to her.
Personality: Emiko can be a serious person but is usually cheerful when you meet her. She is kind, caring, and friendly but can beat a person up if they get on her bad side. She is also assertive and doesn't like being forgotten.
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Appearance: Sandy blonde hair and blue-eyed. She is slender but is also very strong even though she doesn't look like it. She is also considered pretty and cute.

"Ashefire_the_wild"

Name: Tsu-Mi
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Water
Element: Water
Rank: Princess of the Southern Water Tribe
Bio: Tsu-Mi was born the eldest of four sisters and seven brothers, all vastly different in looks and in personality. Obviously, she was the heir to her father's throne as chief, though the Water Tribe decided things diplomatically. She was the only choice her people ever considered. Tsu-Mi may have missed out on a real childhood because of all her siblings she needed to take care of, but it prepped her for the empire she would one day rule over.
Personality: Tsu-Mi is very calm and mature, with a kind demeanor that makes her seem trustworthy and non-judgmental. Which in fact, she is. She is very diplomatic and never takes sides based on personal opinion. She is barely ever without a small, kind smile, but you can tell when she is angry at you; her face won't change at all, but you can literally feel the chill.
Gender: Girl
Age: 28
Appearance: Tall, dark, and lovely. Very long, feathered black hair and warm amber eyes.

dawnwolfee

Name: Kuruk
Played by: dawnwolfee
Nation: Water
Rank: Chief
Bio: He is the brother of Emiko. When he was eight, he lost his mother but gained his sister. He tried his hardest as they grew up to teach Emiko about defending herself and learning how to survive. He had a very good relationship with their now deceased father (killed by a Dark Nation raid after Emiko left and the chief before Kuruk). When Emiko learned she could waterbend and decided to leave, he was devastated. After she left, there was a Dark Nation raid on their village and their father was killed while fighting. Kuruk managed to survive the fighting and gave a water tribe funeral to his father with the remaining warriors, women, and children. Those that had survived elected him to be chief because of his good decisions and what he did to rebuild the village.
Personality: Kuruk is very easygoing and carefree although there are times when he gets very sad over the loss of his parents and the absence of his sister. Although he is very cheerful at heart, he knows when to be serious and will do anything to protect his family, of which the inhabitants of his village are included. He doesn't like many strangers and is usually seen to be very cold and serious around anybody he first meets.
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance: Kuruk looks much older than he actually is. He has blue eyes and brown hair, and is very well-muscled and strong.

He is very arrogant and calm in battle and he is very quick and agile and acrobatic and thats what makes him dangerous. He knows alot of martial arts moves and learned from alot of his superiors on weapon training, chi blocking through pressure points, as well as advanced firebending techniques. While he has good intentions he often strives to be the best and often doesn't hold back when someone opposes him.

emofaery92

Name: Ayuma
Played By: emofaery92 Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Fire
Rank: Prophetess
Bio: Ayuma has had a hard life. Throughout her childhood she has had visions about the future for individuals and the whole world alike. Her parents brought her to the Fire Lord when she was nine. He saw great things for Ayuma and asked her parents if she could stay at the palace. The Fire Lord didn't want anyone to know about the visions that Ayuma had, and he kept a council and guards with her at all times. Over the next three years Ayuma was pampered as if she were royalty. She spent some time with Kyosuke, but since he was an infant, she tried to stay clear of him. Ayuma spent most of her time with Princess Masuyo where she learned the way of the upper class people. When Ayuma was twelve, she managed to slip away from her guards, and she ran away from civilization. Ayuma wandered the world, conning ship captain's to take her to other lands. About three months into her travels, she stumbled across the Great Lord Kaishu. Seeing him triggered one of her vision-trances. After telling him the prophecy, she ran from him. Ayuma was found a day later by the search party and was taken back to the Fire Nation palace. The Fire Lord kept her in her quarters under lock and key. Now, with her visions leaving her drained and scared, Ayuma wishes to leave the royal palace to warn the people that her visions are about.
Personality: Ayuma is very strong-willed and likes adventure. She is usually physically drained from the ever increasing amount of visions.
Gender: Girl
Age: 28
Appearance: Ayuma is quite tall for a woman. She has long snow white hair and gray eyes. Her parents think that she is this way because of her soul being very, very old. Tattoos cover parts of her arms, legs, torso, back, and her forehead. These tattoos are blue and she has had them since birth. They symbolize her as harboring the soul of the Prophetess.

Grigori Federov

Name:Saiben Hythen
Played by:Grigori Federov
Nation:Fire Nation
Element:Fire
Rank:Enlisted Agent
Bio:Originally a scholar, he gained a reputation after he participated directly in his experiments with lightning. His reputation, along with his adeptness at bending caught the eye of the Fire Lord who sent him, along with others of talent, to see what could be done about the Dark Nation. This dragged him away from his studies, so he resents the order, and often sticks to solving the problem at the surface, even though he knows it won't really change anything.
Personality:Inquisitive and observant, he tends to hold everyone else to his own standards, making him seem cold even if he doesn't mean it, which isn't very often anways. He will never pass up the chance to learn something new, or test out a theory he thinks up on the fly
Gender:Boy
Age:20
Appearance: Often seen squinting, as if trying to see some minute detail in someone's actions. Always tries to shake the hand of someone he meets unless he has some unpleasant business with them.

Grigori Federov

Name: Chang Koshi
Played by: Grigori Federov
Nation: Fire Nation
Element: Fire
Rank: Captain
Bio: He joined the Fire Nation army at the age of twenty, rising to the rank of Captain not through skill or intelligence, but on the backs of fallen officers that were killed in Dark Nation raids. This doesn't sit easy with him. He somehow managed to survive the massacre at the Fire Nation capitol, even managing to save a few of his comrades in the process. Since then he has searched for more survivors in hopes of mounting a resistance movement that will eventually retake their country.
Personality: His national pride knows almost no bounds, it being his reason for joining the army in the first place. He is not extremely intelligent, or strong, but he can be charismatic when it counts and has decent skill in combining his bending with his sword play.
Gender: Boy
Age: 23
Appearance: He has a bad habit of using his sword for theatrics.

"Ashefire_the_wild"

Name: Xioh
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Fire
Element: Fire
Rank: Corporal
Bio: Xioh was born and raised in the Fire Nation capital, but in a poor family. He is the youngest of three sons, all drafted into the Fire Nation army as soon as they were of age. Xioh was no exception, and entered when he was sixteen. Battle strategy was never his strong point, but he proved well in grouped combat, and is a master communicator, however unorthodox. Xioh was one of the few soldiers who survived the Dark Nation's final attack, and continues to serve under his Captain, Chang Koshi.
Personality: Xioh is a weird one, so unlike his element that his parents couldn't believe he was actually a bender. Very impassionate and passive, preferring to let people do their own thing and go with the flow himself than get involved in things he didn't care about. That being said, he is also weird in just simply that he is weird; randomly reciting a funny poem with a straight face or showing up with his shirt on backwards. Loves to sleep and has a bottomless stomach.
Gender: Boy
Age: 19
Appearance: Lanky and constantly poker-faced, with blonde hair that sticks up miraculously in places and bored, very dark green eyes.

knux5

Name: Kizan Hyzate
Played by: Knux5
Nation: Fire
Element: Fire
Rank: Lieutenant
Bio: How do you explain someone like Kizan to another? Born to a wealthy family, he had most of the comforts that even the Prince enjoyed. Unfortunately, they were never for him. He preferred a military life, on the front, defending his country from all threats...the Dark Nation, naturally, fit the bill. At 23, he joined the military, and quickly rose through the ranks thanks to his tactical brilliance. What no one, save for the troops under his command, knew however was that he often made plans on the spot, changing them to fit the situation. While this managed to aid in his weeding out and defeats of some Dark Nation cells, he couldn't save the capitol. As an added insult to injury, most of the men under his command would perish in the defense of the capitol.

Strangely, before the Dark Nation even reached the shores, Kizan was contacted by a society of assassins...he refused their offer to join their ranks, and now regrets it. What's left of the men who serve under him still follow him, even though their nation is lost. With his ragtag group, he plans to gather up fighters from all nations to aid in the taking back of the Fire Nation...it is his belief that they share a common enemy, after all.
Personality: Despite being in command of more then twenty soldiers, Kizan cares for every one of them. His command is not tight, but niether is it too loose. He lets his soldiers take breaks, take days off when they absolutely need, and even causually chats with them. Outside of combat, he is calm, usually relaxed, and even cracks a joke every now and then. None of his men have the heart to tell him that his jokes are bad.

When inside combat, he becomes possessed by an intense desire to keep his men alive while completing the given objective. He believes in not giving his troops an order that he himself would not follow.
Gender: Boy
Age: 26
Appearance: Black haired, and ivory eyed, Kizan always seems to have a serene expression on his face. His eyes seem to radiate warmth, when relaxing with his men or by himself. When in combat, they are daggers being thrown towards the enemy. He fancies himself lean, but doesn't concern himself with a 'formal commander's appearance'.

Name: Seizu
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Earth Nation, captured by Dark
Rank: Slave
Element: Earth
Bio: Seizu, like many other refugees, was one of those who managed to escape a Dark Nation attack on their village. He ran to Jing-she, abandoned for so many years, and stumbled upon a group of rouges, who took him in and gave him a home. For a long time he was happy. He practiced his bending, he played as he pleased, he fell in love. But when the agents of Darkness raided his home for the second time, he couldn't escape. It was all he could do to make sure Mei Shu was safe. Now Seizu is a slave to the Dark Nation, assisting Keeoni with the earthbending classes.
Personality: Seizu is optimistic, and formal when addressing others due to his lifetime of being looked down upon. He is very mature, and doesn't often let his emotions fly off the handle, accepting the inevitable with a calm demeanor. He has a soothing affect on people, and can often heal emotional wounds without meaning to. All in all, a very pure spirit.

Quote:

Name: Rin Yamatoo
Played by: Rieyeciu
Nation: Earth
Element: Earth Bender
Rank: Earth Kingdom Princess
Bio: Rin was born in Ba Sing Se as a princess of the earth kingdom. Her father was the king as her mother was a lovely queen. Rin was born in the city where almost no news of the Dark Nation news has reach in the stone walls. Ba Sing Se was still a very much peaceful and safe place to people to leave and get away from the troubles that are happening outside the stone walls. The king knew of the dangers outside the walls as he went out there to help in the battle trying to protect cities so they won’t fall. Rin lost her father at the young age of 5 during a rage at Omashu. Though this was a lost to Rin and her mother took the throne as Queen of the Earth Kingdom. Rin had lost more than her father that day as her mother now had no time to spend with her.
Rin did have some earth kingdom friends however not many. Most of her time was spent on earth bending skills for fun which got her in trouble more than half the time. Rin was never let out of Ba Sing Se city due to the events going on outside the walls. Though she dream of running away, sneaking out, or begging her mother to let her explore the world the answer seem to be no. in the last couple of months of people talking about the Dark Nation got to Rin’s ears. She did not know who they was but she wanted to know what really going on and she wanted to get out of Ba Sing Se to have some real fun.
Personality: Rin is generally a sweet, fun-loving girl, but she has a less admirable side as well. Her unpredictable temper often gets her in trouble, as well as her mouth, as she rarely holds back her opinion. Rin likes to be certain and confident in what she believes in. Blunt to a fault, she often overlooks the fact that she might be hurting someone's feelings when she speaks. She has a difficult time openly expressing her more gentle and private side and becomes uncomfortable when other people discuss their feelings and emotions or any other sentimental topic with her. Obviously, she doesn't make friends easily, but then again, who needs friends when you're a princess?
Ignorant of many ways of the world because she has led a sheltered life, Rin remains open minded when it comes to people, convinced that there is good in everyone. This causes her to appear innocent and vulnerable. Also, as a result of this blind optimism, Rin can be quite gullible, trusting even the most suspicious looking stranger. However, if someone betrays her trust, it will take a long time for them to regain it. While her ties to her family are strong, Rin hardly has any friends, yet she likes it that way. She enjoys freedom in all aspects of the word; she likes to be free of ties as well as restrictions.
Like many earthbenders, Rin is bold and always up for a challenge. She doesn't take anything lying down. Once she sets her mind to something, her obstinate nature doesn't allow her to back down. Possessing strength and a tenacious spirit, she isn't easily put out, and when someone tells her she can't do something, it makes her want to do it even more. Rin acquires an "I'll show you" attitude when challenged. She can be very competitive and works hard to exceed her own personal expectations. Therefore, her earthbending skills are moderately well developed for someone her age, especially since she's had the aid of skilled professionals for most of her life.
Gender: Girl
Age: 14
Appearance: Short, slender, and frail looking, Rin doesn't have what one would call an earthbender's body at all. But looks can be very deceiving. She may be small, but she is strong. Her height is not a problem; she's close to the ground a.k.a. her element. Although it is improper for a princess, Rin prefers to wander around barefoot, so she can feel the earth between her toes. Her usual attire consists of light dresses with contrasting dark accessories. She likes the freedom that traditional garb does not allow her to have. Actually, if Rin could, she probably wouldn't wear anything. She hates clothes, they're restrictive and itchy, a constant annoyance, and just get in the way.
Rin keeps her long brown hair up in loose pigtail buns, tucking the stray strands behind her ears. Bangs fall haphazardly over her forehead and reach her eyes. Rin's large green eyes are expressive and alert, displaying her deepest emotions and the most subtle changes in her mood. Her dark, long eyelashes only enhance this, framing the windows to her soul. The rest of Rin's heart shaped face is nothing special. She has narrow eyebrows, a small nose, and a thin set of lips. Any fool can see that she's beginning to blossom into a young woman, which she's extremely self-conscious of.

Quote:

Name: Kaishu
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Dark
Rank: Commander
Element: Master firebender
Bio: Kaishu likes to keep anything in his past that could be used against him a secret. He grew up in Fire Nation with both his parents, and decided early on that the world wasn't good enough for him. He formed the Dark Nation and became its Commander at the age of 15. Throughout his twenty-seven years as leader of his nation, he had had many mistresses. One of them, more recently, was the lost Princess of the Fire Nation, but she was known to Darkness as General Keiko.
The one person Kaishu may have cared about, even a little, was Naina, Kyoko's mother and a former servant girl. Since her death and Kyoko's birth, he has seemed colder than he was before, if possible.
He has two sons, one missing and the other disowned, an illegitimate daughter, and a wife, deceased.
Personality: Kaishu trusts nothing and no one other than himself, and cares for nothing and noone, other than himself. A extremely ruthless man, he is slow to show mercy and quick to kill. His pride can sometimes get in the way of his dominance, but his excellent self-control can usually make up for any weakness he possesses.

Bio: Raiden is an agent of Darkness. Not only is he one of the best, but he is also the Commander's youngest son. He has grown up being trained to be a lethal killer. Raiden has been sent on the worldwide mission of destruction and to find the avatar. After finding out his father's true intentions with the world, Raiden becomes closely involved in the avatar hunt. His father notes Raiden's ambition towards the catching of the avatar, and he assigns him to be the head of the hunt. Raiden has personally seen that everyone who is suspected of being the avatar is taken to safety, so if they are truly the avatar, they can grow strong and defeat the Commander. His newest assignment is a Water Nation girl. This is his first time having to harbor a girl to safety because the Dark agents finally gave in to seeing that the new avatar may be a girl and not a guy. He has a lynx, Ayame, that he keeps with him at all times. Ayame helps Raiden to seek out the supposed avatars.
Personality: Raiden is a quiet guy with a kind heart. He puts up a tough front for his father and fellow agents. Raiden is quick-witted and follows his instincts more often than his orders. He has some anger issues, but only towards anyone in the Dark Nation.

Name: Daiyu / Nialln, God of Darkness
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Dark Nation
Rank: Lieutenant-Colonel
Bio: Daiyu was the first child born an agent of Darkness, his mother being the Commander's sister. He had always loved fighting, and would learn anything anyone had to teach him. As a result, he's good at a lot of things. Despite not being a bender, Daiyu is a phenomenal warrior, a master of long swords, katanas, dual blades, archery, spears, and claw-blades. His weapon of choice, however, is his beloved halberd. Its blade is made from black jade, which seemed fitting, as Daiyu translates to black jade.
Tragically, Daiyu was born for a single, cruel purpose. To be the human counterpart for Nialln, God of Darkness. The god has been housed in his soul all his life, sharing his thoughts and feelings and feeding off the boy's agony. Just recently, Nialln has taken complete control of Daiyu's body, rendering the man no more. He controls shadows, and often forms them into flames; night-fire was Nialln's creation. He can also probe into people's souls as long as there is darkness inside, seeing their innermost desires and fears.
Personality: Daiyu is charismatic and teasing, though his sense of humor would be considered sadistic at best. He always seems to know more than he lets on and is constantly leaving on deadpan lines, but can move as silently as a deer-snake. He loves to flirt, especially with Kyoko.
However, since Nialln's takeover, his personality has changed. Calculating and cruel, revelling in others' hatred and pain. An altogether intimidating person. Some things however, have not changed. He still knows more than he lets on, and loves to watch people squirm.
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Appearance: Tall and lanky, with very strong arms. His hair is floaty and blonde, his eyes a piercing golden-brown. He never seems to be without his signature grin.
With Nialln in control, Daiyu's eyes have changed to a harsh, cruel black.

Name: General Keiko Hamagi
Played by: Lil_Dragongurl
Nation: Dark
Element: Fire Bender
Rank: General in the land of Darkness
Bio: Keiko barley remembers anything before she came to the land of Fire at the age of Seventeen. It all seems like such a blur and so unreal. She remembers vivid images of majestic things like palaces and fancy clothes, but she considers those girlish dreams she used to cover up a morbid past that she obviously wanted to forget. In truth, Keiko was the princess of the Fire nation. No one knew because of the name change and the fact that when she went missing she left no clue.
Her memory kicks in when she wakes up in the home of a traveling merchant who found her in the desert. After dropping her off near the Nation of Darkness she traveled into the nation to become one of the most fierce and respected warriors there. Though well fighting she was sent away for a year to the Northern water tribe to become a spy.
After a year or two she returned to take charge from the last general who she felt was incompetent. Even if she knows nothing about herself she's extremely loyal and trusting to Lord Kaishu and follows orders with her 'No Questions Asked Policy.' She's one of the few soldiers who hasn't been killed yet, for who knows what reason.
Though and interesting rumor of her past, and of her affections towards Lord Kaishu are often heard among the soldiers she tries to pay no attention to it and more so on her assignments.
Personality: Extremely Loyal, Self Sacrificing, Tough, Closed off
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Appearance: "I see vivid memories of who I once was, but those are just girlish memories of my present self. All that Matters is what Lord Kaishu wishes, I now live to please only him."

The Commander put her through vigorous training to become one of the top earthbenders in the Dark Nation. During her childhood in the Dark Nation, she came to know Ichiro. They fell in love. Surprisingly, the Commander approved of them courting, and he even had arranged them to be married. Then on Keeoni’s fourteenth birthday, Ichiro vanished. He had left her a birthday gift of a fire-carved necklace on the finest golden chain. Keeoni was devastated when she learned that Ichiro had run away. She turned to Raiden, Ichiro’s younger brother. He was lonely without his big brother, and Keeoni took it upon herself to comfort him. She quickly fell in love with Raiden, even though he was five years younger than her. Keeoni felt that Raiden was a smaller version of her gone fiancé. Raiden rejected her though every time that he could. Over the years, Keeoni still loved Raiden, though it had dwindled down to a small fire. Then when Keeoni was twenty-one, Raiden left on his mission to find the avatar. Keeoni’s heart broke again, and she sought comfort in her soon to be best friend, Kyoko. Over the next two years they became very close.

Nation: Dark
Element: Fire

Bio: Mamoru was born into the Dark Nation. His parents cared for him under the watchful eye of Lord Kaishu. Mamoru's mother was once Kaishu's aunt's servant. She had left the Fire Nation to stay under Kaishu. Mamoru found out at a very young age that he could firebend. He was sent into training immediately upon his fourth birthday. Mamoru learned quickly and had mastered the art of firebending by his seventh birthday. He met Kyoko in his classes, and made every excuse that he could to spend time with her. As the years progressed, Mamoru found himself in love with Kyoko. He had comforted her when she came to him, tearful and in pain. Mamoru mastered the sword and was placed into the Elite Squad when he was fourteen. He moved up in rank quickly, but this proved to cause his absence around Kyoko more often.

Ashefire_the_wild

Name: Ada
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Dark
Rank: The Commander's Right Hand
Bio: Ada is Kaishu's twin sister, fifteen minutes older. Her personality always let her brother take the lead, and followed him whatever he did. Her father always told her to make decisions on her own, but it wasn't that she wasn't capable, she just didn't have the want to. When she was fifteen, the same year the Dark Nation was officially created, Ada bore a child to a waterbender, who later died in a raid. She named her son Daiyu, after the black jade that could defeat the gods, but never paid much attention to him. She bore him to be a shell for Nialln to house, so didn't believe he needed her to look after him.
Personality: Ada is very immature and sometimes acts spoiled. She shares her son's love of teasing, but definitely doesn't love her son. She doesn't particularly care for anyone, and treats them all the same in certain situations. She takes advantage of the fact that she is the only person Kaishu wouldn't kill.
Gender: girl
Age: 42
Appearance: Tall, shapely, and beautiful, with long, straight raven hair and dark blue eyes. She is very possessive of her beauty, and dislikes anyone who is prettier than she.

Grigori Federov

Name: Niashi Codana
Played by: Grigori Federov
Nation: Dark Nation
Rank: Private
Bio: He used to be a member of the Spider-snakes, a gang that held considerable sway in the Fire Nation capitol. After trying to rise through the ranks with what he thought was a clever plan he was kicked out, lucky to have escaped with his life. Not realizing this he joined the Dark Nation army so he could try to attain a high enough rank that he could return to wreak vengeance on those that spared his life the first time. It hasn’t worked out for him.
Personality: Lacks foresight, as well as advanced speech, often relying on his martial ability to do the speaking for him. Because of this he often steps over the line has to be reprimanded. The one area of speaking he does excel in is angering people. He has the innate ability to pick up on what will annoy people and use it to dig away at them until they snap. He has yet to realize how to use this to his advantage and simply uses it for amusement. He is domineering in general and revels in being able to subjugate others.
Gender: Boy
Age: 35
Appearance: He lost his left eye somewhere along the line. He swore revenge on whoever did it, but has since forgotten, now thinking it makes him look more hardcore.

"Ashefire_the_wild"

Name: Suchi Rubi
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Nation: Dark
Rank: Brigadier General
Bio: Suchi was born in Omashu, and lived there until her sixteenth birthday, when she left to join the army. Of course, she never specified which army. The Dark Nation had always intrigued her, simply because it was so different. She was sure there would always be something to do or someone to fight. Due to her energy and audacity, Suchi rose quickly through the ranks. She had always held a deep admiration for her superior, General Keiko, and was absolutely heartbroken when she quit.
Personality: Suchi is very dynamic and bold, but holds the highest respect for rules and her superiors. As long as they make sense to her. She is attracted to the abstract, and bores easily. Despite that, she is actually really smart, if immature. She is very strong and has great stamina; a vicious warrior.
Gender: Girl
Age: 24
Appearance: Very strong and lean, super-fit, with bright blue eyes and spiky red hair. Her hands and feet are unusually large, giving her a great deal of balance.

Ashefire_the_wild

Name: Uani
Played by: Ashefire_the_wild
Element: Air
Bio: Uani was found alone on a Fire Nation beach half a year ago by the Fire Lord's guards. She didn't seem to remember anything that would've explained what she was doing there, but there were various burns all over her body. None were serious, and healed quickly. All but a brand on the back of her left hand, an insignia that noone recognized.
Uani is an airbender, but not very good one. She can barely pull up a breeze, but when she's panicked or scared she can create a whirlwind that she has no control over. It seemed that, under the correct training, Uani could be a great bender, among the greatest. But with the war going on, it was too dangerous for the Fire Lord to send a small girl, and a bender at that, across the continent to train at an Air temple. So for now, she's stuck at the palace.
Personality: When you meet Uani, you'd probably think she was mute. The truth is she can talk, but is just very, very, quiet. When she does speak, her voice is soft and a bit raspy from the fire she was supposedly involved in. She is shy and insecure, which might be the reason her airbending is so limited. Her emotions show on her face, and she cries easily. She acts somewhat like a toddler.
Gender: Girl
Age: 10
Appearance: Tiny and thin, with darkly tanned skin, shoulder-length white-blonde hair, and round hazel eyes. She has an unusual brand on her left hand.

Grigori Federov

Name: Zaishi
Played by: Grigori Federov
Nation: Rebel
Element: Water
Rank: Freelance Captain (aka Pirate Captain)
Bio: Zaishi did used to belong to the Southern Water Tribe when he was a kid. He never liked having to work to simply survive though and set out once he was old enough to make a living in the other nations with the skills he'd acquired living at the North Pole. He quickly found that the more unsavoury the job was the better it paid and this attracted a rather unsavoury crew. He is now considered by most to be a pirate with a growing reputation. He sees himself as a businessman first and foremost and treats his occupation as just that, business, just with less red tape to deal with. He tries to keep the peace on board his ship and succeeds for the most part. This is impressive for crew made of forty crew and two boats, and it adds to his reputation.
His flag ship is The Koh, named because it causes all who go up against it to lose face. The second ship he acquired is a catamaran called The Skid because of its surprising ability to change direction suddenly. He has no flag as he doesn't belong to any nation.
Personality: Zaishi is inscrutable most of the time, with many of his crew members not able to tell what he's thinking. He can read them though, and he often intervenes to stop fights from happening and grudges festering. In terms of work he is straight forward. He goes where the work is and if something obstructs it he'll try to trmove it beforehand. How he accomplishes his tasks is hard to predict and quite often surprising. He rarely fails because of this.
Gender: Boy
Age: 25
Appearance: Still uses his first fishing knife in fights. Also uses spiked iron balls that have water on the inside, allowing him to control where they fly.

~Sying: Prologue

Sying coughed roughly, feeling the smoke searing her throat with each breath. Everything hurt. Her clothes were charred, her skin was covered in soot. All she could see was fire and death.
"Get out!" a woman shouted, arms waving wildly to ward off the black-clad oppressors with water. "Run! You have to get out of here!"
Sying's blue eyes filled with unshed tears, form the smoke or the situation she didn't know. "No! Auntie, I'm not leaving you!"
The agents of Darkness had swept silently into her small Water Tribe home, the firebenders among them throwing fire wherever they could. The ice and snow did nothing to snuff the flames, with the oil spread around the village by the non-benders. The home she had known was nothing but wet, oily snow, set ablaze with flames reaching to the clear, starry sky. Shouldn't it rain when her world tore apart? Oh how she wished it would rain.
"Go, Sying!" her uncle yelled, crashing his whalebone club into the head of an earthbender. "You cannot allow yourself to be captured! We'll be fine, go! Now!"
The violet-haired teenager didn't have time to think about the meaning of her Uncle's words. A masked warrior blocked her view of the only family she ever knew, fire bursting savagely from his fingers. Sying let out a startled squeal, barely jumping out of the way in time to escape the flames. The burned ends of her long hair dropped with a hiss in the snow as she fell backward onto the ground. Scrambling up, she waved her arm in a sweeping motion, pulling up a hurried wall of snow to block the agent's next blast. With the little time she had, Sying began to run. She ran away from the only home she ever had, from her family that could be dead in a matter of moments, from the terrible agents of Darkness that destroyed her life. She ran, and she didn't look back.

Sying skidded down the snowy slope, feeling the savage fire's heat fade against her back. She spared a quick, pained glance over her shoulder, knowing she wouldn't be able to see any of her people burning at this distance. The inflamed village was but a blood-red glow against the horizon, like sunrise, though Sying knew the sun wouldn't show it's face again for another month. The fiery glow began to widen as if stretching out. The fire is spreading...hopefully the agents haven't poured oil into the ocean, as well. It was strange how she could think so clearly at such a time. Sying stumbled into one of the sparse areas of wood, finally stopping for reprieve behind a cluster of frosty rocks. She had to check on one thing. Sticking two fingers in her mouth, the teenage girl let out a long, shrill whistle that echoed through the trees. Moments later, a white blob appeared against the luminescence of the fire, growing bigger and bigger until the familiar form of her eagle-wolf touched down gently. "T-Tokku!" Sying sobbed, throwing her arms around his neck and burying her face in his white fur. You survived...we're the only ones left, old friend... She cried then, letting out what she couldn't before in a flurry of tears. They're gone...they're all gone...my home, my family, my tribe...gone. I'm alone.

-- Raiden: Prelude to Flames

Raiden watched as the Dark agents swept through the small Water Tribe village. He paced around the outskirts with his hands in his pockets. Ayame, Raiden’s ever-faithful lynx, trotted beside him. His blue eyes searched through the running villagers for the girl. He didn’t find her on the outskirts, so Raiden slipped through the ring of flames and into the village. A scream drew him to the right.
“Get out!” the woman’s voice screamed. “Run you have to get out of here!”
Raiden’s curiosity piqued. He walked towards the voice. Then a second voice, scared and full of fear, responded. Raiden knew he had found her. From behind a burning house he caught sight of the girl. One of his subordinates was attacking her. Raiden’s anger rose as he saw his target pull up a wall of ice in her defense. He lashed out quickly with a snap of his wrist and incinerated the agent before he could harm the girl anymore than he already had.
Shaking his head, Raiden followed the girl out of the village. Sympathy for the girl laced his heart as he hid in the shadows, calculating when he could appear to her. Raiden sent Ayame ahead to search out a good interception point. The plan that was circulating in his head played out before his eyes. With great care Raiden burned his clothes and his hair. He smirked as he jogged quietly over the snow-laden plain.

**Mei Shu**

I have to leave this place.
Mei Shu sat up from the cold earth, waking to another empty morning. She shivered in the wind. Seizu would always bend the earth to keep it soft and warm for me... But he was gone, everyone was gone.
But where will I go?
Mei Shu stepped out into the watery sunlight, inspecting the ravaged clearing.
I don't know.
The abandoned Earth Kingdom city had never been a very organized, clean home, but now pieces of armor and weapons and all the rebel's supplies were strewn about randomly and trampled underfoot.
What will I do?
The tiny girl eyed a bloodied scrape on the far wall, a reminder of where Seizu had finally been taken. A reminder of how much he gave up to save her.
I don't know.
"Stupid Dark Nation.." Mei Shu seethed, kicking angrily at a pitch black war helmet with the toe of her boot.
I'm at a loss.

-- Raiden: The Meeting Place

Raiden came to the wooded area just before darkness. She wasn’t far off. He could hear her still sobbing. Raiden pained himself as he carefully burned the tips of Ayame’s beautiful fur. Then he laid down at the base of a tree and passed out. Ayame whimpered quietly, but plopped down next to her master and life-long companion and fell asleep.
