History/Bio: Nyssa was born and raised in the Northern Water Tribe. She showed waterbending skill at a very early age. Her parents were loving and protective, and she lived a very sheltered and carefree life. Just like the people of her tribe, she was deeply spiritual and felt a deep connection with all the life around her, and would spend most of her time meditating at the oasis where the koi fish would swim.
But one day, when Nyssa was thirteen, she was practicing her WaterBending with a few of her closest childhood friends, when she was attacked by a great white animal with red eyes. Nyssa's left wrist was bitten and left her arm badly wounded. The healers did all they could to heal the wound, but nothing they did would work. Finally, the Tribe's wise-woman told Nyssa her fate: the animal that bit her was not from this world, but from the spirit world. The wound would never heal, and an infection would spread through her body, and she wouldn't live for very long. She would probably never see her 20th birthday.
Angry and scared, Nyssa left the north pole in the hopes to find a cure for herself. She has been wandering the world ever since.

Name: Rave Endo
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Karmic Alignment: +4
Rank: [LB]-7
Tribe/Nation: Water Tribe
General Description: Rave Endo
Eye Colour~ Dark Hazel
Hair Colour~ Brown top, black sides. Alway's kept neat.
Skin Colour~ Dark Tan [If there is such a thing...]
Clothing~ Starting from the buttom, Rave wears brown knee high boots. His dark blue trousers correspond with his blue long sleeve top goes down to the groin area. However, his blue top contrasts with his grey undershirt. He has a dark brown leather belt with a dirty gold belt buckle that is around his waist. Rave also has a yellow oulined red breast plate over his blue top. His forearm is covered with leather gloves that matches the color as his boots. Around his neck is a medium weight tan cape that contrasts with his skin, making him all the more noticable.
History/Bio: Three years to this date, Rave has been a water bender. At the age of fourteen, Rave was merely a school boy, learning aggersively how to maintain a business, just like his father. His family was quite proud of him, nonetheless. However, Rave's father came into debt and trouble was lurking nearby. One day, after his classes ended, Rave came home to a murdered ridden house. Blood was everywhere and it call came from one source - his family.

Both Rave's father and mother were brutally murdered by the loan sharks his father borrowed from. These gangsters would not let payment go unpaid, and this was the consequence. What was worse was when Rave reported it in, the tribe's policemen did not do a thing. Fueled with anger and rage, Rave went to where the gansters hanged around. Rave started a losing fight, but right before the death strike could occur, an old man - a water bender nontheless - intervened and stopped the gangsters from killing Rave. Bruised and humilated, the gangsters swore that one day, they would get the old man back as they scurried away with their tails under their legs.

After the fight, the old man took Rave in as his new apprentice. The master water bender saw potential in Rave and promised him to teach Rave everything he knew, but in return, Rave would have to live just like the old man, a wonderer who does good deeds without notice. Rave agreed for he had nowhere else to go and also because there would be no money left to pay for his schooling. After that day, Rave left his water tribe and started to travel with the old water bending master.

A year passed and Rave started to get the hang of water bending. His teacher taught him the basics, but he left it at that. Rave's master felt that Rave himself was still a little young to fully grasp what water bending was all about and that if he DID teach him at an early age, Rave's master feared that Rave might misuse the gift. Rave didn't mind, however. Instead, he followed all his master's teachings with attentiveness and pleasure. But like before, good things have their ends.

One night, Rave came back after getting some groceries in a town where he and his master was staying at for a week. When Rave came back to the room, right outside the door, he saw blood flowing from under the cracks. Immediately, Rave busted in and saw the very same gansters beating his Master. However, Rave came too late. With a finishing uppercut, Rave's master fell to the room's floor. Enraged, Rave forgot all his master's teachings about peace and when to and when not to use violence, but instead was fueled by anger and hate.

Though he was underestimated, Rave made the gangsters regret what they had did with his master and his family. Even with the basic water bending techniques, Rave used water bending the same way the gangster's did. Violent, merciless, evil, some untap power was unleashed and Rave used it the wrong way. The fight ended with severed heads and more blood flowing from carcasses. Rave's blind rage dispersed as he heard his master called him.

Promptly, Rave came to his master's side. With his dying breath, Rave's master said Rave had failed in what his master tried to teach him. Unless Rave took his teacher's lesson to heart and abide by the rules Rave's master told him beforehand, Rave would never be a true water bender as his master was. Crying, Rave held his master's dead body close as the teacher's spirit left it's vessel.

The next day came and there were no charges pressed against Rave. The authorities believed it was self defense and what had to be done was done. But once again, Rave was alone, master-less, parent-less. Rave had hit rock bottom at this point. But as the saying goes, once someone reached rock bottom, they can never go any lower, and so the only way left is to go up. Before, the authorities cleaned the room, Rave passed through them and took the scrolls his teacher had. Rave made the decision to teach himself water bending and that as a way to atone for his mistake and redeem himself, Rave would start to try and live like his master.

Rave left the town that night and instilled the memory within his subconsciousness. The results of that day would be his reminder of what the world was like, how he dishonored himself, and the decision he made to better himself by living the way his master did.

Name: Saril Hiera (Sah-reel High-ear-ah)
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Male
Karmic Alignment: -2
Rank: [LB]-4
Tribe/Nation: Water Tribe
General Description:
Eye Colour~ Saril’s eyes never seem to want to stay one color, moving from a foggy grey to a beautifully clear blue depending on how the light hits them.
Hair Colour~ Dozens of braided lengths of prematurely white hair dangle from Saril’s head, wrapped in blue coiled wire, his hair seeming a combination of water and moonlight when the sun goes down.
Skin Colour~ In contrast to his snow white hair, Saril’s skin is tanned due to his exposure to the sun during his daily life.
Clothing~ Baggy dark blue pants cover the majority of sturdy brown leather boots that are lined with fur for warmth, over his chest he wears a simple white baggy shirt with a blue and white fur coat atop with a hood that is usually worn hanging against his back. To finish off his outfit, Saril’s neck is always covered by a blue mask that can be pulled up to cover the lower portion of his face, ears and the tip of his nose downwards.
History/Bio: Saril was born a member of the Northern Water Tribe and survived for just under sixteen years living a life of pranks and carefully planed jokes that kept him toeing the line of social acceptance. A few times he went a little too far, hopping over the line, but he was always ready to accept the punishment for whatever he had done and it never got in the way of his studies as a Waterbender.

Taught for the majority of his life to be a warrior, Saril’s education in the literary and numeric arts were severely lacking right up until the point when he was told who he would marry, the day after his sixteenth birthday. Brought up in a city structured in this way the young Waterbender thought nothing of it and enjoyed spending time with his bride to be, that was until she decided to teach him how to read, write and do more complex mathematics.

A year later, less than two weeks before he was due to marry Ariena, the Northern Water Tribe was attacked by members of the Fire Nation once again. Although they managed to repel the opposing forces, many of the Tribe was injured and several were killed despite the best efforts of the healers. Ariena, a strong healer herself, had been tending to the wounds of several of her kin when a ball of fire exploded atop of her despite Saril’s best attempts at diverting the large blast.

Screaming in rage, the young Waterbender drew large amounts of water to him with slow and calculated actions and chilled the water as it collected; hurling it towards the ship he believed responsible for killing his fiancé. The effort of the action caused him to pass out and he never learned if he was able to pay back Ariena’s killers though he highly doubted it.

Throwing all of his efforts into training his abilities to the highest he could, Saril ignored his family when they attempted to wed him once again and left his home for weeks at a time as part of scouting or hunting groups. Many people noticed the quick change in Saril’s attitude, the change from the trickster child into the warrior adult who could not sate his thirst for revenge. It was often whispered that he should leave, many fearing that he would bring down an even greater attack upon their village, but he has not yet done so… though it’s always a possibility.

Name: Keir
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Karmic Alignment: +2
Rank: [LB]-4
Tribe/Nation: Earth Kingdom / Water Tribe [Note: Water Bender]
General Description:

Eye colour~ blue-green.
Hair colour~ black, worn in dreadlocks that hang just below his shoulders.
Skin colour~ light brown
Clothing~ Keir, the son of an Earthbender and a Waterbender, wears the colors of his two heritages: green and blue. He usually wears a sleeveless blue shirt over a snug-fitting long-sleeved green shirt, a pair of dark blue shorts over a pair of green leggings, and a pair of green boots. He always wears a necklace of round green beads, and usually carries around a blue-grey satchel to carry various items in.
History/Bio: Keir’s mother, Orla, was a Northern Waterbender, who traveled southward to see more of the world. While in the Northern regions of the Earth Kingdom, she met a handsome young Earthbender named Kumaro. The two of them fell in love and married. They traveled around, both wanting to see more of the world, but, recent times made some areas unsafe, and they wanted to start a family. So, they settled down in a small forest village in the northern Earth Kingdom. Orla worked not only as a village midwife and healer, but her skills with weaving and spinning ensured no shortage of money. Kumaro was potter, his Earthbending adding to his own natural artistic talent and skill. They tried for years to have children, and eventually, they did. They named him Keir.
Keir was the spitting image of his father, but had inherited Orla’s Waterbending. From both of them, he had inherited a love of the arts, but was a musician instead of a potter or a weaver.
When he got old enough, Orla trained him in what Waterbending she knew. But, Orla’s own skill wasn’t enough. Keir needed to learn from a Master the proper Waterbending forms. So, Keir set off for the Northern Water Tribe to find a Water Master.

Name: Ori Obsidian
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Karmic Alignment: +3
Rank: [LB]-4
Tribe/Nation: Water Tribe
General Description:
Eye Colour~ Grey/silver.
Hair Colour~ Black, worn in a long braid.
Skin Colour~ A lighter shade of the usual waterbender dark.
Clothing~ She wears a plain grey shirt with long sleeves. Over that she wears a sleeveless blue tunic with yellow borders and a little bit of embroidered detail, and matching blue pants. She also has a fur-trimmed blue coat for the colder weather of the poles, as well as boots and gloves, of course. In warm enough weather she would do without the grey shirt, as well. She wears small blue jeweled earrings, and a carved water symbol hangs from her belt.
History/Bio: Originally from the Northern Water Tribe, Ori left the North Pole with her parents and younger siblings at the age of five. Her mother loved the thrill of adventure and her father made his life studying and writing about the cultures of other regions. Ori came to prefer the warmer, more temperate climate of parts of the Earth Kingdom, and harbored no thoughts of ever returning to the frigid cold of the Water Tribe settlements.

Shortly after her tenth birthday, Ori’s parents – both proficient waterbenders – moved the family to the Fire Nation. They joined up with a caravan of travelers and merchants heading in the same general direction. During the move, there was a dangerous meeting with a group of powerful warriors, some from each bending style. Those among the caravan who were benders fought valiantly to defend it, and it was believed that they were victorious. Ori and her younger brothers and sister, however, were kidnapped from the caravan. Ori’s memories of that time are fragmented and incomplete, but she remembers the warriors running away with one of her brothers in their possession just moments before her parents found them. She had known she was a waterbender by then, and she has blamed herself since, for not trying to do something, even though there was little she could have done.

The family searched for nearly a year for their lost child, before finally, reluctantly, abandoning the search and returning to the North Pole, their old home. There Ori sought to polish her waterbending skills as much as she could, and when she focused, she made fast progress.

Generally, Ori doesn’t say much unless she deems it worth saying. She is quiet and reserved, but her close friends know her to be dependable and reliable. She is trustworthy with the words of others, but doesn’t care to share much about herself.
