screams. finally finished these in the car today, lemme know what y'all think ^^
Shi - Earth Kingdom earthbender, specifically a sandbender, 16yo. Shi grew up in a village on the edge of the Si Wong desert with his father, Wei. Wei was a sculptor, and ran a small shop to sell his goods that had been in their family for ggenerations. He tried to teach Shi the craft as well, but while his son was interested, Shi's love was always for the desert. As soon as he found out he could earthbend, he practically begged his father to let him join one of the roving sandbender tribes. Although Wei was reluctant, he eventually agreed, on the condition that Shi would visit him at least once a month. So, at the ripe old age of 7, Shi was out in the world. In the 9 years since then, he's kept his promise to his father, as well as honed his skills as a bender. Shi's favorite trick is to kick up huge clouds of dust, then move the particles within to give it the appearance of beings moving inside, an ability he fondly calls his 'mirages'. His sandbending Tribe also has set up an explicit scam around this- as opposed to outright robbing a group travelling through the desert, use clouds of dust to disorient them, then kindly offer to guide them out of the desert. For a small fee, of course. Shi also still holds a passion for sculpting passed down from his father, and loves creating small sandstone statues by gathering layers of sand and compressing them into various shapes. Maybe a hook could be he goes home to his father one month and Wei is missing? War things? Maybe their shop was burned down? Idk, still deciding which group to put him in, so we'll see ^^.
Otoha - Fire Nation nonbender in Group 2, 18yo. Her whole life, she's been clawing her way to the top, having been blessed with neither important blood or bending abilities. To cope with this, Otoha has become an inventor and experimenter, using her brain to excel in the few areas she can. She views her old family as 'beneath her', and has tried to sever as many ties to her past as possible. Instead, she substitutes these with powerful connections and "friendships" that may help her move upwards in the world. She's a little bit of a mad scientist, and is definately not above human experimentation to learn what she needs. That's why she's hunting the Avatar- so she can hopefully convince the group to let her run a few tests on him before they kill him. Otoha's current large project, however, is figuring out a way to artificially recreate bending. Though she can't work on this as dedicately on the road, she hopes if nothing else this will give her a chance to study other forms of bending up close.

Just editing/adding to character stuff! (plus a few questions)
loose ideas for characters!
avatar group boy - airbender - senge - an airbender living in the earth kingdom. his mother and uncle left the air temples as children, and hid away in the earth kingdom when the majority of air nomads where wiped out. while his uncle decided to wander the world and uphold the air nomad way of life, his mother settled down and married an earthbender, staying in the earth kingdom to raise a family. when it became clear senge was an airbender, his mother taught him the basics- but forbade him from using his bending in public unless there was an emergency. unable to use his bending in obvious manners, senge then turned to music as a way to harness and improve his skills. while he was a skilled musician to begin with, he's been pushing himself to use his bending to play multiple instruments at once, and has dreams of traveling the earth kingdom as a self-declared one man band. - 16 yrs old - bisexual Lives with his younger sister (earthbender), mother (airbender), and father (earthbender) in a small earth kingdom village , open to friends and such!
group two boy - firebender - tarou - mostly known for his father's achievements, tarou is a young firebender who's lived his whole life in the fire nation. while not the strongest of benders, he spent most of his life locked up in libraries- absorbing as much info about the world as he could find. he's studied maps and legends of all the kingdoms- anything he thinks the fire nation could use to finally win the war. his father is a well-renowned military strategist, who all but encouraged his son's quest for knowledge. while not the most dedicated soul when it comes to tracking down and killing the avatar, he knows that it's his best chance to make a name for himself instead of just relying on the influence of his family. - 18 yrs old - homosexual Lives with his father (firebender) and mother (nonbender) in the fire nation, but recently has been traveling to the northern water tribe with his father, could prolly know most firebenders but he'd probably have the deeper relationships with others who grew up in the fire nation as opposed to those who grew up in the northern water tribe, open to any relationships!
group three girl - nonbender - naja - vaguely related to the chief of the northern water tribe (idk maybe niece or like grandniece, if that's okay???), naja is the last person one would expect to be trying to help the avatar avoid the alliances clutches. however, after seeing the war's destruction firsthand she finds it hard to take her family's side- especially after finding out that some of her own tribe left after the alliance was made. she had 0 trust for any firebender, and is a strong believer that once the fire nation is done conquering the earth kingdom they will betray the northern water tribe. while not a bender herself, she is a skilled warrior, and almost always had a weapon on her. - 17 yrs old - bisexual Lives with her "dads" (waterbender & nonbender), biological mother died shortly after her birth and so she was raised by her uncle and his spouse, niece of the chief of the northern water tribe, friends (or soon to be ex friends rip) with Sairen, knows Kotam- not sure if ur down to make them past friends like Sairen or just familiar with one another CreamCrow but I'm down for anything, her father killed Rotir's father WyrmTime how long ago was this? Just trying to figure out how old she would be at the time, open to any relationships!

layouts are good, and i know your coding will be great smore !!!
okay great! naja is very opinionated- especially around her peers, so like. she probably has sat sairen and kotam down for 45 minute lectures about the both the best way to defend the northern water tribe/fire nation and the top 10 best ways to wear your hair why they were still her friend afterwards idk
also i'm thinking she left the tribe? fairly recently??? and like it was originally because she wanted to make up her own mind about the war after having some doubts- so she might have told them her intentions? or at least written to them about it? idk

OoC :: Okay but Kotam is pretty down for that, both hearing new ideas regarding defenses or the best new hairstyles, so it works out great. Has probably dealt with longer lectures before and so sitting down for not even an hour is a piece of cake for him. he enjoys her opinions and views
but oooooooooo, interesting
IC :: words
