  "They robbed my child of a loving Father before she drew her first breath. The Reorder will learn the hard way that nothing is more fierce then a Mother's Love...and I...am more then happy to teach them that lesson before they fall. And I won't need my firebending to destroy them."

• 
  
  Age Appearance: Looks Younger then she actually is, often mistaken for 19-22
  
  Length and build: 5' 10", Athletic
  
  Weight: 121 lbs (Pre-Pregnancy), 155 lbs (Current - She is 36 Weeks Pregnant)
  
  Scars and tattoos:
  
  • Has a Tattoo of the Fire Nation's Emblem on her right forearm
  • Floral Tattoo Sleeve on her left arm
  • Scar on her right elbow (Slashed by a Dagger in a Fight)
  • Scar on her ankle (Grazed by an Arrow Strike from a Bow)
• 
  Personality:
  Karasu was once a Gentle, Kind and Patient young woman, but now she can be described as Cold-Hearted, Hateful and Hot Tempered. The imprisonment of her nation's benders have stripped her of the gentle heart she has once retained and the Fire Nation of its pride, replaced by a lust for revenge against the Reorder. Her Hardened and Cold Exterior still belies a Gentle heart as a Mother's Love must also be just as Gentle as it is Fierce.
  
  Prior to the emergence of the Reorder, Karasu was never inherently Cold-Hearted or Hateful, even though she came from a Family of Soldiers and Fighters. Might did not always make right and unlike her Father or her Brothers, she thought it was better to show people mercy, believing that prisoners should not be killed and that no one deserved execution, especially for the wrong reasons. Over time, as her fellow fire benders were killed off in the nation's long and hard war, this belief slowly dwindled...and finally died when her Father was publicly executed. Although it has been a few years since she has taken up the sword and willing to take matters into her own hands, she believes that her enemies deserve everything that they get, death included.
  
  Deep down, despite the Hatred and Anger that surges through her heart and her very mind as well as the Cold and Fierce exterior that she puts up, Karasu is just a Heartbroken, Lost and Vulnerable Woman who very deeply misses her Family, which had been torn apart twice, once when her Parents died and her Siblings all taken away and imprisoned. The second time was when her Husband was executed. Without Guidance, or the Love of Family at her most Vulnerable, Karasu also has her doubts about being a good Mother to her Daughter, as she is torn between wanting to raise her Daughter and taking up her Sword to pursue Revenge. In the end, she can only hope that a Mother's Love will guide her towards the right choice.
  
  Likes:
  
  • Tea, with Peppermint being her favorite
  • Practicing her Swordsmanship
  • Sitting By the River (She finds the sound of the flowing stream to be relaxing)
  • Floral Dresses (They go very well with the growing belly - Would Iike to keep wearing them after her daughter is born because they really complete the 'Mom Look')
  
  Dislikes:
  
  • The Current Avatar (Karasu considers her a spineless coward and a worthless pawn for not standing against the Reorder)
  • The Reorder themselves and everything that they stand for
  • Cabbages (She just thinks they're gross)
  Fears:
  
  • Losing her Unborn Baby (While it is any Expectant Mother's Worst Fear, her child is her last gift from her late husband.)
  • Sharp Objects near her stomach (Temporary because she's pregnant - She will start crying if it gets too close)
  • Her Fire Bending getting exposed in public (Because her Husband got killed over this)
  
  Goal(s):
  
  • Safely Carry Her Pregnancy to Term
  • Free Her Siblings from Captivity
  • Destroy the Reorder to Avenge Her Father, Mother and Husband
  • Build a World where her Daughter can live happily
• 
  Backstory:
  Karasu was born into a Military Family within the Fire Nation as the Youngest Daughter, having three older brothers and three older sisters. Her Father was an accomplished General while her Mother was a Combat Instructor. Although her Mother was not a Bender, she still excelled in a different way and was a skilled Archer, Swordswoman and Tactician. While all her Brothers inherited their Father's abilities, Karasu is the only one out of her Sisters to possess this trait, while the other three inherited their Mother's skills. All seven siblings would go to continue their familial tradition of serving in the Fire Nation's Military. Unfortunately, their careers were ill-fated thanks to the Reorder during the Fire Nation's final years against their latest enemy after the other three nations fell before them.
  
  Despite putting up a long and hard fight, the Fire Nation eventually succumbed and her Father was publicly executed, igniting the hatred towards the Reorder in her heart and mind. After her Father was executed, all three of her Brothers were captured and sent to the Fire Nation Internment Camps to never see the sun again, while her Sisters were taken as Prisoners of War, sent to Labor Camps. The last strike to her heart was her Mother's Death, brought on by heartbreak from losing her husband and all her children...gone.
  
  Alone, Karasu had to learn to conceal her Fire-Bending abilities, which, over time, became dwarfed by her skill with the Sword. Now living in what is considered a normal society, Karasu eventually married, but this was not to last as her Husband's Fire-Bending was exposed and he would choose death over imprisonment, much to her own disbelief. But before his death, he left her with one last gift...
  
  Shortly after becoming a Widow, Karasu learned that she was expecting her first child. Now on her way to being a single mother, she is faced with two choices: Spend the rest of her days in solitude and in hiding, or lend a hand to a growing resistance and attempt to create a world where she can raise her child happily. Weary, terrified, but determined, Karasu will one way, or another, show the Reorder that nothing is more fierce then a Mother's Love. But before she can take the fight to her greatest enemy, she must first prepare to welcome her Daughter into the world.

  Name: Ennoc
  
  Nickname: Fruitless wanderer
  
  Position: Survivor/wanderer/student
  
  Association:Neither
  
  Nation: Earth Kingdom - Si Wong Desert
  
  Bending Element: Earth
  
  Gender: Male
  
  Age and date of birth: 25, June 6th
  
  Sexuality: Asexual
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  Age Appearance:Early 20's
  
  Length and build: Stocky build of 173 cm in length with broad shoulders and chest
  
  Weight: 86 kilos
  
  Scars and tattoos: Two scars through his right eyebrow, lengthy scar across his face and nose which forks on his left side as well as several scars on his chest and arms.
  
  
• 
  Personality: Ennoc has always had a studious and curious mind something that was rare enough on its own in sandbender tribes, but it also came coupled with a gentle spirit and a desire to savour the many things in life. While these traits still ring through for him, his experiences have taught him the value of distance, silence and reservation as well.
  
  Much of his personality has been nurtured by his incessant wanderlust, even those aspects of which he failed to recognise their power over him. One such aspect is his absolute lack of social skills. Living in a tribe in the desert you rarely needed to approach new people as everyone kinda knew everyone else, but out in the world where literally everyone was a stranger...? No, he is horrible to understate it. To approach new people is almost like a punishment for him, a punishment in which he needed to face nothing but his own fears. Sadly this comes accompanied by his desire to actually be around people and get to know them. This paradoxical situation he finds himself in results in him often asking himself "why are you like this?" without much of an answer in response.
  
  Still he attempts to maintain a jovial outlook, his love for knowledge and studying new things helps him in this manner. On many occasions his desire to learn and teach have been referred to as "infectious" and indeed he often catches himself in random monologues about a culture's past and history.
  
  Yet despite his appearance and attitude, he knows of the niggling little voice in the back of his mind whispering to him of hopelessness and despair. From the moment he set out, his journey has been called pointless and he bore the nickname of the "fruitless wanderer" and in the world he has witnessed these words weigh heavier than he'd care to admit. There is a deep fear in his mind, a notion that when his journey reaches to an end, whatever end, he will have to look back on it and realise it was all in vain, that all his travelling, all his studying, all his efforts were nothing more than a desperate attempt to stave off the internal acceptance of unrivaled hopelessness.
  
  
  Likes:
  
  • Learning
  • Teaching
  • Travelling
  
  Dislikes:
  
  • The North & South poles (no sand/earth)
  • Spider-rats
  • Removing his coverings (Cultural thing)
  Fears:
  
  • Cages and tight spaces
  • Losing his bending
  • Losing his mind
  
  Goal(s):
  
  • To understand the other bending styles
  • To spread his knowledge
• 
  Backstory:
  Ennoc has always been the odd one out; he had little talent for scavenging and even less for thievery resulting in him being seen as useless and a waste of resources in his tribe. Instead of attempting to be something he could not, he shifted his focus and efforts to improving other talents which could potentially be of use for those around him. One such talent was his curiosity and quick grasp of new concepts. As such he sought out sources of knowledge, but seeing as they were limited in the vast empty sands of Si Wong, he was forced to rely on the knowledge of those from the outside.
  
  One day, an air nomad wandered into the Misty Palms Oasis and through observation alone Ennoc began to replicate the movements and flow of the Nomad's bending. While his method was not an exact replica, it showed him insight into his own earthbending all the same. Where once he moved the grains of sand separately causing the wind to bend to their will, now he focussed and felt the wind in between the grains. Where other sandbenders fixated only on the movement of the sand to push their sailers forward like using a blunt axe to cleave wood, he would hone it and sharpen it. As a result he managed to improve the efficiency of how he traversed the desert, not by much, but enough to make a difference.
  
  This seed of learning eventually blossomed into a feeling of constriction by the lack of opportunity within Si Wong and a desire to study the other elements as best he could. A feeling that was devastating and destructive in ways he could not possibly predict. He had heard of the inquisition, the rise of the new world order and the hunting of benders, but these whispers of strangers did not deter him. Just as the desert had shielded the desert tribes from Earth Kingdom control, so too had it shielded them more than most from the reorder and as a result Ennoc didn't know enough to be afraid.
  
  He set out with as carefree a mind as any young, naïve boy would, even as his tribesmen called his desire pointless and stupid, but this naïvety would be beaten out of him well enough. His travels brought him to many distant lands in search of benders who became harder and harder to find. In contrast however, the reorder became easier to stumble across. The mistakes he made were countless and he will bear the scars of these until the end of his days, yet still he carried on because despite the pain, despite the hardship, it all paled in comparison to the joy he found in learning.

• 
  Personality: To say that Feng is an eccentric human being might not properly prepare someone for someone of his seemingly self-contradictory nature. Despite his penchant of voluntary mutism, Feng tends to be an individual that maintains both a somewhat immature nature of
  spontaneousness, distractability, and, albeit limited by his inability to communicate in the same ways as others when it comes to overtly expressing it, a particular excitability. And yet, at the same time, Feng demonstrates a certain wisdom and patience, particularly in a down-to-earth nature involving the know of when some things must be accepted, and times when action must be taken. However, most distinctly, perhaps what ties his seemingly conflicting niche aspects of personality together, something that some might describe is a "scientific curiousity", resulting in a sort of a wondrous approach to the world at large, all despite the turnulent times he lives in.
  
  Aside from some interest in animals, one might quickly recognize Feng's particular interest in chemistry, and in that area, one might dare to call Feng a genius. With a background in firebending, Feng is extremely knowledgable on chemicals and materials that interact, are affected by, and themselves affect fire in some manner. Flammability, volatility, combustability; Feng is instricantly familiar with the natural recources the world has to offer his apothecary of hand-made incendiary equipment. From fire-works to blasting jelly to dynamite, Feng generally knows how to make it himself, and make it work good.
  
  Perhaps another prominent ingredient in the hot mess that is Feng is his background in the less... legally inclined- part of the world. Which we can get into the details of later, but make no mistake: This part of Feng's history is incredibly important in the concoction of the type of person he is. Feng is certainly someone willing to get his hands dirty, and just as well play dirty, especially when it comes to going against those such as the Reorder. And just as well, his sense of loyalty and duty to his comrades-in-arms is unwavering. Honor among thieves, so it's said, and as such, that peculiar brand of honor remains a part of Feng. Camaraderie is an important concept to Feng, and, despite all his oddity, can become fairly apparent.

Wow, its gotten awfully quiet in here. Where did everybody go? To keep communication, maybe we should make a Discord?

I am deeply sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to give this game the full attention it deserves. Have a lot on my plate and I just got too greedy trying to apply for this one again. I hope the game goes well and everyone has fun.
