What makes them tick, and what do they want out of life?<br>History: I want to know, even briefly, what their life has been like up to this point. What makes them the way they are today?<br>Appearance: If you find a great picture, fantastic. Otherwise, I want a decent description.

				Name: Tsering<br>Age: Unknown, looks 25<br>Gender: Male<br>Ethnicity: Old Air Nation<br>Occupation: Guru/Merecenary<br>Abilities:Spirit walking, Air Bending<br><br>Personality: He is a very calm man and tends not to worry or even care about most things. This is due to his very long life and having seen a lot in it to the point where he isn't exactly quick to react to the problems of others. He enjoys life quite a bit. He is out only to enjoy life at this point in any way that he can. He also tends to watch the problems and worries of the world and of different groups. He will always make a note of it but rarely help.<br>History: He was a guru back when people were tribes on the back of turtles and he entered the spirit world to be closer to the spirits. He was however trapped there when the avatar closed the gates from the spirit world to the human world. It was then that he learned bodies don't age in the spirit world. He could stay here forever if no spirits got mad at him. He later learned that with meditation he could enter the human world but only as a spirit. As time went on he became even better at this until he could actually influence the real world. By the time Korra opens up the worlds again he is able to effect the real world almost exactly like he was there. He even tried being a Mercenary but with him randomly fading out it didn't go as well as it could have. He still earned a name for himself and a reputation and now with the worlds open to each other again He is fully able to impact the real world loosing only his bending by staying in the spirit world. He has been thinking about leaving for the real world and actually aging the rest of the way in the real world.<br>Appearance: While he still wears has full robes n the spirit world when he projects himself on to the real world it is without his tattoos and in full leather armor. This is because of the confusion caused by seeing an air bender in the past few hundred years and also the confusion from seeing an air bender mercenary.<br>Picture: <br>(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/221/7/6/aire_4_by_pjramone-d6hbgtm.jpg)

				Name: Iori Yagami <br>Age: 20<br>Gender: male<br>Ethnicity: Fire Nation<br>Occupation: member of the government&nbsp; of republic city/ leader of New Osai society (NOS)<br>Abilities: fire bending, energy bending (not exactly as seen in Aang's story)<br><br>Personality: Well, it is hard to describe him since his many changes of temper, as member of the government he is always showing a smile and looking like a cool-minded man who wants the best for the lowest classes in the city, very kind and considered, a true gentleman and a honest politician. Well pretty much the guy you would vote for president. However very in the deep, and specially with those of the NOS he is harsh, cold blooded and a figure which rules through sheer terror. In general terms, he will try to achieve his goals through dialogue, tricking people, blackmailing or whatever like that; if he can´t then he can use his powers in fire bending and the energy bending which, unlike Aang, can use only to control the mind of the enemy.<br>History: He was an orphan who never met his tru parents, however since a very young age was raised by his "master" a misterious man who taught him the glorious history of fire-nation before Zuko and the way they have choosen to spare its welfare to the world (through conquer obviously) he grown without questioning those beliefs and decided to restore the rightful place of his nation. For that he started a political career showing himself as he really cares about the people, in the shadows he was leading the NOS.<br>He got 2 secret weapons, the purple flames, which are more devastating than Azula's blue flames, because are fuelled by the spiritual energy of Orochi, an ancient spirit of a blood thristy dragon of the fire nation, second he got the energy bending which controls the inner chakra of the people as if it were hypnosis due to he can´t&nbsp; control properly this technique.<br>Picture: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs9/i/2006/049/f/c/Iori_Yagami___Berseck___by_Cierseruwal.jpg)<br>(http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np9/characters/iori-flames-kof13.jpg)</div></div>

				I'm gonna say it won't exactly be fair if you can both control people and have the purple flame so I would say pick which one you want more. I would recommend the purple flame though and say it burns a bit of his spirit in the process. That way it's fair and balanced. It will destroy most spirit characters instantly though then.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/1hRLLKY.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Goro Yamamoto<br><strong>Age:</strong> 28<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Ethnicity:</strong> Earth Kingdom<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Dai Li/Republic City Police Inspector<br><strong>Abilities:</strong> Earthbending, Metalbending<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Like most people there are multiple elements to the psyche of Goro, first and foremost Goro considers himself a Patriot of the Earth Kingdom. His father and grandmother were both agents of the Dai Li. As an agent of the Dai Li he carries himself like most others do, stern, uncompromising, discreet and of course very professional. It should be noted that Goro is loyal to the Earth Kingdom before anything else, this loyalty does not necessary extend to the individual currently ruling the Earth Kingdom. <br><br>When operating in Republic City however (which is the vast majority of the time, as he is currently involved in a long term deep cover operation) <em>Inspector Yamamoto</em> is an entirely different specimen. As a citizen of Republic City Goro is approachable, friendly and enjoys banter. He competes with his social and professional peers in a manner that is sporting but not aggressive. As an Inspector he has an attention to detail and displays impressive deductive skills. <br><br>On a more personal level, since coming to Republic City Goro has started to question some of his beliefs in service to the Earth Kingdom and the legitimacy of his mission, though he generally tells himself this is just a result of long exposure to a foreign life style and keeping his mission in mind is top priority.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Goro was born and raised in Ba Sing Se, his family enjoying a position of some relevance after generations of military service. One can go back as far as their are records and the Yamamoto's have been military people, in more recent generations however the Yamamoto family have served in the feared and respected <em>Dai Li</em>. Goro's father served, as did his Grandmother. From a young age it was made clear that Goro's parents intended for him to do the same. Goro was hardly a model student in his younger years, always more interested in his next meal or throwing people into a nearby river as opposed to learning how to do something like...math. <em>How life would change</em>. <br><br>At thirteen years old Goro was enlisted for training with the Dai Li. The young Mr. Yamamoto was a diamond in the rough so to speak, oozing potential but lacking any of the drive to see it fulfilled. As it would turn out, Ba Sing Se's secret police have ways of motivating a young man.&nbsp; What entered the Dai Li training program and what emerged were two entirely different creatures. The boy had been frivolous and rowdy, the graduated Dai Li agent was focused and dedicated. He was sculpted into the ideal operative of the Earth Kingdom. <br><br>Goro took part in standard service for the Dai Li until he was twenty one, by then he was both an accomplished Earth Bender and Metal Bender, though he had significantly more Earth Bending training. It brought up an <em>interesting</em> opportunity for the Dai Li. As the Earth Kingdom still considered Republic City to be built upon Earth Kingdom territory and rightfully within the borders of the Kingdom, they were curious as to what level of support there would be within the City if the Kingdom attempted to annex Republic City. Not to mention it would be valuable to have an agent inside the City in a position that would potentially give him information and insight. The Dai Li developed a fresh background for Goro which established him as having spent his youth as a member of a gang who underwent a successful rehabilitation while in prison before turning his life around and becoming a member of the Ba Sing Se Police, using his insight into Gang Activities to assist in their arrest. He was even given numerous tattoos to fully sell the story. With everything set up, Goro traveled to Republic City with fresh credentials and a letter of recommendation from the Ba Sing Se Police Chief. He enlisted in the Republic City Police where his Dai Li training quickly made him an invaluable officer. It has been seven years since then, he has since made Inspector and while he still regularly reports back to Ba Sing Se (via coded letters written to his 'sister') he has recently started having a few...<em>doubts</em>.&nbsp;

				<strong>Name</strong>: Shi Yong<br><br><strong>Age</strong>: 22<br><br><strong>Gender</strong>:Female<br><br><strong>Ethnicity</strong>: Water Tribe<br><br><strong>Occupation</strong>: Bouncer, Part time body guard, Muscle for Hire, aspiring pro bender<br><br><strong>Abilities</strong>: Water bending, very minor healing, 'High Pressure Quick Draw' A technique that is accomplished with practice and a specifically made metal water container kept with her at all times. Using the sturdy water holder and pulls at the water with extreme force until is released from the unyielding confines in a short ranged powerful stream of high pressure water. It is a technique she does not use lightly as anyone struck with the water will likely be broke nor pirced by it. It takes a bit of time to build up the pressure and she must be stationary until the very moment of release at which point she is allowed at least one leap or step before having to release the water. All the attacks done by the Quick Draw are close range and can reach no longer than the point of a short sword.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Water bender she may be she has the perseverance, stubbornness, and determination of any earthbender. Shes spent a great deal of her life relying on her ability to perform violence to stay safe and make a living and she has yet to see much of a reason abandon that path, though she sometimes questions if she made the right choice she rarely takes careful looks back, more interested in carefully looking forward to her next step. She tends to be shockingly gentle and polite with her friends, perhaps because such a large portion of her life and lively hood was devoted to combat for profit she takes comfort in the moments she is not that hardened warrior of fortune. She has also found a unique love for the fashions of the big city, often spending a great deal of money on them. She isn't fond of her water tribe heritage, and doesn't like being refereed to as someone of the water tribe. At the end of the day Shi would be best described as strong willed. She is who she is, and she won't let anyone talk down to her. She is a fighter, she is a friend, she likes to dress up from time to time. She is driven like a powerful river that cuts through the earth and hills rather than curving around them, that will one day form a mighty canyon. <br><br><strong>History</strong>: Shi was born from the union of an Earth Kingdom woman in a medium sized coastal village along the Earth Kingdom coast line. Her father was a Water Nation Merchant who's travel route took him by the village rather often where he took to spending his time with her mother, romancing and supporting her. When she sent word to him that she was pregnant with their child he stopped coming around. A bit of digging showed that Not only did he have a girl in almost every village he stopped by for trade, he had a wife back at home in the water tribe. This news crushed her mother and robbed much of the energy from her life. She was never a bad mother to young Shi, but she never did a good job at taking care of herself and it didn't take long for her daughter to see and comprehend what her water tribe father had done to her out of cruel selfishness.&nbsp; She quickly grew to hate the father that her mother still loved with all her broken heart and this was sort of an issue for her self esteem for a while. Shi took greatly after her father in appearance, looking as water tribe as anyone would expect. She often stuck out like a sore thumb among the deep Earth Kingdom village and it made her an easy target for bullies and the like. That was how she ended up discovering that she was a water bender as well while defending herself from the bullies. She had been perfectly content to never practice it and let the further reminder of her way ward father wither and die away with time but her mother encouraged her to practice it and found teachers when she could. Shi grew mostly self taught, learning water bending from the guards who served on the merchant vessels that came through town.&nbsp; As she grew older and more talented in the ways of fighting and bending she found it was her most likely way to put money in her pocket and food on the table, taking various jobs that required the firm touch of violence for pay to support herself and her mother. When her mother's health began to fail she took to working with local gangs they payed much more than the up and up work and they tended to have more steady jobs for her. While she was careful enough that the law never got anything to pin on her she made a fair share of enemies in that line of work over the yaers. <br><br>Eventually her mother passed away due to complications and her lack of self care.&nbsp; Shi mourned the loss but could not stay in the village she grew up not with the prejudice from the villagers and the enemies she had made wile working for gangs. She decided to move to republic city, spending a great deal of the money she had saved to make the move over, but she found it ultimately worth it. She couldn't have stayed back in that small, highly traditional Earth Kingdom town as the lone water bender girl. Here she wasn't so out of place, where the members of various nations&nbsp; mixed rather openly it wasn't so uncommon to find people of multiple ancestor. It was a new place, with very different ideals, and where she didn't have to be the person she once was. <br><br>Oh sure, she still makes her living on her fighting skills and bending, but she does everything on the up and up! Honest! Her primary gig at the moment is a bouncer at a local dive. Water benders make for good bouncers given they can more easily subdue people with water and ice rather than burn the place down or smash half the tables with a rock. Plus the honer lets her rent the living space above the bar for dirt cheep. She does occasional side muscle jobs here and there, serving as a body guard and other such jobs. Her favorite side job is subtitle pro bender, she has yet to find a permeate team but she has a couple she subs in on when their water bender is out of commission. She hope to find a team that will take her full time or form one her self.<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong>: Shi Yong (http://safebooru.org//samples/1304/sample_077ba9cd3b6c5277416527796d8eb0c313f43f84.jpg?1357735) tends to wear clothing of Earth Kingdom colors and design, more proud of her mothers heritage than her fathers, she often has two water skins on her right side and her metal flask for quick draw on her left.<br>
