This RP is about the refugees that left Omashu who decide to travel to Ba Xing Xe where they will be able to form a resistence against the Fire Nation. Since it is a pretty alrge group, I don't think having many people would be a problem...but I would like to ask the RP'ers to keep their posts up to date!
Well, I'll eventually start the RP when enough people sign up (at least 5 i think) and then our group can start moving foreward to the last Earth Kingdom stronghold!
Along the way, however, there should be many difficult obsactles, so it would be great if we could have a major leader or two (my character would not exactly qualify as a leader seeing as she is only 19).
Please, we should all know the RP rules by now: No Godmoding, no one-sentence posts, no really bad swearing please as a courtesy, and all that jazz. Also, I would like to ask that, if we must use cannon characters, that they are used in a tastful way.
Thank you and hope you think this RP will be a good idea! Come join!

I'd like to join.^^
Name: Luci Age: 13 Gender: Female Nation: Earth Kingdom Bender?:Yes Appearance: Luci has medium length black hair that is pulled back in a pony tail. She has loose bangs mostly to the left side of her face, down to her nose. She has brown eyes, and white/semi-tanned skin. Is about 5 “1”/5 “2”, and 110 pounds;is usually barefoot but you may occasionally find her wearing shoes as well. Has an olive-ish green outfit (dress/skirt ends above knees). Tan collar that closes the top. Sleeves are pretty large, and has baggy pants under dress/skirt thing that end at a little higher than the shin. Has a large brown belt on her waist, and the normal earthbender shackle things on her ankles and wrists. Personality: Luci is definitely a character. She can be very laid back and lazy (which she normally is). Well tempered, and has a very good sense of humor. She can still be a kid sometimes, finding amusement in the smallest and most simple things. She can also be extremely sarcastic, which sometimes annoys people. She very much enjoys earth bending, when doing this is when you will find her barefoot most of the time. Being barefoot makes her feel connected to the earth in a way. She also has a small problem with authority. History: Luci was born to a normal middle class family. She has a younger brother, and even younger sister. Her earthbending skills were discovered by the young age of 17 months. It was incredible to her family for she was the first earthbender since her great-great grandmother. At 5 she attented a small earthbending school, but was so talented that she graduated by the age of 8, whreas most did not until 10 or 11. She proceded to a more advanced school, and graduated from there at the age of 11. There were no more schools left in the area, at least, none that her family could afford to send her to. And all the ones that were affordable had nothing to teach her. With that she proceded to teach herself, create her own techniques, and did so very well. At the age of 12 she made the decision to leave home and travel the world. She brought along a small animal resembling a lynx. Now 13, she continues traveling, visiting other nations, and just exploring.
While traveling she came across schools, more advanced schools, and she joined. But quickly left after completing and almost mastering a few things that were not taght to her. She was extremely dissapointed, for she expected to learn complicated and very difficult techniques. She graduated from the school in less then 2 months; many of her teachers considered her to be an earthbending master already, but Luci was not satisfied. Which is why she continues teaching herself, and one of the reasons she travels.
Currently: Traveling to fine tune her skills with different varieties of Earth, is currently practicing with sand, and is having a little trouble.
(to be continued)
-gasp- this is my first RP ever. 0.0 I feel like a n00b.
EDIT: I changed my OC's outfit, because I came up with one that I liked better, and I found the old one was too similar to Toph's, and I didn't want it to. >.> (picture hopefully coming soon)

Do you think I could have the OC who is the leader person? Here's her info.
Name: Yoshitsune Age: 19 Gender: Female Nation: None Bender: Earth(master)
Personality: Yoshitsune is very kind, strong, and gracious. She enjoys helping whoever she can; she would even help someone from the Firenation if they had the right motives.
History: Yoshitsune came from a small, insignificant Earth Kingdom town near the Wang Shi Tang desert. She was raised to be peaceful, though she did teach herself how to fight with her bending. She has been traveling the globe alone, just trying to help whoever she can.
Appearance: Yoshitsune has a sporty build, and is about 5'9. Her hair is a very dark brown, and goes down to the lower part of her upper back. Her hair is also side parted, and she has messy bangs. She is somewhat pale for the skin color that most of her family has.(like Lee's skin color) She wears a dark green robe with light accents, which goes down to just past her knees. The sleeves of her robe are as long as Katara's, and she wears something like black under armour under it. She also has black baggy pants under her robe.
EDIT: I have changed the bending, history, and put more detail into the appearance of my character do to the new rules I have recently viewed posted by zukosfire5. I just don't want to get kicked out, so... yeah.

cougarwildclaw: good, I welcome you to the RP!
Jade: great bio, i'm sure that you will get the hang of this, everyone has to start as a noob!
Zukosgotheart: You can be a leader, but could you make her an earthbender? If you feel strongly about her being an airbender, you don't have t change it, but it would make more sense.
Thanks guys we chould start after another two or three people join!

History- Shira Hi is the daughter and neice of a nobleman.She's lived a perfect life,in the circus with her older cousin Ty Lee,who brought Shira-Hi wih her when she left,when Shira was about 3 or 4,her about to go for her second year at The Royal Fire Academy for Girls.Now 11,when Azula came to get Ty Lee,Shira begged with "Azula-Oneedono" for her to come with too,so Azula could help with her firebending skills,and so Shira-Hi could spend time with "Azula-Oneedono","Mai-Oneechan",and Ty Lee-Oneechan.Ty Lee helped ^^,asking her old-time friend if her "Shira Hi-Imoutochama(Chama- Ty Lee's way of calling Shira Hi "Chan" and "Sama" at the same time)could come.Azula finally gave in,and let Shira come.When the threesome went to get Mai,she screeched like the little girl she is,ran up and hugged Mai."Hiya Mai-Oneechan!!!"she yelled,Mai made a half smile for the small girl.With the second encounter with Aang and co.,when she,Ty Lee,and Mai fall into the river,she blushes at the sight of Aang again,and Ty Lee notices and laughs."What can you posiblly find so funny,this time,Ty Lee?"Mai asked,"Look at Shira-Imoutochama,you'll see!"Ty Lee kep giggling,while Shira's face turned red."So what,Ty Lee-Oneechan?You like the Water Tribe boy,I wouldn't be talking!!"Shira screamed,then ran off after Azula.She finally caught up,and was in time to fight.She looked at Aang,and then up at Azula..."Well,looks like I have some help!"Azula stated,which to Shira was the cue to start,"Who do I go after,Azula-Oneedono?"she asked,"Hmm...go after the two girls,I'll take my brother,The Avatar,and the Water Tribe boy.Got that?".Shira bowed and replied,"Yes,Azula-Oneedono."and ran after Toph and Katara,fire spears in her hands.Once inside a building,Shira put her hands up,the fire dissappered."Look!I don't wanna fight you guys!I just want to tell you something!Look,I know you guys have,and are,teaching the Avatar earth and waterbending.I can help him too,teaching him firebending.Really,I just wanna help!I swear on the fact that I'm a firebender."Shira told the girls.Toph "looked" up at Katara,then at Shira."How do we know you're not lying?"Toph asked."I told you.I swore on the fact that I am a firebender."Shira said,holding a flame in her hand. Currently- Traveling with Aang and co.,waiting for Toph to finish teaching him,so she can start,and self-training,as she had done before Azula began teaching her,and is now a master firebender. Is that ok?Is it okay if she's teaching Aang how to firebend?

omnigirl, Quick question, about how many people are you hoping to be in the group? You said it would be pretty large, but about how many do you think?

Kishiop: Um, like your bio but i really don't think the refugees will be running into the avatar on thier way to Ba Xing Xe. Do you think you could either make a new character or put her in Azula's group? That way. she can be in the RP!
Jade:not sure how big, we'll have non-RP people though but i think we'll just have to figure it out as we go along. Do you have a recomendation?
To the rest: we'll be starting in a day or so. keep checking in!

Nah, no recomendation^^ Just wondering, but I think a large group is a pretty cool idea, it adds to the story.

Um, omnigirl, I'd like to point out a few things since a few people joining seem to misunderstand^^;;
From what I understand, this is an RP about refugees who are currently in Omashu, or leaving, or have already left, depends on where we start. It is a pretty large group who are traveling to Ba Sing Se, to start a resistance. Most likely most of these people are either non benders, or earth benders, but I'm sure a few other benders can be thrown in there. We are most likely not going to be bumping into cannon characters, probably because this is just an OC rp, but I'm pretty sure we're going to be keeping the general plot of the show, like Aang is the only "known" airbender currently. Obvoiusly I guess a few rules can be bent, but that's up to omnigirl. Firebenders can obviously be a part because we need to be a resisitance against someone xD Or whatever.
So, I just needed to clear things up for everyone, and myself mostly. xD Hopefully thats right, and no one is as confused as I am right now. So, omnigirl, please feel free to tell me that I'm wrong in my conclusion, in any way.
Or that I've prettymuch summed it up. xD

@zukosgotheart: I'm going to overrule omni here, and I'm sorry omni, but there are no other air nomads left, it states that in the rules that can be found here: The RP Rules@omni: I'll be joining soon, but right now I've to get off, just lettting you know, I'll be most likely a non-bender. EDIT: nvm zukosgotheart, I couldn't find the rule. I could have sworn that there was something about it, o well, sry bout that DOUBLT EDIT: My charrie: Name: Rendai (no meaning that I know of) Gender: Male Age: 21 Nation: Earth Bender: No Weapons: Rendai uses two main weapons, a bow and arrow, and axes. He has both throwing axes and a large, and heavy, double bladed axe for close range. He is proficient with all of his weapons, but prefers to stay at a distance when he fights. He mostly carries the double bladed axe to chop trees and such in his way. Appearance: Rendai stands tall at 6'3 and has a wide muscular build. He has brown hair and eyes, which are a close color to his very tanned skin. He has a slightly square face, and a very powerful looking jaw bone. Even with his large body and powerful features he still has the look of a slightly lost child, his eyes always seeming to be focused on something just out of his sight. Personality: Rendai is the strong silent type. He prefers action over words and tries to give everyone the benifit of the doubt about their personalities and is a naturally trusting person. He is a good person and often goes out of his way to help others, which is how he ended up with the refugees. History: Rendai grew on a small farm about a days walk from the great city of Ba Sing Xe. His family lived on a small, self sufficient farm, where every one of his ten siblings and himself began working when they were six. He was the youngest of the children and when he was eleven his father became ill and died. His eldest brother and his wife took over the farm and took on the job of taking care of the family. Rendai always held his brother in the highest of respects and always did what he asked without question, without talking most of the time, which gave his other siblings the impression that he intelligent. For that reason, he often got the hardest, and most time consuming tasks to do, such as hunting and clearing feilds of the stumps of trees. It was through that work he became strong, and learned to use bow. As he grew older and his brothers children started to take over the farm Rendai's siblings began to go off on their own. Rendai was the last to stay on the farm, his other siblings had all left to find spouses by the time Rendai was sixteen. Finally when Rendai was eighteen his brother told him to go do something for himself. He gave him a bow of his own, and a quiver full of arrows, along with his double bladed axe. Rendai spent the next 3 years traveling across the Earth Kingdom, working for food and shelter. That travel eventually brought him to Omashu where he was asked to be a guide because he grew up near Ba Sing Xe. He accepted and has spent the last two weeks helping the people prepare for the long journey. @omni: rofl, I just realized that you didn't post a character profile

Oh, and I changed my characters outfit, just so everyone knows, I added an "edit" to the bottom of my post, but I wasn't too sure everyone would catch it since it's so high up.

@omni: rofl, I just realized that you didn't post a character profile Right, i posted it in the character intro. page thing, but here it is just in case.... Name: Shinju Age: 19 Appearance: Black hair, brown eyes. She wears a typical brown shirt that hangs slightly loose on her slim frame with green pants and light, brown sandals. Items: A small shoulder bag. Besides an extra pair of clothes and simple provisions, she carries a painting of a mountain through which runs a large rushing river. She just likes it because it calms her. Also several round, smooth rocks that she is continually holding. She uses them to throw at enemies or for hunting. A notebook, some brushes, and a candle or two can also be found in her bag. Bending Style: Earth Weapons: A bow and several arrows. She is not an excellent archer, relying more on her earthbending than on regular weapons. She also carries a small knife. Bio: Shinju is fairly quiet and serene. She hardly ever talks and only does so with good reason. She likes to solve problems in the most peaceful way possible and she loves to draw in the dirt. Her greatest talent is singing and she is constantly humming. Though not a great reader, she loves to paint and draw. She lived in a small village and so, when her earthbending became apparent, went to train with only one other child. This boy, named Taka, became Shinju’s best friend throughout their childhood. When they both turned sixteen, they decided to leave the village to advance their training at a larger Earth Kingdom city aka Omashu. However, after a year, Taka joined the military and left Shinju on her own. Not wanting to continue earthbending, Shinju left the city and traveled a great expanse of the Earth Kingdom. She made her way through by singing and earning money from it. She enventually returned to Omashu. Okay everyone, we are going to get this thing started.... Shinju surveyed the vast crowd of people, most of them packing up for the long journy to Ba Sing Se. Others had decided to go elsewhere in the Earth Kingdom, taking thier chances if they met up with the Fire Nation. Shinju sighed and began to fill her bag with her things. Almost no one had managed to get an ostrich-horse out of Omashu so only the heavyier items were being carried on makeshift carts that were attatched to the animals. She shung her black braid away from her face as she bent down to retrive a fallen item. A shadow fell over her and, looking up, she saw her uncle. Her brow furrowed. "Yes?" She questioned with an irritating glance. He grinned. "In the best interest of these people, I've assumed the position of the first leader." He said smugly. Shinju rolled her eyes. "Yes, whatever." She replied and swung her bag over her shoulder. Her uncle frowned. "Listen, we've disscussed it and have decided that the earthebnders will walk around the perimeter of pur group...just to be on the safe side. You'll be in the back." Shinju nodded, scaning the camp once again. When she said nothing to her uncle, he hesitated then walked away. She sighed quietly and then went to see if anyone needed help.
