Hello everyone! This rping board is bascially for all benders of every nationality, but I would like to ask you all to bring in characters who can both bend and also non-benders....if you get my meaning. Here is a summary of what is going on.... Prince Zuko is now the Fire Lord, even though he offered the position to Lord Iroh. It has been only one year, but peace has been (somewhat) founded between the nations. He is currently holding a gracious feat in honor of the ending war. At the banquet, he has asked several Master Benders to sit by him at the head table as guests of honor. These guests include: Lord Iroh and Master Jeong Jeong of the Fire Nation. Master Pakku and Master Katara of the Water Tribes. King Bumi and Master Kohaku of the Earth Kingdom. Avatar Aang of the Air Nomads. Lord Zuko has asked them to the feast as a plan to bring peace and bending students that the Masters can (hopefully) educate in the future. He wants only to show that he cares for his country and for the nations that are in the world. Ok so that is basically it and one more thing, please don't make Zuko "fall in love" with your character because that is so mary-sueish. And your character shouldn't be a Master Bender either...although I feel I have no right to make it a "law". So, just have fun and forgive my double post...

Mizuki was attending the ball, although she had no idea why. It was mostly for benders and she was very sure she wasn't one. Being from the Earth Kingdom, she was wearing a very earthy looking dress that she had put on only a few hours earlier. She waved her brown colored fan, trying to suck in as much air as she could into her constricted lungs. Glancing around, she noticed her older brother, stuffing his face at the long table filled with food. She walked briskly over to him and smacked him on the back of the head with her fan. "Haruka, try to at least to not embaress our nation." She hissed. "We just ended a war."
Haruka coughed and glared at his younger sibling. "Calm down sister! Here try a Fire Nation roll." He took a big bite and his face turned a bright red. Mizuki smiled evily at him and straighted her long green dress. "I think I'll pass." She said waving her fan even more violently. She looked at the Lord of the Fire Nation. He didn't look at all like he was enjoying himself. Of course he wouldn't be! Look at him, he's dressed in black because of his father.
Earlier that year, Zuko had returned home and had challenged his father to a Angi Kai for the throne. He didn't kill Ozai, but he was too badly burned to live. Dressed all in black, the new Fire Lord looked more like he was attending a funeral than a party...

(OOC: yeah just wing it right here alright? I'm not sure about any other thread but if you really want one, tell me and i'll make a thread for the characters, but otherwise i won't and you just figure it out as you go along...pm me if you have any other questions...) (OOC: ok just write a short description for your character....here's mine: Mizuki, long brown hair worn in bun, green eyes, tanned skin, Earth Nation, no bending, pretty face, 16/ Haruka, 17, brown hair, green eyes)
Mizuki was just sitting on one of the many chairs lined up alongside the wall when one of the young Fire Nation men asked her to dance. She examined him quickly and noticed that he was a noble, maybe a rich Lord's son. She glanced at her brother who was still stuffing his face and answered, "Yes, of course." She folded her fan up and gracefully clasped his hand. They waited until a fast paced musical number to begin, then they took off, spinning over the floor, dancing smoothly through the other couples. She smiled at him and he grinned back as they raced through the steps. Then the song came to an end, too quickly. She bowed as did he, still holding her hand. His lips brushed against her fingers and he murmmered, "Thank you, beautiful, for this dance." Mizuki blushed slightly. She really didn't think she was that pretty. He smiled kindly and left to dance with another young woman. She sat down, breathing heavily and, taking out her fan again, waved it fiercly, trying to cool her cheeks. Haurka sat down on her other side, holding several more tidbits of food. "What'd I miss?" He asked, his mouth full.

Zen was in the middle of a crowd of young women spinning a knife between his fingers and telling them tales of his adventures, all overegagerated of course, but the women were hanging onto every word. He liked being the center of attetion. Just then he heard the one thing that he hated the most, his sisters voice making demands. "Zen, your going on after this song, at least look like your trying to get ready!"
"Ok, ok I'm going. Sorry ladies but I must be off." With that he strode toward the center of the dance floor just as the music died down. An announcement was made for everyone to clear the floor for a special performance by apprentices from the earth, fire, and water nations. Zen arrived at the center of the ball room floor just as the other aprentices did. They took their stances and prepared themselves.
They stood creating a triangle. All three created balls of their element and sent them toward the center. They circled each other for a few moments then rose up into the air spinning and getting slightly further apart until they were sitting above their masters heads. The musicians struck up a sudden lively tune and all three benders sent the balls flying toward the middle. They passed within inches of one another and as soon as they had gotten through the center became dragons. The dragons circled the room and then suddenly all rose into the air and then dove staight toward the center of the triangle they had started in. When they landed a great light appeared and the elemental dragons vanished. In their place stood three gifts to the new fire lord: a dagger from the fire nation that could be heated to slice through metal, a beautiful sculpture of ice from the water tribe, and a well crafted bead necklace from the earth nation.
Zen picked up the knife and presented it to the fire lord, from his master. The other gifts were given and then the music started up again and dancers filled the floor. Zen made his way to a table and ordered a drink.

Mizuki clapped loudly after the preformance. She always enjoyed watching earthbending but she didn't think she would ever be able to actually bend. Putting a hand to her waist, she took a deep breath. The dress she had on was really making it difficult for her to breath, and her mouth was dry from taking in too much air...or too little. She tapped her brother on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to get a drink. Try to get someone to dance with you and have fun Haruka, all you're doing is eating!" He glared at her but, reluctantly, put the food down.
Mizuki walked casually over the area where the drinks were. She asked for just plain water, and noticed one of the benders from the show. She smiled at him and sipped her drink. Then she watched the dancers for a while, just thinking about how wonderful it was, now that the war was finally over....

Kana walked into the ball during the performace. She noticed the Fire Lord, and wondered if he ever smiled. Kana was 15 yrs old, and old enough to marry, that's why she was sent to the ball. Lord Zuko was now the fire Lord, and he needed a wife, only in Kana appinone, she rather blow him of a huge mountain. After the war had ended she and the other airbender had gone back to the Nomads, but nothig was the same. She watched the dancers more, and thought they looked beautiful. "Would you like to dance?" said a young fire bender who looked around her age. Kana didn't like firebenders...but said yes anyway. "sure" she said as he led her unto the dance floor. "What's your name?" he asked her softly, "Kana" She answerd. "that's a beautful name. it means powerful, right?" he said "ya, how'd you know that?" Kana asked him. "I like knowing things like that." he anwered. "but your fire nation, why would you care?" Kana said, a little more harsh then she intended. "Sorry.." she started to say but he interuppted her. "don't be." he said "i don't blame you for being mad at the firenation" he sounded convinsing. "really..?" she asked. "ya" he said. But can I ask you why your so angry at the firenation?" he asked with a little uneasyness. "My parents and little borther were...were killed by the firenation..."

Mizuki noticed that her brother had fianlly got someone to dance with him. A young Earth Kingdom girl, most likely from Omashu. Most of the earthebnders here were. She felt a little out of place among them, but her mother had insisted. Her other sisters were all happily married and now it seemed to be her turn. How do you meet a suitor at a Fire Nation Ball? Besides, it's not like anyone else is looking to marry here. She sighed and set her drink down.

Zen set ordered a drink when his sister came up to him. "What are you doing sitting down, mother wanted us get to know people here and your just sitting there without a care in the world." "Fine, I'll go mingle." said Zen. He got up, grabbed his drink from the waiter, and started to look for people to talk to. He found a young girl, probably around his age just sitting at the bar. He walked up and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Zen. I hope you caught the performance."
OOC: the young girl at the bar would be Mizuki

Mizuki looked up as someone, the young man from the preformance, spoke. She smiled. "Yes, it was very good. I've always enjoyed watching bending." She said. "By the way, I'm Mizuki. Are you a student?"

Mizuki was suprised by this question. She blushed slightly remembering her mothers words about a suitor. "No. Well, yes in a way, but he doesn't seem to be enjoying himself does he?" She sighed and listened to the music, wathing he brother dance a little ungracefully with his partner. "I'm not an earthbender, but my mother wanted me to come. She thougt it would be...good for me." She waved her fan a few times then asked, "Which one is your master? I can hardly keep track of them all. I only really know Master Kohaku. He's come to our town once or twice."

"My master is actually Master Tenkei. She is the only firebending master I know of that teaches. She has quite a following, I think it is because still fairly young and unmarried." Zen chuckled to himself as he remembered a couple of the suitors who were shot down by his teacher. "I've met Master Kohaku once. He is an amazing guy. Without him I'm not sure peace would have been so easily found after the fall of Ozai." After a few moments he asked, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from a smaller town close to Omashu. Naoki, it is called. It's mostly farmland, but we live closer to town, my mother owns an herbal shop there." She waved her fan a few more times, breathing slowly so the dress did not suffocate her. Looking around, she noticed a group of young women whispering to themselves and staring at Zen. She raised an eyebrow and said to Zen, "I think someone...or more...might be looking for you." She jerked her head in their direction. She looked at him, laughing quietly. "You seem to be quite popular." She said.
