This sounds awesome! Weeeeeeee! Name: Hyana Kino (HI-ana KEE-no) Gender: Female Age: 17 (going on 18) Nation: Earth Kingdom/ EK Bender/Weapon(s): Yes; Her Weapons are long-range objects such as bows and arrows Appearance: Hyana is 5’ 6” and muscular from work. Her eyes are a deep gray, and her hair is very long and brownish-blonde. Hyana’s outfits vary from day-to-day, but she’s usually wearing earrings, a necklace, leather knee-high boots, and a mint/sea green and black sleeveless dress ((usually ankle-length or knee-length and made of canvas)), with a matching ribbon or scarf tied around her arm, leg, or head. She likes putting her hair into long pigtails, buns, and ponytails, or sometimes she just leaves it hanging. She has scars running up and down her arms from fire. Hyana always carries a black backpack and she recently received a bow and arrows. Personality: Hyana is very sweet and nice. She is extremely calm in the face of possible death. Her temper is short, but she doesn’t stay angry for long. Hyana tries not to cry, but most of the time she can’t help it. She hopes to conceal this by being tough, but it doesn’t change the fact that she needs a friend. She can rely on herself most of the time, though. Note(s): I’m trying to make this less Mary Sue-ish then my other OCs. I’ll accept constructive criticism, but remember: I’ve worked very hard on this, so there are some things that simply cannot be changed. Also, I’m very, very sorry that I didn’t go into more detail about Hyana’s childhood, but what can I say? It was NORMAL. And again, I’m so very sorry about my lack of wordiness. I didn’t have any inspiration, though! I know that the history sounds pretty cruddy. Ah well, more stuff to fix then abandon! Good for us. But don’t let me hold you up: Read on! History: Hyana Kino was born on May 4 to Mink and Jiang Kino, in the village of Ten-Shii. Hyana was a happy child who loved to play with Earthbending with her brother, Kuan. Her family was well off, so they could afford their children’s desires to attend school, learn from a dojo about weapons, and enroll in Earthbending classes. Hyana loved to sketch and write about things she thought were impossible or unreal, like spirits and the Avatar. Kuan, however, was the exact opposite. He liked roughing around in the mud, hated school, and he was often seen trying to persuade his sister to play pranks or practice throwing knives with him. Hyana’s father Jiang was a blacksmith, so you could often see his children in his shop, examining him as he made swords, knives, and an array of other metal things. Jiang liked to take his children camping trips to observe nature. Hyana’s mother Mink, on the other hand, worked at a bakery making pastries and cakes. She liked to take her children to the sea. All in all, Hyana had a normal childhood. When Hyana was 17, she moved away from her home in Ten-Shii. In her village, it was a tradition for teenage girls to move to a new town in order to start a new profession and a new family. Hyana took the trip with her friend (who was a Waterbender) Mahoko, but she was still uneager to leave her hometown knowing that she couldn’t return for many months. It was two months before Hyana and Mahoko found a village of their liking. It was a small village named Inspiration Point, near the coast. Hyana and Mahoko bought a cottage there and learned the arts of painting and poetry. They were finally settled down in her new village when the worst happened. It was late in the daytime, around midday. Hyana was sitting in front of a second-story window, painting quietly, and Mahoko was lying on the couch behind her, writing haiku on a notepad. It was eerily quiet. Then, screams echoed down the streets below the window. Hyana looked through the window and saw red soldiers on rhinos parading down the streets, breaking into houses and dragging people out. She, too, screamed and she and Mahoko started (quickly) packing all their money and clothes into knapsacks. Then, together, they ran out the back door just as a soldier burst through their front door. Suddenly, Hyana felt hot tendrils of fire dragging her back towards the house. She panicked and screamed, and Mahoko somehow managed to Waterbend a shield between her and the soldier. The fire was cut off, and the friends continued running for their lives, first between houses, then through forests, until they stopped in another town two days later. They warned the town of the danger before heading off again. Hyana and Mahoko knew that they couldn’t stay in the towns to long, in case the Fire Nation would be on their tales. They stayed on the move for many months, until they had enough skills to survive in the wild. One day, a couple of months later, Mahoko boarded a ship going to the Northern Water Tribe. Since that day, Hyana has traveled non-stop, sometimes camping in forests, sometimes staying in towns and working odd jobs, but the same question flutters into her mind everyday: How the heck will she survive? And what became of her neighbors and town? She can only dream as her destiny unravels before her. ;D

I'd like to join, if I still can...
Name: Shiuma Age: 18 Alignment/Bending: Earth / rookie earthbender
Shiuma has lived his life in the middle ring of Ba-Sing-Se, as son of arather succesful merchant. His father was often away from home on business, even with the war going on, and not long ago his mother disappeared. The Dai-li would investigate the matter, but nothing has turned up so far. Shiuma now lives alone with the house-keeper, struggeling to make a living as a financial advisor, which he had often helped his father with.
Shiuma is a self-taught earthbender, but he never got really good at it. he always wanted to find a proper master to teach him, but with his parents' busy schedules and recent events, things never seemed to go that way...
Shiuma is calm and reserved, preferring order and tidyness if this can be achieved. but when provoked he has a fierce temper, and in dire situations he can be as ferocious and agressive as any firebender.

^^ I'll join! Even though my character is supposed to live in the fire nation, we can just say that she moved to the colonies.
Name: Lien
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Nation: Fire
Bender?: Yes, she bends fire. She has such a big passion for firebending, and she practices alot, therefore she is very skilled.
Appearance: Lien is quite thin, but not anorexic. She is tall for her age, being of 5 foot, 7 inches and weighs about 115 pounds with apricot colored skin. She has a normal sized face with amber colored eyes and carnation colored lips. Her hair is worn into two low pony tails that hang on her shoulders and she has a headband. The ribbon that is used to tie her low ponytails and her headband is a golden color. Lien wears a three quarter, taupe colored dress that is in a V-shape at the bottom,slit up to her waist, sleeves and neck. It is rimmed on the bottom, sleeves and neck too. The outermost part of the rim is a thin golden color, then has a thick rust colored rim after wards. Her pants are the same but, it doesn't have the the rimming and it goes to in the middle of her shin (baggy capris, in other words). On top, of her dress she wears an even thicker circular band which is also rimmed with a thin line of gold (both sides) and the rest is rust. Underneath Lien's dress she wears a short sleeve dress which has a high collar (also rimmed). Only the collar is seen. She wears gold bangles on her hands and feet. Lastly, she usually goes barefoot. For furthor more referance, look at these pictures:
-http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e227/AztecFool/jacky%20pix/lien001copy-1.jpg -http://aishwaryax33.deviantart.com/art/MeiYin-63967627
Personality: Lien, is a quiet, more peaceful person. She is a little emotional and very practical. As she doesn't like violence (as in hurting or killing people). She dreams big and is hopes that they shall be fulfilled. If they aren't then she gets quite stubborn. She also, has a passion for firebending. Most of the day, she either firebends of does the many chores/work that she required to do.
History: Lien was born in a firenation village, to a rather poor family which consisted of her mother, father, older sister, and older brother. In her childhood days, since she was poor, she had to either work in the fields farming with her father and brother or in the house with her mother and sister. There was usually not much time for fun and games. So she was brought up with a more serious attitude toward things and with a close relationship with her family (more to her siblings).
Once Lien was 5 years of age, her family had salvaged enough money to put her brother in classes to learn firebending so he could soon join the army. As soon as she heard, she was so eager and excited, for she wanted to learn firebending too. So she had asked father, but he disapproved. They had said that there was so much work to be done since now one more person was gone, they didn't have enough money to support the family and send her, and that it was not proper for a girl to learn firebending. Though at first her hopes were destroyed, she decided that she would learn firebending. So one day when her brother and she was alone, she asked if he could teach her what he had learned each day. At first he was hesitant, but after, a little more arguing and persistant bothering he finally gave in and taught her in secret.
Until she was 12, everything had gone well with her training. She was actually good at firebending and she had a deep passion for it. She kept up with her daily work and still had time for learning. But her brother was old enough to fight in the war, so he had to go. She was then devastated but, her brother then assured her that she would be fine and could still continue her training. She had learn all the basics. Now she just had to put together the moves. So after he left she continued her training.
One day when she was still 12, her father was forced to fight into the war too. After the fire nation had heard the her brother was fighting, the thought it was also nessicary for her father too fight too. He was sent to a camp where he learned fire bending and weponary.
After Lien's father's departure, she was given the job to do the field work. While doing this she gained more strength and she didn't have much time to do fire bending. She gave it up for a while.
Every few weeks or so, Lien's brother and/or father would send a letter from the war front. She eagerly waited for them. They would describe the scene, the setting, the warriors, the strategys they would use, basically everything. After reading many of the letters she had a deep hatred for the war. Since most of her childhood was peaceful, she wasn't used to all the violence. She wasn't emotionally used to this. She was scared of what could happen to her father and brother. She didn't care who won. She just wanted it over.
When Lien was 14, her sister had goten engaged. Most of her families money was wasted on the wedding.
After the wedding was over, it was only her mom and herself living in their house. Again, she asked if she could learn firebending. Her mother actually approved with only one exception, that she had to work and pay for the fees. Lien was so thrilled that she got a job in the city and quickly started earning money. She soon took a class and started to learn firebending.
Right now, Lien is still continuing her firebending lessons. She is very skilled and is almost "close" to mastering. She also, is somewhat happy that the war is ending, but now is questioning why it had started in the first place.

Hello, I would like to join also since the RP hasn't started yet.
Name: Shinju
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Bending Style: Earth
Appearance: She has very long, waist length black hair that is usually worn in a simple braid. Her face is attractive but she would not call herself beautiful. She has dark brown eyes that grow slightly green in the sunlight. Shinju is not much for looking your best and so wears clothes that are slightly loose on her very slim frame. She has a brown shirt that is long for her and that has a darker brown lining. She also wears long pants that are the same dark brown as the lining on her shirt. Though most people who earthbend go barefoot, Shinju wears a pair of comfortable and simple brown sandals that are strapped onto her feet with ties.
Items: Shinju carries with her a small shoulder bag that is a dark forest green. Besides an extra pair of clothes and simple provisions, she carries a painting of a mountain through which runs a large rushing river and also several smooth, round rocks that she is continually holding. She uses them to throw at enemies or for hunting. A very special item to her is an oval shaped piece of jade, perfectly rounded that fits snugly in her hand. This was given to her by her dearest friend before he left for the war. A notebook, some brushes, and a candle or two can also be found in her bag.
Weapons: She owns a bow and several arrows but she is not an excellent archer, relying more on her earthbending than on regular weapons. She also carries a small knife.
Personality: 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.
Bio: 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, Ba Sing Se. 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 for two years. She made her way through by singing and earning money from it while also advancing her skilled drawing and painting abilities. She then returned to Ba Sing Se, the city where she and Taka had both trained. Eager to be back, she was a little apprehensive about learning the fate of her old friend, and even more so when she could not find anyone who had seen him in the city. It wasn’t but a week later that the Ba Sing Se was captured by the Fire Nation. Luckily, Shinju was unharmed and took up residence with a local shopkeeper. She still continues the search for her friend.
If it's alright with Horyo, I will start if fizzywig doesn't sign back in. (by the way Horyo, long time no speak. Hello!)
