Name:Hyriku Nikamuro(Riku for short)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Nation: Earth
Bender?: Yes. He is not a master by any means, but his bending style is best described as very artistic as he can use his fingers to draw pictures or write on solid rock. His main specialty is creating sink holes by bending the earth under it's surface to where the ground looks unchanged but as soon as someone or something treads over it, they find themselves in a deep hole.
Appearance: Has somewhat long, dark brown hair which comes down a few inches past his cheeks, light brown skin about the same color as Aang's except a little darker, hazel-green eyes and a small scar on his neck he got from a confrontation with a firebender. He stands about 5'11" and has a solid stance and very good posture. He wears a small gold loop earing in his left ear, a silver bracelett on his right wrist with Joo Dee engraved on it, and a small, silver chain necklace.
His skin is tough and rugged from spending countless day at a time outside in the woods. And though he always tries to wear a smile, you can see a looming sadness and a presence of grief in his eyes.
Clothing: He wears old clothes that have seen better days. His pants are a light brown color with green lining and a light tan shirt with short sleeves. He wears brown sandles and has brown gloves he wears when it's cold.
Weapons: He carries two katanas and a pair of small daggers.
Personality: Riku has a friendly, laid back attitude and always tries to keep a smile on his and everyone elses face, even though deep inside he has feelings of sorrow and regret from leaving behind the girl that he loved. He is very in tune with nature and is a good tracker when it comes to woodland areas and forests. Though he isn't as obnoxious as Sokka is alot of the time, he does like to keep his friends happy and entertained. He has a somewhat supersillious manner but is dead serious when the situation calls for it.
He is also very dependable and always does what is needed of him but likes to have fun doing it. For example if he and others are asked to gather fire wood, he likes to play a game to see who gather more wood the fastest.
And while he is an earthbander, and a talented one at that, he relies more on his swords for combat for he believes that all bending arts were meant to help and protect rather than to be used for violence, though if the situation demands it, he will use earthbending to fight or defend himself. And with these beliefs, alot of people say he should've been a water bender because he shares alot of the same characteristics as the Water Nation.
History: He was born and raised in Ba Sing Se and lived happily there almost all his life and was also a long time friend of the "real" Joo Dee, whom he secretly was in love with. Not only was he gifted in mastering the earthbending arts, but he was always eager to join the Earth King's elite guard, the Dai Lee. He practiced everyday when he wasn't helping his mom and sister in their flower shop and Long Feng saw great potential in him and was glad that he wanted to join the Dai Lee.
With Riku's ability to make traps by bending the earth under the surface, Long Feng's first though was how handy that would be in capturing a fugative. And with Riku's ability to sculpt solid rock, he saw great potential in him to become a weapon's smith, carving rocks into solid spear heads and sword blades. And with mastery in wielding two katanas, he also saw great ptential to become a deadly assassin.
When Riku reached the age of 17, he joined the Dai Lee and was trained by Long Feng himself. He served under him happily for over a year, but durring that time he questioned himself if this was what he really wanted because he came to realize that he didn't like using his powers for violence. But then, he and Joo Dee overheard Long Feng talking about keeping the war outside of Ba Sing Se a secret from the king. But then they were caught evesdropping and were chased by Dai Lee agents for hours before finally loosing them. Everytime one of the guards would get to close, Riku would create a sinkhole to stop them dead in their tracks.
Then after a while when he and Joo Dee were too tired to keep running, he held her in his arms and told her to hold her breath and created a sink hole and buried himself and Joo Dee under ground, creating a small pocket under the dirt so they could breath. After staying there for about 10 minutes, they resurfaced and the agent's were gone, looking blindly through out the rest of the huge city for their fugatives.
Now knowing what they knew, they both knew they had to leave the great city and head to Omashu to get help. Riku and Joo Dee split up to leave notes with their families to let them know they would be leaving and were supposed to meet back up outside the tea shop, but Joo Dee was caught and brainwashed and lead Long Feng to where Riku was waiting for her. But Riku barely escaped and fled the city. He made a promise in his heart that he would return to free Joo Dee and to turn her back into the girl that he loved.
After fleeing the city, by creating a sinkhole and running a tunnel beneath the surface til he was well beyond the city walls, Riku went to Omashu where his request for help was denied because his story seemed far fetched and unlikely. So knowing there was nothing he could do, he remained in Omashu for the next few years until he heard news about the Avatar having been in Omashu. He then left and went to search for him and spent the next two years living from day to mostly staying in the woods, but stopping by any small towns he came across for food and supplies. And though has had no luck finding the Avatar, mainly because he travels on an air bison, he is determined that he will find him and help him bring peace to not only Ba Sing Se, but the rest of the world too.
(Edit: By the way, I made up the story about Joo Dee because there isn't really no background to how all the brainwashed girls named Joo Dee came to be. So this is my way of explaining their origin. It had to start somewhere and it makes sence that it all started with an actual girl named Joo Dee.)
