Hi, guys - me again.
So... I have an idea. I've talked with TGM about this already, but I wanted to clear it with all the other original (or more experienced with the story) RPers. She said she wanted a player for Senator Marus and, being the bored chick with next to no social life, I volunteered. But I don't feel I really know enough yet.
If no one else takes him up later, I might make a profile and get ya'll to okay it to play him, but right now I just have a crazy lady character that's in love with him. So! Character Application:
Name: Lei-Xia Age: 37 Gender: Female Nation: Earth Bender?: No
Appearance: Lei-Xia has long, dark brown hair that she normally keeps in a bun. Her eyes are big and green, framed with long lashes. She's got a womanly figure, and is a little on the tall side. Though she doesn't care overly much for her appearance, she likes well-made clothing. She normally wears a fitted, light-colored sort of smock over loose green leggings.
Personality: Her most defining trait is her obsessive love for Senator Marus (the Lady Une to his Treize if you know what I mean). While not of the soundest mind, she is a good strategist with a head for numbers. She's rather compulsive (exactly 56 rose petals in the bath water), but this really helps more than hinders, as she has a tendency to be quite efficient. Lei-Xia is soft-spoken and generally friendly, but if there is someone she perceives to be an enemy, she is absolutely ruthless. Killing is not a problem, so long as - in her opinion - it is absolutely necessary.
History: Lei-Xia grew up in Omashu with a father and an older brother (her mother left when she was about six). She had a typical childhood, though her peers were often unnerved by her intensity. Upon reaching adulthood, she gained the job of postmistress. She had an "army" of messengers and was to meticulous to a fault about making sure everthing ran smoothly. She never married and lived in Omashu until the Fire Nation occupation.
Not much is known about the time between then and her arrival in Lotus City, but upon settling down there she became immersed in politics. She got a post as secretary, where she formally met (they had briefly known each other on a trip of Marus' to Omashu) - and fell in love with - the senator.

Well, I didn't post his location in Lotus City because he currently has none. I meant to introduce him to the RPG with a scene of him wandering from the desert and reaching the Gates before collapsing in front of the guards. That way he would become part of the storyline and have a chance to bump into the current characters. Concerning his waterbending, it's currently inactive, but in times when he experiences physical harm or strong emotions like fear of anger he will realize his potential.

If he collapsed in front of the gards, they would probably take him to the jail, right? Or they might rush him to the doctors. So that would be his location.

I would go with the hospital, rather than the jail. But any option is OK in my book.

If you're going to do Senator Marus, just give a holler if you need any help or want to set up his encounter with Geming (my villainy charri). I can link you right to any highlighted moments of Geming from the first thread to get a better idea of his character...though being that Senator Marcus doesn't know Geming it's not that much a biggie, heheh. Lei-Xia sounds like a cool crazy-character.

master Pakku -- Your character sounds like an interesting addition. (and about the pic in your profile, it's perfectly ok to do. Just make sure, if you make other characters, to have a description along with it) About what Sakura said, it's more likely that they'd take him to the doctor, since it's a relatively peaceful city and they probably wouldn't arrest someone without a reason. You make want to check the previous pages of this thread, since there are two doctors that he could be taken to. (Huojin and Pao) Each specializes in a different type of medicine, so you should figure out which one you want your character to go to. 8leggdbutterfly-- It's alright by me. Your new character sounds fine too.

@dba: Thanks. I'll probably start posting in the Lotus City Camp with her soon. Atmos: Awesome! Thanks. I'm planning on getting Lei-Xia involved somehow, then posting the Senator Marus application. After that, I will definitely be ready to collaborate with you on an awesome Senator Marus - Geming encounter. ^_^

Hey, um, I was wondering if I could still join, or would you prefer me not to? *would still need to think up a bio and such*

Okay! Finally, finally, finally doing Senator Marus's profile.
If there's something I've missed or done wrong or anything like that, let me know and I'll change it. Thanks so much, guys, for letting me just barge in here - I mean, I only just started and I have three characters (if this one turns out all right).
Name: Marus Age: 43 Gender: Male Nation: Earth Bender?: Yes
Appearance: Marus is tall and of average build, with long legs and arms. He has some beard growth on his jaw; he feels (correctly) it makes him look more distinguished. His hair is a medium brown, worn shorter than the usual male Earth Kingdom style. His eyes are a deep, penetrating brown - usually cold, no matter how he smiles. He wears the Lotus City colors of gold and white, usually in very simple garments.
Personality: Marus is usually calm and collected, able to talk and reason intelligently when other men are sputtering and wild with rage. However, he does tend to bottle things up and occasionally bursts; this often causes trouble for him because he is, at his core, a rather exuberant, passionate person. He's incredibly intelligent and uses this to intimidate others. He has little compassion, and only cares for a very, very few people. He uses women; though he was engaged once, but it was for mercenary reasons and when her family lost their wealth he lost interest. He met one woman (Lei-Xia) on a trip to Omashu. Her cunning and mind for strategy captivated him. And whether or not he loves her, he is certainly willing to keep her around.
History: He was born in a small Earth Kingdom town, to a prosperous merchant and his beautiful wife. Marus was the middle child - he had an older sister and a younger brother. His brother was born prematurely and unfortunately did not have all his mental faculties. His mother stayed home to care for the boy, becoming wrapped up in his care. Marus was resentful of his brother, and was never close with either sibling.
Eager for more than a small-town life could give, he moved to Ba Sing Se when he was 15 to try to realize his ambitions. There were rumors he was involved in the creation of the brain washing system the city implemented, but nothing could ever be proven.
His father fought in the war, and the left side of his face was burned almost beyond repair. Angry at such callous treatment, Marus had his first - and only - instance of filial rage. With Princess Azula's infiltration of the Dai Le, a hatred of the fire nation blossomed in his heart, simmering and strong. He improved his earth bending skills, but, never one to get his hands dirty, never really got involved in the fight. A few quiet skirmishes, however... And the deaths of few, random firebenders passed under the radar.
Marus decided that takeover was possible, but the firenation was going about it quite the wrong way. He still dislikes them, and would willingly aid in a sort of extermination attempt.
Lotus City seemed to present another good opportunity. He worked his way up the political ladder, gaining the position of senator of the city's northwest quarter. A few rumors circulate that he's involved with a few unsavory circles, but again - nothing can be proven.
---
I hope that was okay... I shall take con-crit and run with it!

**HELLO FELLOW AFCFH MEMBERS**
I'm very sorry to inform that I cannot continue the RP AFCFH from here on. Long story short, being on my 4th year in college, I'm starting an inevitable transition and my freetime on the internet is only becoming more and more restricted, so therefore I cannot keep the commitment of continuing. Not only that, but I'll be retiring from my screenname Atmos, from here on as well.
By all means anyone can take over and manipulate my occuring characters how they see fit. I want to let you all know that I really had a fun experience throughout the whole duration of my participation. This RP will be particularly memorable because everyone in the group was just great and the effort we put into making the longest lasting RP (that's I've ever been in) is definitely something to be impressed of. Thank you all for sharing the experience. I only apologize more so for not informing the group sooner and hope the best for all in the rest of the days to come.
Eat, drink, and be merry. -Atmos
