Changes and Disasters

[Myth of Truth]

Okay, so, first RP here, so I'm just gonna jump right into it by saying that anyone can join, but you've got to put up a halfway-decent profile thingy and I'd like it if you tried to post often. If you can't, that's fine. Mainly making this for inspiration for a fanfic I'm trying to write. Once I'm done I'll let you guys know, and ask permission to use your charries.

Story

It has been twenty years since the death of the legendary Avatar Aang-- a century and a half since the end of the Great War between the Fire Nation and the other nations. It is mostly peaceful, the Fire Nation having repaid its debts to the world, and most people were now friendly with all of the nations, including the newly-revived Airbenders. But something has gone wrong. The new Avatar has not been revealed, and the number of benders being born has depleted majorly since Aang's death. Some are worried there might never be a new Avatar, and that the world will fall into chaos and disorder. Others, however, are happy that there is no longer a higher authority over even the leaders of the four nations-- primarily warriors. A new order has arisen-- the Uprising, whose sole targets are benders and pro-bending warriors and commoners. Benders and the others who help them are being hunted to extinction. There are only around three hundred assorted kinds of benders left in the Earth Kingdom, and they have taken refuge in the Crystal Catacombs of Ba Sing Se, along with two hundred assorted warriors. Some of the teenage refugees have signed up for a mission that lets them and a few others go out into the world and pretend to be commoners, all for one goal: to defeat the feared Li Dao, the leader of the Uprising. But it will be a difficult task. Li Dao has most of the world on his side. But, then again, that never stopped others, did it?


Below is a list of characters. If you want to be one of these, just post your profile and I'll add your name. Of course, original characters are welcome as well.

Detailed list, but there you have it. Of course, obey all AP rules. NO EXTREMELY GRAPHIC/MATURE CONTENT, PLEASE. And, also, two characters per person. Just to keep it fair, kay? ^^ Here's the profile:

Name: (don't have it like Jane or Ashley; something in the Avatarverse)
Age:
Gender:
Bending/Warrior Skill: (if any)
Appearance: (pic or description)
History: (keep it short and to the point, but not one line)
Pets: (once again, if any)
Weapons: (for warriors and benders)
Rank: (Upriser, refugee, commoner)

Hmm, this looks like it could be fun. One question, though: are we allowed to be benders from any nation or just the Earth Kingdom?

[Myth of Truth]

Oh, sorry for not clearing that up. You can be any type of bender-- the Earth Kingdom seems to me like the place people from around the world would go to, especially to Ba Sing Se. And many types of benders happened to get trapped there. So, yeah, you can be a Firebender or Waterbender or Airbender as well. Sorry. ^^

[Marik]

Ah, thanks. Well, I'm assuming that we are supposed to post our character profiles here, so...:

Name: Azure
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Nationality: Fire Nation
Bending: Fire
Other Skills: She inherited her mother's intimidating presence which she often uses to her advantage
Appearance: Her features are almost identical to her mother's; strong, angular facial features, raven black hair, striking amber colored eyes. Azure bears herself as though she were royalty, which is fitting as she is the niece of the Firelord.
Weapons: None, though she is very skilled with a naginata and broadsword.
Rank: Upriser

History: After her humiliating defeat under Sozin's Comet, it was thought that Princess Azula was merely exiled from the Fire Nation and then lived out her life in crazed anonymity. This, however could not be farther from the truth. The shamed princess did leave the Fire Nation, but she managed to regain a measure of her sanity and soon found a lover. She bore a daughter, named Azure, and began to train her to be the greatest firebender in all of history.

[Tera253]

this sounds like fun. ^^

Name: Sanaki Nihil
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Nationality: Unknown; presumably Fire Nation
Bending: Fire
Other Skills: Sanaki's notoriously cunning and clever, and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She is also blind, but uses her firebending much like a "heat-sense". low temperatures are her weakness as a result.
Strengths: Sanaki is skilled at nearly anything she puts her hand to, including bending. she also has absurdly swift reflexes and is very fast.
Weaknesses: she lacks power, and her body is not very durable. therefore, she can't take very many hits before dropping. Moreover, cold temperatures almost completely disable her, and damaging her hands or feet will hinder her "sight"
Appearance: Sanaki is dressed in Fire Nation finery, her long, wavy black hair flowing down to halfway down her thighs. her skin is very pale, and the makeup she wears only makes her seem more indimidating. her glazed eyes only add to the "creepiness factor"
Weapons: a pair swords with a dragon's head carved out of the hilt.
Rank: TBA

History: [based off of an AU version of the original Sanaki I once made]
Sanaki's family was cruel and heartless, and they raised their daughters the same way. Sanaki was the younger of a set of twins, but both of them--along with their parents, were conspirators that had been conning and murdering their wayt up the ranks of the Fire NAtion. Sanaki was notoriously good at this, her seduyctive beauty, cunning mind and prodigous skill helping her overcome her problems. On her 17th birthday, she slew her parents and older twin sister, taking over the household and blaming it on 'assassins'.
Over the next few years, Sanaki secretly became an assassin as well, and that was what she did for a living.
She has yet to be caught.



Anything here that violates the rules I'll be glad to change.

Gonna see if this picks up

[The Doctor]

This is my first RPG on this site. I made one recently but no one yet. I've done a lot of RPGs before, and i think this'll be fun!
Name: Oren Taisho
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Bending/Warrior Skill: Fire bender. uses brute force, rather like and earthbender. extremely strong, yet controlled firebending
Appearance: rather tall, very muscular build, golden eyes, bald head
History: He was born as a bender on the streets, abandoned by all. He was almost killed as a boy by early Uprising teenagers who decided to beat him when they saw him firebending. He was then nursed back to health by a mysterious stranger who always wore a mask that he never took off. This stranger then trained him in the ways of firebending. Oren believes that it may have been a dragon spirit teaching him the ways of true firebending. One day when he was a teenager, the stranger vanished, never to be seen by him again. He became angry and frustrated, taking out his anger on the boys who tried to kill him before. He killed one of the boys, leaving another boy maimed and the last one scared to insanity. No one knows what he actually did to them. He then traveled to a mountain for five years, where he meditated. Then he traveled to Ba Sing Se, leaving his past behind him.
Personality: He is very calming and wise, for he has meditated for a long time. He can control his emotions well, and he doesn't speak of his past.
Rank: Commoner- bender hiding among commoners
