Avatar: Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Gang

Just fine.

Anyone else want to sign up? I'm starting tonight.

I think I'm probably going to join if you'll have me. I still need to write up the character sheet and stuff though. I'll see if I can get it done tonight or tomorrow.

You can join us.

Although we start the roleplay tonight, the story doesn't get rolling until a couple of days later. We can pretend your character was with us the whole time.

• Name: Hosu
• Age: 18
• Nation: Earth Kingdom
• Appearance: Hosu stands at six and a half feet of height and is built not unlike a brick wall. He lacks the usual physical grace of water benders. The only sign of his water tribe heritage is his blue eyes. He is clean shaven with his black hair cut short and without a topknot.
• Element: Water
  • Ice Constructs: Being raised in the Earth Kingdom and with his father unable to teach him bending, Hosu had to learn to apply Earthbending techniques to his waterbending. As such as the basis for this he's gotten quite adept at turning water into ice and shaping it into solids. It's gotten to the point that he's capable of shaping weapons out of ice, even if said weapons end up being incredibly brittle.
  • Ice Spheres: His default offensive option is to turn water into spherical rocklike chunks of ice and send them flying at his opponents.
• Skills
  • Sculpting: Hosu despite being young has a talent for art. He is quite the handy sculpture and while he prefers ice sculptures made with his bending he's capable of working with other materials as well.
  • Brawling: Hosu hasn't always had it easy and has gotten in more then his fair share of street fights, often without any water at hand. He's learned by experience how to fight without weapons or bending.
• Equipment: Hammer, chisel, and some other sculpting tools. A large gourd to carry water with. A small knife. Metal plated leather bracers.
• Backstory: Hosu is the son of a Southern Water tribe warrior and an Earth Kingdom potter. His father was crippled during combat with the Fire Nation and while his boat and crew were still alive and kicking he ended up being ditched in the Earth Kingdom due to being dead weight after his crippling injuries. He managed to romance a potter in a small Earth Kingdom town resulting in Hosu's birth.

• Personality: Hosu is very much a loud and boisterous fellow and doesn't tend to let much get him down for long. Long quiet bouts of introspection are not his forte. He is also prone to giving hugs and picking people up whether they want him to or not.
• Other info: Despite being both a waterbender and a pirate, Hosu can't actually swim.

Ok, so I took longer then I meant to doing this. Sorry.

You're right. We are roleplaying pirates! Arrrrr!!! Hosu is accepted. You can jump right into the roleplay now if you want.

Still willing to accept one more player, if anyone else wants to join. First in fir... I mean last serve.

• Name: Haile Selasie.
• Age: 19.
• Nation: Earth Kingdom, as far as he knows.
• Appearance: 5' 11" and skinny, dark-skinned, with short, curly black hair and a small beard, of which he is inordinately proud. Has very dark brown eyes. Usually dresses in an old, tattered, olive green military overcoat with a matching shirt and pair of shorts underneath.
• Element: N/A
• Skills:
  • Streetwise: After growing up on the streets of Omashu, Haile knows a thing or two about what it takes to survive in the city with only your wits and whatever other people throw out.
  • Thievery: Hey, a guy's gotta make money somehow! Haile was regarded as something of a magician back in the neighborhood he grew up in due to his pickpocketing talent.
  • Fighting Dirty: Haile's fighting style is combat pragmatism at its finest. Nut shots, sleeper holds, and tricking an opponent into hitting himself or someone else are a few of the dirty tricks that Haile employs during fights.
• Equipment: A set of punch daggers he looted from another street rat, a leather money pouch, some lockpicks.
• Backstory: Haile woke up one night in an alley in Omashu wrapped in the army overcoat he wears to this day with no memory of anything, except his age and that the overcoat was his father's. He was ten then. Since then, he became one of the many homeless kids on the streets of Omashu, picking pockets, stealing, anything in order to survive. Acting on a rumor he heard about the army starting to conscript homeless kids, he did a runner and ended up falling in with the Sea Dragon Gang. Even as he travels with the Sea Dragon Gang,he keeps a lookout for anyone he thinks might be his father.
• Personality: Haile is fun-loving, fast-talking, sarcastic, and generally fun to be around. However, he does have a calmer side, and tries to act as the group mediator when conversations go south. He'll also sometimes refer to himself jokingly as "Emperor Haile Selasie the First".
• Other: Haile's name isn't his real name. He picked it out of a book of mythology, after the king of a mythical land called Axum. He also loves to read. He'll read nearly any book, and taught himself to read soon after waking up in that alleyway. He's also a very heavy sleeper.

Fixed, and edited slightly.

Non-benders only get three skills to begin with. I suggest removing the "Nice Guy Haile" skill. I can understand the brief backstory due to the amnesia. Haile is accepted. You might want to jump in soon, since the story is now rolling.
