Name: Jinzai
Age: 29
Tribe: Earth Kingdom
Description: She has long flowing black hair, wears a mask made of unknown alloys, as well as the Guilds' uniform with an emblem a??brown knife.
Info: An enigma in the Guild, Jinzai is also very dangerous, as anyone confronting her met with unfortunate and serious injuries. Manipulative and mysterious, one wonders whether she's really interested in killing the Avatar or not...
Abilities: She could create golems out of will, using them like puppets and could also form earthquakes. She uses her knife like a boomerang, as well as a homming device on her opponents.
Notes: She wears the mask due to a hideous scar on her entire face.

Name: "The Wanderer"
Age: 110
Tribe: Air Nomad
Description: He has grey eyes, a white goatee, wears ragged, grey??clothes and worn-out sandals.
Info: "The Wanderer", as his name suggest, has been roaming the world for most of his life, in hopes he could confront the Avatar. He also happens to be one of the few Airbenders to escape from the Fire Nation's clutches during their invasion on the Air Temples. During those years, he roams all over the world, searching for Aang and helping others at the same time. Once he finds the Avatar, he gives out cryptic information about the war itself...
Abilities: During his younger days, he has airbending skills that moves more like water. In his current state, he could create massive tornados and hurricanes.
Notes: It is him who learns the true enemy that Aang will have to face in his adventure.

Name: Kumi

Age: 15

Tribe: Fire Nation

Description: Slender, long, straight black hair; dark brown eyes and ivory skin; wears knee-length girl's dresses in addition to the black boots and Fire Nation armor she took before she left home.

Info: Kumi was born into a family of well reputation and money in the Fire Nation, and was preparing to become the kind of woman she was expected to be, whether she wanted to or not. When she was 12, a riot took place in the streets near her home. She watched from her window as dozens of innocent people were killed. About a year afterwards, she made up her mind to leave - the riot was caused by the ongoing war, and she didn't want to sit there and watch as more people died. Kumi hasn't found a 'purpose' in her new life, traveling alone, but hopes one day she'll be able to help somehow in ending the war.

She is positive and optimistic, bringing joy to many of the people she's encountered, but keeps everything inside. Rather then risk hurting someone, she puts on a naive facade and pretends to be younger than she is. She doesn't make eye contact with many people because she fears something in her eyes may reveal the mask she wears.

Abilities: Kumi knows enough firebending for some self-defense, and is a skilled archer. She ignites her arrows on fire before shooting. Other than that, she is good at sweet-talking what she needs out of people.

Notes: The last town Kumi stayed at was all ruffled up when she arrived, because of the recent visit from the banished prince of the Fire Nation. The townsfolk were quite upset, so she had to hide her Fire Nation armor before finding a place to stay.

Name: Katori Chiyukawa (I think it translates to "songbird (Katori)" and "healing river (Chiyukawa)" from Japanese)

Age: 15

Tribe: Southern Water Tribe

Description: long jet-black hair in odango-pigtails tied with red ribbons, blue eyes, about 5'5", a light blue white-lined dress robe (with a white sapphire-buckled belt), indigo leggings, gray shoes, an indigo ribbon-choker with a sapphire pendant, and dangle pearl-with-sapphire-crescent-moons earrings

Info: She was kidnapped from her Water Tribe when she was 5 years old??and was forced to work as a servant girl at the Fire Nation palace. She and Prince Zuko became friends. On the same night Prince Zuko's mother disappeared, Katori disappeared as well. Now that Zuko is disowned and in exile, they unexpectedly reunite in an Earth Kingdom marketplace. Katori takes him back to her home and he reunites with his mother, whom is sharing the home with Katori, Katori's younger sister Ameko (both of their parents were killed in??the war), and a family of earthbenders (parents and one son). Katori persuades Zuko to stay with them, and they both set out together to find Iroh and bring him back as well. (That's all I'm giving you people, but it's NOT the end!!!)

Abilities: waterbending, healing, scrying (seeing random psychic visions in a body of water), martial arts, gymnastics, and swimming

Notes: you can see a drawing I made of her??(depicts her currently and as a child) here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33862567/

What, this is back? Convenience!

Name: Tolvaj

Age: oh... 23? Neh.

Tribe: Former Earth Kingdom, current independent.

Description: Red fur vest (evidently made out of a rare animal), unnecessarily flashy medallion, black undershirt, light skin, very light brown hair cut into a short mohawk, green eyes, forearm guards terminating into heay bricks covering the knuckles (He claims one is made of iron and the other one is steel, but this is neither verified nor important.)

Info: Taken into slavery at a young age??when the Fire Nation attacked his town (ain't that always the way?) Tolvaj bought his freedom when he uncovered a sizable conspiracy to assassinate Ozai. Whatever institute within the fire nation that would deal with traitors and conspirateurs awarded him his Master's fortune and he was a recognized FN citizen, though he had no intention of staying. He smuggled himself back into the Earth Kingdom and sought out great fighters, using his wealth to pay for lessons. En route to one such man, he was waylaid by bandits and brutally injured two of them. The rest of the group, more impressed than angry, extended an invitation of partnership to him. Young, angry, and violent, Tolvaj took to banditry quick and assumed control of his group within the year. With an ever-increasing desire for power and control, Tolvaj expanded operations, constructed his own city ( Big Khazar)??and today (well, not today, but as of the present time of the story.) his group of thugs have become an elite group of smugglers, scavengers, spies and assassins, trading "everything to everyone" as he says. Tolvaj is an abrasive, often absurd person with a cynical outlook on people as a whole, though he ironically trusts his own underhanded cutthroat bandits in the utmost. He finds criminal actions the quickest, easiest, and funnest way to get things done, and seems completely aware of his various faults- but doesn't particularly care.

Abilities: Tol is an above-average hand to hand fighter whose style resembles western boxing, just to be different, but he relies more on the damage done by his forearm guards and dirty tricks than actual skill. Also carries around an unhealthy amount of explosives.

Notes: Often subconsciously sings an old song used by some fire nation slaves ("16 tons" is a good basis.) Has sided with Aang in the approaching conflict, intends to conquer the Fire Nation (and in his mind, get real respect from the world) during the vacuum presumably left by Ozai's death.

Wow... Whenever I have to write down everything instead of just mulling it over in my head, I'm amazed at how stupid it is. Tolvaj, in case anyone's interested (you're not) is Hungarian (my family originated in Hungary) for thief. According to the internet, anyway.

Name: Gweh??

Age: 12 1/2

Tribe: Earth

Info: He found a massive geode when he was young. he hid it underground with his earthbending. when his town is in danger, he bends a suit of armor with this crystal, and saves the day, een though nobody knows it. He is a street urchin, and Toph was the first one who saw past thet (figuratively, of course)

Abilities: making weapons with this crystal, such as:

Broadswords

Knives

Claw-like items, etc

Notes: Has a crush on Toph

Nice ideas you guys have. Here's one of mine:

Name: Tahna
Age: 17
Tribe: Earth Kingdom
Description: Female, white-skinned, long dark-green hair, silver eyes, very beautiful. Commonly wears a greenish-blue??Earth Kingdom elite soldier's??armor, tailored for her needs (not as protective as heavy armor, but allows more mobility). Commonly wears a helmet with an exposed face.
Info: Tahna is a member of the Earth Kingdom's elite soldiers, who are trained from a very young age in the arts of warfare. Tahna, along with many other children, were taken from their families at a young age to be placed??into the army??as elites.??The training was ruthless, however, and very few who were picked survived the process (even fewer survived with their sanity). Tahna was sent to the battlefront at the age of 13, where she fought not for her nation, but for her survival. Her skill in combat is astonishing, however, due to her training and a seemingly inate fighting talent. She has no love of war, however, and does not wish for it to continue any longer. She values her life, however, and does not want to die in battle, so she continues to fight so that she may survive.

At the age of 17, Tahna??is involved in a battle against a Fire Nation platoon, where the??company she was assigned to is wiped out. Tahna, the only survivor, attempts to flee, being outnumbered, and incidentally runs into the banished Prince Zuko, who has also been caught in the battle. Because the two had a common enemy, Tahna helps Zuko fight off the Fire Nation troops. Once the battle has ended, however, Tahna turns her attention toward Zuko, who she perceives as a threat. Though she fights valiantly, Zuko bests her and knocks her unconcious. Taking pity on her, Zuko brings her to his camp, where she wakes up as his prisoner. The two exchange words and questions, and eventually Tahna starts to trust the prince, finding him far different from other Firebenders. Starting to trust her as well, Zuko releases Tahna. She asks Zuko to accompany her back to an Earth Kingdom outpost, so that she may repay him properly for his help. The deal goes badly, however; when the two arrive at the camp, the soldiers brand Tahna a traitor for helping a Firebender, and attempt to kill them. Zuko and Tahna barely escape with their lives, dealing with most of the Earth Kingdom soldiers in the process. After their escape, Tahna offers to assist Zuko in his travels, since she cannot return to the Earth Kingdom and has nowhere else to go. Zuko allows her to stay of her own accord, which suits her fine.
Abilities: Extremely skilled in??melee combat, but is most skilled with a spear or lance. Also very skilled with a shield. Appears to exhibit superior strength and agility.
Notes: As Tahna continues her travels with Zuko, she starts to become romantically interested in him (though she tries to hide it). She knows little of ettiquite and is a terrible cook (although she is a skilled hunter).

There, that took a bit. Any comments?

Well, you can feel free to validate my pathetic existence. (i joke, i joke, i kid, i kid.)

at any rate, i'd say don't worry about bumping, this topic always bounces back.
