Switching to the Northern Water Tribe will be fine as long as the character fits the culture. [s]Also, there was mention of the Southern Water Tribe not having benders:[/s]

[quote=Prince][s][b]The Southern Water Tribe[/b]
[i]Leader: Chief Kiroka[/i]
[u]The Southern Water Tribe has not given birth to a waterbender since Avatar Kiareu as Fire Lord Sozin had wiped them out.[/u] The tribe now exists as the largest commercial fish distributor in the world, but aside from that has no real notable traits. Few waterbenders in recent decades have came down in search of talent and to extend former waterbending culture, but most efforts have been fruitless as the Southern Water Tribe shares the prosperity of the Air and Fire Nation. The boats and fishing techniques of the Southern Water Tribe are always evolving and becoming more finely tuned. Remarkable advancements in technology have been made in the Southern Water Tribe, and a direct line of trade have made industry from the Fire Nation easily accessible to assist in the mutual trade.[/s][/quote]

Edit. I actually misread your post and thought you said "probably should have mentioned that. I just finished my character". Not too for sure how I mixed up those words. My bad. lol
