[center][h2]The Raven Eagles[/h2] The Raven Eagles have been competing for two consecutive years now. Their trademark is that every member of the team wears goggles and Anana, Kimiko's raven eagle, flies around them when they're being introduced. #####[/center] [b]Name:[/b] Kimiko Tetsume [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Team:[/b] Raven Eagles [b]Role:[/b] Firebender [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Kimiko][img]http://data.whicdn.com/images/47939857/tumblr_mg09ni51iZ1s2p7e9o1_500_large.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Kimiko is feisty and confident. She's someone who knows what she wants, and will do everything that she can to get it. Her charm and wit can usually get things to flow her way, but if they fail, Kimiko can still rely on life-long friends she's made. They always have her back, just like she has theirs. She's undeniably loyal, even to the point of overlooking people's faults and defending them even if they're in the wrong. Kimiko is also a tad forgetful and flippant. Details never stay for too long in Kimiko's mind, which is why she always keeps a notebook with her where she'll write down important things. Kimiko's vigor also causes her to speak too fast for people to fully understand what she's saying, and she never stays still for too long, which can irritate the people around her. If you choose to harm any of the people Kimiko cares about, you must be prepared to face her wrath as she can be extremely ruthless and violent. Kimiko is a huge fan of birds and really wants to ride a flying bison one day. When fighting, she prioritizes agility over strength. She hates losing and can be pretty childish about it. She also hates bitter things. [b]Background:[/b] Kimiko was born to an average couple living in Ba Sing Se. Her father was a firebender working as a blacksmith in the city and her mother mostly stayed at home. When Kimiko was born, her family decided to move to Republic City thinking that they'd find better opportunities there. Her father got a job as an engineer for Future Industries and her mother set up a small clothes' shop in the ground floor of their new home. The Tetsume family isn't rich, but they hardly suffer from financial problems. Kimiko discovered that she was a firebender when she was five years old, around the time that her mother became pregnant with her younger brother. She began to train with her father, who happily showed her his moves whenever he got a break from work. Kimiko grew up training around the city, watching the other firebenders in the Pro-Bending Tournaments and attempting to mimic their styles. Since she was young, she always loved the game. When Kimiko reached the age of sixteen, she asked her parents to allow her to enter and they did, but the team she joined was weak and didn't last long in the tournament. She continued to hone her skills and created a new team with Kai and Xeno. She named their team the Raven Eagles, after her favourite species of bird. She has a pet Raven Eagle named Anana. ##### [b]Name:[/b] Inoue Kai [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Team:[/b] Raven Eagles [b]Role:[/b] Earthbender [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Kai] [img]http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/200/8/0/karneval_gareki_png_by_bloomsama-d6e5zlb.png[/img] [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Charming, free-spirited, energetic, naive, reckless, too trusting (will expand on this later) [b]Background:[/b] Born to two police officers in the Metalbending Police Force, Kai always wanted to follow in their paths. He was the youngest of four boys, and the only one born with bendiing abilities. His oldest brother resented him, and often bullied him as he grew up. This never stopped Kai from doing what he wants, though, and his other brothers always stood by his side. Despite all his training and willpower, Kai never learned how to metalbend which didn't qualify him for the police force. His parents comforted him, telling him that he was still young and that he would one day get the hang of it, but Kai knew then that being like his parents wasn't for him. Instead, he asked his older brothers for advice on what to do next and was told to try pro-bending. Kai loved it immediately. Kimiko was a good friend of his even before he was introduced to pro-bending. Joining her team had been an obvious decision. ##### [b]Name:[/b] Xeno [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Sex:[/b] Non-binary [b]Team:[/b] Raven Eagles [b]Role:[/b] Waterbender [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Xeno] [img]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/316/9/0/gumi_mangacolor_by_jennysunny-d4fwvov.png[/img] [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Xeno has a slightly dark aura around them. They're mysterious and aloof, which often garners the attention of others who gravitate towards them as they're curious about Xeno. Xeno is the epitome of an introvert. They're not that easy to approach, as Xeno doesn't like socializing with strangers until Kimiko or Kai say it's okay. Only Xeno's closest friends know the side of Xeno that is optimistic and happy. They are a lover of tall places and the freedom it gives. Xeno is also very strategic, opting to not do anything until necessary. As such, the Raven Eagles often rely on Xeno for pre-game tactics. [b]Background:[/b] Not much is known about Xeno's background as they don't really open up to people that much. What they've told Kimiko and Kai so far is that they're from a currently still uncharted land where bending was extremely rare and those who had that ability were worshipped by the natives. Xeno was regarded as a god there, and their family lived in prosperity. Xeno soon grew tired of their life in the island and left without another look back. The guilt of suddenly leaving still haunts them to this day but Xeno pushes the memories back. They came to Republic City after almost a year of travelling and learning about the world. Xeno sought to just be a nomad and wander around, but after discovering pro-bending, they decided to stay. It took a while, but Xeno opened up to Kimiko (after months of prodding) and joined the Raven Eagles. The game is a reminder of their time in the island where their bending was worshipped, but at least in Republic City, Xeno felt excitement.
