Name: Siku Juntenka Age: Sixteen Sex: Female Team: Viper Bats Role: Water-Bender Appearance: [hider=Siku][img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wsREm_YJd9g/UWACOtu3Z4I/AAAAAAAAAJM/tYZMbK8V3b0/s320/image.jpg[/img] She is very tall and lengthy. Her hair is also longer than that, but she normally keeps it up in a ponytail[/hider] Personality: Siku tends to be quiet during a match. She never responds to taunts. Even though she does not respond to them doesn’t mean that she doesn’t hears them. Siku tends to keep her anger bottled up inside rather than letting it out. She is very fun loving thought when she is not in a match. She tends to be very carefree and excited all the time. She is never quiet outside of a match. She has a weakness, though, towards fire because of her family history (reason why below). She never purposely steps over a boundary though, unless she is forced over it. Her main weapon of choice is the water whip, which seems to the do the job in a match very well. Siku isn’t a showoff, but she likes to add a little flare to whatever she is doing. She tends to be restless when she is not doing anything and likes to get into trouble at times. But she would never jeopardize her team. Whenever she is knocked into the water, she is always frustrated with herself and always tells herself that she needs to do better. If they lose a match, never talk to her. She gets furious and goes out to the ocean to train some more. Background: Siku grew up mostly in the northern water tribe. She was a very restless child, always getting into trouble whenever she could. She discovered that she was a water bender when she was seven years old. Her and one of her friends were running along the edge (like the very edge) of the outer wall when he suddenly slipped and fell off the side. There was nothing below but freezing water. She ran to the other side and screamed for help. He tumbled even further down and she mimicked something that she had seen some of the older water benders do. A small block of snow came out from within the wall and caught her friend just in time. After she discovered this new power, she began to train with the other water benders. When she was eight, only a year after beginning her training, her parents decided to move to Republic City for a better life. They packed up their things and left the tribe, heading for the emblem of freedom. They found a small apartment close to the pro bending arena and her and her father began to go to games frequently. This is how to she got into pro bending. She would watch the matches and then go out to the sea and try to copy the movements. One night, when she was thirteen, when she and her father were walking home from one of the matches, they were confronted by a tall, towering fire bender, who was obviously homeless or poor. He struck a very threatening pose and told them if they didn’t give him their money, then he would cut them down like the water tribe scum they were. Her father, being a proud man, refused and the man kept his word. As he was fighting the man, her father screamed at her to run, which she did. She ran to go get help, but there were no policemen around at the time. By the time she found someone though, it was too late. Her father was dead. She threw herself headlong into practicing her water bending, mimicking and perfecting each move that she had seen at the pro bending tournaments. She eventually told her mother that she was joining and that they needed the money. Her mother didn’t stop her and even promised to come to all of her matches. Now, she has joined a team with Ryko and Ryou. This is her first team and she hopes that they can do well, considering that they have been training together for two years. Name: Ryou and Ryko Kasaisekitan Age: Both 19 (Fraternal Twins, Ryou is older by a minute) Sex: Both Male Team: Viper Bats Role: Ryou is fire bender and Ryko is the earth bender Appearance: [hider=Ryou][img]http://oi47.tinypic.com/210bu49.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Ryko][img]https://p.gr-assets.com/540x540/fit/hostedimages/1379789012/517290.jpg[/img][/hider] Personality: [hider=Ryou]Ryou is more fun loving that his brother. He is fiery, like his fire bending powers, and he loves to pull pranks on his younger brother. He is fiercely loyal when it comes to his team and his family and he loves to argue with his brother. He likes to taunt during matches and tends to show off his powers like Siku does. Ryou is very accepting of Siku's fear of fear and tries not to fire bend to close to her. He has a very short fuse when it comes to anger and can switch quickly between happiness and anger.[/hider] [hider=Ryko]Ryko is a bit more stubborn than his brother is and a bit more hard headed, like his earth bending powers. He doesn't mind the pranks that his brother pulls, but he is always serious when it comes to matches. Like Siku, he is silent during the match and tries to stay focused rather than taunt the other team. He hates the taunting itself and if the other team begins to taunt him, he will knock the taunter off if he can. He has a short fuse, like his brother, and he hates it when his brother rubs it in his face that he's older. He is always the one who starts the fights with his brother, though.[/hider] Background: Ryou and Ryko were both born in Republic City to a fire bending father and an earth bending mother. They grew up in the city where their father worked as an electrician and their mother worked with the police of Republic city. Their parents were rarely home, so the boys would always go exploring without their parents' knowledge. They would always come back before either of them came home at night. Ryou was very protective of Ryko. They found out that they had bending abilities when they were playing in the streets one day. They were play fighting and Ryou accidentally set off a fire blast in the direction of his younger brother. Ryko drew up his arms to defend himself, thus bringing up huge rocks directly in front of himself. After this discovery, they immediately ran home to tell their parents. Their parents, in turn, began to train them in the ways of each of their powers. They both grew closer with the parent that taught them how to train their powers. Their parents also began to take them to pro bending games. Ryou and Ryko got so excited by these that when their parents were at work, they would sneak into matches and watch. They began to copy the movements of the pro benders and replicate them in fights against each other, Ryou always winning of course. When they finally turned eighteen, they told their parents that they wanted to join the league. Their parents didn't care, and, being too busy, didn't seem to notice when their boys were gone. The boys and Siku have been training together for over two years now and have become very well trained. They plan to hopefully train some more and win.
