[color=00aeef][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] 
Standing at 6'2, He has always been taller and more mature than all the children his age. His got his long brown hair from his father and his hazel eyes from his mother. Slim in nature but toned from his long days scavenging and hunting.

[color=00aeef][b]Profession:[/b][/color] 
Works with his father is a hunter/scavenger to bring supplies and food back to Tu Zin when they are in need. 

[color=00aeef][b]Personality:[/b][/color] 
The quickest learner, always the first to find and understand the arts of food, labor, bending and life. His father taught him to always be aware of his surroundings, the very meaning of his name was "Wolf". At a young age Tikaani learned that the key to anything is persistence and patience. He would take these and use them on his hunts that he took along side his father. There wasn't much left in the land after the war, and at most times Tikaani and his mother felt drained because of the heat conflicting their inner-self. Overall Tikaani is silent, understands what needs to be done, and was taught to always finish what was started. He's shy at times and will rarely voice an opinion, but he is no push over. He uses ferocity that he learned from fire benders in his own bending, allowing for quicker release of his energy in movements.     

[color=00aeef][b]Stance on Benders?:[/b][/color] 
Living in Tu Zin Tikaani doesn't know much of any problems other than the ones he has to deal with personally. Rarely are their checks for bending, all he knows are the barren lands that he lives. Though what he has heard from what his father speaks, he wants to hate nonbenders, telling himself they are horrible for blaming benders, but his heart refuses to make a bias decision as of right now.

[color=00aeef][b]History:[/b][/color] 
Born into a family that was not considered wealthy nor poor, his father and mother are kind people, giving more and more every year as Tikanni grew. He spent most of his early childhood learning about the qualities in life from his mother, rules of living, basic chores. All of which he was expected to use for his own family. He has spent his whole life in Tu Zin behind closed doors. Before the age of 13 he rarely stepped foot out side of his house, in his mothers fear of "seeings the world for how it really is" His mother and father never wanted anything to corrupt Tikanni, keeping him from most books detailing wars and shielding him from the past history of Avatars. Although they have always interested him.

At the age of 13 he was given his first task as a "Man". Hunting. He, alongside his father and two of his close friends left Tu Zin in search of food and anything worth using back home. His father had been doing it for years, back into Tikaani's infant days, he never knew exactly where or why he had gone until he witnessed the land for himself... Almost nothing. Wastes. It created a hole in him that he wanted to leave Tu Zin one day and find somewhere. Anywhere. That things might be okay. Somewhere the world he thought he knew, was true.

At the age of 14 he began learning basic bending, moving drinking water around, swirling it and creating mist. He was unable to get far into learning and reading when his mother, also a bender herself, found out. She forbid the practice in fear for her sons life if anyone found out. Now at the age of 18 Tikaani still has his many dreams, and craving to see what the world is.
