[color=darkkhaki][sub][u]APPEARANCE DETAILS[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent]As pictured above, Ryschi is a young man with brown hair and gray eyes and a non-airbending tattoo he got from a Fire Nation friend of his on his left arm. It's meant to look like a coiling flame, but his friend wasn't a particularly good tattoo-artist at the time. He stands at 5'4" and weighs 120 lbs with little musculature.[/indent]

[color=darkkhaki][sub][u]PERSONALITY[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent]Ryschi is a man of action with a fierce personality, allowing himself a freedom of expression and movement before fully thinking of where the wind intends to take him. His spirituality leans towards a belief that the gentleness of tradition is restricting the flow and pressure of air. Peaceful clouds may have their place in the sky but so do tornadoes. Because of this viewpoint, he's become rather abrasive with the pacifists of the Air Nomads which has further led him to become quite defensive of criticism. Though, they put up with his antics because he and his sky-bison, Kimo, are the only ones willing to fly through storms to deliver messages. He does however make fast friends with Fire Nation citizens since he understands their passion and feels bolstered by the heat to rise to greater challenges.[/indent]

[color=darkkhaki][sub][u]BIOGRAPHY[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent]Growing up in the Northern Air Temple, Ryschi was 4 when the Avatar Korra passed away. As he grew, Ryschi felt the change in the air, witnessed the growing anger of the spirits, and sensed that bending had shifted fundamentally. All the elements are tied to the spirits, but airbending is deeply connected to them in a way the others aren't. While others meditated within the peaceful snow, Ryschi found strong winds and harsh colds to balance himself. When it came time for him to travel, he bonded with a particularly rambunctious sky-bison that he named Kimo and left for the Fire Nation to train in the heat the way he did the cold. He made many a friend within the Fire Nation, and picked up on their forceful, quick bending style. Then, he'd return to the Northern Air Temple and begin his meditative practices yet again. Ryschi would continue this pattern for some time, flying to the Fire Nation to heat up his passion for bending and combat and then returning to the cold north to sink back down and center himself and his spirit. This cycle would create a current within him, a need for movement, for action. The Elders were not fond of his intensity and found him to be unbalanced, there was fun and being carefree and then there was eternal restlessness. Thus, he was passed over for certain trainings, or would fail to be "centered" or "aligned" enough for the teachers liking and would be suggested to do the training again. As such, he never earned his tattoos and was never seen as a master. His closest friend within the Fire Nation, Shaw-Fe, attempted to reassure him by tattooing Ryschi himself saying that "You fight like a firebender, and I'd consider you a master." So, when the Earth Kingdom attacked, Ryschi felt a need to defend the Fire Nation and his friend. However, the Elders of the North threatened to refuse to teach him further if he did so which would effectively keep him from ever earning his tattoos. Ryschi relented, and instead offered to be a messenger between the Water Tribes since they at least were doing something to help. With the awakening of the next Avatar, Ryschi refuses to sit still and let the Earth Kingdom have their way realizing that a true master of the winds does not need recognition. Besides, someone will have to teach the Avatar airbending, and it's unlikely to be any of the other Nomads that want nothing to do with the war.[/indent]

[color=darkkhaki][sub][u]TRIVIA[/u][/sub][/color] 
[indent]Ryschi has endured many storms and has thus become familiar with lightning, leading him to become quite jealous of lightning benders for wielding a powerful force of the sky that he cannot.[/indent]
