Cool! I will honestly appreciate the coaching! The OOC gave a lot of information, which was why I was fairly comfortable asking to join. I'm going to drop some character concepts I was thinking of for review.

1: Earthbending soldier, warrior, or something of the like. A man who genuinely believes in the earth bender's cause because he doesn't realize just how terrible it is. He, of course, wants to bring the avatar in under the idea that he's protecting them. And by protecting the avatar, he is protecting his people. Issues I could see with this: Mostly just interacting with other player characters. Additionally, my friend informed me that "this is just Zuko", so that may also be problematic? Its a shame because he is my favorite of the concepts, but it may be the least playable. I'm a HUGE sucker for a character realizing that what they've done is wrong, despite believing originally that it was helping.

2: A similar concept to what is above, but a little bit more playable. An earthbending, traveling performer with the intention of finding the avatar. He traveled the land of the Earth Kingdom with a company of players (theatrical performers), performing acrobatic tricks and telling tales praising the power of the Earth Kingdom. He believes that the Earth Kingdom is genuinely the best people to rule and wants to find the Avatar in order to bring them home to safety. Benefits: He's more flexible than 1 and is not actively aggressive towards other bender types. In fact, he would not mind working with them if it means finding the avatar faster. After all, he would NEVER get attached to non-earth benders (/s). Issues: I would have to research traveling performers from cultures similar to the Earth Kingdom. That isn't a big deal because I am already studied in a lot of theatrical culture. But I would want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

3: A fire bender bounty hunter. She intends to find the avatar with the intent to use him as a weapon to win the war. At least, that's what she says on the surface. She's helped fight in the war so far, but she just wants it to be over. She sees the whole thing as an utter waste of life on both sides of the war. Benefits: Not an earth bender, so easier to interact with other characters. Also has a specific reason why she would help bring the Avatar to a place that isn't the Earth Kingdom.

Are any of these concepts acceptable?
