[color=E6E6E6]Moving my relevant character information here. I'll keep this updated with changes and my eventual character. [color=FFFFFF][b]NPCs[/b][/color] [hider=The People of the Republic] A peaceful and yet somewhat oblivious union of men and women. They live out their daily lives free of fear and uncertainty. Most believe bending a plague while some understand the history and have come to terms with the passing of the era of the Avatar.[/hider] [hider=The King] [color=E6E6E6] [color=FFFFFF][b]Name:[/b][/color] King Wu the Sixth [color=FFFFFF][b]Age[/b][/color] 46 [color=FFFFFF][b]Appearance[/b][/color] Much like his forefathers, Wu has dark brown hair and green eyes. His skin however is of a slightly lighter color and he’s fairly tall. Still quite skinny. Clean cut with distinct facial features. [color=FFFFFF][b]Personality[/b][/color] A weary and regretful demeanor. Wu’s time as King has left a weight on his shoulder that has begun to take it’s toll. He means well but he understands the reason why the world is the way it is… and more importantly he understands his specific situation. He rules his people fairly yet strictly making sure that the people are happy but always remember their place and the problems that set the world afire. He doesn’t want history to repeat but he doesn’t want his people to continue living the way they are… making him a very conflicted person. [color=FFFFFF][b]History[/b][/color] Wu was born in the year 307ag, a good 63 years after the last great war. He grew up near exclusively in the palace and was always surrounded by those politicians that ran the world… and the children that would run the world after them. Wu’s position had been made clear early on: That the fate of the Republic would eventually rest in his hands and he would have to care for his people when the time came. He took too his predestined life with a vigor rarely seen. Lessons started early in his life focusing on the history of the world and why he lived in what was now considered the very last city on Earth. He learned of the hard decisions his forefathers had to make for the preservation of humanity and for peace. He learned that in time he too would have to make those same decisions and would have to live with the consequences… for better or worse. He learned that his life was not merely his own but also that of the people he ruled. His future would prove to be trying but the rewards would be immense. Of course as he grew older, the real lessons, those lying underneath the ones he was taught as a child became clear. There were lies around every corner in the world and for the betterment of the Republic, it was his responsibility to uphold those lies. His rule for the most part was unremarkable due in part to the fact that the laws already in place were simply enforced. He himself made sure of it. Benders, were killed off immediately as were criminals. There was no tolerance for violence of any sort as the world had already seen it’s share of it. In this way, there were no revolts during his reign, no wars to be waged, pressing political issues to dictate. It wasn’t until he was left to think for himself that he’d begun to second guess the way of the world. Sure he’d never truly stood among his own people but he’d seen them in the flesh. Men and women were brought to his attention on a consistent basis and each of them… had a story. They didn’t tell it but he could see it in their eyes. They brought him pieces and over time he put together a full story. His people were safe but they were left wanting… like there was a hole that needed filling. He felt he had to do something. Perhaps it was his turn to make a tough decision for his people, like his fathers before him.

Perhaps its the job or maybe that’s how he’s always been but he’s never found any relief in being kind to those he’s had to kill. It’s not that chasing people down and ending their life has put a dampening on his mood. Not at all. It’s just that giving them any amount of hope hasn’t benefited anyone… least of all himself. And so, since the day he was born he’s been every bit as abrasive as ever. Blunt. Straight to the point. Focused more than anything else, when given a task he strives to complete that task. It’s what he knows and he knows he’s very good at it. By night he’s hunting benders and by day he’s head of the defense of the city or more specifically the Republic’s police force. The title only makes it all the more necessary to keep all optimistic feelings at bay and keep dominion over his men with a strict demeanor. Toward Koeska he harbors an understanding and overall brother like relationship. It’s the only kind he shares. [color=FFFFFF][b]History[/b][/color] Born to a noble house. Cypher received an early and vigorous education on all things from history to the social arts. He’s surprisingly academic if one pays close enough attention. However it wasn’t until he learned of the past transgressions of the benders and their direct relationship with his family did his life make a sudden and unexpected shift. [/color][/hider] [hider=Koeska] Works closely with Cypher. More a guard for the King than anything else, any orders she's given trickles down from Cypher himself.[/hider] [/color]
