In the beginning, two beings were created. They were given the names Alpha and Omega. Alpha was the embodiment of everything that is just and good, likewise Omega was the embodiment of all that wrong and evil in the world. They battled all throughout time, and all over the earth. Their powers were evenly matched, with one never taking the upper hand over the other. They realized they were too evenly matched to continue their battle, so they would allow fractions of their powers to begin manifesting in humans. These humans (who would later be dubbed "Supers") would then continue the battle of good and evil in the place of Alpha and Omega. You are one of these humans.
Locations Pavar: The medium-sized town in northwestern Arizona in which our story will unfold. The town is rather isolated, being surrounded by desert on all sides. However there is a large man-made freshwater reservoir north of the city. This isolation has led Pavar to become a very tight-knit community, and somewhat self-sustaining. The west side of town is home to the Sand Creek Mall, Pavar High, and a large steel mill that employ many people within the town. The east side of town is the Residential District, where most people are born and raised.
Sand Creek Mall: The town’s main attraction, students and adults alike can be found here hanging out or doing shopping. All of the large chain stores moved out long ago, resulting in a mall that is full of locally owned small business. Stores include clothing outlets, a grocery, various department stores, a cafe, and numerous restaurants in the food court The chinese restaurant in the food court is the bomb.
Pavar High: The high school where the citizens of Pavar send their kids to get an education. Your character should be attending, or had graduated from this fine learning establishment. Standard high-school courses with numerous electives are offered for students here.
Residential District: The east side of town where people (as the name suggests) reside. Far from the cookie-cutter homes that are becoming popular in other American suburbs houses of all shapes and sizes dot long and winding roads.

Personality: Curtis is a very outgoing individual who is constantly making jokes (sometimes at inappropriate moments) in an attempt to make the mood light. That being said he can be serious when the occasion calls for it. Trusting to a fault, Curtis more often than not is an open book to other individuals.
Likes: Oranges, Metal Music, Coffee
Dislikes: Spiders, Hot Weather, Untrustworthy Indiviuals
History: Curtis isn't a Pavar native. He moved to Pavar with his twin brother Ash and their mother at the beginning of their sophomore year. After a particularly nasty divorce their mother was quite eager to leave anything that reminded her of her previous marriage. This in turn has caused her to be distant from her sons, who have channeled this distance into different outlets. Curtis focuses on school and making the most of his last year of high school. Ash has found more creative outlets. Despite the stark difference between the twins they are remarkably close and will still have each other's back (even if it might take a bit of convincing). The two aren't identical twins, and their radically different choices of attire makes it incredibly easy to tell them apart from one another. When not attending classes Curtis can be found enjoying coffee at the cafe located in Sand Creek Mall, or scouring Pavar in search of his brother.
Awakening: The alarm screeching brought an end to Curtis's restless night of sleep. He had went to bed with a terrible headache, and it appeared that he was going to start the day with another. Wiping the sleep from his eyes he walked down the hall to his house's bathroom, luckily it was unoccupied, This meant either Ash wasn't going to school or he wasn't even home from the night before. Either way it meant Curtis could take a nice long shower to try to nurse away this headache. Curtis stayed in the shower for quite some time, hoping that the headache was something sinus related and the steam would help take care of it. No such luck. He returned to his room wrapped in a towel and quickly got dressed. The headache was getting worse now, his vision would blur if he didn't focus. "What the fuck..." he muttered to himself while stumbling into the kitchen. Then it happened. It was almost like a snap. He felt it start at the base of his neck and travel down his spine. His headache was gone, but immediately replaced by something else. He felt connected to the earth beneath his feet. At first the sensation was overwhelming, the feeling causing him to drop to his knees. He reached for the granite counter-top to help himself up, but was shocked when a chunk of the tabletop instead ripped from the counter and flew down into his hand. Curtis dropped the piece out of pure shock, it audibly crashing against the floor. The granite had moved in response to him thinking about it. Before he had much time to think about what had occurred the tabletop had begun to shake, followed by the utensils in the silverware drawer. Not knowing what to do Curtis ran out the kitchen door and out to the driveway. He stood outside in the hot Arizona sun and watched as the rocks of the driveway slowly began to float around him, making lazy circles around his outstretched arms. A smile slowly formed on Curtis's face. Life had just gotten interesting.

Pavar is small town in northwestern Arizona. The community boasts a high school, a small mall, and a large residential area. Nothing particularly worthwhile has happened in this town for quite some time, until Supers began to spring up in the population. You are some of these young Supers whose powers are just starting to manifest. The RP would explore powers and relationships developing before something nasty shows up. Any takers?
Real character
Name: Derius Stonecap
Age: 68
Species: Gnome
Appearance:
Alcohol tolerance: Moderate, can tolerate but doesn’t like to drink
Profession: Illusionist
B&B Character
Name: Steve Carter
Age: 43
Race: Human (Caucasian)
Appearance:
Name: Iwao Botan
Nickname: None thus far
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Iwao is attracted to members of the opposite sex, but has more important things to do than think about love. Stuff…like….umm….throwing rocks around!
Appearance:
Iwao stands at roughly six feet tall, with brown hair and the piercing green eyes shared by many natives of the Earth Kingdom. The wrappings around his arms and legs are not only stylish, but cover the numerous burns he inflicted upon himself while trying to learn how to Lavabend.
Primary Element: Earth
Secondary Element: Lava
Strengths: Iwao is very level headed (some would say grounded. Lol. Earthbending humor) and is excellent at moderating conflict. Even though he is an excellent bender he won’t hesitate to attempt to talk things out first.
Weaknesses: Heights. Iwao is absolutely TERRIFIED of heights.
Personality: Iwao is a very funny and outgoing individual, constantly making jokes and quips (normally at his own expense for the sake of comedy). He enjoys the company of others, and is always eager to make new friends. However this isn’t without fault. His outgoing nature sometimes causes Iwao to put trust in people he shouldn’t, which has come back to bite him in the ass in his past.
History: Iwao lived with his family in a large village on an island off the coast of the mainland Earth Kingdom (the large island to the east of Kyoshi Island). Both of his parents were earthbenders, and Iwao and his older brother Ro trained from a young age to master their family’s element. Life was good, until the volcano to the north of their village erupted. The village was far enough south that it would be spared from the noxious fumes, but the lava flow was headed straight for the village. Earthbenders from the village left to divert the flow. They were successful, but Ro perished in the struggle against the lava. After that day Iwao’s parent’s lost a lot of their passion for bending, and he began to train himself. Soon Iwao would scale the volcano, reaching the summit and attempting to learn Lavabending.
He met the Avatar at a young age when she was travelling to Ba Sing Se. Her ship stopped in Iwao’s village to gather supplies. The entire village was abuzz trying to meet her, so Iwao only caught fleeting glances. However when he heard that she was ready to truly learn the elements he was eager at the chance to show her Earthbending, and quickly set off for the Southern Water Tribe.
