@Ambiguity You still around?
@Ambiguity There we go!
10 Years Ago
The Saito Estate
Chou kneeled before her father crying and clutching two broken fingers as her father's steely gaze rested upon her as heavy as steel. He shifted from his chair and his long elegant robes followed, trailing his every footstep like a shadow as his steps echoed their way towards his sobbing daughter. A quick hand flew out from his robes, slapping Chou across the face and sending her to the ground. Sympathy was not a word in Roku Saito's dictionary.
"You let some...some mongrel best you in a fight? What was the purpose of all those years of training? To teach you how to beat some prissy earth bender scum in a duel?" Chou whimpered, she felt compelled to speak up about how it was more than one person fighting her and how they were considerably older than her. She kept quiet though, she had been in situations like these one too many times and reason was not something her father would likely want to hear at the moment.
Her father sneered at her turning away in a flash and moving back to his chair.
"And all that talk of surpassing your brothers not two months ago? I suppose that was all lies then?" A cruel grin grew on his face as he could visibly see his daughter bending to his whim. "Get out of my sight."
Present Day
A marketplace within the Fire Nation
It had been nine years since Chou had run away from her father and joined the New Dawn rebellion. Roku was no longer her father, no, she saw Minoru, the leader of New Dawn as more of a father than Roku had ever been. She brushed back her messy, unkempt hair and pulled her gloves taut as she peered down upon her target. A politician who, while not explicitly supporting the Fire Nation's actions against the Water Tribes, spoke openly out against the New Dawn and their methods of protest. However, that was not the truth Chou had been told. She had been told he actively supported the massacres in the North pole and thereby needed to be eliminated. Of course, this was all lies, but lies she had been brainwashed to believe.
He was wearing formal attire, long elegant robes that forced memories of Chou's blood father into her head. Her father's dress sense was probably the reason Chou often wore boyish and practical clothes as opposed to the dresses and formal attire often expected of her. He couldn't have been an easier target, had it not been for the strange figure trailing him. A bodyguard most likely, and with his reputation probably not a mediocre one.
Chou sighed, taking a pale mask from her belt and putting it on as she readied herself for a fight. She leapt down from her vantage point, she had chosen her time well, it was getting close to dusk and the marketplace was relatively sparse. She got to a medium distance from her target before quickly stepping out and punching forward, intending to send a blast of fire towards the politician. Unfortunately for her, a passerby managed to trip and fall into her arm, skewing her aim and instead shooting the fire towards the bodyguard. Things were about to get sticky.

@Ambiguity Yeah! That's what I was meaning, I think I'll be able to get the post up soonish!
@Ambiguity Just getting onto the bit where our characters should meet, do you have any preference as to where you want them to meet? I was thinking a marketplace or something?
Name: Chou Saito
Age: 22
Affiliation: New Dawn - Underground rebellion group against the actions of the Fire Nation upon the Water Nation.
@Ambiguity Great! I'll start working on a post in a bit, no telling if I'll get it done by the end of the night though as it's already 1am here lol
@Ambiguity They're more of a rebellion against the more fascist points of the Fire Nation, so unless she's protecting someone who helped burn down the North pole I don't really see how that would play out?
Actually, thinking about it this could be a good idea. What if the rebellion itself has grown a little fascist and corrupt and the person your character is protecting is some sort of high profile character who disagrees with the methods of the rebellion and thereby must be gotten rid of according to the leaders of the rebellion? That could also give Chou a reason to split off from them and start travelling with the Avatar?

@Ambiguity I'm sort of writing a little about Chou's past, but I'm a little lost on how our characters should meet. Any ideas? In my head at the moment I've got an idea of them like bumping into each other and maybe getting off on the wrong foot sort of thing?
