Full Name: Fan-Lei
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Element: Fire
Birthplace: Fire Fountain City
Position: Young Travelling Monk
Training:

Firebending (Intermediate)
Spirit World (Beginner)
Bostaff (Expert) [this skill really coincides with firebending, as one must be a great warrior in order to bend through the weapon]


Personality: Fan-Lei has always been a warm boy. He has shown great humility and honor, has always been compassionate and lighthearted, but it has been buried by his quest. He has incredible drive, not uncommon to firebenders, but his drive takes him spiritually instead of physically. He is wise beyond his years, his wisdom having helped even some elders who would ask for it on his travels. All of this wisdom has given him a sense of, responsibility. His warmth does not easily show, in fact he seems almost difficult to reach, to any mortal being.

Abilities: Fan-Lei has been a travelling monk for sometime now. A monk of what, he has not exactly clarified, but he has travelled and has gained some interesting abilities. He has learned to live off the land, but to make it seem as if he was never there. He has learned to heal others medicinally, to make the wound seem nonexistent. He has reached a level of spiritual depth and wisdom the majority of men do not achieve in their lives, minus those who have studied. Fan-Lei is not only a skilled helper, but he can work as a warrior too, with his firebending and sizeable bostaff skills. Thanks to these practices, he is nimble as well and a difficult opponent to best. He has also proved his worth as a tactician, partly due to his impressive knowledge of the human psyche.

Appearance
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 123 lbs.
Eyes: Yellow (Fire Nation)
Hair: Black
Skin: Pale

Fan-Lei is not physically intimidating by any means. He has a slight, athletic build and wears simple black robes with green trim. He has hair that swoops down to his shoulders, and warm, kind facial features. There are no scars, birthmarks, anything that truly characterizes his face. Frankly, he is often mistaken for a woman, although if one looked down to his bare feet they would see he is in fact a man, for they are not so beautiful as the rest of him.

Weaponry & Other Gear

Item Name Bostaff

Item Name Sack

Materials: Bamboo
Description: Fan-Lei is a capable musician, but generally does not practice this craft.


History: Fan-Lei was born into Fire Fountain City, a city formerly known for a large statue of Fire Lord Ozai, now known for being a huge contributor to the upcoming Industrial Revolution. Fan-Lei had a childhood of comfort. His family was heavily involved in supplying raw materials to the factories, and became quite wealthy doing so. Fan-Lei had whatever he wanted and it was expected that when he came of age he would take a role in the family industry.
When he was discovered to be a firebender, his comfort changed. His parents brought down their full attention to making sure he would not use his ability. (It was never explained to him why he should not firebend) He luckily managed to partially develop his craft in secret, but realized that to become a great firebender like he dreamed, he would need to escape his family. He decided that he would become a nomad, a fire nomad, and travel the world to learn. His first stop was to a fire nation library, to learn what he could of the world. He became fascinated by both the spirit world as well as the airbenders. He travelled next to the Western Air Temple, where he knew if he could gain entry, he would find bending experts willing to help him develop a style of firebending inspired by airbending. He was captivated by the dexterity of all the airbenders he had met, and their grace and accuracy blew him away (ha). He eventually reached the Western Air Temple, and after persuading the monks of his intent, they decided it may be a worthwhile cause. Thanks to this opportunity, Fan-Lei was able to study under some fantastic spiritual teachers, and develop his firebending to a fluid, unpredictable, and delicate practice never seen before outside of airbending. Eventually, the air nomads pressured him to leave, as his spiritual enlightenment may only come from travel, and the combat masters had taught him all they might be able to, his combat was too unique. He would have to take his practice and develop it outside, and once he reached what could be considered a master discipline, accept new firebenders into his teachings and teach his craft to others. Fan-Lei decided to travel first to the vast expanses of the earth kingdom, where he may experience many terrains and many small towns, to bring good where he may be able to and help the helpless.





Fan-Lei



{noncombat}
Fan-Lei had left the Western Air Temple only three days ago. He knew that the air nomads had taught him all they would be able to, but he had hoped they would've come up with some at least partially thought out explanation for him in the days before he left. Well, I guess it isn't in their way anyway. They don't have the ambition or the curiosity for such things., thought Fan-Lei. Even so, the fact that he had airbent was tearing away at him, the possibility he may not only be a firebender, but after 10,000 years of elemental separation, he might be an airbender too. It made sense, even when he had developed his firebending skills in a way shaped by airbending, he grew exponentially faster than he ever would have in the gangs at home. He was perhaps one of the most unique firebenders alive, one who could not only use fire to attack, but to defend, to evade, to warn, and even to save. None of that mattered right now though, right now, Fan-Lei had to go somewhere. He didn't know where and would have no way of knowing, he could only hope that his fate would catch him and lead him to where he could truly learn airbending. Hopeful, Fan-Lei raised his arms and attempted to throw air from his fingertips, but instead, fire came out.

{combat}
Fan-Lei would be leaving soon. After staying in the Western Air Temple for a year to hone his firebding technique to a more creative style, Fan-Lei would be leaving. The airbenders were proud of what they had created in him, a firebender with a skill shaped by air. They had brought their master of airbending to watch the duel, between a fairly matched airbender to Fan-Lei's abilities. Fan-Lei and his opponent stood across a circular dueling floor from each other, and sat into their stances. The duel began, and the airbender immediately begin to move rapidly and unpredicatably, with the assistance of his ethereal element. Fan-Lei sat patient, ready to counteract when he had the best chance. Fan-Lei maintained elliptical patterns of motion in order to keep up with the airbender, as this would accomodate his firebending better than the circular motion of an airbender. Fan-Lei fired first, releasing three compact blasts of fire at the airbender, but the airbender managed to blow them away despite their speed. Fan-Lei lowered himself into a roll and came off the ground in a forward kick, with a longer blast of fire coming from his left foot. The airbender caught on and exposed an imbalance to the right, simultaneously dodging the firebender's blast and knocking him to his feet with a careful gust of air. Frustrated, Fan-Lei picked himself up and took a deep breath. Internal balance was key to his technique, a fault the airbender had already exploited once. Fan-Lei circled back to his right and brought his arms around, kicking both feet into the air, and then released four precise bolts of flame, first from his hands, then his feet. Each blast was precisely calculated and struck the airbender on each of his limbs. The airbender managed to catch himself and roll up again to continue his evasion, but Fan-Lei would not allow for it. The firebender raised his hands, and with a smooth roll of wrist, threw a wall of air into the airbender, knocking him off his feet and into the wall. Fan-Lei stumbled back, and looked immediately at the other airbenders, none of which had moved an inch. The airbenders gasped in shock and the master airbender immediately jumped to his feet. It was clear what had happened, yet none could explain it, not even Fan-Lei.

I'm going to draw some better pictures of this character, but it would be appreciated if I could get some help with them, for I am new to art of this style. I'm capable for the most part but after looking at these RPs some of you guys put my abilities to shame. Smile

hi! welcome to the forums. Admin here, usually known as Zulera.

So the general rule of thumb here is that if it was not seen or displayed in the show at all, then it is not allowed here. the "Dark Avatar" concept, for example, was one that we did not even consider until after the events of The legend of Korra. (since we are mainly based off of ATLA with some inspiration from LOK), and since the notion of dual-bending is something we never saw in any form of the show (barring the Avatar of course), it is similarly not allowed here. We've had a few others try to do this as well, and so know that this is nothing personal.

this is not a rejection though. most of the rest is salvageable other than the dual-bending things. Well... and the economy of Fire Fountain City is actually booming, given that the world is on the verge of an Industrial Revolution.
but yeah, PM me (PM the Zulera account) if you have any questions, or address them here.

Alright, I rewrote the history and skills to take the airbending out, though I left the influence the airbenders had on him in. I did not change the sample RPs as these ultimately won't affect the character. Hopefully this'll be fine.

(Sorry double comment)

Also I checked out the storylines a bit to rewrite this so I wouldn't make up my own conflicting background. Obviously to completely understand it will take me longer but I am changing this character to fit in with the situation.

yeah, bending based off of another bending style is okay. a lot of our members (including several of my own characters) do that, and that's okay.
although, lightningbending is an expert or master-tier skill (as is metalbending, but I digress)
otherwise, I'm assuming you want a re-check, yes? or was there more editting you wanted to do first?

Alright, I'll take lightning out, but once I get to expert I'm putting it back in lol.

Aside from that, I'd like a recheck.

sounds good to me then. we're fairly lenient about levelling up characters and stuff too, so it's not like, if you make an intermediate character, that you have to stay intermediate forever.

thus... APPROVED!
