|{Personality}|
Kesuk is a man of few words. He prefers to listen rather than to speak, although he has no problem talking when he needs to, or when spoken too. Some people describe his calm demeanor as cold even uncaring, but most times it was not intended. Kesuk prefers to act rather than speak, often acting in spontaneous ways.

He often stays his distance from strangers, preferring his book to starting interactions. This is not to say that he doesn’t enjoy some social activities, it’s just that more often than not, he’d prefer to be alone than with a crowd of loud people. If you are one of the few he is close with he doesn’t mind giving his piece of wisdom on topics, or lending an ear to listen to your problems. Having lost those closest to him he is protective of those he has left.

He is very analytical of things, his silence allowing him to gauge the situation before acting. He likes to plan his actions carefully, as to make as little mistakes as possible. He is very patient, and has no problem sitting still for hours on end.

|{Place of Origin}|
Northern Water Tribe
|{History}|
Kesuk was born in the Northern Water Tribe. His mother was one of the keepers of the Spirit Oasis and his father was a blacksmith. Since his father was a skilled artisan he was one of the main suppliers for the NWT Army. This kept their family well off, and enabled Kesuk to have a happy childhood. He was always smiling when he was younger, and never afraid to say hi. As his mother was a keeper of one of the most spiritual places in the world he and his family had always been very observant of spirits. He would often accompany his mother to the Oasis when he was little, he was always excited to see Tui and La. As he aged it became his escape from the world, a place he could come to in times of stress.
Once he became old enough, he began to work under his father at the forge, basically taking the role as apprentice. What was at first a demanding chore grew to be something he looked forward to. He learned to appreciate fine craftsmanship, and to value hard work. The only other person who worked in the forge was Akkato, his father’s teacher, who became closer and closer with Kesuk each day. It was him who taught him swordsmanship, to never rely too much on his bending.
After the Tsumi Ribasu attack that took his parents when he was a teenager (purposefully left vague) he moved to live with Akkato. He took his mother’s place at the Oasis and became Akkato’s full on apprentice simultaneously. It was then he grew into the quiet person he is now. Life grew somewhat monotonous for him, that is, until he met the Avatar.
|{Family Tree}|
Father | Tokal (Deceased)
Mother | Makka (Deceased)
Adopted Grandfather | Akkato
|{Happiest Memory}|
Kesuk’s happiest memory is his first time going to the Spirit Oasis with his mother.
|{Saddest Memory}|
His saddest memory is the day of his parents’ murder.

"Only you can bring balance into the world like the Avatars before you. Tonrar is getting stronger and stronger with each passing day, and only you have the power to defeat him..--" The pale yet, tan woman said as she stared down at the young Avatar who had begged for advice from one of her past lives. "But Avatar Asama, How? How can I stop him when he knows everything about me? My past, my weak points, everything. He knows them and... and I know nothing about him." Sumi said as she looked towards the past Avatar in desperation. Through her travels, she had found out that this man, the leader of the Tsumi Ribasu knew things about her that only doctors and friends would know. And, the truth was to the Avatar, he was a complete mystery.

"I know you are afraid, Avatar Natsumi. But, if you do not defeat him by the time of the new year, something-- Something unimaginable will be released, ending the world as you know it. As she spoke the finally words, the calm mountains behind the two of them faded and it all went black. She turned around to see the world around her only to look back and see Asama gone. "Wha-- No! No, come back. I have more questions! Please!" Natsumi stood up and looked around only to hear a chuckle behind her. The masked man stepped forward with his swords dragging against the concrete floor. The young girl stuck towards the masked man only to miss several times. She shook her head before running the opposite way, hearing Tonrar start sprinting as well but it all came to an end when the man grunted, jumped, and--


~~~~~~~~~


Natsumi sprang up from her slumber as she huffed in and out, trying to regain her breathing. She put on hand to her chest as she could feel her heart pounding. She cleared her throat before getting up and making her way towards the single window in her room of the Southern Air Temples. She looked out to see the sun rising as she sighed. With every passing day it became more and more surreal that this wasn't a dream and that this was her life now. She had all this pressure and all these lives she had to keep safe. Something she was never used to back home. She never had much responsibility and now... Now she felt like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders and sooner or later she was just going to collapse. She took her hair out of the bun and let it run down her face as she used her comb from home to brush it back up.

Right as she was about to go back to sleep, she heard a small but noticeable crash to the ground. Making her automatic, go into defense mode. She quietly made her way out of her room as she looked down the hall to hear not one other rooms stirring. She silently made her way to open courtyard like area only to see and hooded figure looking through their items. Natsumi, while young was far from naive about the Air Temples. The Air Acolytes left the temple when Natsumi was at least sixteen. Meaning, no one should know that this place would be occupied. The firebender took a step forward before kicking towards the man, letting the fire catch him off guard. She propelled herself towards him before having see the man run towards a thin, almost invisible rope. She cut him off, throwing more fireballs towards him as she let her anger take over. The man tried to fight back, but was obviously terrified. The hooded figure took off his hood to reveal a man, she had never seen before. "Stop! Please, I beg you."

"Why are you here?! Who sent you?! And how did you find us?!" She asked as she kept her arms up, ready to attack in case he made any wrong moves. "I'm so sorry." The tan man said through his sobs. "What are you talking about? Who are you with?" The man didn't answer as he continued crying, the furious Avatar kept her arms towards him as she looked him up and down, noticing the small, gold insignia on his jacket. Her eyes widened as she took a deep breath in. "Oh, no."

"The Tsumi." She looked at him before running off to warn the others. "Everyone get up! The Tsumi's coming!" She ran through the narrow hallways and through the other courtyards just in case someone decided to have an early morning training session. Natsumi made her way into her room, to grab the one thing she kept in her room which was the maps of where they planned on going. She didn't trust anyone with them for reasons like this, if the Tsumi were to get their hands on this, they would know the team's entire plan to stop them. She clutched the map tightly as she felt an explosion vibrate the ground under her. They were going to blow the temple out of the sky by blowing the mountain it lied on. The young girl heard footsteps coming from all parts of the temple, all making their ways to the courtyard to protect what they could of one of the last remaining Air Temples.

She rubbed her face as she ran back into the main courtyard to protect her sky bison, Nini, Team Avatar's only way of transportation. She watched the mysterious man used his airbending to fly himself away from the temple and on to a hot air balloon, not far from where they were. She groaned as she took a step make before breathing out about to strike. The young Avatar locked eyes with one of the captains. He mouthed something to hooded man next to him that Sumi couldn't make out. But, it became clear when canisters made their way towards the open area.

She gasped as she used her basic airbending to surround her and the rest of the team in a ball of air to protect them from the gases that were released. She let it down once the dust cleared for the most part and went back to trying to shoot down as many balloons as she could. She watched as others fell from the other benders, but after a moment of analyzing the swarm of hot air balloons she finally realized, "There's too many of them. We need to get out of here before they get on the ground." And by the looks of it, they didn't have much time before the members of the Tsumi were close enough to get off their balloons and attack.

"Alright, in....and out." Jing repeated to himself as he took deep, slow breaths as he stared down a small coin laying on a table. "Come on Jing, metal is still Earth. And Earth is your bitch." He muttered to himself. He widened his legs, and took a firm stance. He clenched his fists in a claw-like fashion, and placed his left hand over his right, with his left palm pointed outward, and his right facing himself. He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath in. He opened his eyes, and slowly exhaled his breath. As he exhaled he thrust his hands forward.

He looked down at the coin, which didn't move an inch. "Damn! I can heat rocks to over a thousand degrees! Why can't I move a stupid coin!?" Jing shouted in anger. He was in a fairly secluded area on the side of the mountain the Air Temple sat on, a place where he could train, and make as much noise as he wants without the others getting into his business. Jing picked up the coin, and put it in his pocket. He looked down at the table, and huffed at it. He flicked his wrist, and a small pool of lava formed underneath it, instantly burning it to a crisp.

"Stupid metalbending..." Jing huffed to himself as he flicked his wrist again, this time getting rid of the lava. "How is it that I can do that, and not move a stupid coin?!" He groaned in annoyance. He just doesn't get it, he understands how metalbending works, and he knows there is Earth in metal, but when he tries to bend it, nothing. It's pretty annoying, especially for a guy who has already mastered an even rarer form of Earthbending. Jing stomped on the ground, and a slab of rock roughly shaped like a chair sprung up.

Jing sat down on it, and took out his coin. He rubbed his thumb on the coin as he stared at it. He started rubbing the edge of his green scarf, wondering why he can't get the hang of it. He's suppose to teach the avatar Earthbending, he feels that if he can't even learn this, then what chance does he have at teaching her? "Whatever." He growled as he shoved the coin back into his pocket. He got out of his makeshift chair as he heard Natsumi shouting about something. "Can't leave them alone for one minute." He groaned.

Jing then felt the shaking of a explosion. "Good, I need something to smash!" He smirked as he created a pillar underneath his feet to launch himself back up to the temple. Jing rushed to his room, and grabbed his things. It was just a backpack with a sleeping bag, rocks for him to bend, and some dried meat. He keeps it simple. He causally walked out of his room, and towards the courtyard where everyone else was gathering around the flying bison.

He was the last to show up, and wasn't in the air shield that was made to protect them from the capsules. Instead he made a small pyramid out of Earth to protect himself. Once everything was done exploding, he cracked his shield open in half. He levitated one of the half's, and took aim at the nearest balloon. He sent the slab of Earth flying towards the balloon, hitting it directly in the balloon part. A grin crept across his face as he cracked his knuckles, this was obviously his idea of fun.

Jing swept his right arm horizontal in front of himself to create a large pool of lava. A unsettling laugh started to crackle from Jing. He launched several lobs of lava at the balloons, shooting them all out of the sky. "Now we're having fun! Any of you Princesses gonna put up a fight?!" Jing chuckled as he continued to shoot them down.

He continued to lob globs of lava at the balloons. He heard Natsumi saying something about retreating, but he didn't pay much mind to her. "Come on! Kick off your dress, and high heels Princess, it's just getting fun!" Jing smirked. He stomped his feet, and made two pillars shot up from the ground diagonally on each side of him. He dug his fingers into them. The pillars started to crack with a orange-red light, and they started to produce heat. He threw the pillars at a couple of balloons, and they exploded on impact. All while leting out a maniacal laughter.

Breathe in... Hold it... Breathe out. Miyuki bit down on her lip to keep from crying out as she changed the bloodied bandages on her torso. Cleaning her collection of wounds was always a daunting task, but she was getting better at it and dealing with the pain that came with unwrapping and rewrapping. Miyuki let out a collective sigh of relief when it was over and leaned on her sleeping bag in the small room of the Air Temple she was residing in with Team Avatar. Someday's it was still hard to believe that Miyuki was traveling with the someone so important. Her missions with the Kyoshi Warriors had always been to protect esteemed members of the earth kingdom. Never had Miyuki dreamed that she would be traveling with the savior of the universe and soon to be master of all four elements. Other days it was all too apparent that the avatar was still a human girl despite her lineage and thus still had humanly burdens and worries.

Miyuki placed her first aid kit back in her bag and pulled her shirt back on. She hadn't unpacked any of her belongings and only kept the essentials like her sleeping bag and kunai belt out and even most days she would roll the sack up and place it in her bag in case they needed to be ready to move. So far though things were quiet and Natsumi had been able to train in peace. Miyuki wished she could contribute to the avatar's training but the only things she could do were fight and treat wounds and so she did her duties with diligence and without complaint.

The black and white haired female suddenly felt very tired, it was late already and she should have been asleep hours ago. Miyuki lay down and closed her eyes, curling up on her side as sleep crept up on her. It was a mercifully dreamless sleep, which was wonderful because normally Miyuki was plagued by nightmares and the deaths of her comrades but tonight the Kyoshi Warrior was able to relax in the darkness that enveloped her mind.

"Everyone wake up! The Tsumi's coming!" The sound sliced through the darkness like a knife, sending the memory of that night into her mind and making Miyuki sit up abruptly, terribly alert to the fact that they were under attack. She stuffed her sleeping sack into her bag and strapped her belt on, leaving her shoes behind as she ran out the door. When Miyuki stepped into the courtyard where Natsumi's sky bison was just waking up she saw that they were too late, they were surrounded by the enemy. Miyuki grabbed two kunai, prepared to fight but Natsumi protected them from the Tsumi's gas attack with a shield made of air. She grit her teeth, feeling useless among the benders but determined to protect what was important. "Where's Jing?" Miyuki inquired suddenly, noticing that the earth bender was not among those under the shield.

Natsumi let the air bubble down and declared that the numbers were overwhelming. Just then Jing made an appearance and knocked a balloon out of the sky with a giant rock. There were already some on the ground and Miyuki placed her bag on the sky bison's saddle before throwing one kunai into the back of a member of the Tsumi and jumping down to parry the attack of another. She grabbed her bloodied weapon out of the body and prepared for more, gritting her teeth and thinking of the Kyoshi Warriors the Tsumi Ribasu had killed.

"This is for my sisters."
