Role: Fire Bender Outcast/Underground Hunter
Gender: Male
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Fire Demon Ran
Age: 19
Love Interest: None right now.
Appearance: A serious expression on his face almost at all times, one might wonder if he even feels any emotion with the look he gives to others. On very rare occasion, one can catch a glimpse of a different expression on his face, a hint that he is still human. But when he does show other emotions, it always seems to give off an almost sad feel to it. But it goes unnoticed to the current kind of people that he now lives and works for. Having mainly been in dark areas in his line of work, his skin is slightly lighter then his original darker coloring. When he Fire Bends, the people claim to see his eyes a reddish coloring due to the fire surrounding him, earning him his nickname. He has a slight build, showing that he has been in a number of fights and battles, but still trains more in speed then strength.
Preferred Clothing: Wearing a dark and red outfit, he's mainly seen in this when among his fellow "workers". But when in a village or city, in order to keep attention off of himself, since his clothes reassemble that of the Fire Nation, he wears a dark cloak that mainly covers his body, but can also pull a hood over his head for further concealment.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 145 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Orange
Personality: Strict and serious, he's easily considered to be very anti social. Even among his fellow "workers", no one has ever gotten close to him to really understand him well. But, if things start getting stressful or just hitting his nerve, he is capable of giving off quite a serious display of snapping. One might even say that once he snaps, he releases all the rage and despair that he's held within himself for years. But all this outer appearance of his hides a different version of himself within him. A suffer inner self that has long since accepted the fact that he is meant to not accepted among anyone. Because of this, he doesn't bother to form any bonds with people, just do his job and that's it. Even though he works hard in keeping such "useless" emotions at bay, he still finds himself to envy and despise when he sees people with such bonds with people that he has lacked for so long. In his mind set, if he is meant to suffer in such a way, no one else has the right to have a better life then him.
But if somone were to manage to break him out of this darkened state he is in, he might manage to become someone loyal.
Oddities: Normally calm, but when he snaps, on his few occasions, he pretty much goes into a berserker rage. VERY hard to calm him down.
Likes: Peacefull realxing, being with others, training
Dislikes: Annoyance, being alone, others with a better life.
Hobbies: Observing- When either on a task or just with nothing to do, he just sits back and observes the people around him.
Fears/Phobia(s): At first, anyone would say that he doesn't fear anything with the way he is, but in truth, he has one big fear that he's kept hidden from everyone around him. He has a strong fear of being left alone. One of the reasons why, even if working for The Undergrounds only ruins his life even more, he can't find it in himself to be alone once again. Not after what he went through when he was alone all those years ago.
Skills/Talents: Having been living on the streets for awhile, he has a knack in pickpocketing and other stealthy skills. Tracking and gaining information within towns is other such skills he has gained in regards to his life style.
Preferred Weapon: None, unless you count his body and Fire Bending as a weapon.
Fighting Style: Ran has a unique version of Fire Bending that mixes the smooth movements of a Water Bender and the agile and quick skills he's learned within The Underground. With combining this form of martial arts of his own along with his Fire Bending, he gives off the image of a wild flaming beast when he fights, using both swift and powerfull attacks in combination. The reason for his nickname among The Underground.
Personal History: Ran's life began in the most common form, having loving parents that cared for him as they tried to raise him well. But, when the war began, they came across a hard challenge that was seen as a treason by the Fire Nation. His father was of the Fire Nation, but his mother was of the Water Tribes. Able to Firebend, he was still taught both the strong style of Fire Bending and the flowing style of Water Bending, mixing them both into his own Fire Bending style. But his happy times with his parents wouldn't last long cause of the war and the fact his mother was a Water Bender. He was looked down by others having only his own parents to accept him for being a child of a Fire and Water Bender. But, something like this was seen as unacceptable in the eyes of the Fire Lord. So, the only logical action was taken, remove such treason sight among the Fire Nation. What came after was an event that was imprinted into Ran's mind for years to come. Their home was "visited" by Fire Nation soilders as they declared his father a traitor to the Fire Nation. His father protected him and his mother as they tried to get away as all he could see was him being outnumbered by Fire Nation soilders. His mother and him manged to get away as they attempted to try and get away by boat to escape to the Fire Nation. When they were about to get out, the soilders had managed to catch up to them as his mother tried to fend them off while he was made to leave on the boat. At the age of 9, Ran saw his parents, one by one, defend him and get overrun by Fire Nation soilders.
He was left alone, suddenly on his own within the Earth Kingdom as he started a life at a young age out on the streets. He lived with regret and guilt, feeling that it was his own fault that his parents were now gone, beliving that they were both dead now, or worse. Unsure of what to do, he started to steal off the streets to manage himself. Getting himself into such a side of the harbor town that he remained all these years, it didn't take long for the wrong crowd to notice a young Fire Bender stealing off the streets. He was brought into a recently forming crime group that would later grow and be named into "The Underground". Taking advantage of the war times, they started running black markets and "dirty" jobs in chains. Within this group, Ran trained, combining Fire Bending, the smooth movements of a Water Bender, and his newly taught skills learned among The Underground.He had gotten stronger, but he was nothing more then a tool for The Underground, never having even a friend among the ranks. With time, he went from a scared young boy that was taken in by wrong people, into a skilled "Hunter", someone sent to capture, locate, or kill a targets. His skills managed to give him the title of "Fire Demon" within The Underground for his almost emotionless expression whenever he faught someone, making people think that he wasn't even human.
Now a skilled Hunter, he is sent on missions in many locations. Recently, in an attempt for The Underground to show their siding with the Fire Nation in the war, they've been accepting to locate traitors and other wanted people for the Fire Nation within the other lands. Ran has been given the task in hunting down a young female that has left the Fire Nation and has a a bounty on her return. Little does he know that this Hunt wont be like the many he's done before.
