Avatar: Lightning strikes (OOC)

Well if it's still possible would I like to enter a character.

Name: Ryuodo
Bandit Title: The Black Badger
Age: 21
Appearance: Disguise Clothes and here Casual Clothes
Home Land: The Earth Kingdom

Abilities:
Earth Bending, Sand Bending and Mud Bending

Bio: This warrior, Ryuodo, was born of a fire bender and an earth bender, it was through rape he was born and thus he was abandoned on the streets after birth. He was a bandit from then on, surviving through stealing from people and has been doing so for as long as he can remember. Ryuodo developed powerful bending abilities as he grew up alone and since he was never taught the ways of bending he was not bond by common sense, he was an earth bender and while he was not blind he used his internal energy, KI, to bend sand, earth and mud, he's attempting to gain further skills in bending but is currently focusing on gaining more skills in his current bending abilities.

Because of his black clothes and habit of burying, or digging, himself into the earth when ambushing his targets, when hiding or when fleeing, by using earth bending to tunnel himself to safety, he was given the title the Black Badger. No one has ever seen his face but because of the traits he has of the fire nation in his blood he is not always welcome among the commoners even if he takes off his disguise to take a leave from the bandit life.

Through his career as a bandit he has lived through the Fire Lord, self proclaimed Phoenix King, and his fall. And has spent all those years as a bandit to fight the fire nation. Ryuodo had no reason to steal from those who had nothing to be stolen, thus he became a big target by the fire nation during the war. But the Avatar distracted them from him and he managed to make many lasting wounds against the Fire Nation, though meager compared to the avatar's actions.

While he prefers to keep himself from killing but will do so to keep himself and innocents alive. And he will not hold back when asked for a duell to the death, as to honor his opponent's wishes.

While he doesn't bother most of the earth kingdom population, is he instead in deep shit when it comes to the nobles, merchants and traders of the entire kingdom. Through Ryuodo's life and career has he stolen from all manners of traders, merchants and noblemen through out the kingdom. He has moved everywhere in the Earth Kingdom, never staying in one spot for too long. And has knowledge over vast amounts of hidden areas and even ruins no one has seen before, and thus makes it very hard to find him once he's moving. Because of his trouble with the higher ranks of society do Ryuodo have a lot of bounties on him because of his ways, not to mention the bounties put on him for the people he has killed, and those they assume killed.

A fellow named Jing Dang, an Earth Bender who is an officer in the army and a nobleman, a minor duke, is attempting to make a name of himself by capturing the only criminal in Earth Kingdom who has never been captured for over ten years, who is the Black Badger, aka Ryuodo. He has grown more and more obsessed with capturing the Black Badger that he makes many harsh, rash and down right stupid decisions, he got zero in detective skills, average intelligence, though sometimes he's as dumb as rock, vain (he's a noble, duh), he keeps blabbering about things like justice and poetry. Jing believes in justice and will followed the law to the point. He's as skilled with a weapon and fists as an old monkey is, but still keeps blabbering about his swordsmanship, and his earth bending skills are that of an average soldier.

Ryuodo has tried to take a leave from his life as a criminal many times but he finds himself feeiling unsecure, open to be killed on sight. He feels like a caged or cornered animal and it frightens him like nothing else, as he has bee nthrough harsh times because of his childhood is he very wild spirited and prefers his freedom and the containment he feels when enterign a civilzied area dressed as a normal person makes him extremely uncomfortable and frightened.

And while he has his share of hunters after him does he have a very dangerous man after him, a noble man, a baron, who is in secret using his family work as wood crafters to hide his seedy work as a high grade drug lord. Ryuodo has destroyed many of his drug stashes and labs as he discovered them, most of them, by incident through his travels. The nobleman's name is Gyo-Dai Kumbai, he's a cunning, greedy, selfish, dark, powerful and influencing man in the Earth Kingdom, his drugs travel all over the world from Earth Kingdom and thus he's the one targeting Ryuodo the most as he's destroying any lab and drug stash he finds in his travels, which has reached over forty by now, and this has made the major reason for Gyo-Dai to target Ryuodo.

Ryuodo is currently in the Earth kingdom, he is keeping himself hidden within a deep cavern in the earth, checking through the food and money he had stolen from a well off merchant and his wagon, it would be enough to feed him for a week or two if the food doesn't go bad. While the war is over is he still a bandit and can not survive without stealing, thus he is still being hunted in Earth Kingdom by bounty hunters, while his bounty is less then half of its original worth is he still well known, not as much since the war ended but still enough to be careful whenever he travels through the lands. He's not a really selfish person and he often give away more then half of his money and food to peasants who might need it better. Ryuodo is no righteous man but he cannot watch others suffer withotu doing something, he's no Robin Hood as he steals mainly to survive himself but he won't turn away when someone needs food and money themselves.

the fact that he can apparently bend everything and your mother.. it's a start

and while we're weeding *peruses the profile again*

I'm sure Dragon is a prestigious military award..sort of like purple hearts...(nickname I can see people just going holy fucking shit look at his tattoo let us stare in awe ....it's bullshit)

they don't have garbage cans

how the hell did he hear about the break out? it's only been half a day tops since it even happened


Anyone else want to point out something I missed?
 
He's an old character I made when I first watched the first avatar episodes, I guess I made him a bit hardcore. Anyhow I will change the poitns you have pointed out. And he cannot bend everything, he has developed many ways of bending sub elements of earth, gems are like metal, purified earth, and plants are both part of earth and water, but I will remove most of it, gem and plant should be enough to remove.
 
I'm aware he can't bend everything.. I was exaggerating

also he isn't hardcore.. Jun ..the shrewvole riding assassin is hardcore.. Azula..is hardcore..... Iroh...that's right..you guess it .. is hard-fucking-core

Ryuodo is like you took all the bending you thought kicked ass and threw it together...thinking in a made up universe it would work

it doesn't

without training..he'd be like Aang when he first got into the Avatar state..powerful as hell during high amounts of stress but otherwise normal

Toph is the ONLY one who metalbends and that is only because she 'sees' the impurities in the metal NOT because she got lucky and stumbled upon it

Fiber does not equal earth

Gems..do not equal earth..minerals sure..but refined and static ergo they can not move..what you saw in Omashu was a natural occurrence in that particular edible crystal

..So speaks the Almighty Tallest UM
 
Bending protein is pretty messed up.

I mean, carbon, carbon I can kind of see.

But protein is the basic building block of life, there, buddy. Yikes.
 
Hahahaha sorry I mixed them together there for a short moment. But anyhow I have fixed it, and while I am sure that bending metal is very hard for those who cannot sense vibrations like our favorite blind bandit so do I have to point out that before Toph discovered how to bend metal did no one thing any could do it, but the nshe discovered how. And if she can bend metal, even if she's blind and sense vibrations, so can other learn to do so too through trial and error, it all depends on how to discover the right way to make the metal bend, as it is purified earth it needs a different approach.
 
I didn't say anyone else couldn't theoretically do it

but seriously..in a culture where that is thought as impossible...it'd probably take a couple lifetimes until non-blind earthbenders learned and mastered such a technique well enough that a guy as young as 21 could have it down pat..
 
I never said he has mastered it, he's still developing it, all he can do at the moment is make dents in iron, didn't I mention that in his bio? *checks it* Whoops, be right back.

EDITED: There all done.

other nit-picking

Smellerbee is two years older than your character..... which means your character was all of 13 when the war ended......

She actively went after Fire Nation troops with the rest of the Freedom Fighters during that time. When Zuko took the throne he pardoned a buttload of people. What battles she refers to after the war is from corrupt Earth Kingdom goons and rebels that have come across their path. Anyways my point is..at his age I highly fucking doubt he did something bad enough to still piss off the Fire Nation even after the war.

Him hiding (unless he's paranoid) doesn't make sense


....and the Four Nations are

Southern and Northern Water Tribes

Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Air Temples

Fire Nation

Earth Kingdom(not country like you said)
 
Who said anythign abotu the Fire Nation? It's the Earth Kingdom which has a bounty on him, while he fought the Fire Nation is he still a bandit and survives on stealing, he didn't steal from Earth people in the war because they had nothing to be taken, well except for the rich people. and now that the war is over he is robbing anyone who carries heavy coins, water and food. And since the war ended he has had many targets with the rising trade.
 
You don't mention him stealing from Earth Kingdom nobles...

you mention him stealing... not having a reason to steal from people who had nothing...and becoming an enemy to the Fire Nation during the war.

Then you move to him hiding out
 
Um he s hiding at the current time in a cavern, as in the current day, he's not hiding all the time, he's an active bandit so he's not hiding all the time. And his bio explains how he doesn't rob earth kingdom people, them having the fire nation sucking them dry, and well the nobles were always using guards for their travels during the war, well at least that what I figured, and while Ryuodo is a strong fighter is he also intelligent and not stupid enough to try and rob a person with over ten guards, most of them earth benders who might be able to neutralize his techniques.
 
still think that he'd have to keep robbing after the war to keep the bounty over his head... I mean it has been eight years... that's a long ass time to be hunted for something like robbery
 
Well he has been busy trying to survive and while he never kills anyone he robs will he kill if its in serious situations or self defense, and counting on how many years he has spent being hunted is the reason for his high bounty the fact that he has killed people for different reasons, be it rape, murder, self defense, duells (two or three earth benders have challenged him to death matches in earth bending, he honours the rules and does as the challenger requests and fought them to the death), breaking of a serious contract/trust (If he's betrayed by someone who he has a contract or trust with, if not for reasonable reasons he will kill the one who betrayed him, like for example someone hires him to steal a valuable object but attemtps to kill him when he delivers it breaks the contract and is killed) and mistakes. (Sometimes people get hit in the battles he's in, only three times has he injured/killed someone by mistake, but mosto f the time is it his enemies that kill those around him, but that's not always what the officials see in the situation and thinks he killed them all, well most of the time when there's no honest witnesses, or no witnesses at all.)
 
bounties tend to be hired out per crime or at the same times of several crimes close together.... over a period of years...if he hasn't been caught yet..then that means he probably has pissed off more than one person enough to put a bounty on his head

ergo various bounties
 
Bear in mind that, while The Earth Kingdom does have a capital city in Ba Sing Se, it is more of a confederacy than a single state. This is why there can be an Earth King in Ba Sing Se, and yet Omashu has a king of its own, Bumi, now a queen, Toph.

There's a variety of provinces involved here.

Thus, it becomes unlikely that a single bounty will have been posted by a single authority for all of the crimes that Ryuodo has committed, but instead a variety of bounties posted by the various provinces in which he has committed those crimes.

Unless he's such a grevious burden on the people of The Earth Kingdom that the army's full-on after him?
 
He's not in the arrow poitn of the army, nor does he bother most of the earth kingdom population, instead he's in deep with the nobles, merchants and traders of the entire kingdom. He has moved everywhere in the Earth Kingdom, never staying in one spot for too long. And has knowledge over vast amoutns of hidden areas and even ruins no one has seen before. Thus he has a lot of bounties on him because of his ways, not to mention the bounties put on him for the peole he has killed ,or assumingly killed.
