Azmot Tekanisho

Name: Azmot Tekanisho

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Heritage: Earth Kingdoms

Bender: Earth Bender; Metal Bending

Home: Republic City

Fighting Style: If Azmot is backed into a corner, his first attempt will be to find higher ground and to gain distance from his opponent. The higher he is, the harder it will be for his opponent to reach him, and the easier it will be to manipulate the Earth around him and the Metal on his body. He tries not to harm his opponent's too much, only trying to disarm them or restrain them due to his pacifistic nature. When assaulting someone at his full force, however, he will attempt to keep his attacks ranged, and when he is forced to attack in close combat, he will try to block attacks and scoot backwards. If he is to fight against a corner, he will use his Bending abilities to push his opponent's off of him.

Personality: A cautious and intelligent teen, this young man's wisdom precedes his age. Azmot is a mostly caring individual, and a pacifist at heart. He is weak hearted for animals and the meager, having some unconscious need to be a protector to those he cares for. This and his sense of justice is his sole motivation for living. He loathes his bending abilities, now that he no longer is able to join the force as he once wished. He has a particular affinity for things that are of a blue color, putting a favor on a choice that will lead him to that particular color. He enjoys long walks on the beach and is keen to a nice novel every once in a while. Though he has a slightly adept Earth Bending, he has always dreamed to be a Water Bender. He even carries around two rings that represent the fluid water that fills his soul.

Appearance: Azmot is an above average teen in terms of height, standing at his slouch at a 5'10 and fully erect at 6'1. His short, slightly spiky hair is over set on his mocha brown eyes, the glint that is created by the sun is blocked by the glasses that usually rest on his nose. These glasses allow him to see far away, but are not entirely necessary for him to do battle or for everyday life. His attire consists of a white collar shirt and black slacks, usually with a tie around his loosely drawn shirt. He carries two rings on his right hand, the gems inside blue, to represent his love for the water. These rings are also his weapon, so they are always present.



Strengths: Azmot has several affinities, though not all are very useful. He has the keen ability to read and learn things from text at a fast rate, and his speed seems to be exceptional. His defense, however, is his strongest trait, truly taking in the likeness of his bending abilities. Though not greatly adept in it, Azmot also has a slightly above average endurance.

Weaknesses:Though he seems to have a good amount of speed, Azmot's physical attacks are less than amazing. Though he hits with hard bending attributes, his focus on his attacks make his bending (outside of his weapon{s}) slightly more brittle than others. And though he is an adept learner, Azmot is socially awkward is some ways when it comes to new people, preferring to be hidden than to go out and make friends. In actuality, also, his weak heart makes him a hesitant fighter.

History: Azmot was born in Republic City, born into a family of Earth Benders. Azmot's father came from the Water Tribe, but his mother originated from the Kingdom of the Earth. He inherited his mother's ability to bend, but Azmot possesses the calm spirit of the Water Tribe. He grew up in a small home, sharing no siblings and was home schooled throughout his childhood. On the rare occasions he ventured outside, it was only to sit alone at a local playground and read in the open air. The one thing he read the most was about the Metal Bending Force, the benders of the Earth that serve for the Republican Guard.

When he turned 14, thanks to his parents lifelong savings for a better education, Azmot was enrolled into a Metal Bending Institute, one that accepted Earth Benders so that he could join the force. He spent three years of his life in this institute, becoming one of the top students in his class thanks to his abilities to learn. However, during his third and final year inside of the institute, the cash flow was unfortunatley halted when his parents died in an accident involving a Satomobile. And to his dismay, the owner of that car was never caught. That said, he was determined to join the force and find his parent's killer, and to uphold justice within the Republic City.

However, now that nothing supported him, he could no longer afford to stay at the institute. So, he was forced to leave, erasing all of his progress as an Earth Bender, and more importantly, a Metal bender. However, his teacher gave him to gifts out of pity and pride for his former student. The Ring of Excellence, a Metal Bender's ring that was awarded to the top 5 students of each year. Azmot's teacher was confident that Azmot would have earned the ring if he could have. The second was his own Ring, the Ring of Serpent's Stone, which was another Metal Bender's ring. This ring had been the teacher's first weapon as a bender on the streets, and Azmot's teacher was sure that the young boy would need them both. So, with that, Azmot was pushed into the open world, too old for a foster home and too young for a real job.

His story begins now.

Pictures:

Defense and endurance are practically the same thing in the context you use them. The ability to take and endure pain.

Just making sure you understood that.

Approved.

P.S Why are all (two of) us Earthbenders dysfunctional?
