Fantasy The Rebirth of a Nation (An Avatar: The Last AirBender RPG)

Kilbane was dying.

Every breath came slower and rougher, paining his broken ribs with every motion. His legs were mangled and burned so badly that the mere touch of the bed sheets on his singed flesh felt like a flaming boulder being forced upon them. His arms, though still intact, were also burned horribly, and his melted nose was stinging with the odor of burnt flesh. His eyes watered from the stench, and his salty tears ran into his stinging wounds. There was no way he would survive. He had to save the Cycle. But how could he do that?

There was one way.

"Gera," Kilbane croaked as loudly as he could. Nobody came. "Gera!" His larynx screamed in protest. No! No, it cried, let me be! Kilbane crushed its cries for mercy. "Gera!"

For a moment, there was still no answer, and Kilbane's heart sank. Was he truly dying alone? Then, a small voice responded, "Yes, father?" A boy, no older than four, had entered the room.

"Gera, my son," Kilbane said, "I am nearing the end." He shifted ever so slightly, as to gaze upon his son for what could be his last time. The boy looked just as Kilbane had at that age. His dark hair was messy and thick, for he had not yet received his tattoos. Kilbane felt a swell of pride as he saw his young son beholding his father's mangled and deformed body without so much as a hint of sadness in his large, blue eyes. "There is something I must do before I die."

"What is that, father," Gera said flatly, showing no fear or sorrow for his father's imminent demise.

"I need you to bring me that crystal," Kilbane instructed, motioning towards the large, white gem seated in the center of the room. Gera obeyed, lifting the gem onto the bed and placing his father's distorted hand on top.

"Why are you doing this, father?" Gera asked as he released Kilbane's hand.

Kilbane sighed deeply, an action that caused his chest to cry out in torment. "I need to preserve the reincarnation cycle," he said as he beheld the crystal next to him. "I had my seventh chakra opened when I was attacked, and if I die now, I fear the cycle may be broken."

Kilbane closed his eyes, and steadied his breathing. He concentrated, and unlocked his first chakra. He saw men, dressed in black, attacking him with balls of fire larger than himself. He willed the men away, and felt energy flow into his being.

He moved to the second, and was prepared for what he saw. He saw his bet friend, Ioda, fall dead at his feet with a burning hole in his chest, and a feeling of guilt rushed through him. He pushed the guilt aside, and looked closer at the scene, and saw a bottle of poison clutched in Ioda's hand. He had done Ioda a favor. The second chakra opened.

The third chakra greeted Kilbane with a vision of a younger version of himself, screaming at his mother in the market. He recognized the day his mother disowned him, and felt shameful. As he convinced himself it was the best thing to ever happen to him, the energy from the third chakra entered his body.

As he entered the fourth chakra, Kilbane saw his wife¹s body, and his will began to waiver. He pushed past it, and thought of Gera, how his son would always care for him, even after he was gone, and the fourth chakra opened.

Kilbane unlocked the fifth and sixth chakra almost as one, reminding himself of who he was and why he was on Earth, and readied himself for the most difficult test he had ever been forced to complete.

He approached the seventh chakra, and entered its realm. All around him he saw the cosmos, swirling with images of his family, friends, and teachers, speaking in garbled tones that Kilbane couldn't understand. He walked foreword, towards what appeared to be the end of the universe, and was greeted with a giant silhouette of himself, eyes and tattoos glowing with the spiritual energy of everything in the universe. The images of his friends flitted around behind him, growing louder and louder as he met the glowing eyes of the giant figure ahead of him. Behind the giant, thousands of people appeared, dressed in white robes that swirled around them in some unse

 

Okay, here are some characters I will control in order to advance the plot:

-Name: Avatar Kilbane
-Age: 39 at time of death
-Gender: Male at time of death
-Affiliation: Avatar
-Bending Discipline: None (bending does not work in the Spirit Realm)

-Appearance: Kilbane appears as he did before the time of his death. He was a thin, pale man, whose robes always appeared too big for his body. Had his head not been shaved, he would have possessed thick chocolate hair that always appeared unkempt and knotted. He had icy blue eyes that seemed to dig into whatever they looked at. His body was adorned with ornate, traditional tattoos that harkened back to his ancestral heritage as an Air Nomad. They were blue arrows that ran along his spine up to his forehead, and branched off onto his arms and legs, ending on the backs of his hands and tops of his feet. He rarely wore shoes, preferring to be barefooted in order to "hear" the earth he was bending.

As Kilbane is now a member of the Spirit Realm, he can take any form he pleases when visiting the mortal world. This can range from a ball of light to a speaking animal. The only limit is the time of day, for the sun weakens spirits who visit the mortal world.

-Personality: As a natural AirBender, Kilbane was an honest, peaceful person. He cared for the earth and all its inhabitants, and preferred a nonviolent resolution to a problem rather than settling differences with combat.

-Biography: Kilbane was born moments after the death of Avatar Ingàtriesú as the next incarnation of the ancient spirit. As a teenager, he was told of his destiny to become the Avatar, and embraced it wholeheartedly. His mother, a traditional Air Nomad, was forcefully opposed to allowing her son to pursue his calling, and disinherited him as a consequence for his disobedience. Now with no ties to home, Kilbane was free to study the bending disciplines under the greatest masters of his time, and soon became one of the most famous Avatars in history. As his powers reached their peak, Kilbane became aware of the rising threat of The Purists, but his diplomatic tendencies did nothing to keep the problem from growing worse. By the time Kilbane decided to act, it was too late. The small resistance force Kilbane had scrounged up was utterly crushed by a group of leading Purist officers, and Kilbane was struck down while in the Avatar State. In order to give future generations a fighting chance, Kilbane sealed a piece of his soul in a crystal that would transfer the spirit of the Avatar into whoever touched it if the circumstances demanded it. When the four students touched the crystal, his spirit was called to them, and he knew he needed them to act sooner than he did, or it would be too late for them as well.





And now, the main villain:



-Name: Focalor Mokoto
-Age: 27
-Gender: Male
-Affiliation: Purist
-Bending Discipline: Fire

-Appearance: The stress of leading the entire Purist regime has given Focalor an appearance of one much older than he really is. His dark hair is beginning to grey, and his face is already wrinkling and sagging. His green eyes carry a hollow, empty look that makes one feel almost sorry for him. He prefers dark, ominous clothing, opting for black trench coats and slacks no matter the occasion. He wears a black glove on his dominant left hand to hide an ugly burn scar he received once when he spoke back to his father.

-Personality: Although Focalor appears as a vacant shell of a man, he is really quite the opposite. Inside his somber shielding, he hides a maniacal genius. He gets a twisted sense of satisfaction when he sees human suffering and pain, and makes no attempt to feel compassion for the feelings of others. He would rather watch you burn where you stand than hear you out, and his impatience just may make those desires a reality.

-Biography: Son of Laure Mokoto, Focalor inherited the Purist throne at the age of 17, when Laure passed away unexpectedly. Descended from

-Name: Calen "Cal" Omar
-Age: 16
-Gender: Male
-Affiliation: Avatar
-Bending Discipline: *~ALL~*
-Appearance;
--Physical: Shoulder length black hair(is occasionally pushing it out of his face), somewhat pale skin(usually doing something indoors, unless he's swimming), his eyes are dark blue in color(though they lighten up near the pupil), overall he has somewhat of a swimmer's build given his single outdoor hobby.
--Clothing: A blue t-shirt with a random humorous print, black jeans, and a black with white wavish designs hoodie jacket.
-Personality: Suspicious of people at first, but loyal to those he calls friend.

-Biography: Save for one event Calen's childhood was much like any others save for his habit as he got older to spend more time inside on some hobby or another than outside. This would eventually reach a point in which out of concern his parents had him take on an outdoor sport or hobby just to get him outdoors. Discovering swimming Calen later decided, was far better than his favorite video games much to his parents at the time relief. Now in high school Calen has grown up somewhat, even more so after what just happened at the archeology dig site he and the others visited. And here he thought the pressures of high school were bad...

Name: Chandler Billings
-Age: 19
-Gender: Male
-Affiliation: Avatar
-Bending Discipline: Water
-Appearance: http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/X/XX/XXT/XXTWILGHTMOONXX/1224936404_7043_full.jpeg
-Personality: Usually calm and reserved, but sometimes even the smallest thing can set him off and he can be very emotional but at the same time comforting and supportive. He is very fluid in his thoughts, and when one obstacle rises he finds the quickest and easiest way around it, able to adapt quickly.
-Biography: Born in Northern New York in the U.S. Chandler was very much like the element he was skilled at manipulating, an element that had been a long time secret in his family that only a few select people have ever been able to harness. Chandler learned at an early age he had an affinity for bending water to his will, making the water around him swirl, even leap out and whip at people, and on some occasions, usually when he was working in the yard at home in the hot summer, make it freeze and cool him off. He even managed to harness the water in plants, a feet fairly difficult to acquire, this he used more to help the plants around him, having a bit of a green thumb as he did. After the advent of the 'war on terror' Chandler had begun to sense that something was off, everything seemed too...sudden? No, sudden wasn't right, but it did feel planned, and all too silent, at least at the beginning, but the aftermath was loud, full of hatred and chaos, it set him so far off that he couldn't handle it, he ended up shutting himself out of the noise and focused more on perfecting his waterbending skills. Something about the entire ordeal made him feel as though there were some individual pulling the strings of a giant puppet, causing these massive schisms in the people of the world, setting it up to be swallowed up in the destruction to come. By sixteen he had mastered the ability to form orbs of water, small tidal waves, and even water and ice based weaponry, if the war were to come to his country, he'd be there to fight it off with the powers granted to him. Now Chandler is a master of fairly large scale water manipulation even learning how to harness the moisture in the air to make fog,and learning how to suck the moisture from living things as well, an ability he'd only ever use as a last resort. Living on the St. Lawrence River he also has a lot of practice material, to the great annoyance of some of the wild life and several small water craft, but needless to say no one has quite found out the cause of the sudden shifts in the water levels whenever he practices. He waits to see what the cause of this mess is, waiting for some message to tell him what he must do, and who he must fight against.

-Well-Kept Secrets: For only being nineteen he has already mastered the most complex techniques of waterbending, going so far as to make a hidden underwater fortress out of ice in the depths of the St. Lawrence River.

 

GM HOUSEKEEPING

I still need 3 Avatars and at least 1 more original character (preferably a member of The Purists) before I can start us up. IF you know of anyone who would enjoy playing, or if you want to take another character, please do what you need to. Thanks!

 

2nd Character GM Approved

-Name: Toshiro Hasegawa
-Age: 18
-Gender: Male
-Affiliation: Avatar
-Bending Discipline: ALL, first manifested was fire.
-Appearance: http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/8/5/6/f_Anime299m_d02f7ad.gif
-Personality: A bit of a rambunctious kid in his youth Toshiro was frequently he has always been very energetic and expressive, he does have a very short fuse however that is easily lit.
-Biography: Toshiro was born Kyoto, Japan prior to his family moving to San Fransisco five years afterward. He ended up going to a high school in San Fran with three other individuals who he instantly bonded with becoming close friends with. One day they decided to investigate a dig site that had just appeared not too far away and was already turning up some unique artifacts, so it was only natural that four curious teenagers go and investigate it themselves. When they entered the site Toshiro was instantly drawn toward a chamber deep inside the caverns, the cavern held a bright gem and Toshiro immediately approached it, he and the other three students got slammed with power, and the first thing Toshiro remembered afterward was feeling as though he were on fire, and in fact his hands were, but there was no burning, no smoke, and it twisted around as though it were his to control. He ended up rushing home a bit freaked out, but upon meeting back up with the others the next day he realized things were definitely different, and he was going to have to be very careful with how he handled things from now on, and keep a strong eye open as to these 'purists' that sought to bring chaos to the world.

 

OOC: Just saying this after seeing chan's CS, Cal's first manifested bending attribute was water, though I left hints to that.

 

MORE HOUSEKEEPING

We now have two spaces left for players looking to control Avatars, as we have had an applicant for the Purist position. However, feel free to enter an original bender or another Purist if you don't feel like playing as an Avatar. I'm hoping to start playing around mid-afternoon on Sunday, 4/4/10 (USA Eastern time). Get those sheets in!

-Name: Kira Sarken
-Age: 25
-Gender: Female
-Affiliation: Purist(Enforcer/Hunter)
-Bending Discipline: Air
-Appearance;
--Physical: Dark near black hair with the occasional streak of red falls down to just below the shoulders, the storm gray eyes common to most airbenders with slightly tanned Caucasian skin tones. Overall gymnast build.
--Clothing: Ankle-length black trench coat with matching shirt, pants, and shoes.
-Personality: Cunning and Relentless when on a mission, cheerful, almost carefree when not.

-Biography: Kira was found much younger than most of the benders the Purist search for in the "normal" population at the age of just barely over one. Her natural talent became readily apparent not long after her first lessons a few years later, eventually leading to her being called a prodigy and moved to private lessons and instruction a year later. She reached the level of airbender mastery at the age of 14, the youngest non-avatar airbender to do so according the history scrolls. By the age of 20 she had mastered much of her non-bending training as well, and was quickly given a position as a high ranking enforcer, whose main task was among other things to hunt down the occasional rogue or deserter and serve as a sort of Purists secret police. Now she is currently one of the most high ranked people in her division, taking orders from the upper echelon of the organization.

 

GM Approved.

CHARACTER SHEET:

-Name: Kyuuka Okibi
-Age: 17
-Gender: male
-Affiliation: (Avatar or Purist?) Avatar
-Bending Discipline: Fire
-Appearance: Kyuuka has a Athletic build. He is very agile due to training. He has pale skin, and brown eyes. He has short brown messy hair. His preferred clothing is a themed t-shirt, and blue jeans.
-Personality: Kyuuka is kind hearted, but has a fiery temper. He is seen by many as volatile.
-Biography: Kyuuka was born in America to two Japanese-American citizens. Both his parents were Japanese but they had become American citizens when they moved over from Japan. Kyuuka learned both English, and Japanese when he was young so that he could communicate with both Americans, and Japanese alike. In school he worked a lot as a translator to a bunch of other Japanese students who didn't know the language as well.

Growing up Kyuuka always felt different from all the rest of the kids. He always felt that he didn't fit in very well. Part of it was being Asian, but he felt it was more then that. It seemed more physical then anything else. He always felt like there was a fire burning within him. This fire made him angry often and he would find himself lashing out at people. To help him with this problem he took up martial arts. But the fire continued to grow inside of him.

As the problem continued, and Kyuuka began to feel the fire consuming him he met one of the Purists. A fire bender. The man told him that the fire he was feeling inside of him was his natural, and strong connection to fire. The man brought him to the Purists where he was trained to manipulate the fire. Later when they wanted him to join them he couldn't in good conscious say yes. He had seen some of the things they had done. Since he refused to work for him they locked him up instead.

 

GM NOTICE

Thanks to an intervention by the dreaded DRL, I wasn't able to start the game last week (or for the entire week afterwords, for that matter). However, it was a blessing in disguise, since we still have two spaces left that must be filled before we can begin.

IF YOU WISH TO FILL ONE OF THE TWO REMAINING SPOTS AS AN AVATAR, PLEASE PM ME YOUR SHEET TO ME NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14th!

Cheers!

 

GM IS ANGRY!

Oaky, so I've had no takers for the last two Avatar positions, so here's how this is going to work.

I'm going to create 2 characters that will be open for anyone willing to take them. Here they are now:


Character #1

-Name: Tyler MacFarland
-Age: 17
-Gender: Male
-Affiliation: Avatar
-Bending Discipline: *~ALL~* (first discovered Earth)
-Appearance: Tyler is the stereotypical football jock. He has thick arms, little to no neck depending on your personal opinion, and a thick torso. He has the typical ?LAX-Bro flow? hairstyle that most of his teammates have adopted as well, although it looks a bit odd with his near-white blonde hair. He has green eyes that he keeps hidden behind thick, heavy prescription eyeglasses that make it hard for him to play his sports without a serious handicap. Tyler favors clothes that allow him to move freely, such as sweatpants and loose-fitting tees. He wears casual shoes made by athletic companies, but he favors Nike brand products.
-Personality: Tyler thinks more of himself than he should. He loves being the center of attention, and he loves to boost his ego. If you show any sign of weakness in front of him, he?ll crush you like a bug.
-Biography: Tyler lived a relatively normal life until he found the gem. He grew up in Missouri, playing football and lacrosse at every age level possible. He moved in sixth grade, continuing his sports career in his new town at a nearby high school. When Tyler?s history class visited a local dig site, and he found the gem with the others (who he always privately considered geeks), his whole life changed. His first clue that something was abnormal was when the ground wrapped his ankles in an attempt to keep him steady while he was holding the offensive line in a football game. He tried to follow his block, but his legs were stuck in the ground. When he had gotten free, Tyler was upset with himself. Then, he had the dream about Avatar Kilbane, and decided to take his new powers seriously. Now, he is ready to do whatever it takes to prevent the world?s end, even if it means working with the geeks.


Character #2

-Name: Betti Le Toux
-Age: 15
-Gender: Female
-Affiliation: Avatar
-Bending Discipline: *~ALL~* (first discovered Air)
-Appearance: Betti is quite small for her age, topping off at 5?2?. She is thin and flexible from her ballet training. She has black hair, which she usually keeps pulled back in a ponytail, and blue eyes. She is in on all the new styles and fashion trends, wearing clothes from brands such as AE and Abercrombie.
-Personality: Betti is a very chipper person, who enjoys smiling and laughing with as many people as possible. She hates being alone, and is always seen surrounded by a gaggle of her friends and admirers. She finds people her own age boring, and tends to hang out with older students.
-Biography: Betti was always the popular girl, bouncing from boyfriend to boyfriend since late grade school. As a child, she practiced ballet, but grew tired of it but third grade. Now, in high school, Betti has dated an older member of nearly every sports team in the school, but was unattached when she encountered the gem. After blowing her brother out the window with a sneeze, Betti knew something was wrong. Almost perfectly on-cue, Avatar Kilbane appeared to her in a dream and explained everything. Betti happily started training with Kilbane?s spiritual guidance, becoming the first of the new Avatars to master the Avatar State.


Feel free to play as one of these characters. We start tomorrow, so they won?t be involved in any part of the story until they are active. Each character?s ?Well-Kept Secret? will be Pmd to you when you apply for the position. Can?t wait to start playing!

 

All right, no takers yet. Remember that those two characters are up for grabs still!

And now, we can begin!

Focalor Mokoto
Purist Headquarters

Focalor took a deep breath. He felt his chi begin to settle, and he knew he was ready. Taking a step forwards, he thrust his fist straight out, launching an enormous fireball at group of men standing across the room. One jabbed the flames with his fist, extinguishing them, and the sparring began. Focalor jumped and flipped away from various attacks from all four bending disciplines, slowly and methodically disabling his many opponents until he had whittled them down to just two.

The only other benders remaining were a man and a woman, EarthBender and AirBender respectively. With two swift movements, Focalor brushed aside the man?s offensive movement and delivered a scorching blow to his side. Ducking quickly, Focalor felt a tuft of his hair get cut off by a razor-sharp AirBending strike. Twisting around, he cracked his ankle across the woman?s face, sending her tumbling to the ground.

?We are done here,? Focalor said coolly as he stood up and admired his work. Strewn across the chamber were unconscious and semi-conscious benders starting to receive attention from WaterBenders with healing abilities. Smiling, he made his way over to Kira Sarken, the AirBender woman who he had just kicked in the face. ?My dear, I hope I didn?t damage that beautiful face of yours.? Focalor helped her to her feet and placed a hand on her shoulder. ?I have a job for you,? he said to Kira. ?I must speak with you privately.? Putting an arm around Kira, he led her away to his private chambers.

Avatar Kilbane
Spirit Realm

Kilbane?s eyes snapped open. A strong ripple in the elemental balance had disturbed his meditation. They are moving, he thought to himself, I must warn the young ones. Rising to his feet, Kilbane looked around the jungle-like terrain of the Spirit Realm. To the north laid the lair of Koh, the Face-Stealer. Kilbane shuddered as he looked at the great tree on the horizon that housed the enormous centipede-like spirit. ?Hei Bai!? Kilbane shouted. Where was he?

?Hey,? came a voice from Kilbane?s left, ?can you keep it down? Some of us are meditating!? Kilbane looked over at the monkey-like spirit who was sitting cross-legged on the roots of another giant tree.

?Sorry, Enma,? Kilbane said, ?I?m just looking for Hei Bai.?

?That loping fool?? Enma said grumpily, ?I haven?t seen him anytime soon, due to the fact that I?m MEDITATING!? He shut his eyes and began reciting an unnecessarily loud mantra.

Kilbane laughed and started walking towards the portal. Upon arriving, he found an enormous panda bear seated under a shrine. ?Hei Bai,? Kilbane said happily as he approached the bear, ?I?ve been looking for you.? Kilbane climbed onto Hei Bai?s back. ?Take me to the young Avatars,? he said.

Hei Bai grunted, and leaped off of the shrine. Instantly, Kilbane was in the mortal world, outside a house. He dismounted Hei Bai and stepped through the door. Being intangible, Kilbane passed through the wood with ease, and glided up the stairs and through a bedroom door. He now stood over Calen Omar, who was sound asleep. Placing his first two fingers on Calen?s forehead, he merged their entities and reached out to the others.

They appeared in the same chamber where they had received their powers, the one now missing from the dig site in the city?s downtown park. Calen was there, and so were Toshiro Hasegawa, Tyler MacFarland, and Betti Le Toux, the other young adults who had been given Kilbane?s powers.

Kilbane reached out even further and latched onto the dreams of the (two) natural benders he had chosen to assist the Avatars. There was Chandler Billings the WaterBender, and the FireBender Kyuuka Okibi who had been trained by the Purists. He would be

 

IC: Kira Sarken
Purist Headquarters,
Outside Focalor's Office

The meeting had been... Interesting? Informative?

Perhaps it was both. Yes, that certainly fit this new information. Apparently the scouts had been missing more benders than previously assumed, or ever recorded for that matter. Though he hadn't said so or even mentioned it, Kira suspected the blame would lie somewhere amongst possible changes in the spirit world, which Kira herself had never seen.

Regardless of reason, she had a new mission now. To hunt down one of the ever increasing benders the scouts had initially missed. Reaching her personal quarters, which were more extensive than most given her rank, Kira opened the folder she had been given once more, her eyes automatically first moving to the primary information regarding name, gender, age, and most important, bending element.

Waterbender...

Waterbender. A smile formed on Kira's face. Being an airbender herself, a fight with a waterbender, when it came to it, tended to be an entertaining one more often than not.

Northern New York...

Northern New York? Well she had a plane to catch. First of course she sent a message to the Purist outpost in the region so as to have her gear available on arrival, before leaving so as to catch her flight. Looking down at the picture presented in the file she smirked.

Chandler Billings, here I come...

Tag: any applicable
OOC: Will continue this tomorrow, as well as Calen's first post at the same time.

 

IC: Toshiro Hasegawa

Toshiro awoke from his dream feeling very disgruntled, apparently two natural benders had been targeted by the Purist, one of whom he knew as Kyuuka, a friend of his from school, the other he did not recognize but did realize he was in danger. "As if school wasn't hard enough now I have to help save the world, and protect these other benders." he groaned as he rolled out of bed and got dressed for school. He rushed downstairs and ate a quick breakfast before rushing out the front door and taking his bike to school. Toshiro didn't even know who this Chandler guy was, but he was praying that he'd be able to fend for himself, there wasn't any way that he'd be able to make it to New York by the time the Purists got there first. What he did know, is that if he was going to be able to get either this Chandler person and Kyuuka back, he'd need the help of his fellow Avatars. When he finally reached the school he immediately approached the nearest one he could find, Calen Omar.

"Hey Calen, we need to talk." Toshiro said pulling on the Avatar's arm. "I need your help to get us all to New York, Kyuuka is probably taken already, but we still have a chance to get that Chandler dude Kilbane mentioned last night." Toshiro said. "I don't want to nix the idea of getting Kyuuka, but if he has been taken already I don't think we're quite ready to take on seasoned Purist agents, at least Chandler's isolated enough that they'll have to hunt him down." he added. "Any thoughts on the matter, or do you think we should go talk to Tyler and Betti as well?" he asked, this entire time he was speaking very hurriedly yet quietly so as not to be overheard by any passerby.

IC: Calen Omar

"-you think we should go talk to Tyler and Betti as well?"

Calen paused briefly to think for a moment before replying, "It would be best to get the others involved, either for more thinking power, or if all else fails greater brute force." Calen finished with a grin, before looking at the time and continued, "I have swim practice in five minutes, after that we should be able to meet up."

Grabbing his bag from where he had rested it on the ground, Calen, or Cal, nodded to Toshiro before running off to the lockers.

IC: Kira Sarkin
[i]Northern New York[/i]

Her flight had managed to arrive a few minutes early and so she was more or less on her self-made schedule in regards to her mission, which was good. After exiting the airport she met up with a lower level Purist agent who gave her a ride to the local supply building, which was essentially a small warehouse. Once there she picked out a vehicle for her current mission, and she didn't need to grab anything else, as she had packed it all ahead.

Being an airbender, she grabbed the most mobile, and agile piece available. This of course meant the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14, with a black coat of paint. The bike was a speed demon normally, but add in airbending removing much of the wind resistance, and Kira was essentially shooting up the highway and dodging traffic well over 200 MPH. Needless to say she made very good progress.

When she first arrived in the general area, she parked the bike just around the corner from her target's last known address, and decided to start with the simple approach. A few people nearby were giving her looks of suspicion, but in the end it really didn't matter. She adjust her sunglasses, metallic silver for the bands, with a bluish tint for the lens, and walked swiftly around the corner and across the street, before selecting the appropriate house and knocking on the front door.

IC: Chandler Billings

Chandler heard a knock at the door, getting up from the computer in the living room he went to go answer it, looking through the peep hole he saw an unfamiliar woman standing there. "Not a missionary, not one of mom's coworkers, hmm." Chandler said. He felt very uneasy, this wasn't someone from around here either, not a delivery person of any kind, and definitely didn't look the part of anyone who'd come to see him or his mother. He turned on the sink in the kitchen and took a large quantity of water and formed it into an imperceptible shape behind him, just in case this proved to be nasty. He then reached for the door and opened it slightly, prepared at any moment to slam it and bolt it shut once more.

"Yes, this is the Billings residence, how may I help you?" Chandler said his eyes narrowed and calculating, sizing up the situation to the best of his ability. This woman was definitely older than anyone his sister would know either, and he knew for certain she wasn't some remote relative coming in for a visit. "If you're looking for my mother she's at work, you'd be better off coming at a later time." he added he then slowly moved the water he had built up and moved it behind the door and then poised it to strike if this stranger made even the slightest questionable move.

IC: Toshiro Hasegawa

Toshiro waited for a while after school was over waiting for the others to show up, he sat out in the lobby and eventually nodded off as the boredom of waiting set in. He then entered a bit of a trance going into the depths of his mind and entering a quasi-avatar state. He saw a small neighborhood full of ranch style houses, he saw a strange woman standing in front of one of them apparently attempting to speak with the person inside. Then he saw just how out of place she looked, she was dressed like someone from the city in a small rural area town, something just didn't mesh well here, but Toshiro couldn't figure it out. After this 'vision' Toshiro woke up, wondering what was going on, and who that woman could have been, or where she was for that matter, the area was a lot different than where they were from, the Avatars that is, the only place he could think it was was New York, something about the way it felt, and the fact that they knew someone in New York was in danger made him feel all the more certain. "We need to do something fast, but what?" he whispered to himself. "I really hope the others get here soon, things are going to get worse if we don't act fast." he added rousing himself even more.

Cal, to his own surprise, found himself to be the first to arrive at the meeting point. Other than Toshiro of course. Sliding into a nearby chair he turned himself to face his fellow Avatar. "So, any ideas on how to cut school with minimal punishment?"

[i] "If you're looking for my mother she's at work, you'd be better off coming at a later time." [/i]

A less attentive agent would have believed this one to be either naive or too trusting. However Kira didn't get to her position by being inattentive, quite the opposite, and so she picked up the sound of a nearby sink running. Normally when someone was washing their hands or doing something else in relation to a sink and there was a knock at the door they would turn off the sink before answering.

But this was a [i]waterbender[/i], and for a careful waterbender, it would only be natural to want a ready bending source. If she was right, chances were that there was a building water source on the other side of the door.

"Your mother? Ah, I'm afraid you misunderstand. I am here looking for a Chandler Billings, is that by chance yourself?" Of course he was, but he didn't necessarily know that she had studied an entire file about him on the plane flight here.

IC: Chandler Billings

"I'm sorry, but whatever you're here for I'm sure I'm not interested, you don't even remotely look like anyone I would cavort with, so if you don't mind I'd appreciate it if you left." Chandler said, his tone as cold as the ice crystals forming behind the door behind him, prepared to stab out should the woman try anything. "I don't know what you want with me, but I am not about to go off with anyone I am unfamiliar with, especially when they are so clearly not someone I know. I mean honestly, you're in a rural area, why would you dress so metropolitan? You're the sorest thumb I've ever seen and I know no one from any city that would want anything to do with me, or I them." he added, he then closed the door and went to the other room, keeping the water with him, ready to strike at the slightest wrong move.

"Well I could think of one way, but they'd have to build a new math wing to the school." Toshiro said grinning broadly. "But no, on a more serious matter I could easily give myself the appearance of a fever, they'd have to let me go, plus my folks are both busy at work, I could convince them to let you take me home." he added more realistically. "You have any ideas?" he added looking up at his compatriot.

Earth Bending Purist Approved! Look out Avatars!

-Name: Nathan Toohey
-Age: 35
-Gender: Male
-Affiliation: Purist
-Bending Discipline: Earth
-Appearance: He stands at about six feet and four inches and is rather muscular, his skin is tanned from the many times he stays outside and perfects his earth bending. His head is shaven bald, though a small layer of hair might be there if he hasn't done it in awhile. Green snake tattoos cover his back and slither around both of his arms, the heads of the snakes end right after his elbows. He usually wears a black sleeveless shirt and brown cargo pants but that can change for what ever situation he's in.
-Personality: Like most Earth Benders, Nathan can be patient; unless you make him angry, he usually is rough and uncaring of those he hurts.
-Biography: Born in England, Toohey lived his early life with no idea of the power he had. He joined the military as soon as he could, leaving the rough neighborhood in which he grew up. He joined up with the S.A.S. and was quickly thrown into combat. It was there that he discovered his powers when he accidently made a rock wall to protect himself. He was then quickly discovered by the Purists who stole him away and trained him in the bending ways. He is now one of the strongest earth benders alive and one of the best operatives for the Purists. He constantly works to perfect his bending, he has already mastered bending Earth, Steel, and Sand.

-Well-Kept Secrets: Nathan has a wife and child in England, a fact that he tries to keep hidden from the Purists though maybe some know. He keeps the fact that his five year old son is an Earth Bender secret from the Purists as well.

 

GM UPDATE: Sorry for my absence (dreaded DRL). We have finally filled all the necessary positions, thanks to RuneEisahn, who will be playing as both Tyler and Betti. Now I can finally get down to business.

Focalor Mokoto
Purist Headquarters

Focalor sat calmly in the enormous boardroom, dealing with the generals and grunts who felt they needed to take his time to ask him about this, that, and the other thing. Amongst them was Nathan Toohey, the best EarthBender available to the Purists at the present time. Nathan had said little throughout the meeting, sitting back in his chair in a relaxed manner, eyes flitting from person to person as the conversation changed hands.

?What we need are more recruits,? one man said, thumping the table with his fist. ?We?ve been struggling to find new blood for the cause lately.?

?No, Luobo, that?s not it!? shouted another man from close to Focalor?s left. ?We need more distinguished officers first.?

?Junta,? Luobo said impatiently, ?there?s something you?re not quite getting. In order for there to be more officers, there need to be more recruits!?

Junta gnashed his teeth. ?We wouldn?t need more recruits if there were enough officers to keep the ones we have from slipping away like that kid did last month.?

Focalor exhaled sharply. Instantly, the room was silent. Junta had dredged up the first recorded fault in Purist history: the escape of Kyuuki Okibi. Something needed to be done in order to get that kid back in the system before he gave away too much information. Focalor thought for a moment. He had already sent Kira to find the WaterBender boy, but she may need help finding Kyuuki.

Standing up slowly, Focalor rested his emerald eyes on Toohey. ?Nathan,? he said, ?you remember Kyuuki Okibi? Go find him. Bring him back, dead or alive.? He swept his gaze across the boardroom. ?Meeting adjourned,? he ordered. The members of the meeting stood and bowed before leaving. Focalor swept his coat in a flourish and returned to his office, sending Kira a text message letting her know she would be receiving backup.

Avatar Kilbane
School Building

It was sunny outside, causing Kilbane?s wing feathers to grow hot and uncomfortable. He flapped twice and swooped down towards Calen Omar and [/b]Toshiro Hasegawa[/b]. Alighting next to them, he made no attempt to remain inconspicuous. ?You two,? he said quickly, ?come with me.? While a talking Great Horned Owl was well out of place, it was more important that the young men understand the urgency. Kilbane fluttered about two meters up before gliding around to the other side of the school, where he had already collected Tyler MacFarland and Betti Le Toux. He landed on Tyler?s shoulder, and spoke quickly.

?I must hurry, the sun make me weak,? he said. ?The Purists are moving to capture the two young men I showed to you last night, and as we speak one is in danger. Follow my trail and assist him.? Kilbane leaped from Tyler?s shoulder and sped off into the sky, in the direction of Chandler Billings. Behind him, he left a trail of spiritual energy he knew only the Avatars would see. ?Hurry!? he shouted.

Arriving quickly at Chandler?s house, Kilbane saw a woman standing outside conversing with the young man. Kilbane needed to stall. Swooping down he mad a pass over the woman?s head. His energy levels gave out, and his soul was called back to the Spirit Realm. As he was transported back, he saw the owl?s body thud to the ground. I pray they make it, he said to himself.

Nathan Toohey - Purist Headquaters
The large man sat with his large tattooed arms crossed over his chest, looking at the squabbling Purists before him. His thoughts drifted to his family in England, he had to talk to Focalor about them sometime; but he didn't want for his family to have to be ripped from their homes and moved to the hidden Purist city, not yet at least.

"Nathan," He blinked as he was ripped from his thought as his name was called, his green eyes moved to Focalor to see why he had been called. ?you remember Kyuuki Okibi? Go find him. Bring him back, dead or alive.? A silent grunt came from his lips as he sat up straight and thought about the mission he was just assigned. He looked up at his Fire-Bending leader and nodded; fully accepting his orders.

He stood up form his chair as Focalor ending the meeting, he bowed his head to him before heading out the door; a few of the lower ranking Purists giving him the way out of respect. His thoughts turned back to the old Purist leader, Focalor's late father, he remembered how he had shown interest in Nathan's training as an Earth-Bender when he had first arrived. He soon shook the distracting thoughts from his head and started walking away from the scene of the meeting.

It didn't take him long to get on one of the Purist's private jets and start heading towards New York, he had already formed a plan for the situation and was thinking of a few backups. He heard a laugh from the other side of the plane and saw two Earth-Benders there, two of his students, whom he had brought along to help on this mission. His hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a brown leather wallet and flipped open the front flap with his thumb, revealing a picture of his son. A grin came over the large man's face before he put the wallet away folded his hands over his chest and closed his eyes. He had already called ahead to New York to make sure they had everything ready for his arrival.

Nathan Toohey - New York
A Purist operative had come to pick Nathan and his team up at the Airport, it didn't take them long to reach the warehouse. Inside was all the things that Nathan had asked for, a cement mixing truck and a orange pick-up truck with construction tools. He and his students got into the vehicles and started driving out to the town in which Chandler Billings was supposed to live. Nathan then pulled out his phone and called Kira, making sure that everything was going okay, but more importantly, making sure the target was still there.

IC: Chandler Billings

Chandler heard the owl fly past and fall dead at his doorstep, being part Iroquois he was a little freaked out, hearing an owl was one thing, having one fall dead at your door step, even worse he instantly jumped back up and pulled on all the water he could around him, bursting the pipes in the house, causing the water in the pool behind his house to surge forth, and the water in the sewers below the street to do the same, focusing intensely he rolled the mass of water around until he had enough to make a solid barricade around his home using another bunch to push the strange woman away, adding spikes and other little offensive parts to it as he could. By the time he was done there was a massive dome of solid ice, spiked and ready to hold off anyone that would dare attack. 'I knew she couldn't be trusted.' Chandler added with a scowl as he prepared for the battle to begin. No doubt though she would be calling in for help in no time.

IC: Toshiro Hasegawa

"So Betti, think you can get us all in the air, or can you think of a faster way to the other side of the country?" Toshiro asked. "We need speed and the fastest route is by air." Toshiro said anxiously. "The rest of us could use some more practice in the other elements anyway, the only question is what to do for cover, I have an idea for that too, nothing says incoming Avatars than a massive storm cloud, firebending, waterbending, and airbending." Toshiro said. "But again, speed is kinda of necessity folks." he added hurriedly as he began stretching ready to do his part to get them there ASAP.

IC: Betti Le Toux

Betti looked at Toshiro in a curious manner. "Can I get you in the air? Well of course silly! Although, what you do in the air is not up to me." she giggled. "Did any of you remember that trail Avatar Kilbane left?? I know I didn't! Hehe." she said. She looked up towards the sky. "Oh, then we could make it a game!" she exclaimed, jumping up in the air, although she flew a little higher than most people.

IC: Tyler MacFarland

Tyler watched Betti and her never ending excitement/happiness. It was cute, although now they needed to get to business. "Toshiro, since we all have some measure of experience with airbending, we could be there probably within a minimum of an hour and a half. Maybe less, if we all pitch in enough energy. Our main priority is to save this Billings dude. Besides, I wanna kick some Purist butt." he said, stomping his foot, and watched as a small tremor of the earth waved away from him.

"The storm would be best once we reach New York, then we go one at a time, not all at once, for in order to catch them off guard, they must think there are only one, maybe two Avatar's left in the world. Letting them no of more would be dangerous. So we should split up. Two of us could go rescue this Billings kid, the others rescus the Firebender. It makes sense."

"Good plan. Cal, you come with me to deal with the problem in New York, Betti, Tyler, you deal with Kyuuki. It's best to keep a good balance in teams, fire and water, air and earth." he said. "Let's move out." with that Toshiro launched himself into the air, mixing air and firebending, as well as using earthbending to give himself and added jump sent him faster than most rockets, he was in the air and over the cloud layer in no time, if anyone did see him congrats to them. He then began his race to New York, praying they weren't too late.
