Dislikes:

Skills:
Earth and stone levitation: The most common attack involves levitating nearby pieces of earth and stone of numerous sizes and propelling them at foes with punching or kicking motions.

Rock shield: A levitated slab of rock can also double as a shield when positioned in front of Him. This can also be performed with a slab or sheet of bedrock thrust out of the earth's surface. The shield can be hurled at the opponent for quick retaliation.

Quicksand:He can turn the ground to quicksand to immobilize an enemy, or to create a soft landing for his self should he fall from a height. He can also do the reverse of this.

Earth gauntlet: A much less advanced version of earth armor that can be used to throw back opponents with hard solid force. The technique is useful in that it grants some level of the protection of earth armor but allows the rest of the body to remain flexible.

Rock slide: If he is near a cliff or mountain, he can cause many rocks of a multitude of sizes to rain down on his opponent.

Earth wall: He can create walls of earth, which can be used for both defense and offense, as well as for practical things, like construction.

Water filtering: When working in concert with a waterbender, he can purify polluted water. The waterbender suspends the polluted water in the air while he removes the pollutants and sets them aside.

Expert in Hung Gar style of Kung Fu: which is heavily rooted stances and strong kicks and punches that evoke the mass and power of earth. The martial art is based on the movements of animals, including the tiger, which is utilized when initiating hard blows, and the crane, which is used to land gently back on the Earth.

Staff Weilding: He has trianed to use staffs as a major weapon.

Weaknesses
Earth connection: An earthbender's powers are firmly rooted to the ground on which they stand. Removing them any substantial distance from the earth, such as in the air or on the ocean, strips them of their ability to bend. However it has been shown that earthbenders are still able to earthbend if the ground connecting them to the earth is made of metal. Earthbending has a distinct advantage or disadvantage as a form of martial art depending on the amount of earth present in the vicinity.

Metal and wood: An extension of the last weakness, because nearly all earthbenders do not know how to bend processed metals, the bending abilities of an earthbender can be negated by securing them within a metallic barrier, separating them from any contact with the earth. Wood, contrary to the Western notion of earth, cannot be subject to earthbending because it is neither a mineral nor mineral-like.

Reliance on the lower body: Earthbending is at its strongest when the feet are in direct contact with the ground, enabling them to transfer their kinetic energies into their bending for fast and powerful moves. EX: Burning his feet.

Swords, daggers, arrows, poision, and many other typical fatal things that can kill a human.

Equipment:
A iron staff.
A small pack that carries herbs that sooth burns and wraps.

Habits/Quirks:
He will often play with a handfull of pebbles when relaxing.
He can't help but assist people being mistreated.
He is bored easiliy.

Personality:
He is a very calm but joking person. many who know him will tell you he is kind but at the same time is not someone you would want to cross. He believes in respecting others beliefs and oppinions.

Personality: Having not been born in the Air temple, Ren appears much different than most Airbenders, mainly in his mannerisms. For instance, Ren eats meat instead of being a vegetarian. He doesn’t like being tied down, preferring to come and go anywhere and anytime he pleases. He lacks the discipline from an air temple to remain still and calm, often appearing energetic and antsy, but he does tonn it down to respect elders, especially the monks. Like all Airbenders, he does keep in touch with nature and even though he dislikes sitting still he makes it a point to meditate once a day at least. Overall Ren Shao is outgoing, energetic, and mostly impatient with a kind and generous heart.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Relatives: His adoptive mother, father, and younger sister at the farm.
City of Origin(optional): A farm some distance off of Ba Sing Se
History: A baby was born amongst the air nomads while they were traveling. The reason for moving was urgent and his mother was required to travel with them. While the group was attack, one of the assailants had snatched the baby, the nomads tried to retrieve him of course but in the confusion the assailants had left the baby traveling down a stream in his carriage. By the time they were able to search, the baby was long gone. The carriage got stuck in a branch along the line, an old man had discovered the child and brought him home to his wife. The couple was quite young, the two had wanted children, but wasn’t too sure about how they’d handle him. They took this baby’s arrival as a sign and decided to raise him, they named him, Ren Shao.

Ren was raised on the couple’s farm, learning to tend to the cattle and the crops. He often played with the kids that passed by there, either form another farm nearby or who were traveling. He has had man friends, but none he’s been around for too long. He also enjoyed taking trips to Ba Sing Se whenever the needed something, marveling at the Earthbenders he’d happen to see. He had always wondered what it would be like for him to bend Earth, but he never could fully imagine it, he felt like there was something else out there for him. It wasn’t long after that they learned he had the ability to Airbend. One day on the fields, he sneezed and flew into a stack of hay. The talent was obvious, but he was confused as to why he had this ability, that’s when he learned the truth. They told him about how they found him and he must have been the son of an Air nomad. Wishing to learn of his roots and hone his Airbending, he said goodbye to his parents, borrowed a Saber-tooth moose lion, and went off to the nearest Air temple at age 11.

Ren soon arrived at the Southern Air temple and told the monks about his ability to Airbend. Although he didn’t have their initial teachings, the monks still agreed to teach Ren, never turning down a fellow Airbender in need. For the first few weeks, Ren had a lot of trouble catching on to the style, but eventually they learned he had a real talent. He spent several years training in his ability while taking care of his steed. Ren also learned to get in touch with nature and about meditation, he learned their ways well, but still refused to shave his head. The monks told him he was nearly the level of a master, his skill of an Airbender was superb, but there was more to being a master than just skill. When asking what he should do, they told him to travel and seek the final fruit of his training. Ren returned home to his parents to say hello and bring back the Sabre-tooth moose lion. He had learned that the two finally had a child of their own, a daughter named Syung-mi who was 5 years old already. He was happy to know he had a little sister, and someone to help them with the farm. After saying his goodbyes yet again, he left on foot to complete his training, though he has no idea what he's meant to do.

City of Origin(optional): Northern Water Tribe
History:
Born into a loving family, Anna-mae has never troubled for anything. Her father taught her in the ways of waterbending from a very young age. When she was 9 her father took Mae to a circus in a near by village. Mae was determined to be as graceful as the trapeze artists one day and to explore the world with great adventure.

Mae took to gymnastics well. She tried integrating some of the moves into waterbending. She realized she could do a cartwheel and sling water with her foot as it came down, she called this the "wheel of water". She could shoot water from the sides of her hands as she sailed into a backhandspring calling this the "Back wash". She was very proud of these accomplishments and wanted even more to show off her talent to the world.

She set out on her journey at the age of 15, leaving her family and friends behind. She cried for days after she left the village. It was sad to know she wouldn't see her closest loves in a long while but she was more than excited to start this journey. Fresh slate and fresh smile.

Soon when he turned 2, his father starting going on and on and on about how Prento could learn martial arts. Then at the age of 5, his father started training him in martial arts and his mother started training him in water bending. By the age of 8, he perfected it and trouble soon followed after.
