Nation Of Origin: Fire
Age: 17
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Red
Height: 6" 3'
Weight: 240
Other: Hikoutei, often called "Hiko" for short, wears a black leather jacket, and a white t-shirt with a large, faded skull design on the front. He wears black jeans, and black combat boots that are steel toed.

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===

Likes: The full moon, the number 7, the blue sky, the red sky, sunsets, and his pet Mongoose Dragon, Fafnir.


Dislikes: Hikoutei doesn't dislike much of anything. He just likes things a bit less than others. He basically doesn't like druglords, murderers, and rapists.


Skills: Hikoutei doesn't use the exact martial arts styles, but has a fighting style somewhere between Ninjutsu, Wushu, and Jijitsu.


Equipment: Two steel katana, and a sack full of supplies needed for the journey: rations, a canteen, an assortment of pots, and dining utensils. He also has a souvenir from Finn, a white, star-shaped flower, that never seems to wilt.

Katana:


Habits/Quirks: One quirk about Hikoutei's fire is that is is colored silverish-white for some reason.


Personality: Hikoutei has a fiery nature (Haha, punny!), not dealing well with authority and not liking it very well. However, he loves all of his family, and his pet. He likes to fight, whether it be verbal or physical.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Relatives: Father Hoono (Adoptive), mother Satori (Deceased), grandfather Zuko (Adoptive) (Deceased), great great uncle Iroh (Adoptive) (Deceased), great grandfather Ozai (Deceased), and brother Zaito (Adoptive).
City of Origin(optional): Hikoutei does not know where he originates from. All of these mysteries are explained below. He, however, was raised in the Fire Nation Capital.
History: Hikoutei was found in the Fire Nation as an infant, and was taken in by Hoono and Satori Sansuga. He grew up estranged from other Fire Nation kids because he was adopted, and because of his odd silver hair, and therefore, when training, had no friends, except for one friend he had met during childhood, named Finn. He was further estranged because he was a noble. He was great friends with Finn, and they grew up together. However, Finn's family soon had to relocated somewhere on the continent, and hasn't spoken to him for three years.

Hoono, his adoptive father, told him a great story his father once told him of grandpa Zuko chasing the Avatar all across the globe, and all of his wonderful tales. As the events with the Avatar began arising, Hikoutei one night woke from bed and went out onto his balcony. There, he was met by a bright light, and the spirit of his grandfather while he was young. There, Zuko had a message for him.

I used to chase the Avatar when I was young, out of approval from my father. But eventually, I realized the Fire Nation was wrong for what they did...and I became one of his friends. I taught him how to firebend, and, with the Avatar's help, became Fire Lord myself. Listen carefully, Hikoutei...you may not be my actual grandchild...but I am happy you came into this family. You need to find the Avatar...and make sure that no other nation misuses him or her...the Avatar is too powerful to be used as a weapon...

Hikoutei, who was glad to finally meet his grandfather Zuko, vowed to take on his grandfather's challenge and search for the Avatar. He quickly signed up, and went to Ba Sing Se, wondering if he would be on a team or not, with his pet Mongoose Dragon, Fafnir.

He loves drawing pictures of interesting people that he meets.
His hair naturally goes from being the normal fire country brown to a charcoal black towards the tips and in streaks.

Personality:
To be lazy, putting off things as much as he is allowed to. A perpetual sloth, the only reason he is going on the trip is because of the Agni Kai he won. A rather non-violent and non-confrontational fellow, Saika would rather drink and eat with every one than fight with them. He has a certain disarming charm about him, that usually puts other people at ease when they speak to him, at least that is if they aren't the overzealous A type personality that typically dominates the Fire Nation. He'd rather not be on this mission, but he's honor bound to do it, and by honor bound, he means that he'll be ostracized from society and probably killed if he doesn't go on the quest to find the avatar. That and he could never miss this opportunity to repay his uncle for all the years of his "kindness".

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Relatives/Relations: General Zhandao (uncle, adoptive father), General Hoshi (Father, MIA), Captain Koto (Brother, KIA), Lady Yoko (Mother, deceased)
Sifu (sensei, identity unknown)
City of Origin(optional): Fire Nation Capitol
History:
Born of to a lesser noble family, Saika grew up with the loving care and attentions of his father and the companionship of his older brother, Koto. Despite the large year difference between Saika and Koto, they were inseparable. Theirs was a relationship to be envied by most siblings.

Spoiler:

Saika's mother Lady Yoko and his father General Hoshi loved him and his brother very much. Very caring and fostering, they simultaneously trained their children with the firmness of a master and the care of a parent. However, it was on Saika's 7th birthday that his mother, always having been very weak and delicate, was taken by an illness that had been plaguing her for months. It was a slow death, it was one that changed things for the family forever.

After Lady Yoko's passing, Hoshi was never the same. He became withdrawn and distant, no longer did he play with his children like he used to, but poured himself into his duties as general to the Fire Lord. It became whispered that his neglect was a reflection upon the inadequacies of his sons. For Saika, he attempted to ignore the whispers and gossip about his father and their family. For Saika's brother Koto however, things were far from being ignorable, Koto became withdrawn from Saika much like their father had from them. Except instead of pouring himself into a job, he placed all of his time and energy into perfecting his firebending and with it, himself.

Which is why it came as no surprise that Koto be given the rank of captain in the Fire Nation's military when war with the other nations erupted. When General Hoshi left for war, leading his men at the front, Koto followed after. Saika believed it to be because his brother was following after their father still trying to garner his attention like they used to. For Saika, he was left alone, left in the care of his uncle General Zhandao.

Zhandao was a prodigy of a man, known for his strength, firebending, and tactical genious. Without children or a wife himself, he was stern, proud, calculating, and cruel, all of the things that his brother in law General Hoshi was not. So, when he received the message that his nephew would be staying with him, he was simultaneously outraged and honor bound to do it. To do anything else would show poorly on himself, and his family, specifically his sister, which despite his coldness, was the only person he ever actually cared about. So, Zhandao grudgingly to Saika in and forbid that he get in his way, or wander into his sight. If Saika ever did any of these things, or infuriated his uncle in some way, which without doing anything other than existing he constantly seemed to do, he would be rather viciously beaten, typically lashed by a bamboo cane.

Spoiler:

Saika had been sneaking out of his uncle's house for quite some time, going and training with his Sifu, and drinking with her. It was on such a night that Saika returned to his room to find his uncle waiting there for him. Zhandao had suspected that his nephew was up to no good when he started to hear rumors of a boy that fit Saika's description, that was frequenting different bars around the city despite the obvious under age restrictions that had been placed on such things. It was improper to say the least, and he would not tolerate any further besmirchment of his sister's name. Especially when he was supposed to accompany general Zarkov and Fire Lord Zaito to the Earth Kingdom city of Ba Sing Se, and present another champion for the Fire Lord's use.

With all this in mind, Zhandao was intent on punishing his impudent nephew with perhaps the intent of even killing the boy. But what Zhandao did not expect was that Saika instead curling up in his ball that he normally did whenever his uncle heaped abuse upon him, the boy actually stood against him and instead of showing fear, merely responded to his uncle's threats with a challenge of Agni Kai. The terms were that if Zhandao won, the boy would disappear from the Fire Nation and never return, but what the general had not been counting on was how well in formed the boy was. So, Saika agreed on the condition that if he won, then his uncle would have to yield his position in accompanying the Fire Lord to Ba Sing Se to Saika, and Saika would be the newest champion for the Fire Lord's retinue. Both things which Saika knew would achieve him being able to leave his uncle's house once and for all, and drive an insult and retribution to his uncle that the man would never be able to forget.

And so the battle was fought, it was fierce but surprisingly short, as Saika's unconventional methods and style were very off balancing for the traditional and old fashioned general. So much so, that the man could not compensate and in the end paid for his inflexibility with the loss of the fight. And so, Saika gained his place on the retinue and his position as a champion for the Fire Nation.

((I'm spoiling the middle part so that it isn't anymore ungodly long/big than it already is. I ended up doing a lot of writing for this character, so it kinda ended up being freakishly long. Sorry for that. It just kind of happened.))

Personality:
Aroro is a wise person for his age, never rushing into a situation, always taking the tactical approach. On the inside, closer to his heart rather than his mind, he is a kind, caring person, who would rarely snap, or stay angry for very long.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Relatives:None that are alive, or with known locations
City of Origin(optional):
History: Azoro was born an orphan, or, at least, was born right before his own parents' mysterious death. For days, he lay on the ground, crying. He would have surely died, if he had not been found by a young traveling man, by the name of Otousan. He adopted the orphaned child, taking him in. Over the years, Aroro grew and developed. He was very adept at Waterbending, making Otousan very proud. At the eclipse of the moon in late winter, Otousan died of sickness. His very words on his deathbed to Aroro were, "Stay strong, my son. Stay strong, and never give up, no matter what the circumstances may be." And so, Aroro followed his foster father's words, taking them as his own personal mantra. From then on out, he began to travel the world, picking up a rather small black-and-white friend, and met all sorts of people, that is, until the feuds between the four nations began, and crossing borders was considered a crime. The young boy didn't really care for all of the fighting, and tends to stay in the background, unless he were needed.

Usually adored in flowers and hair ornaments, Luli has long black hair that last to her bottom. Her usual hair decorations consist of a single flower on both her buns, ribbons wrapping the bun, pearl hair bands, and a chain that connects from both flowers and rests on her forehead. Luli also has a tattoo identical to June, a tribute to her great grandmother who had worked with Prince Zuko and Avatar Aang. Below her eyes are 3 dots for beauty decoration.
She is known to be beautifully intimidating.

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===

Likes:
-Her shirshu Ming-húa
-Traveling to new places
-Trying new things
-Getting a job done
-Out smarting her opponent

Dislikes:
-People who excessively boast, are egotistical, and arrogant
-Fighting against benders
-Being rushed
-Unfinished business (both personal and professional)

-Experienced shirshu rider
-Excellent and creative with a whip
-Is amazingly fast in battle
-Great in hand-to-hand combat but is known to be evasive


Equipment:
-Whips
-Sleeping, Itching, and Metsubishi powders
-Nekote (cat like claws that are generally laced with poison)
-Fukibari (small needles that shoot out of a blow dart that is counseled in the mouth)
-Ming-húa the Shirshu

Ming-húa is not only Luli's companion but he is also her transportation around the world. Luli obtained Ming-húa from her grandparents when she was young and had grown up with him all her life. Their close bond not only makes traveling fun but battles easier for the both. Ming-húa has sharp teeth, sharp claws, a heightened sense of smell, and a tongue that contains poisonous neurotoxins that could temporarily paralyze a human being.

Her main weapon is generally just the whip but Luli makes sure to be as prepared as she can, for she can not bend and is more prone to get hurt in battle. Her powders are stored in small pouches as her needles and claws are usually stowed away in Ming-húa's saddle.

Lian- Mother
Manchu- Younger Brother
Jianjun & Longwei (Ex-Bounty hunter)- Uncles
Dongmei (Herb specialist) & Xianliang (Ex- Bounty Hunter)- Grandparents
City of Origin(optional): Ba Sing Se

History:
Born in Ba Sing Se to a family of ex-bounty hunters, Luli is the oldest child in the family. She is also the first bounty hunter in several generations to live up to June's reputation and first to obtained a Shirshu since June's passing. Knowing Luli's goal in reviving the bounty hunter tradition, her grandmother Dongmei taught her how to create powders that have almost immediate effectiveness when inhaled or touched, along with helping Luli become somewhat immune to those certain powders. Xianliang, Luli's grandfather, also decided to help Luli in learning how to do close combat, despite her natural style of being evasive. In hopes of rewarding young Luli in her great effort of reviving the family job her grandparents were able to get a hold of a shirshu (thankfully from a family friend). This only heighten Luli's want to become a great bounty hunter like her grandmother June. As Luli grew older she became a more skilled fighter, bringing down the tough and starting her job career at the age of 15 in a small group of female bounty hunters called "Peach". Here she not only made friends but became leader as they brought down multiple runaway criminals. As the group grew to around the age's of 18 they separated in hopes to earn more money from personal clients all around the world. Luli has been to almost all the areas of the Earth Kingdom and a few places in the Fire Kingdom making tons of money for capturing those who are wanted.
