Things you need to decide on before making your character

[Macready84464]

First of all the setting for the world itself takes place roughly 100 years after the war ended. All the main characters from the show are dead. Technology has advanced slightly. Think slightly steam punk. Musket type weaponry can be found easily, but since there isn't any major wars going on military technology hasn't changed a whole lot. All the nations are at peace with each other but there are always little tasks that need to be carried out here and there by the skilled adventurer. And whenever you can't find work you can always train against your fellow benders and warriors in the arena.

Your Skill

There are 5 different "classes" or "skills" to choose from. Firebender, Waterbender, Airbender, Earthbender, and Warrior. You will need to specify one of these in your submission. If you're having a hard time choosing a skill try to think of how each of these skills react in combat. The airbender isn't hard hitting or the toughest but dang near impossible to pin down. The waterbender has a perfect balance of defense, and offense. The Firebender is a powerhouse of damage. The Earthbender is steady and can take hit after hit. While the Warrior trades up bending and ranged attacks for deadly close quarters combat.

You'll also get to choose one "job" in addition to your "skill." Your job is... well basically your job. This will be your main income source and will greatly influence how your character fights. There are 5 jobs to choose from all of which are useful for very different reasons. The Herbalist produces items that can improve the performance of your character momentarily and remove status ailments, as well as heal. The mechanist can build devices that can give you a temporary and permanent edge in combat, or just try to blow the other person up! The Blacksmith creates weapons and heavier armor as well as improving said equipment. The Tailor creates lighter clothing as well as bandages. The farmer creates most of the items that the aforementioned jobs need in order to craft.

Of course you'll need a name for your character, and any extra info you'd like to give about them. Male, or female. tall, short. Friendly, rude. You get the idea. Backstory explaining their place in the avatar world is welcome too as it gives your fellow RPers something to build off of.
