Now as I'm sure none of you know, I am a writer. I'm not usually one to roleplay movies or shows, such as Avatar or Harry Potter. But I do like to make characters based on the show or movie. I have only done this for Harry Potter becasue I am a big Harry Potter freak and Lord of the Rings to me is untouchable. I have just recently done one for Avatar. I dont know if any of you have already done this but if not it would be a fun thing to do. Just make a character and give us a brief summarry of their life so far. I'll post mine for you to get an idea if you are so inclined to make one yourself.
Enjoy!
By the way: I started out the description to be the intro of a short story just for fun.

To know the true meaning of suffering, one must hear this story. It is the story of a girl. Her name is Aear. Aear is a Waterbender but was born in the Earth Kingdom. She has lived there her whole life. Unlike most of the people in the world she has blonde hair rather then black. Her eyes are blue as the sea and she is a tall, slender, graceful person. At the age of fourteen, she became a master Waterbender, having learned everything she knows from her mother. But now, at the age of seventeen, she leads a nomad’s life. Her father was killed in a battle against the Fire Nation when she was only two years old and her mother was murdered just after she had mastered Waterbending. The Fire Nation wanted to eliminate all master Benders from the rest of the nations so they could not teach others to fight against them. When the soldiers came for her mother, she was safely hidden. It tortured her to do so. She wanted to stand and fight with her mother but she was not allowed. She saw the whole thing. Her mother stood her ground against ten Firebenders before she was burned to death. When she saw her mother fall, Aear’s heart was scared and it was a scar that would not heal. That night she did not sleep but cried next to the river where she had practiced her bending so many times before. When the sun had finally risen, she made her way amongst the village to her friends’ houses, asking for supplies and transportation. She acquired a fair bit of money, food, water, and an ostrich horse which she named Terra. She said her goodbyes and was off. She didn’t know where and didn’t particularly care either. Days blurred together and she could hardly remember anything she had done after a few hours. Aear's grief continued to consume her, causing her to repel every other person from herself. She stopped her bending practice, only calling upon the skill to gather water or amuse herself with a solitary sliver of water dancing before. She had traveled a great distance north and was now only a few miles east of the Serpents Pass. Her supplies were running low so she stopped in the next village. It was a small place with one main street. It was a little less then half a mile long with more shops then homes. There was a well at the north end of the town and several ostrich horses were tied up infront of houses. It was late and shops were closed by the time she arrived. She gave a sigh, seeing this as one more thing in the long line of misfortunet events that she encountered. She swung her leg over Terra's back and led her down an alley. Here she unrolled her sleeping bag, fed Terra a small meal then tried to get some shut eye.
Well there you have it. I hope you liked it!

Nice story! I like the part when she cries at the river, perfectly writen. I'll try to make a story myself too, would be fun if we try to mix our stories. As an example, I meet Aear in a town or something. In that way maybe we can create a sort of book... =P

That sounds great! I would call that roleplaying but still, it would be fun. And thanks for the compliments everyone. Its good support to hear people talk about my writing that way.
Jimme my only request if we start a roleplay is that we dont include of the characters from the show? Maybe every now and again but I like to avoid "re-writing" the show so to speak.

Yeah, but thats ok. Dont worry, I like to share my ideas. Alright well I'm going to keep my intro that I already posted but ignore the part about her following the bison.

Again, a very nice piece of work! =) Maybe you can put the new parts behind your first part in your first post. This is easier for people who didn't read the first part allready. Keep up the good work! =D

She woke next morning to the sound of squwaking ostrich horses, foot steps on the ground and peoples voices. It was about 10:00 o'clock in the morning. This was much to early for someone in her state. She threw her arms over her face as Terra gave a caw behind her. Her stomach growled unpleasently but she ignored it. Getting up to go to the market seemed like to much work at the moment. "Are you alright?" came a voice. Terra stirred again behind her and she lifted her arms just enough to see who had spoken. She liked what she saw. A man not much taller then herself stood looking down upon her with a concerned look. He had short black hair that was rather untidy and stuck up at a slight angle in the front. He had high cheek bones and a clean, slender face. He was very handsome and Aear suddenly realized that she must look like a mess. She pushed herself up suddenly, making the man infront of her jump slightly. She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to tame it. "Uh, yeah, yeah I'm fine." she stammered slightly. He gave a small smile. "Well here, let me help you." he said, reaching out his right hand. As she went to grab it, Aear noticed a burn scar. It was an unbroken band, running across his palm, over fingers and over the back of his hand as well. She noticed a rather uneasy look cross his face. She grabbed his hand none-the-less and felt his strong arm pull her forward and up. They were quite close to each other. Aear gave a nervous laugh and took a step back. "Thanks." she said softly. He seemed rather amused by her reactions and chuckled himself. "No problem." he replied, running his scarred hand through his hair. Aear bent down and picked up the blanket that had dropped off of her and began to fold it. "So, whats your name?" she asked, not wanting him to leave. "Nar." he replied, "What about you?" She stood back up after stuffing the blanket into her bag, faced him and said, "Aear. Its nice to meet you Nar." They exchanged smiles and then an awkward silence over took them. "So, where are you headed?" Nar asked finally. Aear was glad he had decided to continue their conversation. "Oh," she said, taking a step back and pulling Terra to her feet, "just going wherever. No real destination." She then began to pack the rest of her belongings, throwing them over Terra's back. "Ah, so you're a nomad?" he replied, stepping forward almost cautiously. She turned her head to look at him, a rather embarressed look on her face. "Yeah." she mumbled, tightening the saddle bags. All of a sudden, she no longer wanted to be around Nar. She ran her fingers through her hair once more, tied it back and jumped onto Terra. "It was nice meeting you." she said, then kicked Terra forward. She had disappeared behind the corner before Nar could even say good-bye. He leaned against the house, feeling like an idiot. He knew it must have been his comment about her being a nomad that made her run off. He let his head rest on his chest as he stared at the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something glinting. Pushing himself off the wall, he bent down beside what appeared to be matching necklace and bracelets. They were quite stunning. The bracelets were about half an inch wide covered by a narrow glass casing. The necklace was on a short chain that, on the proper owner, would allow the tear drop amulet to fall to the collar bone. Both held the same unearthly substance. It was as if water had been trapped inside the glass. But the color was to rich to be water; normal water at least. It flowed and danced, appearing to freeze then unfreeze, making it impossible to call it liquid or solid. For a moment, Nar simply gazed at them, as if in a trance. The shout of someone on the main street brought him back to reality. He new instantly that these must belong to Aear. He also new that this was his chance to leave. He had been waiting for the right moment and now it had come. He sprinted out of the alley back to his house where he began to gather food, money and significant personal belongings. Giving a quick explination to his parents, he dashed out the door, mounted his ostrich horse Orod, and was off.

Yeah well, I think this thread might kind of be turning into a roleplay thing. Jimme and I are planning on starting something when he adds his own characters so feel free to post an intro and join in the story. If not, I could just create a new thread just for Aear's story. Your right, it is kinda turning into that and I would like to keep my own story seperate from a roleplay.

Alright everyone, I'm re-posting all my story posts in a new thread and this will once more be only for the info on your own characters and roleplaying if you would like to join. I would like to ask anyone who does roleplay to be literate. Meaning good punctuation, spelling, long posts that are discriptive, etc. Just look at mine if you need ideas or what not.
