1st Choice: Water Bender Wahooo! I got in.


Name: Ukka

Age: 21

Nationality: Republic City

Skills:

Mechanics- Even before Ukka's accident, he has had a love for all things mechanic. Perhaps he should have been a fire bender,or at least be able to lightning bend... How ever, even as a water bender, mechanics always came easily to him. How things work, how to build them, and then tearing them apart so he could start all over again. After his accident though, this became his life; and so naturally he chose it as well to be his occupation. Though he knows it is rare to find a mechanic that isn't a fire bender, so people are usually a little more hesitant to hire him, his skills more than earn him enough to make a living off of. Mostly this means fix what has broken and then spending his free time making new mechanical toys. Of course, in an ideal situation, he dreams of making a shop with a lightning bender to create the best and beyond of mechanics.

Ice Formations- This is a hobby more than anything, but at least he's good at it. Though water bending comes a little less than easily to him (he can't seem to make the water fluid in motion- even when holding it still it's shakey at best) ice formations come easily to him. Something about the harder version of his element makes it easier to bend to create what he desires. Usually, these are little formations- when he needs to kill time or make a few small coins at a bustling area. Making little hearts, or even extravagant ice dragon sculptures given enough time. Of course, it's not a skill you can sell as easily to mechanics, due to the fact that no matter how beautiful whatever sculpture he makes is- it will melt. . . And Ukka likes it that way. It means he always has to be making something new, something better.

Healing / Pain Releif - This is more of a personal skill... but it wasn't something that due to desire to heal his arm he forced himself to learn, going to all the water bending teachers he could to and make his arm back to the way it was before. It didn't happen, but at least now he found something different he's good at for his arm. he may not be able to repair it, but he's good at making the pain go away so that at least he can go on without much soreness, especially in his knuckles.


Personality:

Ukka is optimistic at heart, though depending on how early it is, or if his hand is sore that day, he comes off as a more of a life-sicks kind of guy. Well, he's perhaps really a life-sucks but it's worth it guy. He has a passion for finding the joy in even the worst of places, the beauty in the ugliest and so on and so forth- but he still acknowledges that the place is the worst or ugliest... Just that it's not worth killings yourself over. His personal motto, that he tries to impose on to everyone else is 'if your here anyway may as well enjoy it and make it last- see if you can turn it in to something worthwhile.'

Of course, that makes him seek out the depressed and desolate. Even he is unsure if that f that is because he has this desire to help them, or just to make himself feel better about his own life... He guesses the latter though. He loves to watch those down in the dumps, and will do so from a safe distance for quite some time before finally getting bored, and then going up to them and cheering them up if he can.

He's talkative for sure, but very picky about words. With so many words in so many languages, he see's it as rude if you say something besides the perfect word. So he'd rather speak more slowly as he gets the best word possible to suit what he is trying to say, and for that he is a very good motivation speaker... or charmer of the girls.You know, whatever works. This makes him social as well, with a little edge of curious towards what makes whomever he has focused on tick. . . but despite the curiosity he's terrible at reading people- so perhaps that's why he does it... because he finds everyone but himself so extremely mind boggling.


Likes and Dislikes:

:bulletblue: Loud People / People who Rant / Bad Boys / Nosey People
:bulletblue: Equalists (he thinks their making a big hullabaloo over nothing)
:bulletblue: Pro Bending Matches (because they are loud, and the people say useless mean things to each other... and it's a waste of bending.)
:bulletblue: Pets... animals of all sorts. They just creep him... Except Messenger Hawks, he doesn't mind them because their kinda cool... but he'd never choose to go near one.
:bulletblue: Heat. He gets to hot way to easily- so a trip to any desert is just not going to happen.


History:

Ukka raised by a caring mother and father, his two annoying little twin sisters- two years younger thankfully, and , his favorite person in the whole world, his grandpa. Now, where as both his parents where nonbenders, his grandpa was a water bender- the only one of the family and it was only his line that had anything to do with bending. Ukka adored his grandfather even before he could water bend, and would follow him around endlessly. His grandfather was the one who taught him the power behind the perfect words, always entering the house they all lived in with a new and it's meaning.

He was ten when he had an accident. Now, his parents where not poor by any means, his father worked hard and his mother did chores and sewing for all the people in the neighborhood and they got by... but they lived in an area with less Satomobiles drove the roads then people whom where on foot... so when one came speeding down towards him he froze, and was hit. Landing on his head hard, the healers knew there would be brain damage, but when he woke up fine they where pleased- thinking it was a miracle. Of course, then they found out he couldn't move his left hind from the wrist down, they figured out what part had been damaged. They tried to heal it, but it wasn't the hand itself that wasn't working, just the message that for whatever reason refused to be relayed from his brain down to his hand and back again. He has never let it hold him back, and doesn't dwell on it or hold any pity parties... but it pushed them to find his metal arm glove. Using Mechanics, it at least holds his hand in place without needing to amputate it, looks badass (his words) and, if there is energy, can allow him some movement of his fingers.

This is what pushed him to the bending he had been born with to learn the art of healing... but with no such luck as anything more than pain relief.

Ask him about it; and you'll get that. A short story and a "so always listen to your parents" moral.

RP sample:

Steam rose like tendrils of the mug of tea, a surprise the waitress had said, and of course he had been happily surprised. Ukka always went to his favorite tea house at least once a day, and that was where he sat right now. Having tried every tea, he felt no favour towards one or another, they where all amazing. So, when he was there, he ordered whatever the tea house could make easily, told them to surprise him. he had yet to find a tea he didn't appreciate. Besides, ti was less to focus on, and so instead he could focus on the couple whom he had chosen to watch this fine day. Tense to say the least, he would guess couple problems... but that would just be because all eh knew was that they where a couple, and they seemed depressed... but he had never been the best at reading people who who knows. Perhaps it was a financial thing or a recent passing of a mutually loved one.Either way he watched with intent. He had one hour, then he would, like he did ever day, go to work and see if there was anything he could fix up.

Additional Info: (Anything else you'd like to tell us about your character!
- He's a character of Habit, once he establishes a routine you would be hard pressed to make him change it.

A very interesting persona.
I'd love to see him interact with Zai.
