Ohhh those are nice! Thank you! :3

[Vergil1989]

I like them both as well, but oddly enough I like the second one more lol.

[arthenwel]

I agree verg. Although, there's just something seductive about the first

[CurvyKitten]

I'm not entirely sure firebenders can energy bend or read the chi of someone as you suggest.  Bloodbending waterbenders can interrupt the flow of chi needed to bend, as proven by Amon during the first season of LoK, and while I know firebenders can manipulate and redirect lightning, I'm not sure that extends to the energy in the body itself.  Beyond that though, and that's just me really asking if that's a thing or not, I like what I see already CK.  ;D  The song choice is also awesome lol.

I got that all right off the wiki. I don't think all benders read and work with chi as fire benders draw their bending ability from their chi. But that is how it reads to me.

I'm honestly trying to over analyse every detail though. It will kill my muse if everything gets nit picked to death. Lol

[la dame en noir]

I agree. No more picking please :3

[Primarch]

Player ||Primarch

Name || Goro Yamamoto
Age || 28
Sexuality || Heterosexual
Gender || Male

Bender? || Yes
Power || Earthbending / Metalbending

Occupation || Dai Li/Republic City Police Inspector
Connections || Open
Skills || Investigation, Cooking, Baking & has a certain proficiency with electronics

Personality || Like most people there are multiple elements to the psyche of Goro, first and foremost Goro considers himself a Patriot of the Earth Kingdom. His father and grandmother were both agents of the Dai Li. As an agent of the Dai Li he carries himself like most others do, stern, uncompromising, discreet and of course very professional. It should be noted that Goro is loyal to the Earth Kingdom before anything else, this loyalty does not necessary extend to the individual currently ruling the Earth Kingdom.

When operating in Republic City however (which is the vast majority of the time, as he is currently involved in a long term deep cover operation) Inspector Yamamoto is an entirely different specimen. As a citizen of Republic City Goro is approachable, friendly and enjoys banter. He competes with his social and professional peers in a manner that is sporting but not aggressive. As an Inspector he has an attention to detail and displays impressive deductive skills.

On a more personal level, since coming to Republic City Goro has started to question some of his beliefs in service to the Earth Kingdom and the legitimacy of his mission, though he generally tells himself this is just a result of long exposure to a foreign life style and keeping his mission in mind is top priority.

Background || Goro was born and raised in Ba Sing Se, his family enjoying a position of some relevance after generations of military service. One can go back as far as their are records and the Yamamoto's have been military people, in more recent generations however the Yamamoto family have served in the feared and respected Dai Li. Goro's father served, as did his Grandmother. From a young age it was made clear that Goro's parents intended for him to do the same. Goro was hardly a model student in his younger years, always more interested in his next meal or throwing people into a nearby river as opposed to learning how to do something like...math. How life would change.

At thirteen years old Goro was enlisted for training with the Dai Li. The young Mr. Yamamoto was a diamond in the rough so to speak, oozing potential but lacking any of the drive to see it fulfilled. As it would turn out, Ba Sing Se's secret police have ways of motivating a young man.  What entered the Dai Li training program and what emerged were two entirely different creatures. The boy had been frivolous and rowdy, the graduated Dai Li agent was focused and dedicated. He was sculpted into the ideal operative of the Earth Kingdom.

Goro took part in standard service for the Dai Li until he was twenty one, by then he was both an accomplished Earth Bender and Metal Bender, though he had significantly more Earth Bending training. It brought up an interesting opportunity for the Dai Li. As the Earth Kingdom still considered Republic City to be built upon Earth Kingdom territory and rightfully within the borders of the Kingdom, they were curious as to what level of support there would be within the City if the Kingdom attempted to annex Republic City. Not to mention it would be valuable to have an agent inside the City in a position that would potentially give him information and insight.

The Dai Li developed a fresh background for Goro which established him as having spent his youth as a member of a gang who underwent a successful rehabilitation while in prison before turning his life around and becoming a member of the Ba Sing Se Police, using his insight into Gang Activities to assist in their arrest. He was even given numerous tattoos to fully sell the story. With everything set up Goro traveled to Republic City with fresh credentials and a letter of recommendation from the Ba Sing Se Police Chief. He enlisted in the Republic City Police where his Dai Li training quickly made him an invaluable officer. It has been seven years since then, he has since made Inspector and while he still regularly reports back to Ba Sing Se (via coded letters written to his 'sister') he has recently started having a few...doubts.

Appearance || If on display the most obvious part of his appearance would be the extensive tattoos. They do not tend to be on display however unless he's at his favourite sauna or the beach. Beyond that there's the shock of red hair normally worn back tied back. He has a lithe-athletic frame and its noticeably toned.

Pet || None
Hobbies || Goro keeps his mind sharp with books, his body strong with exercise and rewards his soul with a long session in a sauna.

YASSS Another Earth/Metal Bender! :3

[Vergil1989]

Oh boy.  The Dai Li creep the shit out of me, especially after seeing what they do during the ATLA episodes when Team Avatar visit the city and learn about the corruption that was thankfully removed by Aang and the team.  I love the stuff here though, but it does raise a question.  What happens when he runs into Katara given her very close relation to the current Avatar?  This ought to be good lol.  I love the potential for drama myself Primarch.  ;D

[Juggtacular]

Tao won't like the Dai Li at all either considering all the shit they put his grandma and Team Avatar through.

[CurvyKitten]

I can't for the life of me remember if those flying lemurs were in the legend of korra age of avatar? If so I so wants one :P

[Vergil1989]

They were in both far as I remember.  So you'd be good on that CK.  ;D  Momo was in ATLA, and Meelo had a flying lemur called Pokey.  Lol go ahead, say it, I'm a nerd.  :P

Didn't I go and pull fucking quotes from all over LOK and ATLA? What does that make me

[Lustful Bride]

You guys should be having this conversation in the OOC thread, not the recruitment thread.

Whew, I was just about to say that.

[Vergil1989]

So lovely Dame, when do we start?

[la dame en noir]

Saturday. I need to finish my profile and figure out what IC to open up first. I want you guys to talk amongst yourselves in the OOC, make connections, and sub plots. I'm working closing shifts the next 4 nights, while also finishing up some cosplay for an upcoming convention. I'm going to make this work.

Sorry about the delay.

No worries at all, you just take your time. ^_^ Haste makes waste.

[Vergil1989]

Indeed.  Besides, my grandpa is in from Florida for a couple days, and we live in Illinois.  So we're having a cookout tomorrow, having family over, likely be a little busy myself tomorrow night anyway.  So no worries Dame, but yeah, I don't mind planning stuff in the meantime.

Also real quick while I'm thinking about it again.  The Sato Estate on the Dragon Flats Borough, and I feel like there was something else I was wanting added to the list of places, but I can't remember it now lol.  Just when you get a chance though Same.  Have a good one in the meantime though!

And for anyone else looking to join, we could actually use a couple more people.  A couple of airbenders, non benders mostly, but we'll take what we can get.

[arthenwel]

I'm planning on making mine an airbender actually. Lol

[Mac84]

Ooo, This looks very interesting. ;D

I can already see a Non-bending early 30's portly Mechanic that goes by the name of "Chow-Chow" ;D

This would be his Vehicle:
