KeiShingi = Strong Loyalty

Bending Type: non-bender

Age: 26

Apearance: (I can't think of how he would look being a decendant of a water and fire tribe family)

Personality: Strong-Willed

Backstory: KeiShingi's great-grandfather was a fire tribe slave whose master was a commander of a ship within the Southern raiders back during the 100 year war. His relative watched the fire benders raid the helpless people of the Southern Water Tribe. He himself was a non-bender like the majority of the southern water tribe members, he felt sympathy towards them. One day, while the commander was feasting over the victories with the other members of his fleet, KeiShingi's grandfather escaped with only a sword he took from the ship's ungaurded armory. He then stole a boat and sailed back to the Fire Nation island. Once landed, the relative asked travellers about the village in which he was born, they always pointed him in the right direction. In three days he arrived at the village and gathered all of his known relatives and went back to the docks. The small escape raft he had used would be too small for his kin so the man went to the dock master and gave him his life savings and the sword to buy a boat that would hopefully make it to the southern tribe without bieing stopped. It took a few months but he arrived at the tribe but was not greeted with kind. The small group of soldier and a young boy came and up to him with weapons drawn. KeiShingi's great-grandfather explained his situation to them and they just laughed at his face. They saw that he was poor. The majority of the family have died from illness or starvation. Only a handful were left on that fire nation ship. The men just snikered and almost turned them away untill a lady got up from the fire pit to see the comotion. She saw the pain of the man and felt pity and a little light headed around him, he felt the same. She took the small band of ragged bags of meat to stay with her in her tent. In a few days, they relized what the light headness meant and eventually went through the Water Tribe's sacred rituals of marrige and settled down.

These two gave birth to three children  two bieing KeiShingi's grandfather and grandmother and the third died in a duel. Your mother and grandfather's marrige was predicted as no one would marry a decendant of a fire nation man who had ran away from his servitude. The only one his father could marry was KeiShingi's grandmother and who also could not find anyone who would marry her. The two preformed the rituals and eventually got married and lived in the town. His father and mother were not able to produce a son but nether the less when the great healer Katara returned to her home she used her great powers to heal KeiShingi's grandmother and grandfather making it to where able to bear a son, 60 years later, they gave birth to  a son which was KeiShingi's father.

KeiShingi's father grew up in an era less violent towards his kind. The mix between the two tribes became more common in that era's culture. He was blessed by the bending of Katara but was not a bender himself. He was a confindent man, strong, and had a strong malice to the ones who hated his liniege. The ones who threw stones at him and mocked him for his family's betrayal to the old Fire Nation. He held no resistance towards those men and there were many unresolved cases of murder in the Southern Tribe. His father ended up a crook but was still liked anyway. They tried to help him along the way, giving him gifts of gold to help pay off his woes. While he was walking the streets he saw another person of mixed blood being mugged by a cruel group of mixed blood haters. This person, this woman, needed some assistance as they were forcing her to give them her money and other valuables. KeiShingi's father had bought a small sword with the gold that was given to him. He went up to these men and cut them all down. The woman was greatful and gave him a shy look and ran down the street. The father just stared with dull eyes. He could think of nothing besides her. In the traditional way of courting within the tribe, It would have been a longer process, but no they had to do it. The local police were hunting down KeiShingi's father and he didn't have time to waste. He was about to leave the town when that woman found him in the market. They chated and decided what to do. The woman was convincing, even though his confidence forbids it, he agrees with her, they shall go into court. The case was eventually settled, and the father was found innocent of all his crime only because of the strong racism acted upon him. The woman admitted her feelings towards the saved man and they eventually settled down together. Many years later due to the family's past 'luck' they could not have a child till bieing visited by the healer Katara. They were visited and healed and at the age of 60 your mother gave birth to KeiShingi but died in the process due to her old, withering body.

KeiShingi grew up along side his father who showed him right from wrong. KeiShingi earned his traits from his father's lack to end his track of actions. At a very young age he was told he was not a bender and leared the way of the sword from his father. At the age of 16, he joined the local militia of the southern water tribe but always kept his dad's old sword in hand. Ten years later, he heard of the troubles of Republic City and with his father's life coming to a close he heads out to help rebuild what has been lost. He keeps his father in mind and his teachings. He will never let his father down, he won't disobey his father in spirit or mind.
