Name: Isamu

Bender type: Air

Age: 16

Appearance:

Character alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Sexuality: Homosexual

Personality: Isamu acts very aloof around others. He can be somewhat irritable, but that’s merely due to his opposition to social situations. Isamu can be harsh in some situations but sweet to others. He’s quite a bookworm, reading whenever he has time. His fascination with these novels tends to give him a skewed vision of how things work in real life.

Isamu can be very kind and loving, but only to those he cares for. Even to those he cares for, he can come off cold and distant. His actions can be adorably eccentric at times, but he’s trying to be serious. He shows compassion in strange ways, but he tries to be friendly when he should be. Isamu isn’t afraid to thieve, but he doesn’t live off of it. His hopes for the future are ambitious, but he’s strong-willed enough to keep going for them.

Isamu has been told by his father he had a sister. Isamu wishes to meet her, but he doesn’t have much information on her. All he is aware of is the fact that she lives in Republic City and her name, Izanami. He wishes to seek for her, but it can wait. For now, he just wants to settle in.

History: Isamu was born to a father and mother at the Eastern Air Temple. Soon after birth, Isamu’s father brought him away to the Earth Republic. His father and mother had divorced, each keeping one child. Isamu grew up rather plainly in the Earth Republic. When he was 6, he discovered his ability to airbend. His father was proud because he had so desired his son to follow in his footsteps in bending. Isamu was rather rebellious as he grew older, often not following his father’s instruction. His father became disturbed by this, beginning to abuse him. This hurt Isamu, both emotionally and physically.

By the time Isamu was 14, he was starting get fed up with his dad’s abuse. His father was getting fed up with Isamu’s rebellious traits. Eventually, Isamu’s father kicked him out. Isamu had nothing. No other family he could easily contact, no money, he had nothing. Isamu became a thief in order to barely provide for himself. He was also able to find a few jobs here and there but nothing permanent. Isamu was beginning to get worn out. He needed to secure a better way of life for himself. He wasn’t sure where to look.

On his 16th birthday, Isamu received a letter from his sister. How his sister was able to pinpoint his location, he wasn’t sure. The letter stated that she had recently moved to Republic City in search of a freer environment. She had also mailed a ticket for a ship to Republic City. Under the place where the ticket had been taped, she wrote, “Why don’t you come on over, and pay me a visit? Ma told me you got kicked out by our father. Feel free to take this opportunity.” This was exactly what Isamu needed. This was his golden opportunity to start fresh. The next day, Isamu immediately packed his things and traveled straight towards the sea. He arrived a day later, which was the day his boat arrived as well. Isamu then took the boat away from the Earth Republic and his past.
