Character Name: Taru

Bender Type: Non-bender

Age: 17

Appearance:

Personality: Taru takes a lot after his parents, respectively. Like his father, he is timid, somewhat withdrawn, and prefers to be alone, but he does enjoy another's company. Like his mother, he is kind and caring, sympathetic towards others even if it can't be helped.

History: Taru was born to one Hinto and Morei, a modest couple living a suburb-type of life in the Earth Republic. They made their living due Hinto's great success as an inventor/machine-repair man. He could fix just about anything, for modest prices, and was always coming up with some invention he thought up the night before. It was quiet, yet eventful little life for them and Taru was the final piece to their puzzle.

Like his parents, Taru was born a nonbender, but he did inherit his father's inventive talents. One couldn't imagine that an eight year-old built his own working miniature satomobile. And yet, stranger things have happened. A couple years later, when Taru was about Hinto was given a business opportunity to work for Cabbage Corps all the way in Republic City. At first, he was a little reluctant, not wanting to leave his family by the themselves, but it was Morei that convinced him to take the opportunity, saying that it would better for the three of them. However, this would be the last time he ever saw his wife again.

About a year after, Morei quickly fell ill to an unknown virus and it was up to Taru to care for her while his father was away. Despite his age, he landed a job in a repair shop fixing up whatever people brought that didn't do something right. His skills managed to get him paid easily, but it still wasn't enough to heal his mother. She had good a run for two years before she passed peacefully.

The first couple days after were hard on him, all alone, but he wasn't going to sulk. Not on her behalf. Taru continued to work until he had saved up enough money for himself; he was going to purchase a ferry ticket to Republic City to reach his father, where he could, hopefully, stay with and work along side him, whatever his condition may be.
