Character Name: Masaru Takeshi

Bender Type:Earth Bender

Age: 25



Personality: Masaru has a very multi-layered personality, being the recluse he is, Masaru tends not to talk very much and prefers action over everything else. He tends to be a very serious and down to earth man whom prefers being in the background to having attention paid to him. Masaru is also very intelligent from his years of studying and has thus taken a keen eye to observing everyone and everything, he keeps notes of several subjects and people as well as can be seen spying.

History: It all started one night in a small village, the screams of a woman echoing through the streets, a few hours later young Masaru was born. Masaru was lucky enough to be born to a on-the-rise merchant named Tadao Teruo and his wife Katsumi. Tadao soon realized his son would be tough, immediately falling ill Masaru fought for his life for several years. Knowing the village couldn't give his son the fighting chance he needed, Tadao moved to the Republic City, hoping they might have more advanced technology to restore Masaru's health. After close to a year Masaru was back to his healthy self.

After a few years Masaru was introduced to the Republic City's school system, he was entered into a rather prestigious school that Tadao easily paid for, it also allowed him to practice and further hone his Earth Bender skills. The only downside was that Masaru had to pass through a rather risky part of town in order to get there. Though, over time he grew comfortable with it and even met a few people he would consider friends. One of them happened to be a man people tended to call Kentaro, no one knowing his real name. Kentaro was known to be muscle for some sort of gang located within the Industrial District. Things were going very well for Masaru, he was top of his class and even aspired to be a detective one day. But that all changed towards the end of his school career, whenever he got mugged.

Usually whenever in the Industrial District, Kentaro would escort Masaru. But, this day Kentaro was no where to be found. Masaru didn't find it too strange as Kentaro was a busy man. Thus he just decided to continue to school on his own, he made it decently far but after walking down an ally usually used for a short cut he was stopped. A group of small men blocked him into the ally and began beating him. They saw Masaru was dressed nicely and took everything they could, leaving him bleeding and in his underwear. Kentaro found him within the hour and took Masaru to the hospital where he was left with stab wounds all over his body and a cut eye. But that wasn't the end of Masaru's problems.

Tadao and Katsumi were worried sick, sending the police after their son to find him. Within a few days Masaru appeared on their doorstep, perfectly clean and missing his left eye. Masaru told his parents everything that had happened and they did nothing but scold him for being associated to someone as poor as Kentaro. Masaru was utterly shocked at the crudeness his parents showed considering they were just as poor in their past.

This was the final straw for Masaru, he decided he would run away. He left a simple note telling his parents goodbye and not to look for him, disappearing for several years and dropping his last name. After around 8 years a large man with an eye patch entered the city, homeless and drunk, saying his name was Masaru Takeshi. Quickly detained and kept in a holding cell until sober, this man experienced his first taste of what the city has become.
