Buroken

Name: Buroken (Temp)

Bender type: Non

Age: 16 Alignment: Neutral evil

Personality: Buroken is a mute, though he does actually vocalize (Whimpers when hurt, Etc) Though he murders indiscriminately, he does have the mental capability to know when to back off, such as when he's overpowered, or there's too many people around, and he can make allies, or even friends, though his loyalties can change at the drop of a hat. He hasn't been treated well for his entire life, so treat him nicely and he'll return the favor.

History: Buroken was the illegitimate son of an Earth Republic soldier and a non-bender mother. He was abandoned at a young age because he was mute, and grew up in an orphanage. The orphanage was very impoverished, and mostly populated by earthbenders. Being a mute non-bender, he was endlessly bullied. Then, one day, when he was 12 years old, he snapped. Pets went missing from the surrounding town, and were found apparently eaten by wild animals. Several hunting parties were sent into the surrounding wilderness, but never turned anything up. A few weeks after the animals started going missing, the orphanage burned down. Not many children survived, and oddly only one escaped unharmed. All of the surviving children were adopted out of pity, mostly by wealthy families. Save for one. One that was mute and had an odd look about him when he had a sharp object or saw a small animal.

Buroken was cut loose to wreak havoc. He drifted from place to place, killing and eating animals, usually pets. Most places he stopped never found out, though suspicion was always cast on "That quiet drifter." He was occasionally pursued by the authorities,  and often rightly so, but was never caught. He very rarely found legitimate work, usually on farms, but was always fired.

His arrival in Republic City was more a happy accident then a conscious decision. He had been floating around the docks of a manufacturing town for a few weeks. One night he simply fell asleep in a crate and woke up on a ship headed for Republic City. He was caught on the ship and forced to work, but he skipped out upon reaching the city.
