Appearance: Takumi has emerald green eyes and light brown hair which has two sets of bobby pins in the shape of an x on the left side. He has ivory tinted skin, an ectomorphic body type, and a long burn stretching across the length of his chest at a 140° angle. He wears a white dress shirt with a blue tunic jacket over it though never buttoned up. He can sometimes be seen with a blue and red tie around his neck. Takumi also wears dark grey jeans and has a brown belt strapped around his waist.

Personality: Takumi is introverted in nature and often is averse towards interaction with other people. His calm and collected air does not make him one to stand out in crowd. He can be fairly manipulative given the right circumstances. Overall, he is simply a very passive guy.

History:	Takumi was born in Shu Jing. His parents were named Yuki, and Yui. They both were airbenders who had moved there in hopes of living the remainder of their lives in peace. After they had arrived they took to doing simple things such as art and writing. Shortly after they had settled down there and started practicing the two professions, Yui found out she was pregnant. As her stomach swelled over the months, their lives got happier and happier as they prepared for the child that was going to be born soon.

Takumi was then born and named in the year 329. He lived a pretty simple childhood enjoying summers and dreading winter because he enjoyed being outside. Takumi was very extroverted as a child and had made friends with all of the kids and most of the older town-folk. As he neared his 7th birthday, a group of soldiers had come down to the town to see how it was doing. It was a small group of four. Though they weren’t the best; they did their job of maintaining order until a small accident happened. One of Takumi’s good friends had been running and tripped, spilling one of the guard’s drink all over him.

He was not happy with this and started beating up the kid mercilessly, even going so far as to smacking him across the face with fire, burning and scarring it. Takumi, being the brave child he was, attacked the guard, swinging at the man’s face and connecting a punch with his eye, which only pissed him off more. With a closed eye, the guard moved his arm to throw Takumi off of him. This sent Takumi flying several feet back from the force and hitting the ground with a thud. He got back up and began shouting at the guard telling him to leave his friend alone swinging his arm in an odd way a wave of air being launched at the guard as he did who was hit and stumbled back a few feet. In response to this, the guard’s comrades had gotten up and they all angrily stood there ready to beat the kid to death for the assault. Takumi looked around, confused at what had just happened. His friend unconscious on the ground, and some blood was dripping down his chin from his nose. Half of his face burnt quite badly.

All of the people he once called his friends stared at him with the guards and he knew that they would now treat them as though they didn’t know him for their own sakes. Takumi stared at the guards with a cold stern face. Maybe he wasn’t brave and was simply stupid but in a way he thought he could take them. That was quickly changed and as he snapped back to the reality of the situation a wave of fire hit his chest sending him back into a wall and knocking the wind out of him along with burning his shirt and chest. The pain made him start to cry the burning sensation on his chest making it hard to breath. He gasped for air and stopped worrying about fighting back. The reality of the situation hit him and he realized he had no hope.

Takumi then forced his tiny body up his legs trembling as he started to run as fast as he could. He didn’t look back as he ran and the guards didn’t pursue him. Takumi ran as hard as his little legs would let him which wasn’t that fast considering he was still struggling to breath. Suddenly, Takumi tripped on a nearby rock. The dirt on the ground made this ever more painful as it got all over his burn wound. He started crawling barely lifting his chest away from the ground and working towards his families house.

He made it about ten feet before his father saw him and came running down picking up the boy who had fallen unconscious. The father carried him over to the house and brought him inside. Takumi’s mother then rushed over in a hurry to see what was wrong before she began treating and cleaning the burn. After this event, Takumi had changed. He spent most of his time inside writing and didn’t really talk to anybody, not even the boy who he had ‘helped’ who came over to thank him. He isolated himself and dove into any books his parents had and picked up while shopping or on business ventures. Takumi used plots others had used at first to improve his own writing before Takumi finally branched off to his own style.

By the age of fifteen, he had released his first book, which sold around the town quite well. He didn’t dare use his real name and simply went by the alias “Dolor”. Eventually, he began to start writing near a waterfall. He found nature to be quite calming. He took so well to the waterfall that he began sketching it. He would add onto this sketch as each day passed. By the age of nineteen, he had released several books, four of which sold all the way around the world. Three had only been sold to nearby towns. With the royalties he had made from his books he decided to leave the town and head for Republic City, hoping he would get some new ideas for his books and potentially his art, which he had kept as more of a private thing.

He had several paintings around his room which he had drawn and all of them had his alias “Dolor” at the bottom. Takumi auctioned one off and burned the rest before he made his way to the city ready to explore more of the world.
