Character Name: Keya Takani

Bender Type: Water

Age: 18

Appearance:

Personality: A reserved and polite individual with a love for nature and a talent for playing an unnamed mysterious woodwind instrument he always carries with him. Keya strays from using his water bending too often and is aware of his own naïvety. Whilst a caring and compassionate person, Keya is known for being blunt at times, and a major introvert at others.

History: Keya was born in the Northern Water Tribe city to an archeologist and an artist, Ken and Ohsu Takani. As a young child, Keya surprisingly did not exhibit any water bending powers and only discovered his abilities when he was seventeen years old, much later than most. Due to this, Keya was outcasted by most in his circle of friends, with only two friends who understood his situation.

His father was a writer and archeologist who was dedicated to unlocking the biggest mysteries of the world and was obsessed with the Avatar. Ken taught Keya how to play instruments and taught him the ways of martial arts. Whilst a grumpy and somewhat harsh man, Ken was caring for his son and always had time for him.

His mother, Ohsu, was a famous artist in the Northern Water Tribe, known for depicting Avatar Aang's awakening in multiple paintings. She was a loving mother, who always cared for Keya and his father even through her struggles with a recurring fever.

It was during his mid-teenage years when Keya discovered his powers. After an avalanche submerged Keya in snow during a snowball fight with his friends, he emerged, his skin encased in solid, protective ice. The ice surrounding his body melted into water that was then manipulated by him.

Terrified of his newfound abilities, Keya ran home to inform his parents. Entering his home, he found his distraught mother weeping in a broken home. His father had been abducted by a figure clad in shadow. All that remained was a torn sheet of paper nailed to the wall of the house with a knife... A piece of paper bearing the insignia of Republic City.

Filled to the brim with a burning urge to find his father and the one who took him, Keya decided to leave for Republic City and follow a paper trail that would hopefully lead to his father.

His way out of the Northern Water Tribe was via a ferry that would take him to his desired destination, and to a future in Republic City.

When the looming structures came into view, Keya could not pry his eyes from the magnificent, legendary city that stood proudly just across the water, heralded by the striking statue of Avatar Aang.

Keya had arrived in Republic City.
