Character Name: Kilaun

Bender Type: Water

Appearance: Kilaun has smooth dusky gray hair and deep gray-blue eyes which seem to occupy this strange space between being very sharp and being quite vacant. He has a pale skin atypical of most Water Tribesman, and a fit, but not built, body as well as a very angular face. His body language seems to be alert but often times to things not occurring in the room...

Personality: Kiluan is very introspective, more concerned with the knowledge within than the world around him. Kiluan tends to say as little as possible and often times speaks of metaphors or short phrases as well as speak in a surprisingly soothing monotone. Kiluan is highly apathetic and sees emotions, both his and others, as tools to be utilized and nothing more. Kiluan has a great understanding of the human psyche due to his introspections and has such become a master of manipulation. Though Kiluan is not adverse to killing, he would prefer to solve problems in a more unique manner as to better hone his already sharp intellect.

Gender: Male

Age: 19

History: Kiluan was born to Nonbender parents in the Northern Water Tribe. His father was a fisherman and his mother was a psychologist, and as such Kiluan had a decently privileged upbringing and was able to go to a private school where he was doted upon for being a child prodigy, as he excelled in many subject areas at a young age, taking a keen interest in the concept of spirits.

But as a child his mind was always full of questions leading to an event when he was seven where looked into the water and saw his one reflection and wondered aloud. "How do I know if this is me?" He stared into the water for over an hour and no answer came to him. In frustration he touched his hand to the water and froze it, discovering his waterbending abilities. His parents took him to see a waterbending master for training alongside his school work.

As he grew older Kiluan began to dote upon the question he asked at the pool more and more until it consumed nearly every thought and action. His mother tried to help him but he drove her away, and entered a deep depression. Later, when Kiluan was 16 he awoke to a screen in the other room. When Kilaun entered he saw his mother and father dead with a cloaked man jumping out the window. Kilaun prepared to pursue him but he began to have an epiphany. Kiluan finally understood, he could not prove that the boy in the water was him because he was not. If he where to go to the spirit world the spirits could take all of these perceptions of himself away in an instant, so how could they be real? Why allow something as false as emotions rule you? He had nothing to gain for trying to avenge his parents death or for mourning them once they where gone so he did not do so.

Kilaun finished his studies at the age of eighteen, and realizing there was little left for him, in the Northern Water Tribe he decided to come to republic city in order to find a way to break past his false perceptions.
