Character Name: Tatsuo 達夫
Bender Type: Earth
Age: 20
Appearance:Personality: Tatsuo is a wild card and full of mischief. He's willing to help others, if it benefits him, or if he can get something out of it. He loves to fight and is willing to do almost anything, for a good price. If he's in a tight spot, he will more often than not use his mind to get out, not brute strength. He often relies more upon himself than other people.
History: Tatsuo was born into a peaceful earth-bending family. They were farmers and didn't go into town too often. They grew their food and sold the surplus to the nearest town. That was the only time that Tatsuo got to play with other boys his age. He had a sister, but she was much younger, and she was more protected by their parents. So Tatsuo was forced to occupy himself.
At a very young age, around five or six, Tatsuo showed the ability to earth-bend. At first it was just pebbles when he threw tantrums, then they became larger as he grew. So eventually Tatsuo's father taught him to properly earth bend and how to control his emotions so he didn't do anything stupid. Eventually Tatsuo rejected his dad's help and began to teach himself. This kept him occupied until he was able to go to the village.
Growing older, Tatsuo grew more and more distant from his family. He spent more time roaming the forests and farmlands than he spent time at home. By the time he was officially a man, he had grown so distant from his family that his family that he only slept and ate at home. His parents tried o help him and talk to him, but he rejected their help. He preferred to be alone.
When he finally left home at the age of 18, he roamed all over the Earth Republic, doing odd jobs for money. Some times those jobs involved killing someone; but he only took those job if he thought the person he was supposed to kill deserved it.
Eventually he heard of the Republic City, and how it was a major hub for many people. He decided that it was worth his time to travel there, and try to set up a life. As water isn't comfortable for earth-benders, Tatsuo decided to take the train, using a lot of the money he had earned over the past few years.
