About You!
Personality: Emrys is a kind and caring person who can always be found going out of his way to help people in any way that he can. He is well known for helping the homeless by giving them food and if he can offer it, money. He is also a massive fan of art, specifically writing, and loves to both write and read, his favorite books being romance novels of male/male pairings generally. He tends to be a bit of a talker and has no issues with striking up a conversation, even going as far as saying that he has a way with words.
Emrys tends to be more of a lover than a fighter, though he is known to be more than capable in a fight, and has been known to take on opponents more skilled than himself from time to time in order to better himself. He doesn't care if he wins or loses because the stakes are never high enough for it to matter. When it comes down to it, though, he is extremely competent in a fight and can hold his own very well.
Likes: Emrys likes listening to and making music and many other kinds of art. He absolutely loves to read and write and enjoys drawing from time to time as well. He likes nice clothes, as is often evident in his dress, and is also a great fan of helping others to look their best. He is a simple person who enjoys simple things such as the beauty of nature and also greatly enjoys meeting new people.
Dislikes: If there is something that Emrys dislikes more than anything else it would be people who prey on those weaker than themselves. He hates bullies and will go out of his way to take them down a peg if he encounters them. He also absolutely hates peppers and spices and is not a fan of onions. He dislikes liars, though he knows that there is always a time to cover up the truth and therefore will generally let this dislike slide.
History: There was a master who was well revered and respected in the village of the benders, hidden far away where nobody would ever find them and nobody could attempt to kill them. He was considered to be a shining beacon of hope, a light for those who were lost, and a great leader who would never fail his people. He had fended off attackers in numerous raids and he was considered to be a great master over the element of fire. The man’s name was Takezo Kensei, and he was known to all as the Fire Saint, one of the greatest firebenders to walk the earth. Takezo worked hard for everything he owned and everything he had accomplished, making him well known and loved all across the village. When news had reached the ears of the local village folks that he and his beautiful wife were expecting a child, everyone was excited. He was going to be a proud father, or at least he had hoped that he would be…but sadly this would never come to pass.
On the day that the young Emrys Kensei was born, the village was attacked…
Fire fell from the sky all around them as the masters of the village moved in to protect them all. Master Takezo Kensei moved to the front with two of his most trusted allies, an earth and a water bender, and met on the leader of the opposition, who had a strange aura about them. It wouldn’t take Takezo and his allies long to learn the nature of their attackers; they were Chi Blockers. As Takezo and the water master engaged the guards of the leader, the master over earth decided to take on the leader, using his impenetrable shield of earth and metal to take on his foe. This would end up being his downfall, as he would become trapped inside of his elemental armour and the leader of the chi blocker attackers would sap his bending and kill him by a clean decapitation with his blade. Takezo saw this and became angry, roasting his opponents alive as he and the water master moved to attack the man with a two pronged attack. The Chi Blocker was an impressive combatant and would prove to be a good match for the two of them, eventually gaining the upper hand by taking away Takezo’s bending and stabbing him through the chest with one of his blades. Takezo would fall to the ground and the water master would be left to stand alone, or so he thought. While the two fought, Master Kensei used the last of his strength to pull the blade from his chest and impale the attacker through the heart from behind, killing him in an instant before falling to the ground himself. He would be rushed to a local hospital, though he was dead on arrival.
The pain of childbirth combined with the pain of her husbands life would prove too much for Takezo’s wife and she would pass away during labour, but not before delivering a healthy child and giving him the name that his father had chosen for him; Emrys. The baby was taken in by the water bender who had survived, and raised by him to be kind and compassionate, helping any in need. Emrys was told of the heroics of his father and had decided that one day, he would become a master and surpass even him. And so throughout his entire life Emrys trained as hard as he could, and still does to this day, for the village to recognize him for his own strength, instead of for the strength of his father…
