_Sarjah_ NewbieName: Dominic Lolic
Nickname: Nikki or Ekko (Rink name but some people call him that out of it to)
Age: 19 almost 20
Looks: Nikki has short orange hair it can be somewhat wavy but is usually moderately straight and kept back away from his face. He has green-ish hazel colored eyes that seem more green when he bends, even though that's kinda weird. He has very pale skin that's sort of muscley and he has freckles all over his shoulders, back and arms

Personality: Nikki is pretty stubborn and head strong and can come off as ruff and jagged but is really just a giant softy. His many years of homelessness and thievery has molded him into having a tough exterior and not use to any really empathetic human emotions as where he's from its a general fend for yourself unless people join together (family wise) but even then you should watch your back. He's been on his own for so long that genuine human comfort will more then likely crumble his facade. He's a bit of a paranoid person and has slight separation issues when it comes to when he gets attached to people, and although it wont show immediately it will slowly grow and he wont mention it or try to get someone to stay close to him but him symptoms will grow more and more obvious.
I think I'm done.... -
Name: Josef Fiamme
Age: 20
Looks: Josef owns a head of deep, chocolate colored hair. It is somewhat wispy and sits upon his head just right. He has hazel eyes with slight golden flecks. With his eyes, however, he has a couple of scars. One goes from the bottom of his left eye to his left ear, the other going from the corner of his right eye to middle of his cheek. He is six feet tall and has a muscular, slender build. His body is very proportionate. His skin is a deep tan that pairs nicely with the rest of his features. He has a few tribal tattoos on his shoulders, sides, and arms. I will show you them.
Around left arm, above bicep
On right arm/shoulder
On left calf
Personality: As the 'prince' of his nation, if you will, Josef is very composed and calm at basically any time of the day. He lives in his family's relatively large, temple-like home. He has everything he could ever need. This, however, does not change who he is as a person. He is extremely charitable and sees to it that the people have what they need when his mother and father do not see to that aspect. The only thing he lacks is proper impulse control. Many times, he finds himself doing things that he shouldn't, such as sneaking out of the temple to have fun and other things. Other than that, he is a very good kind and a responsible part leader. He enjoys his life and is very skilled in the art of fire-bending. His biggest fears are war and the death of his parents (which he always fears is closer than he thinks).
I can'ttttt really think of more, so I guess everything else will come out in the soap -
_Sarjah_ NewbieThe earth kingdom was a very fragile yet sturdy environment, the kingdom was completely based off everyone knowing where their place was and not questioning it. While the other parts of the nation may have been different, in the capital the city, it was on a hill like structure, on the top was the royals house then the diplomats and the rich but most of the populations were the slums of course their were some mid class people as well but the amount was thin and vastly out numbered. At the bottom of the hill was a wall, and then nothing just the "bottomless pit".
Dominic hadn't really done much that day, although much isnt usually done for him. He was working the day shift at a bar and although it paid crap the bar was also crap and totally in the red so hes lucky hes getting paid at all. When he walked out of the bar that night it wasn't just the daytime hardcore alcoholics looming in the bar anymore but also some of the loy-key alcoholics of the lower area but the moon high in the sky was the real sign showing that he was late and probably going to be in s---.
Nikki walked with a small amount of urgency, he walked till he found a certain small tea shop and walked in behind it. He looked around carefully flicking off one of his shoes he slammed his foot against the ground feeling the vibrations, he could feel the pounding excitement of the stadium earthbended into the mountain of a city but no one coming close or around him, of course there's easier ways into the arena without earthbending but this was faster and he was less likely to be caught late by Ryker, now normally no one cares if you're late as long as you're there for the match but Nikki was always late and Ryker hated it. You would think that with the illegal stadium in the ground some government official would feel it in the earth yet so far they're all a little to high up on a horse to feel the earth.
He moved slowly and lazily to bend the earth out of that small area, he grabbed his shoe and hopped down the rabbit hole closing it behind him as he fell. He made a small noise when he hit the ground of a hallway in the arena. He slowly looked both ways in a "cool" nonchalant way. He crept over to the corner and peeked, nodding to himself confirming that he was very alone, he walked backwards and as soon as he turned around he was met with very angry brown eyes. The green haired male glared obviously not amused, "H-Hey Ryker." he said with a smile.
"Dom." he deadpanned, "You're late again."
"Yes but I'm here now."
"Whatever, I'll rant later, Hurry up and get to the ring."
"On it!" He said and walked away.
He took off his work shirt, leaving him in a tank top and baggy pants. He tossed his shirt aside as he got out to the arena area and ran his hand through his hair messing it up quite a bit. He sighed leaning back on the wall and waiting. -

"I will be sure to keep your identity secret, Sir Josef!" the guard assured the young man, nodding strongly.
As the male stepped through the gates, he tightened the handmade cloak around his body. The air was crisp, something he was not entirely used to. In the Kingdom of Kasai, the weather was typically warm, and so enduring the cold was not exactly the Josef's forte. Typically, he would produce his own warmth-- that would be the easiest thing to do. But he was treading on the unfamiliar lands of Terra. The only two times he had ever taken the journey to the kingdom was for official matters, making it impossible for him to explore the common areas.
It was a different day, however. His family and closest friends were under the impression that he was on the hunt for a new bow and arrow and that he would be back in time. This was obviously far from reality. As he strolled, taking short glances around, he noticed the guard trailing him out of his peripheral vision. Tilting his head, he turned on his heel, smiling in a goofy manner. "Any reason you're staying so close, sir?"
"Well, mister," the man whispered, clearing his throat. "It's kind of my duty to protect important persons like yourself if I come across them. If you want me to leave and say I never saw you, I can do that."
Josef allowed a small string of laughter to come from the back of his throat.
"Well, I wouldn't be that harsh, no. Before you leave, however, could you inform me of anything that would be interesting to experience?"
The guard looked over both of his shoulders, leaning closely towards the younger male.
"Well, I do know of a sort of fight club, if you will. I won't dare expose them to any authorities, however, as they're really quiet innocuous to society."
Josef grinned happily. He found it admirable that the man would decide to lay low so at to not compromise the enjoyment of those in the fights.
"You didn't hear it from me, but there is a man near a certain tea shop down the way that will be more than glad to lead you there. Tell him Havin sent you."
"Why, thank you." Josef said, bowing in gratitude. He waved a goodbye, turning to hurry to the man. It took him a short chunk of time to maneuver through the dusty streets. It was comparable to a largely scaled labyrinth of a maze. Everything was so unfamiliar to the young prince that he sighed a heavy breath of relief when he found what he believed to be the correct shop. A man leaning against a wall was the first person he saw. Cautiously, Josef approached him.
"Havin sent me, good sir." The man gave a nod, taking Josef by the arm in a very tender manner. Leading him through a path, they eventually came to what appeared to be a very normal piece of land. The man took a gander at their surroundings before reaching down, grabbing onto a handle and hoisting a door into the air. A staircase was thus revealed.
"Thank you, sir," Josef cooed as he stepped down the stairs, finding himself in the stands of a relatively grand arena. Other individuals were scattered about, but the prince decided to take a space where he would basically remain alone for the duration of the fights. He situated himself in the second row of the stands, beginning his wait for the fights to initiate. -
_Sarjah_ NewbieDominic waited for the next fight to start, they have two sections of the fighting, the later it got the better the fighters were. When two very muscly men stepped into the ring, they were introduced and the loud bang signaled them to start, the bang was that of bending. The men were quite good at bending, the actual art at least, their form was sloppy at best and that was definitely giving them more credit then they deserved, a lot more.
Despite the large fight going on with rocks flying everywhere Dominic's eyes were drawn to a boy in a cloak, although his eyes were very quickly drawn away by someone yelling, "Hey guys look what I got!" It was a man coming in walking with bags on his arms and a crate in his arms and it was full of colorful objects and he walked towards a group of people.
"Dude" Nikki yelled his voice slightly shaky, he pushed off the wall, "Is that fruit?" He asked amazed with this random guy.
"Yeah, fresh off the shipment." He said with a huge smile. Nikki jumped on some of the seats that were empty.
"How did you get this? The fresh shipments to right to the top!" He said with a small laugh, "I haven't seen fruit this fresh... ever!"
"Yeah, I know a guy off the shipping docks, he gave me some. It's not going to hurt anybody, so what if they miss some fruit I'm tired of eating week+ old fruit basically rotting on itself aren't you?" Nikki laughed, a loud, very loud laugh.
"Fruit? You think I can afford that? I live off bread." The group laughed and one of the men grabbed a very red apple out of the crate and tossed it at Nikki.
"Here enjoy it, give us a good fight." He dais and then pulled out an orange and started to peel it.
"Dude don't just give fruit away." The one man half whined.
"Aw come in Glen, hes a fighter, a growing boy, he needs his fruit look how tiny he is!" He said with a chuckle.
"He doesn't need fruit!" One of the other guys said dropping his arm around Nikki, "He's a bender!" And he playfully punched Nikki in the arm making him mumble an 'ow'. "Okay Maybe he needs some meat." He said.
"Art, stop." His wife smacked him playfully, "Also you're being called."
"Oh s--- really?" She nodded at him, "Oh s---!" He said and ran off putting the apple in his mouth.
He started eating the apple as he waited to be told to go into the ring."Where'd you get that from?" Ryker asked. Nikki pointed over at the group with a slight nod he finished the apple and then gave the core to Ryker and got up on the platform.
Nikki looked at the tall huge man that he was facing today, his skin was darkly tanned and his arms were basically a foot thick, he was huge for lack of better words. Nikki took a small breath as the two of them were introduced, they both spread their feet apart, right hand in a fist and left hand covering it they bowed slightly and with that the fight started -
As Josef lounged in the stands, he took a particular interest in a group that was situated nearby. From what he could gather, he assumed that they had been going through a food shortage of sorts and were excited to finally have some fruit. This perplexed Josef to a very high degree. Back where he lived, fruit was almost always readily available. This was not only true for the royal temple, but for the rest of the kingdom, too. It was the sort of thing that was basically a given. Even the poorest of men could get their hands on grapes or oranges. The fact that these men quite literally were required to "know a guy" order to obtain the succulent sweets was shocking to him. He tilted his head, watching as a certainly slender male shoved an apple into his mouth, heading off. The fire bender's head followed the figure, letting out a small tone of interest upon realizing he would be fighting.
As there were no other people next to him, he peeled off his cloak, resting his hands on his knees in a very proper position. The fruit was bugging him. It is really quite a shame, isn't it, Josef? They have to fend for food. A pity, really. A pity. He furrowed his eyebrows, licking his lips as he compared the boy to the opposing competitor. A part of him questioned the type of fight the two would be partaking in. He recalled Havin's words, how the event had to do with a "sort of fight club". Would the gentlemen be taking to hand-to-hand combat or would they be bending? In either situation, he noted, it seemed as though the larger, bulkier man had the upperhand-- the real advantage.
I pray that boy is okay. Has he had enough to eat? I wonder how he would react to a single meal in the temple...What abput all four courses? Dear God, imagine the look on his face.. He leaned back in the stands once again, squinting as he heard some kind of announcer introducing the fighters in the middle of the arena. As he had taken quite the intrigue with the boy, he hoped he would be able to learn his name.
not v long but i hopes it okay -
_Sarjah_ NewbieDominic stared ahead at the man who was on the other side of thine ring, when they were signaled to start that was what he did.He raised one arm back fully the other close to his ear on the one side, he moved the slow tai chi move bringing his hands out in front of him many spike like things came up out of the rock made stage. The man smirked and jumped on the flat side of the spikes and jumped on them making his way over to Nikki. He pulled his arms back making the spiked crumble and go flying back to behind Dominic and the man hit the ground.When he started to stand again Dominic raised his hands and in something similar to a swiping motion, in an air- bending like style, he threw some of the rock pieces at the man, some were dodged but once one hit the rest of them did too.
Even though the man was hit he kept moving towards Nikki, he knew in it got too close quarters he'd be completely screwed. He turned the one way to run and tripped slightly, looking back he cursed under his breath, "So we're cheating today are we." he mumbled and ran the one way, staring at the ground as best we could while paying attention to the rocks flying at him and moving around him. One rock came flying at his head while a slip spot was trapped in a hard way to miss. He lunged forward placing one hand on the ground doing a small spin and a kick, somewhat similar to a fire bending skill, the rock went flying towards the guy. He hopped back on his feet and didn't take a second to use any moves he could to pumble rocks into the guy using his more traditional styles. When it was called he stopped and stood up straighter and he was signaled to walk off he started to and since the bell was rung he wasn't paying attention. Him foot hit the ground and sunk into the ground and his eyes went huge, he looked behind his to see the guy changing at him he fell trying to get his foot out of the ground.
He felt the guys fish ram into the back of his head smashing it into the ground he felt blood start to fall down his face. He felt punched rain all over his body he tried to cover his ribs but when he couldn't he gave up and reached forward smashing his hand into the ground bending it around his fist he backhanded the guy off him trying to move with his foot still in the ground he bashed his hand into him a few more times and then smashes his hand into the ground breaking his foot out.
Nikki got up off the ground, he could feel the blood running down his face but didn't care enough to wipe it away same with the back of his head. Was he always this tired? He didn't remember. He stumbled a bit walking off he almost fell and managed to steady himself out before continuing on. He almost fell down the steps but Ryker caught him, "Dude, you okay? That looked rough." Nikki nodded but it hurt so he regretted it a lot.
"I'm good." He said with a chuckle and walked away, to him it seemed fine but he was a little swayie. He went back to where his work shirt was and relaxed against his seat and get out a groan. -
His eyes remained glued to the boy that had previously caught his attention, taking note of the various moves he attempted. This sort of activity was not entirely uncommon in his kingdom, however, he assumed that firebending fights were easier to conceal as they did not involved literally moving and altering the earth. Watching others bend against each other in an environment such as that intrigued him, to say the least. His mind ran rampant, wondering about whether or not they obtained prizes for their efforts. And if they did, what may they receive? Was it food, which they already appeared to have to fend for? Or was it something of a monetary value? More and more questions flooded his mind as he observed the fighters, pursing his lips every now and again, mainly when things became a bit too violent for his tastes. He was alright with a bit of blood and gore, but becoming a spectator to a gruesome brawl was not his cup of tea.
He was highly impressed by the smaller individuals performance regardless of the size difference. When the end of the match arrived, he was thankful, but he also questioned who was actually considered the winner. He followed the figure of the boy, smiling when he took a seat in a spot not too far away. Josef smiled widely, standing from his spot and leaning into his cloak. He stepped along, eventually finding himself in a position where he could easily talk to the boy from the stands. In a quiet yell, he stated, "You there! The one who just fought, look at me!" He was very proper in his way of speech, his eyes wide as he waited excitedly for a response. As he failed to leave the temple often, the opportunity to speak to somebody like the boy sent happy jitters throughout his body. -
_Sarjah_ NewbieDominic's body was heavy he hated it when people didn't get that the fight was over, it was annoying and rough on the body. Sneaks like that were just cruel. He leaned back a bit and pain filled his shoulder making him wince and grab it. He jumped when he heard someone yell, he looked over once it became clear he was being talked to. "Oh uh hey." He didn't think he'd seen him around before, he knew he didn't see everyone but this seemed somewhat different. Jem ran over and tossed a bag at him, he grabbed it with the wrong arm and winced, "It all there?" He asked and the girl nodded and walked away.
"You should set that soon." She said.
"Sorry about that." Dominic said slowly, "Uh did you need something?" He asked
He bit his lip and grabbed onto his arm slamming it back into its socket, he flinched and let out a small whine. He shook his arm out and looked back over to the guy. He could feel the blood running down his face and down the back of his head, he didn't mind but he knew that some other people wouldn't be okay with such things and he just hoped that this guy wasn't one of them. His vision blurred slightly and his eyes slightly widened and they unblurred he blinked a few times and then relaxed back while still staring at the man.
