Name:Amir Sen Song
Age:17
Gender:Male
Nation:Earth Kingdom
Bender?:No
Physical Appearance:Amir is of a lithe build due to all the acrobatics training he has had. His arms are long and muscled, as are his legs. His skin is a dark tan due to the all the time he spends outside. He is tall for his age at 5'10, though he is constantly called a shortie by all of his brothers and sisters. His chest is not very muscular and he is often called scrawny by his siblings though his mother says it is because he is still growing and is only seventeen.
He mirrors his mother's face in many ways such as his bright green eyes which are almond shaped unlike all of his other siblings whose eyes are a pale green. His nose is hooked, causing his siblings to call him hook nose when he was younger. He has a bump on the bridge of his nose and his nose is also slightly off center due to an incident in which he broke his nose. He has high cheekbones which stand out from his tanned face. His ears are big compared to the rest of his face, again another source of mocking by his siblings.
Amir has dark brown hair, as do most Earth Kingdom citizens. His hair is shaggy, the majority of his bangs hanging in his eyes. The rest of his hair ends a little below his shoulder. He keeps it in a loose ponytail with a strip of fabric he found. His older brothers often find it funny to pull on his ponytail while he walks by, much to his annoyance. The sides of his head are cut very short, having the appearance of a modern shaved head, as his mother does for her sons every year so their hair won't really get in the way.
Clothing/Armor:Amir's clothes are made to not get in his way as he helped his older sister by five years make them and put in his "wonderful" critique. The tunic he wears is a light green, made out of light though not very sturdy fabric. The tunic is sleeveless and looks as if the sleeves have been cut off. The collar of the tunic is not very high, looking as if someone who did not know how to use sewing tools well cut the collar a bit too low, revealing a bit of Amir's chest though he wears bandages underneath as an under shirt. Th tunic ends at his mid-thigh and he wears a dark green sash at his waist since his tunic is pretty loose. His pants are a tan and are relatively tight though not very since his sister refused to spend another hour or so taking skin tight measurements so the pants were as tight as Amir dictated. They are made out of a rough canvas like fabric. His tunic overlaps to his mid-thigh.
If forced to wear shoes, Amir dons sandals which are made out of an animal's skin wrapped over planks of wood for the bottom of the shoe, straps of leather cross over his large feet to keep the shoes on his feet. He rarely wears them though for he says that shoes constrict him.
Weapons:Since he is trained in acrobatics, if needed Amir can execute a few well placed kicks and punches to knock someone down though he isn't fully trained in the art unlike most of his brothers. Due to his mother's constant worrying, Amir takes a simple short sword styled after a wakizashi. The blade is made out of a good quality metal though because Amir is at least the seventh or eighth owner of the blade, it is chipped in certain place. The blade is at least a foot and a half long, with a hilt that is about six inches long and two inches wide. There is little detailing on the hilt though, except for the simple of his family, a crane, engraved across the hilt. The engravement is gradually fading away though due to the age of the sword. It is worn slipped under slash, the hilt poking out.
Personality:Being one of the many children of his family, Amir was always treated as the baby because he was the one of the youngest of the nine sons, making him slightly spoiled. He likes it best when things are done for him, not having to make a real effort. He is lazy at the least and he often makes his younger siblings do his chores by using money or food. He is a procrastinator, often saying he will do things but getting to them next week, even next month. He prefers to spend his time perfecting his acrobatic techniques, napping, and eating. The only time he moves during the day is typically when he is practicing for a show which he does by himself and he won't let anyone be around him for they will "interrupt the genius".
Amir is very sure of himself, often to the point of driving his older siblings insane with his constant going on and on about how he was better than so and so and such. He is arrogant and is convinced that he is one of the best acrobats in the world though it is clear some of his older siblings are better than him. He loves to boast, often telling anyone who will listen about all of his accomplishments in all of his life. He very rarely shuts up and is always babbling about something from little to no importance what so ever. The reason is Amir hates silence as he was raised with constant noise and has become so used to it, he cannot bear silence to the point where he will sing so the silence will be broken.
Amir is easily annoyed, but is not short tempered. When faced with an annoyance which is always a family member, he just tunes them out or ignores them and if that does not work he simply gets up and moves. As a last resort, he will spit in their face if it is a sibling or finally yell at them. If it is his mother or father, this gets him in a lot of trouble. His left eye has a nasty habit of twitching whenever he is annoyed in anyway.
The acrobat is a very opinionated person and always has something to saw about everything and anything, even if it is not wanted or needed. He is very loud when he state things, causing him to be slapped a few times when he referred to people as ugly or something of that sort.
Amir could be considered a womanizer and is a shameless flirt, often attempting to pick up a village girl with his charm though they rarely mean more to him than a simple fling. He is not one of those boys who are searching for "the one", he barely even cares about finding a soul mate of any sort. He just likes feeling superior over someone and due to the fact that he is sexist and does not think much about females in general.
Background:Amir was born to Suna and Shiva of the Sen Song Acrobats, being there seventh son and tenth child out of thirteen children. His parents, especially his mother, babied him as he seemed like the picture perfect baby with his big, green eyes and knack for attracting many a compliment for his mother. As he grew, he always had trouble fitting in with his siblings, especially his brothers because of him being babied when he was young.
The Sen Song Acrobats are a troupe of acrobats that was formed when the war just started and Amir's great grandfather felt that he needed to spread some joy across the lands, a belief that is only shared with Shiva while all of his children are in it for the money and the so called fame and because they had to. The Sen Song, instead of celebrating bending, believe that it is messing with the natural being of earth. Unfortunately, this belief has not been passed to the children either. All of the children hunger to be a bender in some way, especially Amir when he was younger, so they would not have to actually have to try to be good at something, a common misconception about bending.
The Sen Song are known for their brilliant execution of flips in groups, able to create patterns in the air. All of the children of the Sen Song were trained in acrobatics from age three though the majority of the acrobats are typically male. This is because most of the female children tend to stop when they hit puberty though in this generation of Sen Song acrobats two daughters of Shiva are still acrobats, Soraya being 15 and Parvati being 20.
Amir started training when he was three as did all children of the Sen Song among his four brothers since two of them, who were twins, were already married at the age of 23. Amir learned quickly and by the time he was five, was able to execute flips very well without the help of his siblings or father. His mother was even more impressed and spoiled him to bits, saying he was her favorite son. Of course, his other brothers did not find Amir's mastery of flips cute or enjoyable or of the cause to praise him constantly. Amir rubbed it in their faces whenever his mother gave him some rock candy she had gotten from Omashu when they past through.

The talented acrobat learned the hard way that one does not brag when your older brothers are all at least five years older than you and have twice as much muscle build as you and are stronger than you. The result was Amir getting his nose broken in an "accident" when he was eight, much to his mother's horror. She had Amir's oldest sister who was named Lakshmi work tirelessly to make sure there would be no scar but it was a futile effort because even nine years later, Amir's nose now has a bump on it and is off center slightly.
From then on, Amir knew to not brag about being his mother's favorite. He often chose to practice by himself, occasionally with his sister Soraya who he was very close with. She often saved him from chores and bad situations which just added to how spoiled he was. She taught him a good amount of the flips he knows how to do now for she often spied on their older brothers and picked up tricks from them and modified them. Soraya was taken away from acrobatics when she was twelve, Amir nine. After that, Amir began trying to train alone and he found that it was an effective method of training, maybe even better than training with Soraya.
Amir was inducted into the performing members of the Sen Song acrobats, much to Soraya's surprise which morphed into jealousy when she realized she would never be able to become an acrobat. Amir was overjoyed about the whole thing and began training even more than before.
When Amir turned thirteen he began show boating once more as he was praised for his performances and earned the Sen Song even more money than they had ever had before. Soraya was sixteen at the time and became very jealous of Amir for she knew that she was better than him. Finally, Soraya challenged Amir to see who was the better acrobat. Amir accepted the challenge, thinking it laughable that his older sister would be able to beat him. It was a simple challenge, who could do the most flips or other tricks in the air in one jump. Soraya won and promised that she wouldn't tell their older brothers about his loss if he convinced Shiva to let Soraya and their little sister who had been training with Soraya, Parvati, to join the Sen Song officially. His pride being a big issue, Amir complied with his older sister's request and Soraya was soon performing with the acrobats.
Amir continued to perform while traveling with the Sen Song in a caravan of sorts which is pulled along by emu horses. They have not ventured into the Fire Nation yet for fire of being captured for even if the Sen Song are a talented and happy people, they are not especially brave. Their numbers have practically doubled and the current buzz of the Sen Song is Lakshmi who is now pregnant with her first child and is making a very big fuss about it since she is currently seven months along.
Sample RP:"Maaaaa-ahhhh! I don't want to take Lakshmi into the next village for a check up. Can't Soraya or Parvati take her?" Amir whined, placing his large hands on his hips and stamping his feet briefly like a small child. A very pregnant woman who was standing a ways behind him rolled her eyes and remarked, "I would rather walk all the way to Lun Yang alone than have to walk to Tachi Dai with him.". She gestured toward Amir before putting her hands on her hips and walking toward even farther along the path the small group of the Sen Song were standing on.
"Amir, if you take Lakshmi, I let you off chore duty for the week." a plump woman with wide hips offered, standing almost directly in front of Amir and shaking her finger in his tanned face, making Amir sigh with annoyance and back away.
"There are about five million more things I would like to do than walk a pregnant, moody, temperamental woman to Tachi Dai." Amir argued. Lakshmi glared at him and began to reply with a slur of insults and protests, "Can't you see, Ma! He is so irresponsible and he would leave me alone somewhere then go off to find his latest lover who leaves in Omashu and would always meet him on the route between-". Amir cut her off quickly, anger written all over his face.
"Lakshmi, how do you know about that? Ma, that is not true, I swear. I am not meeting anyone in the forest. No one at all!"
Lakshmi smirked, clearly happy with the effect she had on Amir. She crossed her arms across her chest as their mother began a rant of her own. "You are with another one? Amir, how do you expect to hold up the family honor if you keep going off with village girls? I thought you were better than all your brothers but I guess that you are not. You are taking Lakshmi to the doctor and that is final. Lakshmi, keep a good eye on him and make sure he isn't flirting with anyone.".
"But Maaaaaaa. . . . . -" Amir began to say, removing his arms from his chest and waving them around, as if that would somehow fix his problem or give him an outlet for his anger. He was blushing as he said this though, a bit preoccupied with how Lakshmi found out about his latest "friend". Soraya better have not told her. he thought as he searched for the answer to his predicament.
"No buts, you are going with Lakshmi and that is final!"
Amir sighed, knowing he was not going to be able to win this fight. He was going to have to be content with taking Lakshmi to the doctor so that way he wouldn't be humiliated anymore about his love life.
"You are just jealous, Lakshmi." he muttered as he walked past here and began to walk down the path to Tachi Dai, not very fond of this little trip before it even started.
