A Guest Mist by our very own Aden:
An 820 year old Metal Bender who hails from a Island with a Quasi-Avatar Cycle. 'Nuff said.'
Name: Zumoto (Hello Moto!)
Age: 820 (explained below) (*phew!* And here I was just about to stop reading…^^)
Gender: Male
Nation: Nomadic (You know who else was nomadic? ….hippies)
Bender: Yes, Metalbender (*prepares rotten vegetable launcher* Oh, this’ll be good…)
Physical Appearance:
Zumoto stands 71 inches (five feet, eleven inches) tall, weighs 260 pounds, 50 of which is added on by his armor, has brown hair and blue eyes with a silvery shimmer. His arms and legs are very muscular, and he has a bit of a gut. (Some one’s been eating their Wheaties >.>)
Clothing/Armor:
Zumoto wears a very large and very heavy tempered steel plate mail vest under a black sleeveless shirt(because you should always dress in layers!) with a silver gi, steel shimmels (Shimmel? ….Shimmel? ….wait, what!?), blue shorts (Ah yes, nothing completes a set of plate mail like shorts…) that extend to just under the knees, steel ankle guards (Got a bit of an Achilles Heel, there?) and leather shoes(Avast! A shred of normality!).
Weapons:
Zumoto can use his shimmels(what in the blue Hell is a Shimmel!? *jumps off a cliff*) to make two steel blades extend forty (40) inches from his wrists and use them as blades (Using Blades as Blades, you say? That’s just crazy enough to work! Get this boy a freakin’ medal!). Zumoto can bend these blades into any shape or size, and even fire them as projectiles and ingest the steel (I don’t even wanna know the indigestion that causes…), bending the projectile into his shimmels and restore the blades. Zumoto also bent his teeth out of his head(With what? A pair of pliars?) and has a set of steel teeth (Grills? I wasn’t aware the Avaverse had gone gangster…<.>……>.> Flavor Flaaaaaavvvv!), and can adjust the sharpness of his teeth at will with his bending
.
Personality:
Zumoto is very chivalrous and very prideful; he won't accept defeat unless his life is in jeopardy. He is vicious and reckless in battle, and never backs down. Zumoto holds a grudge against one of Aang's past lives (Yes…. Because hating those who died hundreds of years ago is perfectly reasonable…), but bears no ill will against the current Avatar. Zumoto heals incredibly fast and does not bleed when bearing his wrist blades (Must have a lot of iron in his blood.).
Background:
Zumoto was born 800 years ago(But his Age says 820 years old? *pounds calculator* It don't make no sense!) on Kogimi Island (Ko-gimme’ a break...). Kogimi Island was an island in the south seas with four tribes, and those tribes were inhabited mostly by Earthbenders. However, Zumoto's tribe, the Hagane tribe, though Earthbenders, had a tradition not unlike the Avatar Cycle. Once in a generation, a member of the tribe would be born to bend metal (Naturally…. Now how did that happen again?). Zumoto is the latest, and currently last, member of this cycle. The other three tribes would torment the Hagane tribe (Other Tribes: “Hagane’s got a Big butt!”). The Hagane tribe would constantly send messages out to anyone who would listen and send for help, but help never came (Should’ve used AirBison Delivery... ‘You mail on time or your money back!’). Eventually, Zumoto took this into his own hands and obliterated the other three tribes (Psssshh! About time!). Around the same time, the current Avatar, a fire bender (…AND a waterbender, AND an earthbender, AND an airbender), finally got word about Kogimi Island and misinterpreted the situation and obliterated the Hagane tribe. When Zumoto confronted him, the current Avatar froze him in a block of ice and threw him into the ocean. (Perfectly reasonable… Those Avatars were never ones to think about their actions.)
Time passed, as time does, and Zumoto would drift around the South Pole (and get a nice tan in the process ^^). Eventually, 800 years later to be precise, he was found by a traveling circus (I suppose the circus was booked to perform for Squeaky the Penguin’s Barmitzvah?) and put on display as "Frostillicus, The Centuries-Old Man", traveling the world (I suppose they just kept him in the fridge the whole time…). When the circus reached the outer wall of Ba Sing Se, Zumoto broke free and slew the members of the circus (Because he just didn’t feel like breaking free any time before that…). Zumoto encountered future shock from a world almost a millennium after his own, and went on a rampage. He was captured by Ba Sing Se's Dai Li operatives and expelled from the city (I thought he went ape-sh** outside the wall? O.o). Zumoto got word of the war (cuz anyone could shout news of the war to him before getting killed by his rampage…) and has relentlessly started killing firebenders on sight. Whether this is tied into his encounter with the firebending Avatar or not is undetermined (I thought we established that all Avatars were firebenders?).
Zumoto's style of fighting, Metalbending, is based off of the Indonesian Martial Art Pencak Silat. Better known as just Silat ("fighting by using techniques of self-defense"), this is a Southeast Asian martial art with roots in the culture of the Malay World. This art is widely known in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines, and Singapore but can also be found in varying degrees among the Malay-affiliated communities in Thailand. Silat is a relatively hard-fisted style, which is very appropriate for the sheer toughness of metal.
Sample RP:
Zumoto was surrounded by 10 Fire Nation soldiers with polearms (Pole-like arms that could put Stretch Armstrong to shame…. SHAME!).
"Surrender, stranger. You're in Fire Nation territory," said the lead soldier.
"I am? Really? Last I recall, this was part of the Earth Kingdom. And there was an Air Monastery (could’ve sworn they were Air Temples…>.>) about 30 miles from here," said Zumoto.
"Silence! You're outnumbered. Surrender," said the lead soldier.
"Only 10 of you? That hardly seems fair," said Zumoto. "I mean, against me, you'd need at least 50 men!"
"That's it! Rip that inferior's arms off," the lead soldier exclaimed. (All your arms are belong to us!)
Zumoto stood in his stance and rotated his arms in a circle above his head, and the metal tips of the soldiers' weapons melted! The metal slinked around and rotated around Zumoto.
"Prepare to die," said Zumoto.
Zumoto bent the metal into a pair of hookswords and started grabbing the soldiers and throwing them into one another! (Don’t worry about physics or anything…. No, seriously… continue…) Zumoto plunged his swords through one of the soldiers' chest, killing him! (Stabbing with a hook sword… I wasn’t aware you could stab with a curved surface.)
"Well, do you know what you're up against now?" Zumoto asked.
The lone fire bender, the leader of the 10-man unit, was alone with Zumoto. He stood ready to strike. Zumoto smiled and crossed his arms. Then he brought his arms to his sides and 40-inch blades extended from his arm shimmels! (SHIMMEL! *head explodes*) Zumoto's teeth became razor-sharp.
"You don't scare me," the fire bender shouted.
The fire bender charged and Zumoto caught his fist with his teeth, biting his hand in half! (That’s called Cannabalism, and it is indded frowned upon in most civilized societies ^^
The fire bender's hand was a fountain of blood! Zumoto slashed the fire bender's arms halfway through, then his legs, then his neck! Then Zumoto stuck his right arm blade through the fire bender and ripped off his torso, smiling a sick, steel smile. (Baraka, much?) Zumoto re-formed his steel shimmels and the torso fell to the ground.
"Well, I think that's enough," said Zumoto.
Zumoto left the area, leaving it a sea of blood. (I hope he plans on cleaning up his mess…)
