Name: Takumi Ikasama
Age: 23
Nation of Origin: Water Tribe, Currently resides in the Fire Nation
Gender: Male
Bender? If so, what kind?: Intermediate Poisonbender – Takumi is able to produce poison from his own body. The poison’s effects ranges from mild sickness to death, however the poison has to enter the body somehow, whether by a small cut or by breathing it in; it doesn’t absorb into the skin. He usually utilizes this power by lightly coating his fingers in it (however he can call poison to any part of his body, even his mouth) and secretly planting it somewhere that could enter the body, for example; on the lip of a cup. He can also produce a poisonous gas, but this he doesn’t have much control over and is mostly defensive – when he’s nervous, he emits a gas that ranges from making you ill to knocking you unconscious, depending on the level of nervousness he was experiencing. He can’t waterbend and even though he is quick with his hands and feet, he isn’t much of fighter as he can’t handle long and/or intense physical activity. He mainly uses his poison surreptitiously and can consume any kind of poison without any ill effects and add it to his array of poisons that he can create from his body.
Group: Fire Nation Royal Advisor/Diplomat
Appearance: Takumi has black, curly hair that curls mysteriously about his face and intelligent dark red eyes. Never seen without a complacent smile, he has a tall, lithe build and pale skin. Almost seems delicate at times.
Personality: Always mysteriously smiling, you often couldn’t tell what he was truly feeling. He always acts kind and thoughtful and combining this with his striking looks has made him quite famous among ladies. Takumi is very charming and persuasive, with a silver-tongue that makes him the efficient advisor and diplomat that he is. A sophisticated individual, he seems very tolerant and harmless with his constant, pleasant smile, and soft-spoken politeness, but in reality, he is a sharp, devious, double-sided man that always seems to have a hidden agenda and a trick or two up his sleeve. Takumi enjoys outwitting his foes, tasting poisons (as strange as it sounds) and dislikes the cold and water, as he can’t swim and it dilutes his powers.
History: Born in the water tribe without the trademark warm brown hair and skin, Takumi was almost immediately isolated from the other, normal water tribe children and even adults. He seemed more like a fire nation child with his pale skin and pitch black hair and his mother was blamed for not being faithful to her water tribe husband and killed herself from the shame. His father having already abandoned them; Takumi grew up alone. He was also quite frail, never able to stay outside in the cold for too long, even with the thickest of jackets and overcoats piled upon him. He mostly stayed inside, quiet and withdrawn, as opposed to other, more lively children, who played together in the snow. He was never bullied; most left him alone, frightened of his dark red eyes. He discovered early on that he had control over poison; having emitted a poisonous gas one day upon a particularly passionate feeling of resent at age 6, knocking nearby people unconscious. It was never determined that he was the cause; however he felt something and discovered his powers. He practiced them from that moment on, calling poison to his fingers and furtively coating objects that others would touch and consume so he could watch the results. At age 14, he left the water tribe. The people were glad to see him off and left him near the edge of a large Fire Nation city. There, he broke out of his solitary shell, and turned out to be quite the suave charmer. He gained popularity and influence fast, so that when he rose to Royal Advisor and Diplomat at age 18, he’d already achieved an impressive number of contacts and connections ranging from the high classes and famous aristocrats to the shadowy bosses of the criminal underworld. He became a highly famous and respected person and now, while he isn’t off traveling to foreign cities as a Diplomat representing the Fire Lord himself, he’s either attending to the Fire Lord as a trusted advisor, performing whatever task his Lord had given him or frequenting the Fire Nation palace and capital overseeing the nation. No one knows of his ability to control poison and most assume he is unable to bend at all, which adds to how harmless he seems and gives him an edge of underestimation. Along with this, none of his Fire Nation acquaintances realize he was born in the water tribe.
RP SAMPLE: Takumi was traversing the dark alleyways, having finished a meeting with an old acquaintance. He had to ask a favor and was satisfied with the result; though he never doubted his ability to persuade the man.
The alleyway was dingy and damp with mud and Takumi was beginning to be glad of the fact that he’d removed the robes that marked him as a Royal Advisor of the Fire Lord when something suddenly tackled him in the darkness. It was a young woman and Takumi, though nearly knocked to the ground, was able to hold his ground and firmly grasp the woman’s arms before she could stumble to the floor.
“Are you fine?” he asked concernedly.
“P-Please,” she gasped. “Help me; he’s going to hurt me!”
A man appeared, holding a knife and Takumi recognized him as a common thug under the employment of the associate he’d just visited.
“Now, hand over your money and no one will-” he stopped short at catching sight of Takumi’s face. “You!” he recoiled, horrified. “Y-you’re that guy that the Boss had warned everybody of….!” He turned tail and fled, tossing a frightened “Forgive me!” behind him.
Takumi, seeing the danger was clear, patted the woman’s shoulder. “He is gone now. Has he harmed you in any way?”
The woman, still tightly clinging to his front, shakily answered, “N-no, I ran away before he got a chance to…”
“Here, I will lead you out of these dangerous surroundings.” Noting that she probably wouldn’t be letting go of him any time soon, Takumi slowly began forward, heading towards open air. He emerged into the town square, an open, usually lively place, but now quite empty as it was late at night.
He carefully extricated her from his form and noticed, under the lamplight, that she was the daughter of a high, Fire Nation aristocrat that hadn’t warmed up to him, being old and wise and of the kind that considered his young age and rapid rising to his esteemed status a liability to the Lord. His favor might turn for him now…
“How are you, milady? Do you need to sit down?” he questioned gently.
The woman peeked from her fingers and, noticing her savior’s beautiful face and her arms still around him, blushed before quickly removing herself from him. “I-I’m fine. Thank you for saving me, Mr. ...?”
Takumi smiled. “Takumi Ikasama, Royal Advisor and Diplomat to the respected Fire Lord.”
She gasped, recognizing his face now. She’d seen him about the palace, surrounded by both men and woman at times. She’d yearned to talk to him and experience his stunning smile for herself alone, but her father had always warned her of him.
“A-ah! I am Hitomi Yuko, daughter of Jizumo Yuko. I-I am sorry to burden you.”
“You needn’t worry yourself,” Takumi smiled, kindly. “It was no trouble and I would have done the same for you even if I was faced with a hundred thugs. You are worth much more than that, Lady Hitomi.”
Hitomi blushed. His beautiful ruby eyes looked so sincere along with his calm smile; she really wondered what her father saw so negatively in this man.
“Thank you,” Hitomi stuttered, flustered.
Takumi smiled, before softly taking her arm. “Now come. I shall accompany you home; your father must truly be worried…”
Hitomi smiled, nodding happily and followed by his side dutifully. She shyly glanced up at his face and noted blissfully that he was smiling that gentle, thoughtful smile of his, positive he was thinking of her. And he was; only it went more along the lines of how convenient and beneficial this day was…
Special Abilities: Poisonbending, and depends heavily on his social abilities and extensive connections, as he isn’t a fighter
(The RP Sample seems like a mini-story. XD Sorry if it drags on too long; this is probably one of the longest profiles I’ve ever made.)
