If you don't see your name here LET ME KNOW. I checked what I could but I am only human. In fact, I know I forgot one but I can't for the life of me figure out who it is I owe. >.<;
Anyways, off to the doc. Here's for some good news!]
[[Shin has difficulty writing/reading when he's thinking straight, let alone when he's emotional so the spelling is crazy.]]

☠ - chi blockin issa skill not alla us have. So I took ther hands. This is equality. You can have them back now.
❤ - You look good when you run. Almost as good as you look from behind.
The Equalist base is suddenly ablaze. You try desperately to escape, but only manage at a cost: your hands have become severely burned, perhaps unable to ever be used properly again
[..you guys are cruel with these nightmares]
Unable to paint. Unable to massage. Spirits, what could she even do anymore? She took a shaky breath as she swiped the back of her hand over her eyes. The pain from the dream still lingered but Aquene was too scared to actually look at her palms.
YOU’RE IT! Rules are: copy this to 10 other beautiful people/blogs who you think deserve this message! Keep the game going and make everyone feel beautiful!
Shin rallied quickly, despite his knees turning to jelly and his sudden inability to run, despite wanting very much to. "Ah yeaaaah. Thanks. Glad you think so!"
Now please step a little closer so I can embrace you like a new brother shank you.
Was updating my Lieutenant RP blog I made to go along with ScotsAlex's NonBending Amon (i.e., we reject the finale and substitute his tragic past lie as the truth).
Headcanons and brain-vomitting below, concrit appreciated to avoid information overload to prospective new RP partners and ermagerd speshul snoflake syndrome.
*edit* Ok, pal just mentioned it's 'like reading literary footnotes, rather than content', so going over stuff in AIM about changing it up a bit/understanding what's needed.
The About section on the blog has all the Canon character info we were given (from the ATLA/LOK wiki), so pretty much anything else I add to that is headcanon, I thought? But friend mentioned it's 'an eyeful', so idk, still trying to figure out what's the issue.
Birthdate: 127 ASC (Based off Wang Shi Tong's Calendar and IRL sexagenary cycle upon which the Four Pillars/Chinese Calendar is based: Feb 6, 1970 – Jan 26, 1971/Yang/Metal/Dog)
In Chinese Taoist thought, Metal attributes are considered to be firmness, rigidity, persistence, strength and determination. The metal person is controlling, ambitious, forceful and set in their ways as metal is very strong; and they are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone. The metal person is also materialistic, business oriented and good at organization and stability. However the metal person can also appreciate luxury and enjoy the good things in life. Just as metal can conduct electricity, the Metal person has strong impulses and generative powers and can bring about changes and transformations for those who come into contact with them.
In Chinese Medicine, metal governs the Lung and the Large intestine, nose and skin. The negative emotion associated with metal is grief, while the positive emotion is courage. Many sources aimed at a Western audience equate Metal with the attributes of the element Air.
The third trine consists of the Tiger, Horse, and Dog. These three signs seek a true lover, and are like-minded in their pursuit of humanitarian causes. Idealistic and impulsive, the Tiger, Horse and Dog follow the beat of their own drum. Defiant against injustice, these three signs wilt without large amounts of physical affection and loyal support for causes. They are productive, enthusiastic, independent, engaging, dynamic and honorable. They can also be rash, rebellious, quarrelsome, hot-headed, reckless, anxious, moody, disagreeable, and stubborn. Although these three signs are loyal, they can be very protective when lied to. The three signs do not enjoy being told what to do, but will listen when it is a person they love or trust whole-heartedly. These three animals can also be particular and will get aggressive when something true to them is broken.
-Background-
[[Mun is basing The Lieutenant's family genealogy on Mongolian tribes and culture. During the time period LOK is based upon, citizens in large cities such as Shanghai considered non-city natives to be 'bumpkins'. Despite the obviously strong nationalist pride of Republic City's populace, I am taking liberties to say that The Lieutenant's specific ethnic background was considered in the same light (i.e., backwoods yokel) to add to his backstory and legitimate reasons as to why he faced social prejudice, aside from being a nonbender. The Earth Kingdom is canonically said to be diverse in cultural and ethnic background, so felt basing a nonbending group of loosely affiliated nomadic tribes might not be out of the question.]]
Chakhar- nomadic herdsman originating from the harsher, high-altitude mountain ranges of the Earth Kingdom.
"The United Republic is located along the eastern coast of the Mo Ce Sea. In the vicinity of Republic City, the coastline is lined with mountains that cover much of the republic. The mountainous areas around Republic City are known to have a cold climate, while Republic City has a more temperate weather pattern."
The Chakhar attempted to remain separate from the United Republic of Nations, but after a bitter and brief struggle to preserve their heritage, eventually ceded.
Cultural moral precepts have since survived the Industrialization Age and focus on truthfulness, fidelity, help in hardship, unity, self-control, fortitude, veneration of nature, veneration of the state and veneration of parents.
Traditional words such as temul signified a way to describe creativity and passion; temul was used in several Chakhar words and had the meaning to: "rush headlong, to be inspired or to have a sense of creative thought", and even to take a flight of fancy. It can be seen from Chakhar perspective as “the look in the eye of a horse that is racing where it wants to go, no matter what the rider wants."
