C'est pas vrai.
Emplacement: Anneau inférieur au mur jusqu'au anneau intermédiaire
Aujourd'hui a été un jour inhabituel pour commencer votre premier jour au bureau. Surtout quand ton bureau s'appelle le Dai Li. L'administration des villes avait décidé de fermer les portes de l'anneau inférieur à l'anneau moyen, en arrêtant tout le mouvement entre les deux sections de la plus grande métropole du monde. Inutile de dire que l'événement d'une fermeture a été un petit désagrément pour les gens de la bague inférieure. Le mécontentement public devait se produire et le Dai Li où sur les lieux pour surveiller le comportement des foules. Après tout, lorsqu'ils font partie d'un grand groupe, les paysans montrent souvent leurs vraies couleurs.
Pour Dao, c'était un jour spécial. Commencer votre travail avec un verrouillage de la bague inférieure est quelque chose de très rare parmi les Dai Li. Mais avec quelque chose de grand qui se passe même l'autorité culturelle de Ba Sing Se avait besoin de tous les hommes qu'ils pouvaient rassembler, peu importe comment ils sont verts. Pour ce jour, le jeune maître de terre a été associé à Jian, un agent Dai Li senior avec 20 ans d'expérience dans le domaine. Sans aucun doute la qualité la plus remarquable de Jian était sa longue queue de poney noir qui a commencé à devenir gris. D'un alliage sombre, les deux agents observèrent la foule en silence alors que les paysans devenaient plus mécontents par l'annonce faite par le gardien. Ça n'a pas été long jusqu'à ce que Dao rompe le silence.
Hé Jian, tu devrais vraiment teindre tes cheveux. Une fois que vous obtenez tout noir à nouveau, il vous fera paraître 10 ans plus jeune. Joké l'agent débutant alors qu'il essayait de cacher sa nervosité. Après tout, c'était son premier jour et il voulait faire bonne impression. Non seulement sur Jian, son agent principal direct, mais aussi sur l'illustre Samir, le chef du Dai Li. Un homme que tu veux vraiment garder de ton bon côté, quoi qu'il arrive.
Jian, soupiré, je sais que tu es nerveux. Chaque agent est nerveux le premier jour, il n'y a pas d'exception à cela. Mais rappelez-vous pourquoi nous sommes ici, restez concentrés sur le travail et coupez le bavardage et les blagues. Nous sommes ici parce que nous avons reçu des renseignements selon lesquels une cellule anti-gouvernementale veut provoquer une émeute. Le huis clos est là pour leur donner une opportunité, une fois qu'on a détecté un comportement suspect dans la foule, on les arrête. Alors garde tes yeux épluchés et ta bouche fermée. Faites-moi savoir dès que vous remarquez quelque chose de suspect.
Dao a une fois de plus déplacé son attention vers la foule. Il savait que ce n'était pas le moment de plaisanter. Les Dai Li sont des professionnels, les gardiens qui protègent l'ancienne culture et l'ordre du capital des royaumes terrestres contre toutes sortes de groupes qui tentent de saper l'administration et l'autorité des Rois de la Terre. Le jeune agent détestait ces groupes. La seule raison pour laquelle Ba Sing Se est devenue la plus grande ville du monde était son ordre social rigide. Une fois que l'ordre s'effondrera, l'économie de la ville s'arrêtera. Le chaos et l'anarchie régneraient suprêmement et la ville imploserait. Quelque chose que Dao n'aurait jamais laissé arriver sur sa montre.
Le jeune agent Dai Li a encore scanné la foule. Chaque personne qu'il observait cherche un détail qui pourrait sembler hors de lui. Paysan après paysan où scanné du haut jusqu'aux orteils jusqu'à ce que ses yeux tombaient sur un homme particulièrement bien construit. Ses vêtements teintés de bleu et sa couleur de peau exotique revenaient à son arrière-plan de la tribu de l'eau. Dao a jugé cet homme lanky d'être quelques années plus vieux que lui-même. Un homme dans sa prime, un âge parfait pour un guerrier. Pourtant, cet homme de la tribu des eaux avait l'air d'avoir l'impression de ne pas se sentir à sa place. Dao a prévenu son compagnon.
Jian, qu'est-ce que tu penses de ce paysan de la tribu des eaux? Il semble hors de sa place.
Avant que Jian ne puisse même répondre un jeune homme proche de la personne de la tribu de la tribu de la tribu de la tribu de l'eau a commencé à crier "Down with the Earthking! L'avatar retournera et nous libérera de l'oppression! » Quelques-uns des gens de la foule qui ont frappé avec crainte tandis que d'autres ont veillé à garder leur distance de l'homme désobéissant. Alors que Dao regardait la scène se dérouler, il savait instantanément que c'était le moment d'emménager. Les deux agents de Dai Li sont sortis de l'ombre et ont pénétré dans la foule. La plupart des paysans ont vite sauté de côté au moment où ils ont remarqué l'approche de Dai Li, ils espéraient tous que les agents ne viendraient pas pour eux. Ceux qui n'ont pas eu de chance, qui n'ont pas été assez rapides, là où Dao s'est simplement mis de côté alors qu'il se précipitait à travers le corbeau. Les paysans trébuchaient l'un sur l'autre alors que les deux agents de Dai Li approchaient de leur cible.
À la surprise de Dao, le jeune homme n'a pas fui la scène. Il était juste debout là alors que la foule se dispersait et qu'un espace ouvert était formé autour des trois hommes. Dao s'est évanoui. Tu es censé courir pour rendre ça un peu intéressant pour moi. Tu fais en sorte que ça soit facile.
Lentement, l'homme s'est retourné. Pour la première fois, le jeune agent Dai Li pouvait jeter un coup d'œil au dissident. C'était un citoyen typique. Ses vêtements étaient bon marché mais sa construction musclée trahit qu'il a beaucoup exercé. Peut-être dans une école de flexion ou d'arts martiaux, mais il avait defenitly reçu une formation quelque part La caractéristique la plus remarquable de l'homme était le tatouage d'un lotus blanc sur son bras supérieur gauche. Pendant un moment, il regarda les agents Dai Li et sourit. Trop facile? J'espérais juste que des clowns verts se montreraient avant de frapper avec ses pieds droits sur le sol pour soulever un peu de pierre. Avec un seul coup de poing les rochers où envoyer voler vers Dao.
Fumiko

20 | Female | Homosexual | Firebender
Occupation
Fumiko is a student in Ba Sing Se's University, entering the prestigious academy due to its generous scholarship. Before she was a student, however, she's a farmer.
Place of Origin
Fumiko is a born citizen of Ba Sing Se and know nothing outside its walls apart from those that she gleaned in the rumor mill and the texts that reside in the University.
Residence
Her family lives in the nicer side of the Lower Ring. It may not be much, but Fumiko thinks that it's better than living in shacks that could be toppled by the wind. They have a humble and slightly dilapidated two-story apartment where her and her extended family lives. It's rowdy most of the time.
Appearance
At first glance, under the robes she wears in the Middle Ring and rags in the Lower Ring, Fumiko could be considered slight and lanky with the way her shoulder slouches and her head bows to avoid attention. Under that appearance lies quiet power, however, her body lean and taut through intense and dedicated work in the Agrarian Zone. Contrary to the students of the University wherein their skins are fair and hands soft, Fumiko's skin is sun-kissed due to hours spent outside and her hands hard and filled with callouses due to farming. Her hair (contrary to the picture above) is black that sometimes reflect the orange sun setting below the Wall. Her hair was long before but she cut it short so as to keep her preparation time short. Washing her long hair to get rid of dirt with a family of more than five in the Lower Ring was simply too much work.
As the sole member of her family attending Ba Sing Se's University, Fumiko's given nicer clothes that could help her blend in in the University, usually wearing a long sleeved shirt under a sleeveless robe -- all shades of dark green -- cinched with brown sash that acts like a belt, finished off with black pants and dark shoes. Dark clothes hide dirt better, in Fumiko's opinion.
Personality
Fumiko is a woman of quiet determination. Most of her life, she's been looked down on by strangers. Living in the Lower Ring meant knowing when to stand her ground to fight; and working and studying in the Middle Ring meant knowing when to bow her head and apologize even if things are not her fault. Coward, she may be called, but she doesn't let this affect her. For her, good work and great results are all that matter, and if it meant gritting her teeth and accepting the insults, then so be it. Determination makes quite a good combination with curiosity. It has been her drive since she was a kid, wanting to learn of the food they make, of how it's sold, and to who it's sold. As more answers are given, more questions pop up. Years of asking led her to the University where she knew most of her questions would be answered and her curiosity be sated.
Fumiko's greatest fears would be the Dai Li learning of her firebending and being killed along with her family, all her sacrifices and efforts wasted. Her fatal flaw would be her selfishness and how she could place her life above the others. Under her politeness and friendliness, there lies a merciless side. If she were to see a fellow Earth Citizen firebend or give quiet support to the Fire Nation, then she would not report it. However, if said fellow citizen was to be judged by the others and be caught by the Dai Li or those in higher authority, then she'd be more than welcome to turn a blind-eye to it and would not defend that person even if they were to beg at her feet.

Skills
Firebending: Fumiko is an amateur in firebending as she only received few lessons at it, mostly composed of simple breathing techniques and how to create flames as well as extinguish them. Her firebending is uncontrolled and she's mostly a walking fire hazard. She can throw around fire but she can't control its impact, whether if the fire simply dissipates when it hits a target, only resulting into a mild inconvenience or if it results into a large fire that causes major burns.
Fighting: Living in the Lower Ring means the occasional scuffles and fights that break out in desperation. When cornered, Fumiko can throw a mean punch and dodge, courtesy of her family training each other in self-defense. Her strength and stamina comes from working in the Agrarian Zone while her agility is honed by the friendly harassment of her family and the not-so-friendly ones from her peers in the University. She can also run pretty fast.
Navigation: Fumiko knows every street corner and every path in the Lower Ring and Middle Ring -- which to avoid and which to frequent. It comes from knowing it all her life. She also has the ability of blending in the crowds, something instinctual that came from her Uncle being disappeared by the Dai Li.
Research: Being in University meant sifting through tons of materials and acquiring relevant information. Due to her curiosity, her mind contains a mishmash of knowledge that could be useful depending on who asked. After all, who knew that cabbages could be used as a laxative?
History
Fumiko is born in the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se in a large family of nine, including her: one grandfather, one grandmother, her mother, two uncles, an aunt, and two cousins -- boy and girl. Their humble home, despite its less than ideal state and the occasional lack of food on the table, was warm and they treasured each and every one of each other. Fumiko's family is supportive, with her grandparents teaching her tricks in farming, one of her uncles teaching her how to firebend with the other how to fight, her mother teaching her how to read alongside her cousins, and cousins who inadvertently taught her how to have fun and dodge fast rock projectiles.
Unfortunately, bad things just happen. Firebending is illegal within the walls of Ba Sing Se, more so when it's in the Lower Ring wherein the Dai Li is an uncontested power and very few would dare go against them. Fumiko, a sire of a Fire Nation traitor soldier who's life was forfeit before her birth, was a firebender like her uncle -- the brother of her father. She was taught to conceal her control of fire and to never let anyone know or see of her ability outside of family. For a time, Fumiko thought of this as a childish game but kept her uncle's promise in mind. Childish thoughts ended when her uncle simply disappeared without a trace when she was thirteen. Older members of her families banned her from firebending and no complaints where said in her part, a part of her knowing the truth behind her uncle's disappearance.
That was the beginning of the fear and scorn she feels for the Dai Li and the Fire Nation. After all, if the Fire Nation didn't instigate their so-called war, then the Earth Kingdom wouldn't sic their Dai Li agents to eliminate who they think are Fire Nation loyalists and spies. All those unspent energy from fear and loathing was all focused in farming and her studies. Just because she found herself powerless didn't meant that she had to succumb to weakness and hopelessness. Believing that the Walls of Ba Sing Se would not be breached, she turned her attention of bettering her life and her family's within the walls; and the only way to do so was to rise in status. In her heart, she thought that if she became rich enough, then she could pull her family away from the Lower Ring and into the Middle where they would not be harassed and no longer worry about food in the table. And if power comes in her hand, they wouldn't be bothered and pushed around like the Dai Li did to her Uncle.
Ambitions
Fumiko wanted to rise above her station and pull her family along with her. She wanted to have nice things, to have a stable home, and to not worry about someone going hungry in the dinner table because there simply wasn't enough food to go around. But first, in order to have the chance to settle in the Middle Ring, she needs to graduate the University and have plans on how to make money. Of course, she could always offer her services and no doubt working for the University would elicit some good money, but she had a feeling it would only be enough for her. Fumiko, however, is optimistic in her future. Maybe it wouldn't be in her immediate future, maybe it would be achieved when she's old and gray, but she's seeing herself owning a vegetable company. Now, wouldn't that be great?
Other
- Fumiko doesn't like her obvious Fire Nation name thus introduces herself as "Fumi" to others.
