Takeshi se promenait dans la rue, tout autour de lui mentionnait le problème ce soir, même les gens étaient excités à ce sujet. Jamais, dans sa vie, il n'avait entendu parler de probatoire, donc c'était une nouvelle expérience pour lui, dont il était intrigué. Il semblait y avoir des inscriptions pour participer à l'événement plus tard dans la nuit, et Takeshi pourrait envisager de participer. Mais pour l'instant, il devait se concentrer sur ce qu'il faisait; il devait acheter de la nourriture. Il a couru à travers la ville à la recherche du magasin; quand il est finalement arrivé au magasin, Takeshi a vu une énorme affiche pour le match probant, qui était le dernier « clou dans le cercueil » pour convaincre Takeshi à au moins aller. C'était une affiche colorée avec des lettres géantes annonçant le match entre les Fire Ferrets et The Fairy Tales, parlant de l'occasion de "montrer ce que vous avez" sur le côté inférieur.
Takeshi a eu la nourriture dont il avait besoin et est parti vers l'endroit où il vivait pour le moment. L'endroit n'était pas si mauvais, c'était une petite maison avec un propriétaire à qui Takeshi devait payer le loyer, mais le loyer en valait la peine parce qu'il y avait une petite zone à l'arrière où il pouvait continuer à s'entraîner sans lambeaux. Le seul problème était l'argent parce qu'il avait des... méthodes douteuses pour l'acquérir. Personne ne remarquera les pièces manquantes, n'est-ce pas? Le seul travail qu'il a réussi à trouver était de vendre du bois et de la pierre à une entreprise de construction et beaucoup de temps ces matériaux viennent des étages de propriétaire sans méfiance; pas le plus honnête d'os mais il lui a permis de mettre la terre en "bonne" utilisation et il a payé décemment. Takeshi se préparait à aller à la probatoire mais il s'est arrêté; quelque chose se sentait bizarre, il n'était tout simplement pas sûr si c'était bon ou mauvais.
【Full Name】
Takeshi Yamauchi

【Alias】
Quake- The nickname comes from his fondness of shaking the ground when angry.
【Age|Gender】
28|Male
【Nation】
Earth Kingdom
【Personality】
Takeshi is a rather outgoing person, he enjoys company (to an extent) and wouldn't mind making some friends. He can be very reckless at times but he prefers to use his (more-or-less) high intellect to get through obstacles. Honesty is appreciated but Takeshi realizes that lying can be necessary in some situations and will do so if it's to his convenience. He requires complete silence in moments of anger or concentration to keep his cool or his train of thought respectively and will lash out at those who do not respect this. There is a very short fuse on Takeshi as he will explode to almost anything, even the most minor of annoyances and is slightly unstable (nothing too serious, just has his "moments").
【History】
Akira was born in some nice house in the Earth Kingdom and lived sort of happily. He was adopted since his parents were presumed thieves who had supposedly changed their identities to evade the law. The adoptive family was of minor nobility and couldn't have kids for one reason or the other which is why they adopted Akira when he was a baby. His life with them didn't last long, though, as the home was attacked and the family was killed but Akira wasn't found. Years passed and Takeshi, now 7 years old, lived with an old man in a cabin in a swamp somewhat near the capital city. The boy's mind was blank, he got amnesia and forgot everything from the first 7 years of his life, which meant fresh start and new name (it was Takeshi; what the old man called him). This old man taught Takeshi earthbending basics but then inexplicably disappeared when Takeshi turned 8, he was just gone one day.
From that day, Takeshi survived by honing his skills by killing animals near the cabin with earthbending to survive. He learned some of the worst ways to kill like that, and gained incredible strength. He continued training, moving on to larger animals every day for the next 17 years, when he decided to return to the city and reuinite with society. He lived there and made many friends for the next 2 years of his life (while continuing his training) until one day that he was at the market buying food. A man was attempting to rob a stand of an old man to which Takeshi didn't respond well, so he killed the man. This got him in trouble with law enforcement so he fled the city and went to the cabin. The next year remains unknown as he lost his memory of that year (and that year only this time) but he seemed to live back at the city. Takeshi heard rumors of an ability known as lava bending and now wants to learn it by any means necessary.
【Element】
Earth-
Takeshi learned the basics of earthbending when he was a child from the old man who cared for him, but when this man had to leave Takeshi for unknown reasons, the boy began to learn on his own. His instructor was the small animals around him, well, their bodies, actually; you see, he decided to use what he learned and enhance it for combat and survival and every day he'd get his food from killing some frog or small rodent using his skills and eventully moved to bigger animals. This continued for over 19 years until he became extremely good. Feeling like he has learned total mastery, he now pursues lava bending.
【Equipment】
Takeshi carries a small bag of rocks to utilize, should he ever be caught by enemies without earth in the area, and he also has two large knives made from platinum, which he stole, so metalbenders can't stop them, should he need to use them and normal supplies like food and drink.
【Others】
Takeshi has some "issues" (for lack of a better name) that can trigger his "moments", it's not entirely known what they are, but they seem to happen when he's around ice or the color turquoise (though these don't cause them directly), it is unknown why these things trigger as there is no (known) link to his personal history.
