Character's Full Name:
Sela Xiu-tay
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Is He/She a Canon Character?: No
Nationality: Presumed Fire Nation
Location: Calls swamps home
Allegiance: Swampbenders, Naje
Is He/She a Bender?: Yes, Firebender
Appearance:
Sela looks more like a rich nobleman than a travelling street performer. Though he doesn't wear the red of a firebender, he prefers to wear rich purple and lavender colors that somehow tinge his shoulder length black hair in the same light. He's a bit taller than average for a person his age and is somewhat lanky and lean.
Though he appears at first a respectable genteleman, one would feel unnerved after being in his presence for longer than a minute. One reason for this is that his eyes are difficult to make out, as they are always squenched shut in a wide grin, behind bangs or under the shadow of a wide brimmed hat.
The other reason is that Sela doesn't ever stop smiling. He always seems to be in a cheery mood in the most dismal situations.
Despite being a traveller, his clothes are always in the most pristine condition.
History: Sela doesn't remember anything of his former life. He woke up in a swamp just in time to divert a flame blast from a young boy (who he later discovered was a girl).
He attempted to learn firebending, but ceased his attempts after he realized the affect it was having on the swamp and the swampbenders. Instead he opted to train with the swamp benders in an effort to gain some semblance of control.
His presence greatly frustrated Naje, and the two would often battle. One of the swampbenders remarked how they appeared more like a pair of performing monkeyfish than two battling teens. That was where they got the idea for their performance act.
After continued attacks from a fire nation squad, Sela realized it was him they were after so offered to leave with Najes companionship. The two have been travelling ever since.
Personality He has the mannerisms of a politician. He sqpaks eloquently and yet always speaks as though he knows more than he is saying. He is polite, well mannered and reserved. Though he is a bit of prankster, his looks and charm has drawn in the majority of crowds when performing.
Strengths: Sela excels in mid to long range combat and acrobatic agility is his primary strength. Though he may appear unsavory he speaks with charisma that can earn any persons trust. Over time he has become quiet adept with a bo-staff.
Weaknesses: Sela still can't control his bending that well. The most he can do is create fire circles only by concentrating on the twirling tips of his bo-staff. He also never really recovered from his head injury and may black out if that particular spot is hit too hard.
Personal Belongings: A bo-staff, any peice of flashy rings and necklaces he can get his hands on.
