Just another day in republic city.

Republic City, the "be all end all" of the four great nations where harmony can come together and diversity is fully accepted among everyone. At least that's the easiest thing to say when you form a city that's meant to house folks and extort them for copious amounts of money that's used to fund stupid government projects and research. Some of which has nothing to do with the best interest of people but rather the best interest of the people making these dumb ideas. Laying down on the end of a street corner, a man would've had his head resting in his hand, his pinky tapping against his temple as his chocolate complexion perplexed a good sum of people around him. This was because his attire was clearly of that from an airbending temple, and yet airbenders weren't known to be so...dark. Putting it lightly. The northern air temple is where this young man hails from. A man who at birth was named Xao.

Taken in by Guru Shun Tsung at the air temple from a young age, he was raised in the ways of bending by his teachers and peers but grew rather tired of the life of repeated meditation. As such, he high tailed it out of there! Refusing to cut his back length dreadlocks in favor of having an arrow stamped on his forehead. Alas, one must wonder if by nature the young man is a nomad, what brings him to a city full of unsettling noisy busy-bodies?

Xao:-looks down at his watch-Alright.....it's time.

Xao would've spread his arms out! Air swirling around his body to lift him up and onto his feet as they planted him softly onto the ground! He kept the air going in a whirling display, catching the eye of some of the people around him as they began to stop and stare, to hopefully see something new and interesting they hadn't before! When Xao was fully stood, he held his hands over towards his right side, the palms of his hands facing each other as the air began to curl and swirl between the brief spaces of them! The momentum building as more and more people began to watch as the man's hands' glowed for a second!.... Before he began to swirl tiny marbles in a circle using a small air funnel.



The crowds wonder and amazement began to turn...stale. Frustrated groans and moans began to leave the mouth of the crowd people and they began to drift back to their normal everyday lives.

Xao: Oh come on! This is gold right?! Look at the pattern of the m-

A tomato hit Xao straight in the face. His eyes closed as he stood there with a small frown on his face and the slippery surface of the crushed tomato slid painfully slow down his face before hitting the ground with a "plop".

Xao: Maybe I deserved that.

A sliver of gold it's way into his pot and he waved a sincere thank you with his hand before picking up the garment and reattaching it to his hip.

Xao: I'm almost starting to miss the simple life where I actually could just pick fruit for food. Cant' eat spirit vines....

Ever since Korra had converged the worlds into one, there were times where random spirits would simply float about and make friends with the local folk. Though rumors were quickly spreading about how darker spirits were beginning to plague the lands...Xao paid it no mind. He was only ever focused on himself. Picking up his sack he tosses it over his back and he pops his neck from side to side, giving it a light rub.

Xao: I feel like it'd be disrespectful to say I miss that stale quiet paradise in the sky...still. I came here to make something new for myself. Airbenders are too secluded...that's why people forgot about them until everyone suddenly became an Airbender. Tch. Never was a fan of Avatar Korra...

Xao whistles a casual tune and begins to make his way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and he's homebound.
