So what I'm doing here is writing little dabbles about LoK characters. These each will (normally) one character and one attribute to go with them. I will try to update as often as I can until I run out of people or lose my inspiration.
In this particular chapter I wanted to do Mako and Bolin together because their ALWAYS together. However, they will have separate attributes.
If you want, you can leave comments saying what you want as an attribute for each character. I may not use them but I then again might. Also I have zero inspiration so I kinda need them. Thank you! Please do R&R!
Disclaimer: I do not own LoK or any of its characters, if I did, Lin and Tenzin would've been marriEd with little air bending babies and Sokka would forever be leading the Council and there would be no president. Ever.
Chapter 1 Mako: Stealth
People considered Mako "sticky fingered" when he was a child, because he stole so many items. If people actually knew just how many things he stole, he would probably be on Republic City's most wanted list. He could swipe a fruit to his pocket in seconds, take a mans wallet a good hour before the man noticed, oh yes, he was surely to become a master thief.
Mako was stealthy, in every meaning of the word, he could walk so lightly upon the ground, only a very skilled earth bender could pick up his movements. Mako had never been caught, per say, stealing. Yes, he had been pointed out to the police, but never caught. He moved like a spider, gliding from one end of Republic City to the other, quite seamlessly too. He was a skilled thief but the cute adorable looks weren't really doing it for him anymore. He was theorem now and needed to get a job. Fast.
Mako had escaped some situations others would deem impossible. He had once been right behind some police, but he made it, spirits only know how, but he pulled it off, in some sort of probably highly illegal mannerism. Mako was a street legend, an a strangers RobinHood of sorts. But it wasn't money he stole but food. He had never been one for popularity, but often made the ladies swoon. Oh well, easy pickings for him, purses were easier to take when the owner was drooling on you.
However, Mako was not the simplest of people, he stole for a reason: survival. And not for just his own but also for his brother's. Later on in life, Mako could boast that he could sneak past the great almighty Avatar when she was trying to detect him with her Earth bending. Needless to say, he won at this little bet, but it still sounded like a far fetched feat. Mako could be funny, he liked to sneak up on Bo or other officers at the precinct. It was a game, if Mako could sneak up on you, you needed to sharpen your seismic sense. A lot of the officers needed to sharpen their seismic sense. As a dare by Saikhan as a joke, e told Mako to sneak up on Chief Bei Fong. She caught him. Really fast. It didn't really go all that well afterwards and Mako doesn't really like talking about it.
Mako had never cared very much for other peoples judgement of him. He had always had the "devil may care" attitude towards other people, but in truth, it was to protect himself and Bo. He had to do what he had to , he was a thief, a sneak whatever you wanted to call him, be he did it for a reason and a damn good one at that.
Bolin: Honesty
Bolin was many things, he was a joker, a once probender, a brother, and an all around good guy. However, one thing he is not and never will be is a liar. Bolin was taught from a young age: it is wrong to lie. He never would, he would divert people attention or fib, but never lie. It just wasn't something he did he just wasn't wired that way. Bolin was much like the Earth he bent, very honest and unchanging and quite stubborn once he had an idea.
Bolin couldn't steal, he wouldn't he was too kind, too loving. Bolin had such a big heart, he wanted to make people were happy, he almost never held a grudge and always forgave. He was so kind, so honest. He could take away someone's happiness by stealing! It was wrong! Bolin was practical ya saint since birth, he never cried, never yelled and always practiced bending outside, unlike Mako. Bolin was one of a kind. People were naturally drawn to his kind mannerisms for good and for bad reasons, in which Bolin was always grateful for Mako bailing him out.
When Chief Bei Fong offered him a spot on the force, he had to refuse. He might have to arrest some young thieves, he couldn't do that! He would be lying to himself if he thought he could be a police officer, only children would be afraid of him and not even for the real him! They would only be scared of NutTuk, the hero of the South, not Bolin the actor. Most importantly, he would be lying to the law once he let the kids get away. And he was no liar, is father had taught both him and Mako not to lie, he supposed Mako wasn't listening hard enough.
Bolin never found comfort in a lie, they made him uneasy, Bo liked to trust people, he wanted to trust people. It was who he was. So if he didn't like lies, surely no one else did. Bolin could always tell when people were lying, sure he wasn't as good as Bei Fong, and he couldn't use seismic sense, he just knew. He could tell from the lines on their faces, from the way their expressions changed. And it hurt him, to know that people were lying to his face. And he would hate making others feel that way, especially if he got caught.
Bolin couldn't lie, he broke out into a sweat and freaked out later. Bolin was one of the few honest people left in the world, but he didn't mind, not a bit so long as he was honest with the people he loved and the people around him were honest as well, and that was good enough.
