Personality:
Naxx-Ja is a cruel street thug with a little too much free time. He's a professional cutthroat, pickpocket, thief, bandit, and mugger who labels himself as a Bounty Hunter. Down-to-business and very sadistic, Ja is well known for brutally antagonizing his victims, targets, and random passersby. When confronted with a direct situation, such as imminent arrest, he lashes out violently and murderously, leaving nothing but bodies impaled on sharp rocks. Ja is not known for being a very good people person, authorities have labeled him as a sociopath, but this does nothing to stop him from being hired by the underworld of Ba Sing Se. He has a strong distaste for bland foods and cheeses, and prefers to refer to himself as a "Patron of the Fine Food Arts". He's a surprisingly good chef, and loves spiced meats. Ja has a quirky view on other people. Until the day he finds another person who is exactly like him, he claims that he will despise everyone. While Naxx may appear to be calm and calculated, he is very brash and quick to act on impulse. Every once and a while, during combat, Naxx may enter a mindless bloodlust, slashing at everything living within reach. People who've Ja him briefly described him as a cold, dark man with something to hide. Those few who know him well say that Ja is the last person they want to be betrayed by.


Abilities:
A skilled bladsman, and an even better eathbender, Naxx is known to be an expert at causing open wounds, either by using a blade, or turning said blade into any shape he desires. Ja is a decent freerunner, but relies on his bending more over this, because it is simply easier, and more effective. Even if you do manage to disarm him, you've hardly done anything. He'll immediately make a pike out of a nearby street lamp, or a sledgehammer out of the ground you're standing on. Needless to say, Ja's fighting style is based around turning the area around him into melee weapons, not projectiles. He does, however, suffer in combat when at range. This is why he uses the close-quarters of the Ba Sing Se back alleyways to attack his targets. Naxx caries three daggers and one Kunai at all times. His fighting style relies on slashing the muscles on the upper arm and leg before stabbing the target to death in a rather ceremonial fashion. He's very good at staying concealed, hiding in rafters or on rooftops and ledges. Ja is, in addition, even better at quickly and silently incapacitating targets with his bare hands, a curtain, a block of wood, or any other objective within reach. Lastly, Naxx is one of the best pickpockets in Ba Sing Se. He's accredited for being able to steal the necklaces off of airbenders, something common thugs can merely dream of. Ja keeps a collection of these "trophies" in his room.

Appearance:
Height: 6'1
Weight: 186 pounds
Eyes: Brown, hints of hazel.
Hair: Bald, but is almost always wearing a hood.
Skin: Pale for someone of the Earth kingdom, in the lighter shades.

Naxx is a decently tall man, with a muscular figure. His typical attire is his green, blood-stained cloak, the hood hiding his eyes for the majority of the time. He decorates his armor with stolen trinkets and gemstones, allowing him to wander amongst the upper class without arousing too much suspicion. Ja conceals his weaponry beneath the first layer of his cloak, which completely covers his body like a robe. When the first layer is pulled back, his armor and weapons are revealed. The armor, is made of small, thin metal plates over vital organs and certain muscles, the rest, covered in basic cloth and hardened leather strips. The outfit makes him intimidating, yet inconspicuous. As a person, he looks fairly normal, aside from is crooked nose, and murderous glare. Ja carries a multitude of scars from his years of combat, but prefers to keep them concealed. The reason behind this is his desire to appear as an untouchable assasin with nothing and nobody to fear. Naxx has a multitude of disguises he can use without even changing clothes. By carrying a cane and slouching, he can appear as a poor old man. By simply taking off his cloak and starting to cook food in a crowded street, he appears a simple merchant. By wearing extra jewelry, he appears as the wealthy of the city.

Weaponry & Other Gear:

Flame-Killer Kunai Knife
Materials: Obsidian blade, metal hilt, minor silver embroidery
Description: A small ceremonial knife that Naxx-Ja obtained after he had slain a high ranking member of the fire nation military. Despite the blade being made for dining purposes, January found it to be the sharpest, most durable weapon in his arsenal. It is mainly used as his favored combat weapon.

Steel daggers
Materials: Steel, wooden hilt
Description: Basic combat daggers, of which Naxx carries three of at all times. Using his metalbending, Naxx shifts these daggers into whatever shape he wants. This is an edge in combat, especially against non-benders who use weapons.

Ja's Cloak
Materials: Leather, steel plates, green cloth, expensive trinkets
Description: As described in appearance. The outfit as a whole appears as a dark, nightly green, silver lining, and yellow finish. Blue jemstones do occasionally reflect light off the outfit, the only downside.

History:
Brought up in a wealthy Omashu family, Naxx was always scrutinized for being the youngest, most spoiled son. Because he was the only Bender born into the family, Ja's parents groomed him like a prodigy, showing downright disfavor to his elder siblings. He had two brothers and one sister, who quickly grew to resent Ja and everything he did. Where Naxx was given feasts, his brothers and sister received the leftovers. Where Ja was given toys and large sums of allowance, his elder siblings were given worthless trinkets and pocket change. Eventually, at the age of 15, a fight broke out between Naxx and his one sister. The fight ended with his sister dead in the middle of the dining table, in the middle of supper on a sunday night. Ja immediately bolted straight out of the door, with the kitchen knife he had just used to slay his sibling, still in his hands. He took a caravan to Ba Sing Se literally minutes after the murder, and began his way out of Omashu. Labled a maniac and kin slayer, Ja would have been arrested, or worse, executed if he didn't get away as fast as he could. When he reached Ba Sing Se, the first thing he did was mug an old man and buy himself a lunch. His life of sadism and treachery had begun.

Naxx eventually caught the attention of both local gangs and police forces alike, and both began to seek him out. Ja began doing extortion jobs for a local group of street thugs, and earning the trust of that district's small-time criminals. Naxx-Ja eventually rose to the titles of assassin, hitman, and bounty hunter. He lived in the streets for a fair amount of time, until he grew tired of being a simple homeless stain. Ja found and hunted down a monk living in the city, murdered him, and invaded the Monastery he lived in. The small monastery is now a boarded up old building that Ja uses as his safehouse. After a series of cleverly placed bribes, the incident was never investigated, and the building marked as private property. Ja made his home here, stealing various household items in a break-in spree. After his home was fuly furnished, and in possession of a considerable sum of money, Ja approached a large criminal organization for membership. Impressed by his skill, they quickly scooped him up as their enforcer. Once again rising to the position of a full fledged hitman, Ja felt truly happy. The three most notable jobs of his career are of fair importance and pride to Naxx. Killing a member of the Dai Li in broad daylight, kidnapping a noble from Omashu on his own as a ransom, and stealing a Water Nation child to raise as his own. The child is currently a toddler of three years old, living with Ja in his safehouse. The child is the one thing Ja truly values, but not out of sentiment. He wishes to create a legacy of murderers under his name, and will stop at nothing to succeed. All and all, Naxx-Ja is a cold-hearted menace to society. He has no remorse, and values other people by how much use he can make of them. A skilled killer who, in reality, is nothing more than a murderous thug with more ambition than he should.

Sadly, your character's descriptions in pretty much everything don't match up to the amount of words required. His highest skill is intermediate, so you should be using that template. So please edit your character and let us know when you have, preferably by bumping the thread.
