Abilities: Rain Ryder is slightly more than your average water bender, Since he began training in the bending art's Rain has shown more than proficient progress in using almost all arts of water bending. Able to easily pick up on water bending forms and kata he is known as a genius within the water bending community of the Southern water tribe only. His movements are significantly quick yet perfect when utilizing the required movements and graceful flowing motions that follow water bending. His proficiency has earned him the title of an Expert water bender though he strives to become a master.
Within water bending he is capable of bending almost all and any liquids minus of course that of blood bending. This means he has expert knowledge of all forms and abilities of water. Capable of easily manipulating the pressure of water with ease or completely forcing the water to freeze over or take the water in another direction and utilize a water bending ability most commonly known as Steam bending. Rains best form of joke bending is sweat bending having become skilled enough that he is capable of pulling sweat not only from himself but others to create a source of water. Naturally you must be sweating for this to be used.
Being an expert Rain is capable of water bending without a proper source of water...how you say. Well water vapor in the air can be called to his aid. Though this isnt a full proof way of water bending due to the small amount of moisture in the air. Like stated Rain has knowledge of almost all arts of waterbending being able to pull water from almost any source that has water like the grass itself or the trees that thrive with water. Halting Rain is a mere parlour trick to this advanced expert of the water bending arts. Plant bending is something he does in his spare time and likes to pull it out as a party trick or a binding ability if required in battle. As one with great power over water Rain is capable of making large tsunami's and tidal waves when under the influence of a full moon [ the waves would be big enough to easily take out one of the fire nation generals ships from the series]. Many tricks of his trade. During his recent years Rain has studied the art of Chi blocking and its nimble movements granting him a somewhat unique style combining gymnastics and water bending. Yes as stated his art of water bending mastery is very advanced thus his healing abilities follow this principle.

History:
Within the water bending tribe of the southern nation those born with hair as white as snow upon the day that the full moon is closest to the earth are said to have powers so great that even the avatar's strength of the water element would not compare. upon that day that rarely any children are born upon was a single child. Hair as white as snow and eyes as red as fire. Rain Ryder was born. Of course being as strong as the avatar in the given element is just a story and would have to be tested at some point but the southern water tribe believed it. Legends and myths are hard not to believe if your ancestors believed it themselves.
It was what could be considered an unusually warm summer in the southern water tribe when Rain Ryder entered this world, The moon so large giving him strength. Why was this considered a huge deal? A child born with white hair and when the moon is closest to earth?. Well let me explain have you ever heard about the moon spirit or the first water bender?. Well the very first water bender known to man was the moon, Pushing and pulling the tides. The ancient ancestors of the current water benders were taught by the moon. It was said that those touched by the moon spirit would have hair as white as snow. The full moon also grants water benders exceptional power so when the full moon is so close and a child has hair white as snow they have been touched by the moon spirit and received the power of the first water bender, or so the legend goes.
Naturally the news of a child gifted by the presence of the moon spirit flew through the town and after being upon this planet for 4 year's and 35 days Rain Ryder had his first assassination attempt. This assassin was formerly within a band of pirates. A bender of fire whom thought himself lucky to find the child of the moon spirit. What he did not foresee was the child's extraordinary potential when it came to the skill of water bending. The assassin had stupidly attacked with his flames. Fire being weak against the water especially in a land covered in snow. A single hand movement would force the snow to quell the flames while a basic water bending kata would allow the bender to flow the water into the man covering him in ice.
This tradition of attack happened every other day in the mind of the child, Eventually those he loved were caught in the cross fire and he lost his father. A powerful fire bender whom died shielding his son. This is why he dons his fathers fire bending uniform. At the age of 8 Rain was placed into a protective custody programme and was forced to live out in the circus were he would subsequently learn gymnastics. During this time he was forced to wear a wig to shield his hair colour and make up to lighten up his skin. His other predicament was the circus refused to allow him to water bend thus his bending abilities were honed in the dead of the night while training his gymnastics skill. At about 16 Rain had become quite impressive within the circus world and had performed many shows. Sadly with fame comes recognition and one night he was jumped. Sticking to not using bending he was defenceless. It seemed like a random mugging. Ariko a chi blocker found the beaten Rain who had refused to use water bending due to the rules of the circus. Taking Rain under his wing Ariko would begin to teach Rain Chi Blocking.
3 years down the line Rain decided he was done hiding and removed his wig showing the world that the water bending warrior touched by the moon spirit was still alive. Having been practising his own form of combat combining water bending and gymnastics was born and of course slightly shown off. Rain who knew constant attacks would keep happening refused to go home until he had made a name for himself a name that though his kindness refused to allow him to kill would still strike fear in those he defeats. Upon choosing to leave he was gifted with a southern water tribe pet. A polar bear dog whom he would call Arisa.
Thus Rain has travelled to many places all around the world when with the circus making many friends under the disguise of Haru [his stage name] now he would go to meet those friends and ask for there help in defeating those who would wish to destroy him.
**OPTIONAL**Sample RP:
- Spoiler:
Graceful movements would accompany his walk along the thin tight rope. His body honed from the flowing motions of waterbending. This gymnast was Rain Ryder or better known in the circus world as Haru. The southern water bender warrior born as the spirit of the moon had been forced into protective custody or something similar and was now living out his days in a circus. doing this was to protect his family and moving around all the time meant his location would be hard to find. So today was his 500 show a special occasion hence why when walking this tight rope the young male was also carrying a blazing stick that if he did not make it over the rope quick enough would burn his hands. Or would it?
Halfway along the stick the boy seemingly lost his footing and the stick of fire fell from his grasp into the small paddling pool of water. his body fell from the great height and the gasps of horror from the crowd erupted in the tent. His hands would slide up grabbing the bar halfway between the rope and the ground and his body would spin rapidly before ejecting from the bar and landing once more upon the tight rope. Applause filled the tent and Rain would continue his descent and finish for the night. His circus performance over it was time for his personal private time. this male would walk black wig upon his head to the small cavern he had found years ago in ba sing say. This cavern private and silent apart from the rush of the water would allow him to train his abilities in private.
The sound of man wading through water would be pushed out by the sound of the waterfall, his elegant movements flowing the water soon copying him as if it were being taught its movements from the man himself. Yes Rain was a waterbender and pretty awesome one at that. his movements would become more complicated as the waterfall itself would defy gravity and reverse its own movement the water instead of crashing down being pushed high into the sky, His body would spin while his hands dragged the water around himself dancing elegantly with the shimmering water. The half moon allowing its glow to reflect from its masterful element. With a sudden thrust of his arms the water he controlled would explode into a blaze of rain which would become suspended in air. His hands clenched as the liquid hardened into its frozen ice form which like the water itself would begin its dance as if a masterful blizzard powerful yet charming flowing around the lightly tanned male.
With his motions the ice shards would skim the remaining water dripping with the glistening form as his body become a blur of movement performing several flips as the ice circled his body, Picture a hedgehog with constant swirls of ice spikes. these spikes would erupt upwards avoiding his body before his hands ripped apart and forced the entire cave to become blurred by powerful steam or msit as it is more commonly associated with. Yes i told you this boy was a genius when it came to bending all of waters forms
