RepublicCity App: Nam (Revamped)

Published:

Description

A much overdue update to my character Nam who resides in :iconrepubliccity:, I have slightly altered the design to be a little bit more simple and minor touches to the character info. And I aged him by one year.

If you'd like to see the previous incarnation for the sake of comparison, here you go: RC App: Nam
----------------------------
Name: 

Nam (naahm)

Age:
13

Nationality: 
Born in the Earth Kingdom, moved to the Republic City with his old man at the tender age of six.

Affinity: 
Fire

Skills:
Parkour:
With the combination of agility and quick thinking, Nam effortlessly navigates the city quickly by vaulting rails, climbing walls to higher landings, jumping from building to building, takes any possible shortcuts he can find and being shouted at by fellow civilians for trespassing private property. He uses his earthbending to make temporary stepping stones on bendable areas.

Pickpocketing:
Stealing wallets, jewellery and various valuables, he sells the goods at multiple pawnshops scattered over the city and keeps the money for himself. Occasionally he collaborates with one or two fellow pickpockets on busy market days.

Making Tea:
Give Nam a teapot and hot water and he'll somehow make tea (he'll run out and steal or buy some ingredients from the markets). He learnt this skill by force as his strict grandfather taught him for the courtesy of being a host to visitors and so that the old man himself could just relax and order Nam to serve him tea.

Personality: 
✔ Independent | Upbeat | Persistent | Street Smart | Quick Witted | Adaptable
✘Annoying | Impatient | Sarcastic | Daredevil | Mischievous

To sum it all up, Nam's a nice kid who likes being a brat.

RP sample:

Script form
Nam: *walks casually and bumps into a tall, richly dressed man* Oops, sorry sir!

Novel form
As Nam stepped sideways and gave a mocking bow for the tall man to walk on by who responded with a complaint about "kids these days", Nam quickly swiped the wallet sticking out of the grouchy man's pocket and went well on his way. Recently obtained money in hand, he navigated his way through the crowded markets to a local bakery and bought 3 loaves of bread. His errand complete, he weaved his way back through the bustling crowd towards the quickest route back home. Vaulting fences, climbing walls, leaping from roof to roof, has always cleared his mind and gave him the feeling of exhilaration. 

Finally, he reached the dingy, two storey building and climbed gingerly through the wide, open window to avoid stepping on his grandfather's herbs. Then Nam ran to the stairs and slid down the railing to the lower floor where his grandpa was manning the counter of the anitique shop. "Hey, old man, I've got the bread, just like you wanted," Nam dumped the bag of bread onto the counter with a scowl. Ignoring the boy's expression, the old man smiled and poured more tea, "This will taste good with jasmine tea."
Grumbling, Nam turned up the volume of the radio sitting on the counter to listen to an ongoing pro bender match which was interrupted with news of the Avatar. "Cool, the Avatar is in the city? I wonder what she'll do..." Thoughts swimming in his head of dragons, tornadoes and utter chaos in the city, the bell on the door rang as it opened, pulling Nam's head out of the clouds.

"Oh, a customer. Welcome to the shop of ancient antiques." Nam greeted with a grin on his face, "So hey, how've you been?"

I'm cool with either forms so feel free to send a note! :D

Additional Info: 
- Lives with his grandfather above an antique shop (which the old man owns).
- Refers to his grandfather as "old man".
- Calls everyone by nicknames such as; blondie, lady, you, shopkeeper, tall guy, pish-posh, snob
- Calls people by their actual name when he highly respects them (his grandfather an exception as they are close relatives).
- Keeps a handcuff (that he pinched from an amateur police officer) at home, where he continues to try to figure out metalbending.
- Walks around barefoot because he likes to stay in touch with the ground.
- Huge fan of pro bending, listens to the radio, watches the matches, he wants to join the sport someday.
