Avatar OC:
"MinLan the Last Airbender"

Haahaa, okay before you get all up in arms, there's a story to the name.

Kenta is a boy from the Western Earth Kingdom, who performed in a traveling troupe as "MinLan the Last Airbender." Kenta is a skilled acrobat, and has developed a sort of mimicry of the extinct Airbenders, although he has no actual bending skill of his own. Kenta regularly shaved his head and wore an ornate arrow, often stying in character as MinLan even while not performing.

Kenta enjoyed the fame, until the Avatar returned to the world and the Fire Nation renewed its hunt for Aang. Kenta found himself in a case of mistaken identity, and was often pursued by soliders hoping to gain the Fire Lord's attention. Recently Kenta has stopped painting his arrow and shaving his head, but he's still recognized by the occasional passer-by as "The Last Airbender"

Kenta is part of a Four man troupe, including Rie and Xing, Hyun-Ki and Auntie.


My good friend Erk came up with the idea for the character and I've drawn his design.

His costume is inspired by some of the dancer costumes in the Yosakoi Festival I recently saw in Japan.

What is this? An OC that isn't a godly abomination to the source material? I approve with vast gusto!

Just like some others, I read the title and saw the picture and was about to think, "Roll my eyes, the person's just copying the story verbatim, but with OCs."

Then I read the backstory. Really, really clever story and character design. I love how the arrow isn't the same as the real Airbender tattoo for a number of reasons. Seems both more theatrical, and more realistic than getting a tattoo of a dead people exactly right. Great job by you and your friend.
