Arek is a character in Avatar: Age of Kyoshi. He is a young airbender.
The character is played by Discord user eddy#3156.
Appearance[]
Arek is a young Air Nomad-in-training and dresses in sleeveless, grey clothing with an orange and red sash crossed diagonally along his chest. His freckled skin is slightly darker than the monks, revealing his mixed heritage. He has hazel eyes beneath sleepy eyelids, low cheekbones, and a squarish jawline.
History[]
Arek was born in the remote village of Makapu to a young woman named Rose who had recently had a brief dalliance with a traveling Air Nomad. For the first years of his life, his mother made no attempt to contact the father, Palchen, and raised him on her own, exposing him to the deep spirituality of her people and teaching him to make use of the resource-rich lands. It was not until he was a child that he showed premature signs of air bending. Shortly after, through the unknown persuasion of Air Nomads who heard rumors of the boy, Rose handed her son over to be raised at the Southern Air Temple and left her village.
His upbringing thereafter was traditional, but Arek found catching up to his new peers to be a daunting task and got homesick often. Despite being an adequate bender and highly spiritual when he can find it within himself to focus, his insecurities often stood in the way of his progress and manifested itself in his inability to bond to a sky bison. At fifteen, he finally met his father, who not putting the same emphasis on blood ties as the villagers of the Earth Kingdom did and valuing freedom above all else, never sought out to meet or form a relationship with his son. After telling Palchen his struggles, the man suggested that Arek simply leave the Temple and discover the world or perhaps reunite with his mother, even offering him a ride on his bison.
Personality[]
Arek can be abrasive and willful, but he has dedicated himself to the teachings of the Air Nomads and tries to hold to that every day. He sees peace as a means and an end and finds value in moments of calm. As a result, he takes pacifism very seriously.
