| — Kiir |
Prince Kiir is the Crown-Prince of the Earth Kingdom. Kiir rarely stayed within the palace of Ba Sing Se, and rather trained around the world in order to be a deadly warrior and true leader.
History[]
Prince Kiir was born in Ba Sing Se. Soon afterwards, he was raised outside to learn to be a true man, something his ancestors had not done. Kiir learned to become a master earthbender, and even a chi blocker.
Kiir learned to lead and command in battle from Grand Marshal Rishu of the Fire Nation, a proven combatant and tactician. Rishu lectured Kiir on more than battle but on philosophy as well.
Kiir is determined to carve out a reputation for himself in the world as a great warrior.
Kiir oversaw the rebuilding of the abandoned city Taku, near Republic City, a secret operation to make it a military strike point at the city when ready. Kiir is now a part of the plan to take over Republic City.
After Republic City fell to invasion, Kiir and his forces went to the Southlands to capture Chief Arkoda of the Southern Water Tribe and to prevent his information from destabiizing the war effort. Arkoda, in a twist, helped the Avatar's raiding party fight off Kiir when he ambushed them instead.
After failing to capture Arkoda, Kiir took command of the Ba Sing Se Regulars and attacked the city in earnest, breaking through the walls and setting a foothold.
Kiir was joined by Rishu to command the siege as important events unfolded. Kiir planned to use an ancient tunnel in Omashu as a way to sneak into the palace and take it. As he and his men went through the tunnel, they found a large party of excavators present, for a different plan of their own.
Kiir attacked the unknowing defenders and cornered them until Avatar Tala arrived with reinforcements. Even then, Kiir still had the advantage. Tala entered the Avatar State and collapsed the massive tunnel for good, forcing Kiir to abandon his plan.
When the Day of Black Sun came, Kiir led his armies out to attack in New Omashu.
Over a week after the Day of Black Sun, White Lotus and Southern Tribe reinforcements broke through the siege and entered the city. To test their strength, the Regulars and the Fire Army attacked.
Kiir led an attack against the White Lotus forces and was captured and brought into the city. In order to secure him, they put him in a wooden cell a hundred feet from any earth.
Abilities[]
Kiir is a master earthbender of the highest caliber. He has learned all the sub-skills from seismic sense, to metalbending, to sandbending. He also created glassbending, from the concept that glass is fused sand.
As a result of his large stature, Kiir is adept at physical combat, especially that involving body contact.
Kiir learned Chi Blocking but has never revealed it to anyone, even Rishu or his father; so that he always had an edge in a fight.
Notes[]
- Kiir was heavily inspired by Embo from Star Wars: the Clone Wars, though he has a very different behavior.
- Kiir's earthbending is similar to Muay Thai rather than Mantis of Chow Gar Martial Arts.
- Kiir is massive for a person, and likely comparable to Avatar Kyoshi in size.
- Kiir's name is similar to the Azeri word 'kir', which means dirt.
