Original Deerington Application

• Link to Accepted Deerington Application: Here.
• Additional Adjustments to include: Mako's notes are the best explanation of his Deer arc but basically:
September-October: turned up in Deerington with Korra, became a monster, met his new best friends Chloe and Kristoff

November: Korra disappeared, Mako was killed by Eddie in the ocean via electrocution, a bad time was had by all. This really messed him up for a while and made the reality of his situation sink in, but he also got lectured by a lot of people on trying to keep his problems to himself. He thought about that for a while afterward.

December: Wu showed up, a deathflu'd Mako got lost in a blizzard and befriended Chuck and Raleigh

January: Mako went to the hotel along with everyone else, danced at a party, had some fun beach times

February: A lot of people's hearts were stolen, including Wu's, and then Mako and Wu kissed and became OFFICIAL. Also, Korra showed back up.

March: Wuko was officially a thing, Mako threw a party for Wu's birthday and then Wu died horribly; Mako banished his ghost with the help of Chuck and Raleigh and then repressed all his feelings about that. Mako started the Deerington-wide cache system as things spiralled out of control, because supplies were dwindling and he didn't want people starving.

April: Deerington turned into a desert, Mako's repressed feelings erupted into a fever after Wu shot him in the leg (by accident?) and his friend Lysithea died in front of him

May: The mist! Mako buried a lot of dead bodies and helped some Wastes in their final moments, generally became uncomfortably close to the idea of death, and made a choice to stay in Deerington with Wu, no matter what.

June: Mako and Wu immediately abandoned that choice once they learned going home was an option, tried to go home, and failed. They came back to Deerington with new resolve and stepped into the ocean together and into a new life.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers:
🔴 Firebending Mako is an accomplished firebender, which means that he can create and control fire using his own body. Firebending is, essentially, magical martial arts: Mako uses a combination of boxing & Northern Shaolin kung fu to create and direct his flames. Firebenders can use their chi, their innr energy, to create flames (the only benders able to actually create the element they control) and to move or extinguish them. Firebending in general involves a lot of sharp, explosive movements, which Mako is quite good at, having competed professionally as a pro-bender. Firebending requires a lot of control, and the uses for it are really up to the creativity of the bender. They can do anything from kicking long spirals of fire out of their feet to warming up cold tea. In addition to being able to create and control fire itself, firebenders also have some amount of control over heat: they can warm up the air around them or their own bodies. They naturally run hot, in fact, and have a bit of a natural resistance against poison. Firebenders are made stronger by the sun and by bodies like comets entering the atmosphere (see: Sozin's comet making all firebenders very powerful for the duration of its pass over the planet). They are made much weaker by the cold, and their bending can be weakened to the point of disappearing by prolonged cold, damp conditions. Their connection to the sun means that their bending is stronger during the day, when the sun is up, and weaker at night.

Mako has quite a bit of raw power and is able to control and maintain streams of fire for a long time, long enough in some cases to be able to propel himself from the ground using the force and heat. His control is fine enough that he can make a tiny, focused dagger out of flames and strong enough that he can dispel the energy and fire from an explosion.

🔴 Lightningbending Lightning Bolt Zolt, the boss of one arm of the Triple Threat Triads, taught Mako how to generate and conduct electricity, which is a skill unique to a subset of firebenders. He can act as a conduit for existing electricity, channeling it through his body (specifically, through his hands) like a lightning rod. With enough focus and power, he can generate bolts of electricity for short periods of time himself. This is the technique he used to escape from Amon, and to kill Ming-Hua. He can do this under an immense amount of pressure and pain, having acted as a conduit to blow up the spirit vines in Kuvira’s mech until he was physically knocked out. He can aim these bolts and hit moving targets, and control the amount of electricity used to some extent.

• Blood Type: Coldblood
• Omen: a small, cat-sized dragon named Zuko
• Blessed Day: February 14th
• Patron Pthumerian: Doorway
• Blood Power Manifestation: Since the coldblood powerset intersects so perfectly with Mako's canon powers, they're going to essentially meld. His coldblood will grant him control over the full spectrum of temperature, and he'll now be able to generate ice as well as fire and electricity. Being coldblooded will expand his temperature range, connect him slightly more to the sun, and reduce the negative effect the cold has on his bending, so he'll be less useless in extreme cold. He'll have more acute control over electricity with the same amount of power, as well as finer control over smaller amounts of electricity (think sparks compared to lightning bolts). Compared to a normal coldblood, it will take him longer to wear out, since he has these powers anyway, but ice particularly will be hard for him to use, especially at first, and will present some difficulty unti he can master it.

Ice generation: Mako will be able to generate and manipulate ice, much like a waterbender. He'll be able to turn existing water into ice and then turn it back again, and also cause it to superheat and explode into steam. This will be done using his body, since his bending is the base of all of this, and is essentially an expansion of that.

Temperature control: Mako could already heat the air around him and liquids in his hands, and he'll now be able to do the opposite: pull heat out of the air and liquids, lowering the ambient temperature within about a five-foot radius.

Sun connection: Firebenders were already connected with the sun, and now Mako will be able to get some of his energy back through exposure to the sun for a prolonged period of time. Like a plant!
