Personality:
Altair is cool and laid back and tries to be nice and help any and everyone he sees. This was often the cause of why he would come home bruised or cut. Altair loves his freedom and often got in trouble because of this as a kid. Always venturing out on his own into the air and always coming back late. Nobody could really keep him out of stuff. He's not a bad kid but always gets in trouble for good reasons. Though being nice he has a short fuse and won't forgive so easily. He holds grudges and doesn't let go very simply.
Altair is social although he likes to be alone at times. He never has one designated group of people he hangs out with. Most of the time he moves around from group to group and is welcomed with open arms. Though he is quiet the first twenty minutes when he meets new people he dives into a conversation and brings life to the party. He is very special in that way to be able to keep things interesting all the time.
Talking to girls was a natural ability to him it seemed. He always knew how to woo a girl but sometimes comes a cross a challenge. Even with this he doesn't consider himself the greatest nor does he boast on this. Always having a cocky edge to his approach but not being completely conceited. Always coming off as the sweet guy with a bad boy style. He's ultimately a flirt.
Appearance:
Altair stands at 5'10" and weighs 120lbs. He has a lean but muscular tone to his body mostly from swimming. His determination to be just as fast as the water tribe kids toned his arms, legs and abs. He's lanky in a sense which helped make it obvious he wasn't water tribe. But it fits him well when he can be seen jumping and running like only an Airbender can. His skin is a light tan much like the rest of the Southern water tribe. His eyes are a light Brown color. His eyes have a calm but energetic look to them and hold the small piece of his Air nomad heritage with him. You can see the energy in him his playfulness but at the same time can see how cool-headed he can be at times. His hair is black and short but long enough to cover his right eye sometimes. His eyes though light brown have a sort of golden tinge to them. He always wears darker colors mainly black, red, blue, or purple. He has a pair of black gloves that he wears around though its mostly for him to just look tough. He wears his red headband a lot because he cherishes it. He received it as a gift from a firebender girl on his travels for redemption. It helps remind him of how far he's come and which direction he's heading.
History:
Altair was an Air Nomad by heritage and birth right. He wasn't even born on the high mountains with the rest of the nomads. He didn't have the open skies to express his gifts to. He had the ground his parents loved to travel which wasn't weird but they liked to get attached to places for too long as well. Just before Altair's birth they grew attached to a southern water tribe and they stayed too long. When it was coming close to Altair's birth they didn't have it in them to go back to any of the air temples. So Altair was born in the southern water tribe.
Over the years Altair was seen differently. He was an Airbender who was among Waterbenders. His optimism and free spirit didn't match the personalities of other benders and a lot of non benders in the southern water tribe. He wasn't an outcast just seen differently his ideas seemed to give hope at times. At other times they seemed to risky and far-fetched. Altair longed to be among other Airbenders but his parents refused to move. They became rooted to the southern water tribe. This small decision changed Altair though.
Altair grew angry at his parents he felt restricted and held down. This anger grew so strong that he ran away at 15 leaving everything behind. The only thing that kept him sane was his bending. He practiced it thoroughly never missing a day without using it in some form. The regular peaceful nature of an Airbender dissolved slowly over time from him. He was nice and could be kind if he wanted to but a whole new personality took place of what was gone. He was irrational at times he was stubborn and sometimes straight forward. After losing his peaceful touch with the world and being around a different benders on special occasions, he developed some of their ways of living. Fire, Earth, and Water benders a like. He wanted to fix his broken spirit but replaced it with the wrong things.
His broken spirit didn't help much and he began to lose touch with his air bending. In shock Altair began to panic but he knew there was only one way to fix his spirit. He left for the East air temple and meditated there to fix his broken spirit. Mending himself he became in tune with his bending but his personality was never the same. Now at 17 after satisfying his need with being among benders he chooses to master his bending as he explores the world exploring new wonders.
