Pakku

Pakku is an older man and a notably skilled Waterbender on the moon Sozen IV, in the core system of the Phoenix Empire. He was introduced helping three younger men of his people to combat a number of the particularly and abnormally violent breed of tuskarr native to this moon. Though unexplained, the two groups hold distinct animosity for each other.

It has been noted that, while the arctic moon is technically capable of supporting life, even nobles of the Phoenix Empire like Mai had no idea that intelligent life called the satellite home. However, it would appear that Pakku's tribe are the ones who sent the mysterious, improvised distress signal, as he and his men are currently guiding Mai, her soldiers, and Cid to a local village.

Biography
Though he appears to be just as wise and experienced as his old age would indicate, Pakku has also shown an abject demeanour of crankiness and malcontent for any Waterbender, let alone one so skilled in the spiritual calmness and focus-based art as he. Despite how the skill of his Waterbending would imply that the trademark serenity of heart integral to the style and the characteristic desire to assist others is even more pronounced than normal as a master, Pakku can at least outwardly be described as nothing short of a bitterly acerbic old man of pronounced "difficulty" to interact with. It seems that events regarding the Phoenix Empire have left him jaded and untrustworthy of their people, if his attitude and statements towards Mai are any sort of indication.

Abilities & Powers

 * Waterbending: Pakku's skills with Waterbending are great, as where it took two others of his tribe to merely knock down and trap one of the Sozen IV tuskarr, he alone was able to quickly incapacitate one given an opening by trapping the creature in a huge block of ice, frozen in a wave he drew from beneath the ice.

Based on how easily he is able to perform to great effect techniques which normally require significant effort for a much less pronounced result - As well as given the factor of his elderly yet fit countenance - The most likely possibility is that Pakku stands as a master Waterbender.

Trivia

 * Pakku is the first Waterbender to be named in the RPG.
 * Due to how Mai has been confirmed as a human and due to Pakku's civilization being in such close proximity to her own people, Pakku has been classified as a "Human" until declared otherwise.
 * Pakku is one of the few "elderly master"-type characters shown in BZPB to be distant and cranky, rather than open and helpful like the archetype usually entails. Then again, it is unknown if he is a master in the same way as the character type usually entails; i.e., being a teacher to others.
