Character Information:
Character Name: Sokka
Age: 15
Canon: Avatar : The Last Airbender
Appearance:
Sokka eyes are blue and his skin has a dark tanned tone to it. His hair is usually tied up into a warriors wolf tail. Shaven up at the sides and back though it's been left to grow in slightly so when his hair is down, it's as if he has an undercut.
Personality:
In some aspects, Sokka is a typical teenager, complaining about things, being hungry and having lots of energy. He has a very obvious sense of humour and will often crack the worst jokes imaginable. Unfortunately when Sokka's humour rears it's head, no one apart from him finds it very funny, though he does have a good habit of actually cheering people up and making bad situations seem less daunting.
He adores food, loves it and won't pass up an opportunity to eat it. Unless it's nothing but nuts. Sokka is a hunter, he has no qualms about killing animals if it means that he and his friends or family survives another day.
He can be rude at times as well as sexist, though over time he has shown that he can change and own up to his own mistakes, going as far as to apologise to the Kiyoshi Warriors and ask them to show him techniques.
Sokka is a loud person, though he does know when it's better to not really say anything at all, though this isn't always the case. If Sokka has an opinion on something, he isn't the kind of person to just keep quiet, he will usually vocalise it. Especially when it comes to his jealousy of bending. Feeling left out due to Katara and Aang having something they can bond over while he doesn't really have any input to such conversations.
Despite the fact Sokka can come across as nothing but a goof ball, he can be serious and come up with great strategies or ideas to get around their enemies. He can also be incredibly stubborn such as at the beginning of the series, he tells Katara that Aang should leave and sticks to his guns with the decision, but he does have a soft spot and will eventually give in, even to the surprise of others.
Sokka is an incredibly proud warrior and member of the Southern Water Tribe. He will do his best to keep everyone safe and even goes as far as to try and train the younger boys (read : children) of the tribe, often not letting them go for potty breaks. Despite his warrior pride though, when it comes to actual combat Sokka doesn't really think things through at the start of the series and believes that he's stronger than he actually is. An example of this would be when Zuko first arrives at the Water tribe, he tries to defend them but gets put down.
Sokka is a very driven character, he makes his goals, whether short or long term known. However, even though the Fire Nation killed his mother and have been raging war, he doesn't want revenge, he just wants to fight and defend.
When it comes to his sister Katara, Sokka is protective, though not exactly to the point of having a sister complex. He's not exactly happy when Jet talks to Katara and he sees her falling for him since he's already judging him. Sokka comes across as almost bitchy and passive-aggressive.

Background:
http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Sokka
Canon point: End of Book 1
Special Abilities:
He's pretty good at science and inventing things, even though the world he's from isn't massive on such things. He can use weapons, such as his boomerang and club but he can also use swords. He's a strategist, coming up with plans and strategies that work well and in favour to the bending members of his team, so even without them there, he would still be able to come up the actual plans.
Sect:
Jedi :D
Job:
Not right away?

SEGVL//..HEOETR ###'#
[Video feed jumps on and suddenly the scene of a blue blinking eye pulls back to show a face.]
I don't remember picking this up. Whatever. [Pretty obvious the datapad has just been tossed on the bed. Isn't the ceiling nice? Hope so, because that's the only scene you get as Sokka stomps about the room and then catches sight of the window. The window...with a view...of the most awesome looking place ever!!]
Cooooool! [No his face isn't pressed against the window, what're you talking about?] But uh...this isn't the Northern Water Tribe...Unless it went under some major refurbishment.
Third Person:
The sudden pain in his chest doubled and he felt as though his chest was about to burst open in the most violent of explosions. He felt like the dams he's built were going to crack and break completely and that he wouldn't be able to stop even when he ran dry. It didn't matter that he hadn't known her that long, it didn't matter that they hadn't actually been anything.
Her hands were outstretched and then...then she was lying in his arms and he couldn't feel any sign of life. He tried so hard not to just crumble right there in front of the others, they didn't need to see that. She had been there and then she had faded. She was gone...but always with him, right? That's what she'd said.
Sokka snapped out of his thoughts, they were going to places he'd rather not have them go to. Not right now, not so soon. Besides, he could always just look up at night and see her, right? How many people could say their girlfriend was the moon? Yeah, he liked to think of her as his girlfriend, they kissed so that counted, right?
He smiled a little and drew his knees closer to his chest as all three of them, with added Momo, huddled around the fire and waited for dinner to cook. Sokka stared at it and then huffed, prodding the fish with a stick.
“Why is it that when you're hungry food always take forever to cook?”
Now would be a good time to be a fire bender. Just for these situations.
Anything Else:
Jolee Bindo and blue milk :D
