PLAYER: Liah
CHARACTER: Korra
CANON: The Legend of Korra


AU NAME: Korra Kalvak(? still in the works tbh jfc)
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: University student with an undeclared major... while aiming to be a pro rugby(*) player *still undecided...
BLURB:

★ Actually born in Alaska in a remote area, but was sent to the city when she was little because she wanted training and was adamant she'd be a pro player of ... a sport i'm not 100% set on yet
★ Despite being happy in Recolle, she does keep going to the ocean area to feel like she's "home"
★ She partly wants to be a pro for the fame, but partly because she wants to give other people something/someone to believe in and give them encouragement
★ Probably spends half her time in the fitness center
★ Living with a family friend (? maybe) in Veia Village who has a few kids and keeps trying to stop her from doing whatever she wants, but we all know how that goes. She'll probably keep trying to find somewhere else to live tbh.
★ She's starting university on a scholarship but outside of wanting the training she has no idea what to study so keeps taking classes in different subjects. She doesn't have the patience to sit through a full class half the time smh.
★ Has a Samoyed dog that she brought to the city with her when she was younger. It's surprisingly spry for an old dog though??? It also really likes food.
★ She doesn't really have any need for money as the family she's with pays for her food etc so isn't convinced on actually doing part time work even though she has the time.
★ Really cannot drive so rides a bicycle most places or uses public transport. Everytime she tries taking driving lessons things break. Despite that, she really loves the look of cars and finds them pretty awesome. Same goes to motorbikes.
★ Also not great with technology... she's probably broken her phone a few times by throwing it, too.
★ With that in mind has a horrible habit of losing her patience and lashing out instead of handling situations well.
★ Later down the line i might look into the underground fight scene for her too maybe???
★ That's all I have for now...!

LOOKING FOR:

★ university buddies
★ other sporty people to train with
★ people to stop her from constantly being in trouble tbh... thank god
★ if anyone wanted to be the family friend i'd be willing to work with that too

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: this is tentative for this month as i've only just started playing her but ... clenches fists

[true_noir]

Possibly, if she's the sort to get into it, training at the local gym has become a much more regular thing for Chloe in the last six months, and in a local martial arts dojo much more recently.

I suspect, though, they're more likely to meet soon as opposed to before, and might have some mutual interests.

[leans]

Well she's got to keep fit! I mean the other sport I was considering was boxing as well so ... the gym definitely works for these things. They could maybe have spotted for each other there a few times?

[true_noir]

Kind of a 'hey, I've seen you around, really should say hi one of these days' things that people do at public gyms for months before they actually meet?

[leans]

Ah, by "spot" each other I mean like if one is doing weights or sit ups the other is there to keep them steady etc. Though it doesn't really come with much conversation so they shouldn't really know each other well outside their names probably.

[true_noir]

Oh! You mean Spot Spot, so they might actually know each other's names even if they don't talk much! Yes, I could easily work with that.

Kind of hard to do weights without folks there to help you spot, unless you go with friends every time.

As an interesting note: Her weights picked up about March. It wasn't really really significant (she's strong, not superstrong.), but she's definitely a LOT more agile than she was if they met before February.

[leans]

Yep, that's perfect.

Maybe it only started after March if she noticed she got better at it? That could be a way to get her to offer if Chloe would want to push herself a bit more.

[true_noir]

That actually would make sense. She might see her move from a lightweight's aerobic level to something a lot more serious. (This is right about when she got the athletic physical regain from canon Chloe)

[gouache]

ok so

unfortunately yusuke is a literal noodle so i can't offer u much in the way of sporty people to train with, but! yusuke will be enrolling in the university soon so they can def be uni buddies. yusuke has a slight reckless streak so he would be shit at keeping her out of trouble but would be down to get in trouble w/ her at least.

idk i just want cr w/ u again liah ok.... pls model for him

[leans]

SDGKSDGSDGK a literal noodle... nah let her dog try and eat one of the crabs or lobsters he's bound to get i mean-

Uni buddies definitely works... as she side eyes him for his weirdness.

Flexes arm bc this is what he wants to draw right. She knows she's awesome thanks Yusuke for confirming it.

[gouache]

have u seen him.... he's like the strongest noodle in game idek. also please don't eat his crabs?? he loves them ;;

alternatively, he could use her dog as a model.

listen, her physique is inspiring, ok?? i'm trying to imagine them going to the fitness center and yusuke offers to spot her while she's lifting or w/e and i keep laughing fml

[leans]

gknsjdsng HE IS ... bless this noodle. look the dog likes food??? but ok i'll spare his crabs.

also this is a good plan. it will be the cutest fluffball after all.

oh my god ame please... it all starts because she offers to help him be less of a noodle

[gouache]

get him dog food then?? his crabs are innocent and don't deserve this....

korra looks at his skinny arms like no and drags yusuke along and he's just standing there in the middle of the fitness center like ??? alright

grabs the bar with no weights on it and nearly throws out his back trying to lift it

liah i'm fucking crying.

[leans]

her dog can do whatever it wants!!!! why do you think her guardian is probably going insane at this point.

i'm crying too... poor yusuke. he deserves the gold you tried star for his effort, while korra thinks he's making it sound worse than it is

[mincingminuet]

Mmmm LIAH it's ax give me CR.

I have two options, though Yukiko is probably not the best bet for someone as active as Korra. They would've been classmates in High School but beyond that they don't really sound like they have a lot in common.

Penelo (Penelope) in the AU is a geeky nerdy person who actually runs a youtube channel and all sorts of other nonsense. But she's one of those really athletic nerds that gets out, trains, and works out, does rock climbing, etc too. So fitness buddies could be a good angle for them I think...?

Also if she breaks into the underground fight clubs, Penelope is going to be teaching people how to spearfight and probably shoot. So those are also things.

[leans]

From what you've said Penelo definitely seems like the better choice for sure! Rock climbing sounds fantastic! Also show her your youtube channels ig she probably only uses it for dumb things smh

I'm still not sure on that yet as it would be a future thing depending on how things go but it's good to have options there c:

[mincingminuet]

Whatever works for you!

[leans]

Whichever, really! I am very open to things as I am literally flopping around like how do i AU how do i handle things so if you think it'll work that way I'll definitely take your thoughts on that c:

[digthefuzz]

Kurt is also living the undeclared life! Time to bro it up?!

[leans]

Undeclared life is obviously the best life [yesyes] ofc Gore

[digthefuzz]

You're right - it goes without saying (or, without being declared)

[leans]

I'm leaving the puns to you Gore, i'm too weak for this.

Does Kurt like dogs though uwu she will prob sneak hers into class if they ever sit in a class together to see if one piques their interest...

[digthefuzz]

I'll be quite dogged with the material you're now giving me

But awww yes sounds good! He's down with dogs and would definitely chill with it!

[leans]

Well I thought I'd throw you a bone...

Perfect though ;u; everyone else is listening intently and they're just fussing the dog under the table... no wonder they're undeclared tbh

[digthefuzz]

You'd be barking mad to do otherwise.

Ffff yes good. Clearly they have the truest priorities.
