Master of earth

*“Hey…”*
— Riley Brookstone

**Riley Brookstone** is the current Elemental Master of Earth

## History

Riley lived a normal life with their parents until Lilly, their mother who was a great earth elemental master, died. This really impacted their life and this made them want to be strong enough to defend others who cannot defend themselves. Their father usually ignored them because of grief and Riley ignored most people as well, making them socialize less. Before their mother died, Riley always went to nature walks with their mom and with their dad, they always listened to his music. Young Riley did all these things by themself to make themselves believe everything was normal… At age 16, they were abandoned by their father, wanting to focus on ‘his own interests.’ With no guardian support, they quit school and tried to find a job. They decided to enter illegal fighting tournaments since it gave a lot of money. However, they kept on losing and losing and losing… Riley felt humiliated each time by opponents and their manager so they continued to practice, not having time for anything else. This made them stronger and was able to win some fights. Their manager offered food and a home for Riley, even though it wasn’t the best quality, if they kept on fighting. Even though Riley almost couldn’t even stand after fighting, Riley didn’t want to be homeless. However, their manager beat them up by using other fighters for ‘practice.’ As months passed though, getting hurt felt more numb to them with also improving their fighting abilities. This made their manager want to keep them but he still treated Riley like trash. They became more angry at opponents, being too rough sometimes. Riley started to forget wanting to save others. Then, one day, Riley got into the finals but almost got beaten to death with everyone laughing at them. Their manager called them weak and Riley was almost unconscious and started to tear up. Finally, Riley was thrown out of their house, losing the job for having their ´most embarrassing fight ever’ according to the manager and losing the finals. Riley, who didn’t know what to do, decided to travel out of the city with only a backpack full of supplies. Riley climbed the highest mountains and hiked the most dense forests. They felt more in tune with nature just like when they walked through the park with their mother. They rested on a small hilltop and felt the ground but then they felt a small crack on the ground. Riley stared at the rock, learning they were the elemental master of earth.

## Personality

They are calm and chill people who usually rather do their own things and have a bit of mistrust with others due to abandonment issues... So they are mostly a mystery to others but they know their interests very well like music. They also love exploring nature, always being curious about it, even with the smallest bug. Those hobbies make them the most calm because they remind them of old times… If you get to know them, they are super sweet and emotional people who can have a temper sometimes when they talk about personal things or if a person they cared about a lot is harmed. This means they are very loyal and love to save others who can’t defend themselves. They also really like exercise to keep their superhuman strength gift, sometimes overworking themselves. Riley is also insecure about being ‘weak’ because of what they were taught in fighting tournaments.
