|APPEARANCE|
Hair: Although his hair used to be darker, as he grew older; Ketsuo's hair color began to change slightly to the point where his hair can be seen as a light brown when the sun hits straight to his head. Nevertheless, as a man that usually spend his time in shadows and darkness in caves and the Earth Kingdom's Military Compound.

Eyes: Constant exposure to the crystal caves where he trained with his father eventually lead him to get a weird green color in his eyes, nevertheless; little is known of the change of that his whole body went through after years passed.

Height: 1,79m

Clothes: His previous attire that seemed the clothes of a commoner (which he was) was replaced long ago. After he joined the Military, Ketsuo is now seen wearing a green A-Shirt with a white scarf on his neck. In his hands, the bandages that covered his wounds and that helped with his hand to hand combat were now replaced by leather gloves that allow him to hide his silver daggers with the knowledge he has in metal bending.

Skin: Katsuo's skin is visibly similar to other citizens of the Earth Kingdom, still; his hands and feet became rougher due to his work as an artisan in his younger years. Besides that, his skin does not display any other difference since it is smooth and clean eventhough he is used to get dirty with dust in the team's drills and missions.

Body Type: Usually, many of the Military personnel in the Earth Kingdom has a strong build, on the other hand; Ketsuo managed to work in his agility and bending skills rather than his physical strenght. For that reason, he has an athletic body with average muscles that allowed him to perfom his job accordingly.

Brief History:
Katsuo Daichi was born from a poor family in the Lower Ring, since quite some time, his father, Kenji Daichi; decided to give up on war after a huge failure during a battle and decided to follow his ancester's skills of Earthbending to create sculptures made of stone and metal.

Although highly appraised by the market, Kenji couldn´t keep up with the demand, and as the head of his family of 4 members, he couldn´t help but to teach his oldest son, the 10 years old Kenji; earthbending to help with the family´s store.

Due to his military background, Kenji had a strict but disciplined rutine that started before the sunrise and finished just after the sunset. Such rutine allowed Katsuo to actually learn earthbending in a few years to a decent level... but denied him the joy of the transition that everyone has from childhood to being a teenage boy.

Time passed, and although Katsuo grew up to be a normal adult, he still spent most of his time helping his family´s store... constantly ashamed of his father's dishonor... hearing from customers from distant lands stories about different people, different cultures, and even different stones...

Such mixed feelings eventually lead him to leave his family's business once that his brothers were old enough to take on the Daichi's Gallery, to the place where his father had failed: to the Earth Kingdom's military, where he would test his skills as much as possible in order to restore the honor that he lost.
