Since they are twin brothers, who are completely identical and share the same sort of backstory, I decided to put them together in the sign-up.
Name: Baltiaire and Frago
Gender: Males
Age: 19
Alignment: Baltiaire: Light, Frago: Light, though could be convinced to dabble in the dark arts.
Rank: Final year apprentices
Appearance: Baltiaire and Frago are identical twins. Due to them having the same sort of childhood, growing up on a farm, and being trained in bending, they still share most of their physical characteristics, with the exception of scars and such. Frago has more burn scars, whilst Baltiaire has more scars from cuts. Because their training differed due to being different benders, Baltiaire is slightly slower, but slightly psychically stronger and balanced, whilst Frago is more light on his feet and quick.
The pair stand at 6 ft 1, both semi well built due to working on a farm most of their lives, and both have different types of scars on them, though none are visible at first glance. Unless you see them bending, or know their wardrobes well, it is very hard to tell the difference based on appearance. For the first few weeks at the guild, the other apprentices thought that there was one apprentice who changed his clothes really often. Frago tends to stand slightly taller and prouder than Baltiaire, who has always seemed to naturally have bad posture.
The twins have messy, medium length black hair with dark green/hazel eyes. Their skin is slightly tanned, and their faces lightly freckled. Depending on the mood either twin is in, one of them might not shave and have a bit of facial hair, or both of them.
Baltiaire tends to wear navy blue, black and grey clothing, whilst Frago tends to wear blue and red.
Frago's Keyblade armour is slate grey with yellow/orange accents. The forarms have curved spikes pointing from the wrist to the elbow purely for decoration, as do the calves from the knees to the ankles. Baltiaire 's armour is slim fitting and simple. It is a cobalt blue colour with streaks of carbon fibre grey. However due to his lack of a proper keyblade, he is unable to sustain the armour for long periods of time or extended damage. He has been known to metalbend makeshift armour when his keyblade armour gives out.

History: Baltiaire wand Frago were born the identical twin sons of a firebender and earthbender, fifteen years before the hundred year war was ended when Avatar Aang and his friends took down the airship fleet, gatecrashed and stopped the coronation of Princess Azula, and removed the bending of Fire Lord Ozai.
Baltiaire and Frago were born and raised on a small farm on the outskirts of Yu Dao, a fire nation colony. Their father was a fire-bender, descending from royalty (His great grandfather was the uncle of Fire Lord Sozin), and their mother a farmers daughter from the Yu Dao area. During the war, their father pulled every string he could from being part of the royal family to have peace on their farm, but even then they were still attacked by rogue soldiers, bandits and vigilante's who sought to kill the firebenders. Because of this, from a young age, they were trained in their abilities, as well as how to run the farm. Baltiaire in earthbending by their mother, and Frago in firebending by their father, which also included the generation of lightning.
When they were fourteen, their farm was attacked by bandits in the dead of the night. They were used to bandit attacks being small and uncoordinated but this was different. There were more bandits than they could fight, and they were much more coordinated and strategic with this attack.
When the battle looked like it would be lost, their mother did what she had to to protect them. As the twins fought, the ground beneath them dropped, then closed above them, leaving them trapped underneath the farm. They had realized why, and every time Baltiaire would earthbend it open again, their mother would close it. After a few minutes, Baltiaire opened the earth above them, and it didn't close. Their mother had been killed.
They got out of the giant hole they had been trapped in, and watched as their father had a knife plunged into his back, and pulled to his waist. Frago electrocuted the bandit, and the two managed to fight off the rest of them. The ones who didn't flee were killed. When the fighting was over, they found their father who was barely alive. He couldn't feel anything from his chest downwards, and was losing a lot of blood. He had minutes left, but was in excruciating pain. In these minutes he made a final request. He asked Frago to kill him. He wanted to die quickly and peacefully, and didn't want the person responsibly for his death to be a cowardly bandit. He would rather his son, whom he had trained from the moment he showed the ability to firebend, to be the one to end his life.
Frago couldn't do it. He stood there, astounded as his fathers dying words were begging him to kill him. After a minute the earth beneath him twisted around so that his back was turned. Before Frago realised what was going on, their father was dead. Baltiaire had turned Frago around so he didn't have to see it, then sent their father to the afterlife.
After burying their parents, the brothers traveled across the earth kingdom, eventually stopping at Ba Sing Se. They had never really wanted to be farmers, and knew that destiny had called them elsewhere. In Ba Sing Se, they managed to rent a small apartment in the lower ring, paying for it by working as labourers in a farm in the Agrarian zone (Baltiaire) of Ba Sing Se and in a forge in the middle ring (Frago).
After a year of living in Ba Sing Se, the fire nation coup caused the city to fall, and to fall into chaos. The brothers managed to survive the year without too much trouble due to being of Fire Nation heritage. Before too long, the war ended, and Ba Sing Se was under Earth Kingdom control again. For the first time in a century, there was peace in the world.
When the twins were sixteen, the Beifong Metalbending Academy opened up a campus in Ba Sing Sei, where Baltiaire began studying Metalbending. Though it took a lot of practise, he stuck to it, and in two years was as capable of a Metalbender as he was an Earthbender.
Shortly after Baltiaire finished at the Metalbending Academy, Frago awoke one night to the sound of footsteps in their apartment. He woke Baltiaire up and they quietly made their way into the kitchen area of the apartment, where they found a man waiting for them.
Upon interrogating the man, they found out he had come for Baltiaire, and claimed to be from a place called the Keyblade Guild in another world. He told them that Baltiaire had been chosen to learn how to use keyblades, which is a rare gift. When Frago asked if he had been chosen as well, the man quickly denied it, saying that the Elders specifically told him only Baltiaire was chosen.
The brothers were skeptical, and told the man to back up his claims. In response, he summoned his keyblade, and then used it to use a spell on Baltiaire. A spell which would forcefully summon his own keyblade. However it didn't go as planned. A keyblade didn't appear in Baltiaire's hand, but Frago's.
The keyblade master used a book to take the brothers to the Keyblade Guild, to speak to the Elders. When he first asked them which one was the chosen one, they unanimously agreed it was Baltiaire, and were all shocked when the spell summoned a keyblade to Frago again. In the end, they allowed both brothers to stay.
The brothers were given a month to return home and take care of any loose ends they had. In this time, a meteor shower hit the farm that Baltiaire had been working at. He remembered hearing stories about Team Avatar and how even though Sokka didn't have bending abilities, he was still valuable to the team. He also remembered hearing about the 'Space Sword'.
Baltiaire harvested as much metal as he could from the meteor that hit the farmland, and took it to the forge where Frago had been working during their time in Ba Sing Se. From this metal, he crafted himself a weapon in the likeness of a keyblade. Essentially a keyblade without the magic properties of a keyblade. Until his own one made itself present, this would have to do.
After tying up loose ends at home, they finally moved into the keyblade guild, where they have been apprentices since, nearing the end of their apprenticeship.
Keyblade:
Frago's keyblade is slightly longer than the average keyblade (3-4) inches). The main shaft of it is a bright, chrome like metal, with a slight orange/red tint. Along the shaft are small openings which are linked to a trigger on the hilt. The trigger causes flammable gas to flow through and out the shaft, which can be ignited. The hilt is the shape of a dragons head, which encases Frago's hand. There are three black teeth that jut out on the end of the key.
Baltiaire's Keyblade is not a traditional keyblade. Baltiaire hand-forged his keyblade himself, using metal from a meteor like he had heard stories of, and using his own metalbending to shape it into the perfect weapon for him. Whilst Frago doesn't completely understand his keyblade, Baltiaire knows every inch of it. He knows the exact weight and feel of it. It is not a weapon to him but an extension of his own body. However because it was forged by Baltiaire, to be a temporary keyblade until he acquired a proper one, it has none of the magic properties of other keyblades. It does not just materialise out of thin air. He must carry it with him. He must maintain and repair it. He can not use it to do magic.
The keyblade is capable of changing forms due to Baltiaire being capable of metalbending, however has a 'base' form which Baltiaire tends to leave it as. The hilt is made of glowing crystals from the Ba Sing Sei catacombs, which can be extended or retracted with earthbending to create deadly spikes. The shaft and teeth are made of compressed and compacted black meteor metal. Due to it being so dense and compacted, it is very strong. Baltiaire often uses his metalbending to reshape the sword, mostly moving the teeth to give extra length, or appendages off the blade to block others. It is indeed a sword designed for a metalbender.
Other: From a world with four nations named after the elements, where certain gifted people have the ability to manipulate them to their will. A hundred year was has seen its end in recent years, which Baltiaire and his Frago were lucky to survive. Baltiaire has the ability to manipulate earth and some impure metals, whilst Frago ha the ability to create and manipulate fire and lightning.



I came in like a wrecking ball...
