Concept: Jin is a non-bender who is out to prove that he is the match of any bender. He is also an ex-soldier, and even though he was discharged from his position he still puts a priority on the safety of his people.
Backstory:
Jin comes from a small town in the Earth Kingdom. He was born the “older” of two fraternal twins. His brother was the only one who inherited their father’s earth bending ability though. As such, Jin often times felt slighted by the attention his brother got for his abilities. Some were imagined, some weren't. Jin didn't hate his brother by any means, but he hated the attention everyone else gave him. So, Jin started trying to “one up” his brother; trying to do things without bending better than his brother could do with bending. He failed and made a fool of himself a lot, but never gave up. Despite his efforts though, even by their 18th birthday Jin had not beaten his brother even once. So, he decided to join the military. Jin would take advantage of their facilities to train himself further. After 5 years of service, Jin was “discharged” from the military for fighting with a superior officer. The officer was a bender and they got into a fight about bending superiority. The fight was quickly stopped and didn't reach a conclusion(a fact Jin was not happy about). They were both at fault, but since the officer was of higher rank it became Jin's fault. After being discharged he was unsure of what to do. He didn't want to return home yet as he felt his skills could still be polished further, but he didn't really have anywhere else to go. Jin wound up traveling around seeking a master to help polish his skill as well as master himself and his temper. Not sure from there as it depends on how we enter the game.
Personality: Jin is very proud. Any slight to his pride is more than likely going to end in a fight. Jin is very passionate about what he does. Once he starts something, he sees it through to the end. Despite his antagonistic nature, Jin is also pretty good natured. Even though he spent much of his life training to beat his brother he’ll be the first to defend his brother if someone insults him.
Description:Jin is 5’8’’ with relatively short hair kept in a small top-knot. He has a short “chin strap” beard. His keeps his clothes clean, but he sticks to simple comfortable clothes that are easy to move in.
COMPLICATIONS Recognition - Jin is out to prove his skills; to show he isn't inferior to anyone. He isn't necessarily concerned with getting recognition from large number of people. Just so long as he can force the bender in question to admit Jin is an equal if not better, he's happy.
Temper - Jin isn't exactly the most cool headed person from the get go, but he especially hates his skills being slighted. Anyone who says he is inferior to a bender is picking a fight in Jin's mind and Jin is more than willing to oblige.
Responsibility - Jin was booted from the military but he still feels an obligation to protect people. It is for this and this alone that Jin is able to put aside his other feelings and goals in order to accomplish something. Once the people are safe though, it's back on.
