[atrb=style, font-family: Tahoma; word-spacing: 1px; text-align: center; background: #88aabb; border: 1px dashed #88aabb; color: blue; padding: 10px] CHARACTER INFO Name: Yee, Sheng Age: 28, born January 1st Gender: Male Sexual Preference: Straight Class: Bender Bending: Waterbender PHYSICAL INFO Hair: A light blueish white. Eyes: Soft amber. Height & Weight: Six foot, 160 Ibs. Sheng's a slender man. Appearance: Sheng is a tall, slim man who seems smaller than he is. He doesn't carry himself very well, although he doesn't slump or anything like that, so it seems like he's smaller than he really is. For a Water Tribe man he has unusually fair skin. Attire: Sheng wears traditional Waterbending gear. He doesn't really differ much except for his ornate earrings. PERSONALITY INFO Likes: - MEAT! - Warm soups - The Moon - Water - the warmth from fire - Snow - His family - Waterbending Dislikes: - His father - Being mistrusted - Vicious men - Metal benders - Feeling like an outsider - Unsafe seas Dreams/Wishes: - To become a well-known Waterbending master - To marry, possibly. - To be able to support everyone that he loves. Fears: - Death - Something happening to his family - Not being good enough, ever Overall Personality: Sheng is very much an introvert. He's careful to hide his emotions and he's typically unattached from the comings and goings of everyday life. He doesn't feel compelled to be overly friendly towards others, which in turn has given him somewhat of a cold reputation. Large social gatherings are horrible for him, and if there's a party or celebration he typically skips them. Sheng has great respect and love for the women of his family. His mother was a strong woman, albeit one that didn't really love him, and after her death his grandmother was a strong influence in his life. His younger half-sister is a great joy in his life, and in recent years he has become quite the doting older brother for her. He adores his family, both his immediate and his extended, although he neither cares for nor trusts his father. Ji is a huge black stain on Sheng and his psyche and he's terrified of turning out just like him. Sheng is a family man at heart, and would love nothing more than to be married and have a huge family, but his own insecurities from his father's relationships makes him hesitant to pursue anyone. Sheng is a determined Waterbender. He doesn't care either way about fighting, but he always will go to battle when he must. He's very methodical about technique and going about things the traditional way while also looking for innovations in uses. Sheng is not a young man that is overflowing in masculinity, which can put some dissonance in between him and other members of his tribe. He's not all go-hoe about joining the Wolf Pack and being a warrior, though he will never flat out refuse to play his part. He's a homebody who would rather stay at home then go out on adventures or journeys. Sheng is not a bender that is particularly connected with the Spirit World. He is to a certain degree, because of the nature of his bending element. After his ominous warnings to his father many thought that he was unnaturally favored by the spirits, but it quickly became certain that this was a freak occurrence. The spirits just don't factor as much into his life as he could allow. BACKGROUND INFO Father: Ji, 68, deceased Mother: Jia Li, 45, deceased Siblings: Hua, half-sister [14 years old] Other: No one of importance Nation of Origin: Ocean Tribe, Water Kingdom Overall History: Sheng was born and raised on the Ocean Tribe island. His birth was in all honestly a huge mistake and a huge scandal since his mother had been a pupil of his father's. His father was supposed to be training his mother in various water bending techniques, and while many noticed the obvious closeness that the two shared, no one thought much about it until Jia Li was beginning to show and her parents demanded to know who the father was. It didn't take much for her to confess that it was Ji. Naturally, the shit hit the fan at that point. Ji was immediately stripped of his duties as a bending master. Jia Li's family wasn't happy with this, and placed a lot of pressure on the two to get married. Ji stopped his feet but his bride's family eventually won out. He and a heavily pregnant Jia Li wed a mere five days before Sheng was born on the first day of the new year. Sheng's birth wasn't the happiest occasion. Things were still tense after the recent marriage between the families, and the added stressed of a newborn child only expounded that issue. Ji wasn't pleased that he had a son that would bear his last name, and Jia Li was disappointed in being a loveless, especially considering how she had eyes for someone else. Nonetheless, the two stayed together, more out of pressure from his mother's family than anything else. Growing up Sheng was always in the mists of tension. His parents did love him well enough, but he could tell that both his mother and father resented him for partly belonging to their spouse. Neither one was mature enough to look past the half that wasn't theirs and love their child unconditionally. Sheng showed signs of being a bender early on. This did enlist some excitement from both of his parents, as they were glad that their bending abilities were passed on. Both of his parents funneled a lot of time and energy into training him to wield water. And he showed a natural affinity for it. He could pick up difficult techniques easier than most, and he was always thinking up new uses for waterbending. Around the time that Sheng was 10 he became vividly aware two things for the first time in his life. One was the raging Metal Wars of which he had no connection to, and the second being increasing rumors of his father's infidelities. Of course, knowing Ji these stories weren't that surprising, but when Jia Li died shortly before Sheng's eleventh birthday from a cough that wouldn't recede, eerie things began. One day, out of nowhere Sheng had approached Ji who was preparing to go out for a 'casual night' and said in the most calm and emotionless voice, "If you disgrace Mother, her ghost is going to haunt you." In all honestly, Sheng doesn't remember this encounter at all. His father punished him, although the behavior did not stop. As the years continued Ji feel victim to a number of health issues, and shortly after a young woman announced that she was pregnant with Ji's child he died in a freak accident along the shore. Hua was born a little around a year after the end of the Metal Wars, which Sheng always found to be incredibly optimistic. New birth from war. Her mother died in childbirth, and no one on her maternal side particularly wanted to care for her. Sheng, who was being cared for by Jia Li's mother at the time, was able to convince her to take in Hau. A couple of years later, after Sheng turned 18, he moved out and took his half sister with hm and has been raising her ever since, although he can't really articulate what has caused him to do so. Hau turned out to be a rather unremarkable child. She was a bender, though she never showed much interest in her practice that it was unclear if she could bend or not until later in her life. She was neither incredibly smart or gifted in any field, but she was a pretty, loving girl and Sheng still guarded her with a fierceness that only a brother could muster. In time Sheng opened himself up to teaching young Waterbenders skills and techniques. When he first started their was some resistance in the community that Sheng would repeat his father's mistakes, but in time the clammer has died down considerably.
