----

Name: Jing (荆)

Age: 26

Nationality: Republic City

Affinity: Earth

Skills:
-Mechanic: He inherited the family autobody shop after a bending accident killed his father. Though young, he had learned the trade early enough to continue the business, and forfeited school in order to save it from loan sharks. After joining the equalists, he helped create and fix some of the electronic gadgets they were equipped with.

-Cook: As an only child whose mother died giving birth to, Jing grew up learning how to cook from working at a neighboring restaurant. Even now, on the weekends when the autobody shop is closed, he sometimes helps out at the same restaurant.

-Chi-blocker: Jing's father knew a little of how to manipulate chi in medicinal practices, and taught Jing how to block chi at an early age. After joining the Equalists, he started to participate in their chi-blocking classes as well, to advance his technique. Though not one to start a fight, Jing is not afraid to pull any moves or tricks that would allow him to quickly end the fight.

Personality:
-Serious: Having to take responsibility for a family shop at a young age has made him a bit too serious a person. He also doesn't actively look for friends, and instead contents himself with having his tools as his friends. As such, each of his tools has a name, and Jing often talks to them to pass the time. Heavily influenced by his father's philosophy, Jing believes whole-heartedly that "You build your life on blood, sweat and tears." Thus, Jing prioritizes diligence and hard work over talent, and believes that one can achieve one's goal through hard work.

-Business-driven: Though Jing doesn't hate benders, he doesn't like them either. He still holds a grudge towards the benders who murdered his father, but he also has benders at the restaurant he works at who have helped him in the past. Bender or nonbender, as long as they require his services and he makes money for his family autobody shop, Jing would not hold a bias. Strictly speaking on the business side, joining the Equalists was more profitable. And Jing would do anything to keep his father's company alive, even if it means putting up with the the bullying from loan sharks and Yeonghwa.

RP sample:

Jing watched as the last customer of the day drove off in their newly patched Satomobile, and winced as the young driver immediately floored it. That kid will be coming back in a couple of days with a dozen more scratches and a few misfired cylinders. But hey, Jing wouldn't complain - rich kids mean more business. And more business meant his dad's autobody shop wouldn't have to shut down from debt.

Jing closed the shop doors, swept and mopped the floor, and carefully put away his tools, going through the same motions that he'd done every day for 12 years already. Only when the shop was clean did Jing turn the shop lights off and head upstairs to his little workshop, where he was greeted with a mess of scraps, parts, and gadgets. Pulling his work gloves back on, he addressed them warmly,

"Well, Lin-Rin, what should we build today?

Additional notes:
-The ring on the necklace around his neck is his mother's wedding ring, and the only reminder he has left of her.
-Those glasses were a birthday present from his father a few days before he died. He wears them whenever he's outside and away from the shop.
-Jing's autobody shop is called "Yu Family Autobody Services"
-Fei Yen also works at his shop.
