Skin: His sking is a tan-broze color, and still bears the marks of teenage zits.
Body Type: He is lean and balanced, with lean muscles, although he inherited a curvish back from his mom. Not his fault.

|CHARACTERISTICS|
Personality: He is very laid back and chill. He is in tune with his inner self, and bears a calmness about him even when fighting. Only his pet peeves really tick him off. He is a warm-hearted warrior who avoids fighting when he can (although it's hard when your'e a mercenary).
Personal Strengths: 1. Calm
2. Confidant, but is gifted enough in tackics to knwo when to stop.
3. Martial prowess. Includes firebending.
4. Humble
5. Throws himself at every task, mind, body, and soul.
Personal Weaknesses: 1. He is a bit socially awkward.
2. He finds a conflict between his job and his ethics.
Hamartia: Probably his friends and his wholeheartedness. These provide a fairly large chink in his armor, one he really would rather not get rid of, and could be fatal if the right villain or opponent came along.
Personal Hero: The Lion Turtle and the ALA General Iroh
Dreams and Ambitions: To find the Lion Turtle again, and to make the greatest impact for good on the world he can.
Likes: 1. Training
2. The science involved in bending. It really intruiges him, causing him to own several books on the subject.
3. Balance. The whole yin-yang concept.
4. Adventure. He really is an adventure-holic.
5. Challenge. Once he runs out of challenges, he tends to get bored out of his mind!

Dislikes: 1. Long lines
2. No chocloate, noodles, or rolls. Come on, right?
3. Annoying pets.
4. The arrogant and pompous. This just drives him UP THE WALL.
5. unnecessary violence. The martial arts and sacred arts of bending are a gift, not a weapon of mass destruction.
Brief History: As a child, Yofuey was taught firebending by his father, a retired general of some import. Yofuey's mother aslo taught him the arts, something he really appreciated. Everything was peaceful until he turned 13. On his father's travels, the general had gotten on the bad side of a nasty group of nomad barbarian chi blockers. This group decided to avenge the past wrongs, assaulting Yofuey's house under the cover of night. His family was killed, but the chi blocker sent to kill Yofuey just couldn't follow through. Instead the lad was taken captive, and for years he was taught to chi block in the hopes that the boy would join the tribe. Yofuey proved to be a cunning troublemaker, being constantly abused for practicing firebending and attempting to escape their clutches. One day, when the tribe was taking a bout to Ba Sing Se, he successfully fought his way free, diving into the sothing sea, thinking that anything was better than life with the nomads. He swam until exhaustion, finally washing up on an island. He survived for weeks, but just barely. The sudden realization of his location came as a shock. Yofuey realized that the island was moving (I hope it's okay to use the Lion Turtle like this!)!
Yofuey learned a few secrets from the lion turtle, including the idea of launching pressure attacks to block chi. After about a year of living with the lion turtle, Yofuey finally returened to the mainland, where he has taken up mercenary work.
