Sin est sorti du train et est entré dans la gare centrale de la Nouvelle-République. Il avait pris le train à Zaofu hier soir au coucher du soleil. Après avoir dit au revoir à sa famille, sa mère lui avait remis un ensemble de carillons de cristal. Il n'était pas sûr pourquoi, exactement, mais elle pensait probablement que ça lui rappellerait la maison. Il n'avait pas encore eu l'occasion de les jouer, mais peut-être qu'il en aurait bientôt une.
Sin est monté dans l'escalier jusqu'à un poste de vente à la surface. "Excusez-moi. Pouvez-vous me dire où se trouve le bureau de recrutement de White Lotus? » Elle lui a donné des indications et cinq minutes plus tard, il est entré. "Excusez-moi, monsieur. Mon nom est le péché."
"Down the hall, deuxième porte à gauche." a dit l'homme.
Sin a supposé qu'il venait de rencontrer tant de volontaires qu'il les a reconnus quand ils entrent. Il descendit le couloir et entra dans la porte où l'homme l'avait dirigé. À l'intérieur se trouvait un homme à une table avec une feuille d'inscription devant lui et une autre porte. "Bienvenue au centre de recrutement New Republic/White Lotus. Etes-vous ici pour vous joindre à nous?"
"Oui" a-t-il dit, et on lui a remis un presse-papier avec "Possible Recruter List" écrit en haut de celui-ci. Il a écrit son nom à côté du numéro 11 et a reçu un gilet avec "11" sur le dos et la poitrine.
"Prends ça et va à l'intérieur." Il a pointé vers l'autre porte. Sin est passé par la porte et est entré dans la pièce avec une zone de combat au milieu. Il a été mis en place comme les zones intérieures de l'arène pro-bendante, avec des disques de pierre et des plateaux d'eau.
Deux pignons de feu étaient actuellement dans l'arène, jetant des coups de feu et des éclairs l'un sur l'autre. Sin est passé au mur, a posé ses sacs, et a marché vers le commandant. "Monsieur, je suis venu m'inscrire pour la lutte contre Kuvira et le Lotus Rouge."
"Bien," a-t-il dit. "Dès que ces gars auront fini, je te jetterai dans la bague." Comme le commandant n'était apparemment pas intéressé à parler aux recrues, Sin s'est assis et a attendu son tour.
Name: Sin Bei Fong
Age: 20
Family: Huan Bei Fong, other Bei Fongs
Type of Bending: Earth/Lava
Personality: Sin doesn't like bullies, and will try and stand up for anyone who is being bullied. He sees governments like Kuvira's, as well as assassins like the Red Lotus, as bullies, and has now decided that he can't sit around any more while they bully people. He has an artistic side, and can often be found reading, listening to music, making his own music, or even looking at art. He has an interest in electronics, and can sometimes be found studying them.
Bio: When the Earth Queen was assassinated by Zaheer many people fled the chaos of Ba Sing Se and traveled to the more tame parts of the world. One of those ships ended up in Zaofu caring and musician named A'mi. A'mi tried to raise money by being a street performer, playing her crystal chimes via Earthbending for money. Huan heard her and, moved by her music, introduced himself. As it turned out, she had seen his work at a museum in the middle ring and liked it.
They went out to eat and lost track of time while in each other's company. They spent the rest of the night talking, well, at least most of the night. The next morning he introduced her to some of his friends in the artist community, including the owner of the local concert hall. Huan taught her metal bending so that she could also play more common stringed instruments and in time they fell even more in love. When she told him she was pregnant he proposed, having already been considering it for the last week.
Sin was that child. He grew up in Zaofu, learning to Earth bend at the age of five, though he was never able to learn metal bending, despite learning from his great grandma Toph. When he was nine they found out why, as, when he was defending himself against some local bullies he got mad and hit the ground and it turned to lava around his fist.
His parents were fast to find him a lava bending teacher, his uncle Bolin, and soon he had learned to make various volcanic rocks with his abilities. He applied this to the art lessons his parents gave him and soon he was sculpting with these rocks as well. His greatest sculpture, "Rise to the Sun", an obsidian corkscrew with a sphere on top, sits in the Zaofu museum.
When he was 20 he heard of the White Lotus's call for troops and decided to help. After all, his uncles and aunt Opal had joined the fight against Kuvira, and he couldn't stand by and let the people of the world continue to suffer. He said goodbye to his family and bought a ticket on the next airship to Republic city.
Equipment: Obsidian knife he made himself, set of chimes his mother gave him, drawing book, graphite pencils
Other: His mother invented steel drums and his younger brother Sai invented an electric guitar. Also, his great grandma did manage to teach him to "see" through vibrations in the earth and even, with concentration, tell if someone's lying. He rarely uses this ability, however, as lava and some types of volcanic rock make it fuzzy.
