Favorite weapon: Prefers not to use violence, but he carries a switchblade. Hometown: Shanghai, China Non-Elemental talent: Lin is good with languages. He can speak English, French and Spanish on top of his native Mandarin, and knows sign language as well Backstory: Lin came from an everyday working class family in the big city of Shanghai, the only child of his parents. His parents both had to work to support the family, so he spent most of his time alone, studying languages as he planned to go abroad when he grew up. His mother contracted bone cancer soon after he was born, and died seven years later. His father, grieved by the loss of his wife, distanced himself from his son even more, making the majority of Lin's life feel like complete isolation even though he resided in one of the largest cities in the world. Like the rest of these kids, he was sent to this school when he turned 11 to hone his Elemental powers, which he'd only just really discovered.
