OK, good to know. Basically I wanted the glassbending to play a role... but then realized I didn't think I could ever tone it down to the point where it was a full part of his abilities from the beginning, so I decided to make the mentor and have them do most of the work. Also, the main persona almost doesn't know how to earthbend, and the alternate (blue) persona gets all the teaching in secret while "Yuan" is "asleep." But the main persona is in control like 80%~ of the time and the alt doesn't get to come out every time he goes to sleep, so the training he gets is rather limited, as I attempted to make clear in the sheet. But now that I'm thinking about it more, glassbending or no, no one said the mentor has to be a master or anything XD . Just has to be better than [i]him.[/i]

In any case, you've made it abundantly clear how lacking our characters' skills should be at the beginning so I'm doing my best to stick to that and won't try to pull a fast one mid-rp or anything. Hopefully that assuages any concerns and we can see how things look when the sheet is closer to 100%.

Anyway, now that I know I was on the right track I'll flesh out the mentor. Didn't want to waste the effort if I had it wrong.
