Gonna put up my work in progress before I head out in case there's some feedback. Got some plans coming up. I'll try to finish the rest of the sheet soon! [hider=Jin Wei] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/EK90zvs.png[/img][/center] [CENTER][h2][color=steelblue]Jin Wei [/color][/h2][/CENTER] [color=steelblue][b]Name:[/b][/color] Jin Wei [color=steelblue][b]Age:[/b][/color] 23 [color=steelblue][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male [color=steelblue][b]Element:[/b][/color] Air [color=steelblue][b]Residence:[/b][/color] [i]Technically[/i], Jin Wei possesses a small apartment around the SynEn Power Plant, but in actuality, Jin ends up living out of his car more often than not. He frequents Ba Sing Se often enough that he occasionally rents out a space in the Lower Ring. [color=steelblue][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] SynEn Pipe Runner [color=steelblue][b]Who are you:[/b][/color] A free spirit and a blue collar worker- admittedly one of the few instances in which such a combination were ever possible. Work is still work, but no one from SynEn corporate really wants to wander their way out into the desert long enough to tell me how to do my job (or fire me for that matter), so they usually leave me alone and let me do my own thing. So long as the Synergy keeps flowing, I guess they don't particularly care how. Being a SynEn Pipe Runner isn't glamorous work: Take one part plumber, two parts pest control, and one part border security, slap minimum wage on it and you have me. Granted, base pay for SynEn is much better than anything you'd get in the city' and hazard pay on top isn't bad either, so I'm scraping by a bit better than some folk. I can afford the basics: ammunition, lodging and food- but it always feels like I'm short a buck or ten more than is comfortable. Kinda forces you into being a bit more resourceful when we're out in the sands... [sub]Between you and me, none of us out here really pay for fuel- I mean, there's a whole pipeline's worth of power a few meters away. We're always patching leaks anyway, so what's a few more missing units of Synergy, right? I mean really, the big bad power company can't afford to provide fuel for the people who keep their pipelines in order? They make me pay for my own ammunition for spirits' sake...[/sub] Anyway, life isn't that bad out here for the most part. Its hot as all hell, but people leave you alone usually. And if trouble does come knocking, usually other Pipe Runners will always keep an eye out for you too. There's an honesty to life out here that you don't really get in Ba Sing Se. A bit rough and rugged sure, but you know everyone's angle. There's no gang politics or corpo backstabbing, no con men or thieves with hearts of gold. The people out here are either out to steal Synergy and shoot you, or back you up and shoot [i]them[/i]. That's the type of simplicity I can get behind. I've got my gun, I've got my car, and I've got Sumire on the Radio. What else could I need? Well, other than an ice cold beer and working AC. [color=steelblue][b]What is your opinion on Benders?[/b][/color] Well if you asked me in public and for the record, I'd tell you that benders were the devil and all deserve to be thrown out into the desert and left to wander the wastes until their bodies eventually shriveled up in the heat or went crazy from all of the Synergy radiation. Now of course, if you asked me behind closed doors... its... a bit less cut and clear. I mean, all my life I learned that Benders were the reasons behind all the troubles society went through- and I was happy to believe that until I found out that I could do a bit of airbending myself a few years back. Now, I know I'm not exactly what you'd call an "[i]upstanding member of society[/i]", but I've had time to take a step back and look at things and how they are right now- and I'll tell you what... Benders for the most part are gone, any and every bender they find are snuffed out quicker than people knew they existed. And after all of that, guess what? Ba Sing Se [i]still[/i] has problems. Gangs still run the lower levels, the aristocrats still pretend none of us shit-stains exist behind their high walls and ivory towers and legions of bought out RSF. Maybe, just [i]maybe[/i], Benders aren't the problem. Now, I'm no revolutionary, I'm not gonna get up in arms and start fighting the system- I'm not an idiot, and I'd like to live and see another decade. I'm just saying, as far as I'm concerned, if I run across you and you're a bender? I never saw ya. [color=steelblue]Notable Gear[/color][list] [*][hider=Sato General Automotives Kyoshi RS][img]https://i.imgur.com/L5yo63s.jpg[/img] Jin Wei's personal vehicle is a highly modified Kyoshi RS. Suspension and handling has been modified to make it a viable offroad vehicle, and its chassis has been replaced with armored plates to protect its occupants from both gunfire and the general hazards of the lands outside of Ba Sing Se. Armored shutters replace the glass surfaces of the vehicles, the high winds and sands typically render visibility moot anyway, so the vehicle relies on a series of multispectrum cameras to allow the occupants to see while the shutters are lowered. Storage racks on top of the vehicle provide additional storage, and the back seat has been replaced with a plush bench that doubles as a sleeping mat.[/hider] [*][hider=Pipe Runner Kit][img]https://i.imgur.com/CCy9Nk3.jpg[/img] While Pipe Runners don't have any particular uniform, they do generally possess the same components: Utilitarian, durable clothes with plenty of pockets, a sealed helmet to filter out the sand and toxic air, a SynEn ID badge, an outer coat to protect from the sand and winds, and typically a rucksack with survivalist supplies such as spare batteries, flashlights, emergency rations, first aid kit, survival knife, and the like.[/hider] [*][hider=Sato Armory L-45 'Defiant'][img]https://i.imgur.com/0bA2rTL.jpg[/img] This short barrelled lever action rifle was originally designed as a marksman weapon for RSF scouts. A relatively older design, the L-45 has since been phased out for newer weapons, but still remains rather popular amongst survivalists, gun enthusiasts and frontiersmen alike. Durable, reliable and chambered in a relatively high caliber, the L-45 still sees use among groups such as the SynEn Corporation's Pipe Runners as an accurate but affordable weapon that can handle the dusty and rough conditions far away from society. Jin Wei's rifle has a medium range 1-4x scope and aiming laser, as well as a side mounted ammo carrier.[/hider] [/list] [color=steelblue][b]Extra:[/b][/color] Color Code: [color=steelblue]steelblue[/color] [hr] [hider=Sumire] [img]https://i.imgur.com/P8sZ8j8.png[/img] [CENTER][h2][color=steelblue]Sumire Lin [/color][/h2][/CENTER] [color=steelblue][b]Name:[/b][/color] Sumire Lin [color=steelblue][b]Age:[/b][/color] 20 [color=steelblue][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Female [color=steelblue][b]Residence:[/b][/color] SynEn Power Plant [color=steelblue][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] SynEn Pipe Runner, Radio Operator Jin Wei's junior in the company. Occasionally accompanies him on his outings into the wastes, but usually functions as a dispatch operator, coordinating with the local Pipe Runners and sending them where needed. The only person who knows that Jin Wei is an Airbender, though that discovery was made by accident. Excitable and friendly. [/hider] [/hider]
