Doesn't that one have a nickname they're known by, though?

Since you're making him an Earthbender, I think it's good to have a demonstration of modern earthbending combat.

(Note: all metalbenders are earthbenders, but only a few earthbenders are metalbenders. It's a somewhat uncommon talent)
Your guy's fighting style wouldn't be standard by any means, but that's okay: if played right it can make him cooler.

Name: Gunther, Otherwise known as The Jolly Bandit or Fire-Quencher
Age: Late 30s-Early 40s
Appearance: 6'9 feet tall,weighs 300 pounds, He is wearing an eye-patch over his left eye. His face is pitted with scars and his nose has obviously been broken and poorly reset several times. His hair is unkempt and goes down to roughly an inch before it was chopped of with some kind of knife,His greasy beard goes down and covers his neck and lower face. He has  a green eye and his hair is dark brown. He has a very large beer gut and us somewhat chubby overall, However underneath he has the Muscles of a Gorilla. He is very calm and easy-going until he gets into a fight, In which case he almost instantly transforms into an insane Berserk Madman.
Background:  He was raised by superstitious Farmers that were very kind to him, But when he was 15 his home village was burned and pillaged by an insane Fire-bender and a handful of hired thugs, He's vowed to hunt down Fire-Benders ever since then and he proudly wears a necklace holding a tooth of every Fire-Bender He's ever killed. He takes enjoyment in burning Fire-Bender corpses. He also disdains the Rich because of their wealth and utter refusal to aid the starving and the poor,As such he often takes it upon himself to liberate their funds and distribute them to the needy, It's not uncommon for him to kill a millionaire and then spend the contents of his wallet on drinks for random Tavern-goers and to then donate several 100,000 dollars to the Barkeep. He has a 100,000 dollar bounty on his head over several dozen accounts of murder and high treason, The bounty was set by several rich merchants and politicians who see him as a menace to society, A title which he wholeheartedly embraces as his own. He is quite infamous among local politicians and the Fire-Bending community.Likewise among the homeless community he is revered and they frequently hide him from law enforcement officers and aid him in fights, One bounty hunter stabbed him in the back and was killed almost immediately by no less than a dozen hobos and drunkards, Who then pooled their money to get him into a hospital.
Skills/Abilities/Traits: Professional Brawler
Skilled Knife Fighter
Skilled Club Man
Skilled Thrower
He's an Alcoholic, He's hated by most fire benders and rich folks but is revered among fellow drunkards and the homeless.
Combat Style/ MO: Drunken Berserking with a heavy amount of tanking.
Posessions: Gunther's Tooth Necklace,A stolen combat knife, A well-worn cudgel,10 throwing rocks,Filthy Cargo Pants, A Travel-worn Jean Jacket, A stained undershirt, Scuffed Hiking Boots, A Stolen Military Rucksack, A bottle of Whiskey(10).

((2 issues from the planning thread remain: the name "Gunther" doesn't quite match the setting and I'm not sure there are enough millionaires for him to have killed a bunch of them.))

Spoiler: Wei Li (click to show/hide)

So, I made him a bit older to fit the storyline better. And then I dropped the teahouse thing and went for full on gagdeteer/mechanic. Someone's gotta drive the partyvan, after all.

Let me know if something's wrong or doesnt fit.

If he's got the tattoos he must be a very good airbender indeed, so I actually think he'd do pretty well in most fights. Also, if he's gotten in with them enough to get the tattoos, what's he doing being a mercenary? Then again, air nomads are about freedom I guess.

Eh, I'm acting more to help people than actually get paid - if the cause is just, I do it for free.
Also: I do well in fights, but if it comes to me going toe-to-toe with, let's say, a master firebender? Ya, gg.
