overall personality: Wang is a bit distrustful to strangers, lifetime of solitude has that affect on a man. Overall Wang is calm, he likes to spend his time in the tavern trying to forget something, he is almost never willing to speak of his past when he is sober, yet after few drinks he might just open up. Wang likes to think ... he does that behind the glass trying to figure things out, he likes to call himself a philosopher a philosopher who needs to drown his muses! Wang doesn't like to make trouble, but whenever threatened he will go for it, he isn't afraid of challenges. Wang prefers to observe, that's what he does all day long he observes and it that zone he feels most comfortable. Wang is very conventional he doesn't like people who try to rebel against the traditions or elders.
::a past to remember[/font]
Wang doesn't remember much of his parents, because all of his drinking has had an affect on his memory. He does remember that they were strict and gave him the conventional traditions he holds in high esteem now.
At 20 Wang was sent to the army by his parents and he arose from the ladder very quickly. Being a fire-bender he had a great success in the army. Wang was a natural bender and did learn some trick from the monks at the monasteries. Wang was made a general and sent to wage wars ... he did so for 10 years after he came to grasp what horrors he had caused. The nightmares came to haunt him and he had to retire being very deadly and at the brink of his career he retired. He had amassed a good fortune at that time what he was willing to spend with his wife trying to have a good, traditional family.
Wang was around 40's when his son joined the army, where he sadly got killed. Things went down, and everything seemed to fall apart with a pace of a tornado. Family broke, spouse of Wang died of grief. Son of Wang was the first and last born in the family it was an huge curse that they did not get anymore children and that their only son had to die. It left great marks on the present Wang. Wang soon learned that all sorrows can be drowned when a bottle is nearby.
Around 50's Wang took whatever brains he had left and went on a kind of a pilgrimage a pilgrimage of one of a kind. He went to learn cultures and to exchange thoughts with great minds and to do some philosophizing. He wanted to see, what is out there... what liefs is there, or what is life? Is life what life should be or is life something a life only can be... the nights became longer and the chains of thoughts became ever so longer. When all seemed to fall apart and there was no room for free thoughts to be delivered a bottle helped out.
10 years spent Wang trying to find something, and did he succeed? Yes, he found in vino veritas. He returned to home to the fire nation trying to get a grip of himself, what he so sadly didn't manage. Life went on and so it does today, in a local tavern he is known as a kind patron who is eager to share his story after the 10th round with anyone who moves or is willing to listen.
