Jamyang is a character in Avatar: Age of Kyoshi. He is an airbender from the Southern Air Temple studying at Ba Sing Se University.

The character is played by Kassilon.

Appearance[]

A young Air Nomad monk, Jamyang is dressed in the orange-and-yellow robes of his people. His most prominent feature to the people of Ba Sing Se is his shaven head and prominent blue arrow tattoos on his head and hands.

History[]

Jamyang's upbringing is typical of his people: he was left at the Southern Air Temple by nomadic parents, and communally raised by the monks. While young, he and other boys his age travelled to the Eastern Air Temple after the spring had yielded newborn sky bison to bond with young Air Nomads. When the mother bison arrived, the other boys rushed to claim the bison before he could find one. After a minute of doubt, he discovered the most timid calf in the litter, who he bonded with, and named her Norbu.

A more conventional nomad, Jamyang earned his tattoos aged 17 after precisely and accurately performing the 32 tiers of airbending to the Southern Air Temple's elders. Afterward, he began to travel the world as a nomad upon Norbu. He raced from Whaletail Island to Yokoya, spent a summer on Ember Island, and a winter at the Northern Water Tribe. At the end of his first year travelling alone, he reached Ba Sing Se. The way of life in the Earth Kingdom capital was so different to his own, and yet, this was what intrigued Jamyang the most. Always having had a thirst for knowledge, he spent days studying the tomes and scrolls in Ba Sing Se university's library. He matriculated as a student using the funds he had saved up from some odd jobs in his first year, though continues to pay his tuition by waiting tables at a nearby teashop, so he can afford room and board, as well as space in a stable to park his sky bison for the night. He is now in his third year of study, and has written numerous essays on Earth Kingdom philosophy and literature to add to the Air Temples' libraries.

Personality[]

Jamyang is light-hearted and kind, though he can take a while to warm up to others. He possesses an intellectual rigor when it comes to his interests, although can easily get distracted when bored, often found daydreaming.
