Monk Yong Ten is a major character in the fanon Avatar: The Legacy of Rong Yan. Yong Ten is friends with Avatar Rong Yan, and also a friend of Rong Yan's past life, Avatar Ku Tei. Yong Ten is also Rong Yan's airbending teacher.
History[]
Born to unknown parents, like every Air Nomad, he was named Yong Ten by his mother, and the baby was sent off to the Southern Air Temple. At the age of five, he was given an apple and he offered it a baby sky bison, the bison gladly accepted the apple and became his friend. He named the sky bison Jippo.
Trained by high monk by the name of Tzu. Yong Ten was training and reached the 34th level of Airbending training, he invented a move where he would twirl his hands in a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion and make small twisters and punch them at his opponents, when it impacts with them they spin so fast, it makes them dizzy giving the airbender a large advantage. That earned him his tattoos.
Teaching the Avatar[]
Yong Ten despite being an airbending master was an irresponsible, and impatient master with no priorties. Hegumen Jinpa assigned Yong Ten to teach Ku Tei airbending, to the dismay and disagreement of Prior Kama.
Yong Ten was impatient because it took six months for Ku Tei to conjure air, and irresponsible and no priorties because there were times where he didn't show up to train the Avatar. This took five years of the Avatar's life to master airbending.
Eventually, when he got older he helped Rong Yan master airbending in 658 through 657 BG. No longer held back by his flaws of when he was younger.
Thirty Year War[]
While he wasn't involved in the war he helped Ku Tei travel around the world to world leader summits in the Baiyan Air Temple. And to the Water Tribes when needed in possibility. Soon after the war he served no other purpose to the Avatar but spent most of his time training younger airbenders in the first several tiers of airbending.
Later in his life, he was appointed to be Ku Tei's sucessor's airbending master.
Current Life[]
Currently, he helped Rong Yan master airbending in under a year and spends the final years of his life training more young airbenders before retiring from his work at 145. He spent his last five years of life meditating and being retired from teaching.
