Appearance

A tall and muscular man with near shoulder-length light brown hair, that he tends to have it a bit messy, yet his hair is usually hangs straight down. His face can be describe as chiseled and he looks a good few years older than his actual age (appears to be in his mid 20s). His face is sometimes slightly covered with a light, short stubbly beard that he keeps about an quarter-inch length. Jose also tends to wear old fashion jackets, sometimes he even wears a long, dark brown, and tattered cloak on over his jackets. But regardless of what he is wearing as a top, it will always usually be accompanied with dark colored long pants and a leather belt. For footwear,  it will be simple color sneakers or boots, but all his shoes seem to be worn-out to the point that the color is fading. He also wears a simple black dress shirt and has a gold taint chain necklace around his neck. He tends to dress in a simple fashion for the most part, regardless of the season or occasion. During the hot days, he might be spotted in a sleeveless shirt and shorts. 



Personality

A hard working person, who takes his time with tasks and is always trying to do his best, which makes him appear to never having any fun, especially when he is in a fight or training. Jose does this because he wishes to be improve himself. He also never underestimates his oppenent and will usually fight to the best of his ability. He does train himself everyday and always strives to become stronger and stronger, after all he wants to be one of the best bounty hunters in his life time.

Jose also has a soft spot for children, especially if their orphans. He does tend to act indifferent to other people around him unless they are criminals and will not bother to save others unless they are good people, people who can help him, and children. He doesn't like too many things, sadly because he never had a lot, so he tries out many different things when he has a chance to make up for the scarcity he experience for most of his life.

Jose also tends to be humble as well and never takes anything really for granted even though he doesn't do the best job of explaining his feelings to people, regardless; of what he is feeling. He also wishes to one day return to his town and put an end to the gang violence there and rebuild his old town, so children could play in the streets without a care in the world. To Jose removing what he considers the scum of the earth is more important then anything else including himself.

History

Jose was born, yet he wasn't raise by a family since they were killed in gang violence. He was an orphan that had to defend for himself in the dark streets control by criminals. Everyday violent people used to beat him up and pick on him, which eventually caused him to train each and every single day, so he could be strong enough to protect himself. He grew up hating those who pick on people weaker than them, especially criminals. As he got older he started to inspire to be a bounty hunter every since he heard about them. His previous goal was to be strong enough to defend himself, but after looking more into bounty hunters, his goal grew with his knowledge as he wanted to one day become one of the best Bounty hunters in the world. He figures he wants to live his life punishing the type of people who took his family and childhood away from him.

One day at the age of 17 when he was being attack by a group of gang members with weapons they threaten to kill him if he didn't hand over everything he had. Jose told them that he had nothing, yet they continue to attack him. Just before his life was about to be over, Jose snaps and the earth around him shifts enough to get the closes person to Jose off balance enough for Jose to grab a hold of his knife, which Jose used to stab the man in the throat. That was the first day Jose killed someone and used his power.

Since then Jose's body had developed and become much more powerful then an average person. Jose once was tested by someone, who told him that he had a special genetic trait that altered his body to something beyond human limits and for some supernatural reason gave him a power over the earth. The person referred to this special genetic trait as a metagene. Jose then tried his best to learn to control his powers because he believes with his new found talents he could become a bounty hunter.

Jose trained with his new and improve body with his special ability and was able to use it to help him pass his bounty hunter exam 6 months after finding out. Since then he has been trying to get better with his skills as a fighter and as a earthbender.
