== History ==
Quin Yu is well known in the operas of the Earth Kingdom. He has played for Earth Queen Hou-Ting, for Fire Nation nobility, and for Water Tribe leadership, even performing for the Avatar one time.Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. Movers & Shakers, 2023, p. 39.
Despite his fame and successful career, Quin Yu squandered all the yuan that he earned, putting himself deep into debt. This led him to accept a role in Varrimovers International's new production, Sengo: Lady of the Winds, where he was cast as the mover's villain, Imperator Kuvai.Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. Movers & Shakers, 2023, p. 37. Considering himself a real artist, Quin Yu considered the mover production to be trashy and beneath him.
Although Quin Yu was given a more-than-fair paycheck from the studio's leading executive, Hongmei, he found himself in need of yet more funds to support his lavish lifestyle. He secured more money for himself by selling updates on the production to the Creeping Crystal Triad's lieutenant, Amrita, who wanted a cut of the mover's profits. However, Quin Yu justified this by telling himself that he was doing this mostly in honor of art, to punish the abominable production and the entire mover industry. While he understood that Amrita was a member of a triad, he liked to think that it was just communicating with the equivalent of a gossipy news outlet. Amrita ending up having a strong hold on him from the cash he was getting from her.
The studio's new security team, Erdene, Qacha, Thi, Meeka, and Dae arrived on set as Quin Yu was filming a particularly intense scene with Sengo's actress, Xue. As Sengo confronted Kuvai in the scene, Quin Yu played the antagonist with operatic bombast, as controlled tubing shot flames from his ankles as a harness held him aloft. But as the cameras were rolling, everything started to shake, as Quin Yu's suspension harness tossed him about and the nozzles sprayed flame everywhere, causing saber-tooth moose lion animal actor, Sweetie, to run from the flames and toss Xue in the air. Quin Yu was enraged at the "shoddy workmanship" and "lack of professionalism", and stormed off the set to his rooms at the nearby hotel, the Sleeping Sloth-Mouse.Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game.
