History

Grew up in the slums of republic city, with his father and mother, he was happy but always sad because of all the fighting his parents did each night, he was always in his bed his pillow stuffed over his ears in attempt to block them out. When he was eight he found out he was a fire bender by accidently setting fire to the rubbish bin when he heard his parents fight again. He trained himself, as his parents were poor and couldn't afford to hire a tutor for him, he practised in the deserted basketball court down the road, from early morning to late night, training determined but knew that he was just trying to keep away from the yelling. When he was thirteen years old and having returned from training he had entered his house to find his father stabbing his wife in the heart, killing her instantly before slitting his throat staring at Light. His neighbours found Light on his knees his fists gripping his knees as he stared at the dead bodies. After the deed he was sent to an orphanage where he was properly trained by the firebender who ran the orphanage, but the orhpanage also had an extensive library which he was always cooped up in when he wasn't training, he avoided the residents in the orphanage other than the owner. He got a part time job and saved enough money to buy a run down apartment, which he is now looking to buy one
