History
Raised in the Fire Nation, Hikaran was born to parents with origins in law. Her father a judge and his mother a detective, he had an upbringing of following the law and justice. They also taught him about how the system can be twisted by corrupt individuals. Much of his education was spent in understanding the legal system and in knowing how to use it for good. Though it was when he turned six that his Firebending came around, it wasn't until his teens that he really start training in combat.

His teen years were then spent in honing his skills in Firebending and in detective work, primarily by his mother, at around thirteen. The pair of them would go about solving minor cases, gradually cementing into more mentally challenging and dangerous territory up until he became an adult and thus permitted to become an official member of the police force.

It was at this time he became appraised of the Avatar's Citizen Project. He spent a year filing the necessary paperwork to transfer to Republic City. He also spent that year to save his money to secure a nice apartment and boat ticket. As a farewell gift, his father gifted him with a family heirloom, a katana belonging to three generations of lawmen in their family. And with that, he set out for Republic City, to make a difference and bring light, as is the meaning of his name.
