History
Karuza was born and raised by his two parents(both non-benders) in the northern Fire Nation. His parents were amongst the higher class citizens of the fire nation,being extremely wealthy,dabilling in invetion and buisiness endevors along with being the most prominent people in the weapons making industry. From a very young age,Karuza was a miscevious child,being labeled a trouble maker compared to the many well mannered and shallow children among his mists. He never seemed to quite fit in with the crowd and was always secluded from his peers. He was often called a "waste of genius blood" by his teachers and other around him and that he was not worthy of being born into his prestigious family.It didnt help that he hadnt seemingly inherited his parents genius,being a horrible student and having reading along with writing problems.Unlike his older brother,Hanata,who was naturally gifted in everything he did including his studies;which caused him to always be compared to his brother. This caused young Karuza to lash out and get vengence on those who were mean to him by the power of pranks. By the age of Karuza,had been successfully named the menace of his town.Hated by most,and loved by only some which were mainly his parents. They are the only ones who saw him for the compassionate and caring boy he was instead of a no good slacker like his older brother and everyone else did.Karuza loved his parents dearly,being especially close to his mother who made him feel like he was actually meant to be who he was. It didnt last long though,the day of his 9th birthday Karuza had found out that he was a firebender,but it had came with a deathy cost. The same night he had found out that he was a bender,his house caught on fire,burning down the hole building. Karuza and Hananta barely made it out alive,which could not be said for the parents as they were caught under a flaming beam and then burned to death in front of their childrens eyes. Eventually reinforcements came in,and people began to question just how the fire erupted in the first place. It was then revealed by Hanata that his younger brother was the culprit and that he had caught Karuza firebending in his bed room,calling him a "freak of nature",which lead to the younger brother lashing out at Hanata and caused the fire. It didnt take much for the town to turn on him and the people even wanted to have the young boy imprisoned for his actions. Scared for what might happen next,Karuza made a hasty escape,running away from his home to never return. The next few years had been hard on Karuza,as he had to fend for himself on the streets of the poorer side of the nation,hoping that his persecuers would settle down the search for him. In that time peroid Karuza had vowed to himself never to firebend again for the rest of his life,which would be eventually broken when he turned 12 years old and had been cornered by bandits whom of which he had stolen money from. After this,Karuza himself began to expirement with his bending and found himself quickly getting more proficient on his own.Although he hadnt inherited his parent intellectual genius,he had become a prodigy in the ways of bending and fighting even teaching himself most of what he knows.From then on he had trained his body and mind so he could become a more well rounded fighter,gathering knowledge from every source he could including books and other people.Although due to his homeless condition he was still considered inexperienced due to him never having any formal training.Karuza had become a master of improvisation,adapting to his current situation and "winging" it without a hard strategy.During these escapades to learn more about being a bender,he had stumbled apon some of his families history,which to his suprise had some suprising information.It had turned out that his grandfather on his mothers side and his grandmother on his fathers side were both famous firebenders,who died in at a young age about 10 to 14 years before he was born;which caused him to remember that both his parents had always said that he reminded them of one of their parents. By the age of 15,Karuza had mastered adaptability,and had thought that something good had came out of his firebending.Thinking the past was behind him,he even once began to pack his bags and set out to go back home,but he was stopped dead in his tracks halfway there. He saw old wanted posters with his face on it which made him rethink going back,but decided it would be for the best if he went anyway. When he got into town almost no one recognized him(although he recognized most of them there) due to his appearance change during the years he had been gone.Not even his older brother,who he immediately went to and asked for forgiveness.Hanata,rich and plentiful from his inherited money,was disgusted by his brother and even called his guard and the local police to capture his brother. Karuza had narrowly escaped the cluthes of his brother,but things were worse this time around. This time,wanted posters were scattered all around the Fire Nation with his face and name on itHanata even went as far to put a bounty on his head with an incredible amount of money if they kill Karuza. He was extremely scared,he had never felt this way before but he knew what he needed to do. He began devising a plan to escape to Republic City,recently the city had begun the project of bringing in immigrants from other nations to help increase the population that had declined during the Civil War. He contacted some people that he knew that could make it happen,and eventually the plan worked exactly as planned. He wore a red cloak over his head and got on the boat while one of his friends drew attention to themselves.When the boat had arrived,he couldnt beileve that he had actually made it. A new beginning awaited him in Republic City. ==Powers and Abilities==
