History

Kirito was born in the United Republic of Nations city, Yu Dao, to a Firebender woman named Ji-Tao and an Earthbender man named Gaien. The two met as Gaien was shopping, and got attacked by a store-owner. Ji-Tao was, at the time, a police officer. She stopped the fight and, well, she arrested him after she found he had stolen something. Gaien complied to his sentence, which was just some time in jail. Like a day. Once he was let out, the first thing he did was ask her out on a date. Ji-Tao accepted this date, though she was a little unsure about the man. He took her to a mover, and dinner. He was a gentleman. At the end of the night, she enjoyed his company.

The two had gotten married a year and a half later. They had a daughter first; A firebender girl they’d decided to name Akina. They had planned Akina. She ended up being the favorite. Kirito was born two years later, and was a complete surprise. Not to say they didn’t love Kirito. They did! They loved him tremendously! Maybe even a bit more than Akina sometimes. The older sister constantly got jealous as the two grew up, and even burnt Kirito once or twice, especially when she first got her powers at the age of four. It was around four years later when Kirito would harness his bending abilities, when Akina was eight and he was five, when his mother informed them of some very disturbing news; Their father wouldn’t be returning home. Their mother wouldn’t bullshit them, though. She told them everything she could; Bad men got him because their father was, himself a bad man.

Kirito and Akina were distraught to say the least. He would be freaking out and eventually, would run outside in their backyard with tears running down his face, and sit down, holding his ears and ignoring his mother. He wouldn’t hear the scratch of an earth shelter form around him.

It took a few years for the kids to get over it. Kirito and Akina had promised their mother they’d never turn out like him. In fact, she said if need be, if there was any trouble, especially the kind she couldn’t take care of, that they’d leave Yu Dao. they’d take the two tickets she’d bought for herself and Gaien before Akina was born, and they’d leave.

They promised that to their mother that night. Their mother had then gotten them  respective trainers, as she was herself, unable to train Akina, and Gaien was dead, giving Kirito no trainer as well. They’d prove to need that trainer when Kirito turned fourteen. Akina had broken her promise and gotten involved with the triad, in a completely bad way. Kirito had noticed her difference. She was going out more, not sleeping as much and she just seemed… Unusual. He had followed her one night, learning quickly that it was a drug problem; She’d gotten into Cactus Juice.

Unfortunately, one of the guys had seen him. Akina bailed him out, and when they thought they managed to get away from them, Kirito smelled smoke. He and Akina started freaking out. Their mother was sleeping, she wouldn’t have sensed anything. Akina told Kirito to get outside, and he did, while she got their mother. He had come outside, though, to see a few men waiting for him. Distraught and angry, he lashed out on them, spiking almost all of the assailants through their stomach. Almost. He kept one alive.

Unable to save her because of him, he snapped. Tortured him slowly to death as his family died.

That night, he left his hometown, in tears and in pain, for Republic City, just as he’d promised his mother.

Raised to believe certain things are right, and always following the rules. It was never a question of “What if”. It was always “I should.” So, he always did what felt right to him. He truly believed what he thought was right, too, and figured anything else was just… A completely inhuman action. It pissed him off whenever he’d see a man hurting another. It’d irk him. So much that he   <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">would <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> get involved. He <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">would <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> fight back against an assailant. He <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">would <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> kill him, if need be. Because it’d be what is right.

He’s friendly. He’s a little bit shy, and he is a complete gentleman. He’s also quiet, and distant. Sometimes cold. He’s very street smart, as well as a bit booksmart. He tends to be alone. If he isn’t, it’s just awkward for him.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Some would say he had an obsession with things being in order. His apartment is spotless all the time, as is he. Some would also say he has post-traumatic stress disorder due to his past. He refuses to go to a therapist for it, since he finds the notion completely ridiculous. <ac_metadata title="Kirito"> </ac_metadata>
