Shun

Personality
Shun, like element that he bends, tends to go with the flow. He's very laid-back in his demeanor, but can get serious when the time calls for it. He tends not to show much emotion, but he carries a gentle heart inside of him that a few have been chosen to see. In his younger years, Shun was very reckless and preferred the "Shoot first, Ask questions later" tactic, due to his years living in the Fire Nation with most fire-benders. As he got older, after living with his mother at the Air Temple, his whole attitude changed.He prefers to think before acting, using his head more than using his fists.

History
Born to the odd couple of a fire-bender and an air-bender, Shun was a bit of an odd child. His parents met by chance when Ryos, his father, visited Republic City. He met Ur, his mother, while visiting the Memorial Island, paying his respects. They didn't seem like the two people to hit off, but fate had other plans. He was very persuasive when he asked her to come back with him to the Fire Nation, where they inevidantly fell in love. Time went by, they had a son, Shun. Luckily, right after their divorce.

Living with his father, Shun had it rough in the Fire Nation. He already felt out of place when he and his father found out, when he was 6 developed Air-bending, rather than Fire-bending. His father didn't seem to care that much, but Shun felt out of place. He wasn't good at making friends either, even in his teen years, always getting into fights with the other kids. It was then that Ryos noticed Shun had a problem, and he had just the idea to solve it.

When Shun turned 16, Ryos decided it was time for him to get away from the Fire Nation and spend time with his mother at the Air Temple Island in Republic City, hoping for him to find the "peace of mind" that he needs. However, he was sending him alone, as their were many...issues remaining after the divorce. Shun didn't argue. He said his goodbyes and boarded the ferry that would take him to Republic City. Once arrived, he was greeted by his mother, Ur, with open arms. It had been so long since they've seen each other, they talked the whole way towards the Air Temple. Living with Ur, he whole being changed, mind, body, bending. Now, he simply goes with the flow.
