History: Akira was an twelve-year-old  circus acrobat, the youngest of a family act called The Flying Ravens of The Haly Circus. While on tour in fire nation capital, he overheard "Boss"  Zuko, a well-known and feared crime-lord, threaten the performers unless the circus's owner paid extortion money. The owner refused, and on that night Akira watched in horror as his parents' high wire snapped, sending his parents hurtling to their deaths, all while many of fire nation's elite watched on. Young Akira felt responsible, because he didn't warn his parents in time. Akira however couldn't catch a break,he was soon placed in an uncaring juvenile detention center because social services was full. There he was unmercifully beaten by a group of inmates. Because of this he was sent to a rundown orphanedge where he was then beaten unmercily by the older boys at the orphange because he was a non-bender.

Three years later on his 15th birthday a man asked Akira if he wanted to leave the orhanage and without a moments hesitation he said yes.Later that evening Akira traveled with the man to location of his circus tent and from there his new life began as a perfesional circus actor.After liveing in the circus for a year Akira's life looked like it was becoming brighter, he had a girlfriend,money,a place to sleep that didn't feel like rocks,food and fans who adored him, but all was not to end well.One Night while he was on a date with his girlfriend Akane in the one of the many cites the circus toured he and akane were ambushed by some thugs and while he was able to fend them off for awhile his efforts proved futile as he was stabed and left to die as the thugs took not only his money but took Akane as well planning to sell her for an extra profit. As he lay lying there bleeding all he could think about was how weak he was, that if he was stronger Akane would have never been kidnapped and he wouldn't be lying here dying.

It wasn't until 3 minites later that he was found by a passer by half-dead from all the blood loss and was taken to an infirmary were he was nursed back to health for a month.After he made a full recovery he returned to the circus going back to his same routine with a little added extra. Every night instead of going to sleep he would train both his mind and body near their breaking point aiming to reach his peak phsical contition even after performances he would still train wanting to become stronger so that the events of one month ago would never happen again.when a year passed the circus had moved to Republic city and it was around that time that he felt he was ready donning a mask of his own making he began his double life of a circus performer and a vigilante.
