I was born into this world, as a fire bender. My Grandpa was killed by the avatar in the 100 year war. My dad, was killed by an earth bender while my mom was pregnant. This drastic event left us in the streets. My family was almost no more. Just me and my mom, to survive in the streets of republic city. We barely lived, my mom however met this one man named Amon, and he changed my life, and hers completely.
He offered us money, food and shelter, out of the streets of Republic City. He was a really strange man, but we got along with him. My mom did laundry for him, and became his servant, I didn't do much, I was just four years old at the time. I just helped my mom around Amon's mansion. Amon told me he got his mansion from his friend Sato, and he told me one day he was going to change the world, and I was going to help him. I didn't know really what he meant, but I just went along with it. However, one day changed everything.
I went outside to play with a friend when I was five, and some police satomobiles passed over to Amon's mansion. Scared about my mom, I started running the long 3 blocks back, which seemed like hours. After roughly 10 minutes, I was there, to see the mansion burnt down, and my mom, nowhere to be seen.
Amon took me to a place very far away, I was scared, lonely, and frightened. He told me, my mom started a fire with her firebending and killed herself in the house fire. And things were going to change.
Around 2 weeks later, I found a newspaper article in the trash in Amon's house. The words 'AVATAR FOUND' were labeled on the newspaper. Amon saw me looking at this, and started beating me, screaming at me through his mask. He called me a 'Fire-asshole' and 'world destroyer.' Next thing I remembered, he put his hand on my face, and this sudden surge went through my body. Scars formed on my chest, fine symbols underneath my belly-button. I heard words of 'Sorry lord' and 'Forgive me' from Amon. Next thing I knew, I woke up on the streets next to a farm.
I awoke, scared, frightened, and dazed, I could barely walk. I saw a house on the distant farm. I started walking to it, falling and stumbling over everything. Soon, I saw the door to a house. Before I could knock, I fainted. And I thought I was going to die.
I awoke again, laying on the bed, a middle aged man looking at my scars on my chest and stomach. He told me how he found me at his front porch, and how he was going to take great care of me. His words sounded so caring and soft. I knew I was at a proper place. A place I could call home.
Over the next ten years, I learned more about Amon, he showed up in the newspaper twice. People called him 'mysterious' and 'mad.' Jeffery, the person that found me, put me in an engineering school. I learned about the famous Satomobile that was made, and how to use basic engineering skills to my advantage. Soon, we learned about gears, and even how to forge metal into new inventions. At the age of 14, I thought of an idea, of taking a projectile-type bullet and similar gears to 'Shoot' the bullet at amazing speeds. My teacher told me I was crazy, but told me I could do what whatever my heard desired.
At the age of 15, I graduated from engineering school, Jeffery, saved up enough money to get me my own forge. From there, I crafted my own inventions. I made Jeffery a device that can separate the cotton fibers from cotton. Now he didn't need to hire people to do it. Jeffery made a load of money off of it.
When I was 16 was when my idea set sailed. I was able to take a type of powder that fire benders used in the 100 year war and put it into a slim barrel I forged. I put a small, forged projectile into the barrel and used a spark to ignite the powder. Next thing I remember, the projectile fired at amazing speeds, much like a cannon, but caused much greater destruction for its size. I was amazed. I called the invention the 'Gun.'
However, news leaked out to others within our village. People wanted to see the Gun in action, and I became popular really fast. People helped me out, I was soon able to make a revolver type of weapon at the age of 17. The weapon became so deadly though, me and Jeffery had to move to a secret location, because HE attacked.
I thought I would never see him again. He left these scars on my chest, and killed my mom. Him and his so called 'Equalists' came and destroyed everything me and Jeffery had accomplished. He told us that the weapon was too powerful for both benders and mankind to use. If put into the wrong hands, the world would go corrupt. Me and Jeffery were able to get away from Amon, because Jeffery knew minor earth bending skills. In the process though, Amon took his powers. I saw it with my own eyes.
I flashbacked to that day. That day destroyed everything. My minor experience in firebending, and everything else. My conscious told me that I was the first person he took his bending away from. For my Mom, and Jeffery, I vowed to take down Amon. And I won't stop until he is dead.
Over the last 4 years, I made a new forge from scratch. Re-made the blueprints to the weapons, and even made a weapon that you can feed ammunition to. I tested it on bronze. The projectiles passed right through it. Same with iron. Steel however was another story. Jeffery told me of Titanium, an light-weight metal that benders cannot even bend with. He got me a hold of some samples, and I was then able to penetrate the most commonly-used war metal in all of the United Republic of Nations.
I called this invention the STT-18. The Revolver type device I officially named the PTT-16. One year later, I made a portable, fully automatic version of the STT-18. However, the smaller projectiles cannot go through steel because of this, I used lead to make the bullets, and it was a great different.
After my inventions were completed, I needed to learn how to be better in combat. Jeffery used the rest of his money and hired a former metal bender from Republic City. He taught me self defense, how to jump great distances, And even combat water, air, and fire benders. Using these skills and my portable weapons I have created, I could possibly be the strongest being in the United Republic of Nations.
I needed a purpose though. Then, I heard about Amon's war against Republic City, Jeffery told me how he took away the bending powers of multiple people, how terrible of a stance Republic City is in, and most importantly, how they were winning. I came to this conclusion. Technology has advanced, and bending has officially become obsolete.
"Kai, I've received news that the Equalists have taken control of the bending arena. Chief Bei Fong's army couldn't even stand a chance." Jeffrey, now at the age of 42, walk in on alert. He was starting to get some grey hair blending in with his black hair, but his body was still extremely strong. He still towered over everyone standing at 6'3. He easily could give anyone an extremely tough match.
"Thank you Jeffery. I have heard from the radio. I don't want either side to get a hold of these weapons of destruction, but if Amon wins, the world will be in peril. Start packing your bags. We are heading to Republic City in the morning."
