From a young age he was taught how to create weapons using his fire bending skills. By the time he was ten he had made his very own Weapon of black steel he called the Black Star Blade. While he was still young his father told him of the amazing adventures he went on as a kid, but by far his favorite was when his father met the Avatar. Seth admired the Avatar and their efforts to keep the peace. However, as Seth grew he slowly lost interest in black smiting and more into Pro-bending. He would listen to every match on the radio and always said he would be a great Pro-bending champion. For his fifteenth birth day his parents took his to Republic City to watch a match live. Seth was enthralled at the match because for years he had envisioned what a match would look like, but he never imagined a match to be like this. Seth began to train when he got back home to join the ranks of the Pro-bending players. It was a long road but as he perfected his skills he finally felt comfortable in his skills to try out in Republic City. He left home when he was nineteen to join a Pro-bending team. It was much harder than it seemed because he didn’t immodestly get into Pro-bending but first got a job as a dishwasher at a café. However, every night he would scour the city for flyers or other indications that someone was looking for a Fire Bender for their Pro-Bending. It took him 6 months but he finally found a team looking for Fire Bender try outs. He immediately went to where the try outs where held and watched as the other fire benders had their turn. Seth was sacred at the fact that many of the Fire benders where good and he wouldn’t be able to become a Pro-Bender player. When Seth’s name was called he went into the try outs and preformed with all his heart. By the end of the try outs he and the rest of them were told they would make their decision by the end of the week and asked for contact information. Seth gave it to them and walked out feeling lest then stellar. He couldn’t tell if they were impressed with him or found him lack luster and pathetic. A week later the two Pro Bending players he tried out in front of came by his work, but he felt they were only there to eat. Since trying out he was pushed up to waiter and while he helped other guests one of the waitress told Seth the two wanted to speak to him. His heart leapt into his throat when he heard this and proceeded to their table. The two introduced themselves: the earth bender was named Sotoe Grey and his water bender partner was Tulu Frost. They asked Seth if he had some time to talk to which Seth was able to get time from his boss. The two talked about his try out and what things they liked and what things he could improve on. By the end of the conversation Sotoe congratulated Seth on joining their Pro-Bending team called Firefly. Seth wanted to leap up and down and hug the two, but he kept his composure and thanked the two. When the two left and he went back into the kitchen he celebrated like a child who got the toy they wanted for their birthday. The next day Seth met the two at the training grounds where they helped Seth improve on the skills he needed to while also perfecting the skills they had commemorated him for. By the time three months had passed Seth was waiting with Sotoe and Tulu. He was nervous for his first Pro-Bending match but Sotoe reassured him that he was nervous for his first match as well, but his team helped him through it. That’s what Sotoe and Tulu did as the match began. It started out slow and Seth made a few mistakes, but as the match progressed. Seth got into a grove and with the help of Sotoe and Tulu they won the match. The post-match party in Seth’s mind was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was on the road to becoming a Pro-Bender player and he knew once Firefly became famous he could bring his parents to Republic City and give them a home to live in so he wasn’t so far away. The next two years went by so quickly Seth felt it was like he blinked and time had speed up. Firefly was doing great, they had won matches but also lost some but the ladder leaned more towards the winning side since they were 15-5. Seth was at the height of his life. He was a Pro-Bender player, his mother and father came to one of his matches which they lost, but he didn’t care since he got to see his parents. He was even asked to be Sotoe’s best man when he asked Tulu to marry him. He felt like he found the rails to the rest of his life, but that came to a crashing halt when news broke that the Avatar was killed. It was a blow to everyone’s mood and soon it became apparent that everything was going to change. Seth wanted to stay in Republic City and continue his Pro-Bending career, but he knew the leader of the fire nation would want to mobilize a unit should the peace be threatened. Sotoe and Tulu understood Seth and told him to go back to the Fire nation to help with the peace efforts. When asked about his replacement. Sotoe and Tulu informed him they were having a child and would retire from Pro-bending. Seth wished them the best of luck and caught the next boat to the Fire nation. Once he returned to the fire nation, his first stop was his parents’ house. He informed them of what he was doing and his father presented him with Seth’s very first weapon, The Black Star Blade. Seth said his goodbyes to his parents and left for the military camp. He wasn’t sure he’d need to worry since the next avatar would show up soon, but something in his gut told him otherwise. Through the years, Seth trained at the military camp and improved his Fire bending skills for more combat then Pro-bending matches. However, he found that his skills in Pro-Bending made him more agile and faster at seeing potential threats. He was never one to be a leader so instead he followed every general’s order and trained until he could no longer move at times It’s been twenty-one years since the Avatars death and Seth now finds himself among the youth of the Fire nation. He was never one to be a leader, but now he finds himself as a lieutenant under one of the generals in the Fire Nation. Their mission is to help the White lotus keep the Red lotus at bay.
