Backstory (Optional): Kavi has never known his parents, as he was for some reason abandoned on the outskirts of one of the spirit swamps that loiter the city, and was thankfully taken in by the spirts living there. It was here that he grew up, surrounded by a form of nature and with many odd friends, though he couldn't help but grow curious of the outside world. He eventually began to take on excursions into the city, finding himself fascinated with the technologic wonders it housed, even f he had no idea how they worked half the time. However, for every wonder he discovered, a horror lay just beyond the corner, as he was introduced to the poverty and criminal element very early on in his endeavors.

By the age of 13, he had been impressed into one of the numerous gangs as a pickpocket, as well as one of their benders, as his ability to firebend was immediately made apparent. They trained him on how to use, so as to get more use out of him, but he was always hesitant to do so, as he hated cause others pain and by extension, hated his bending because it seemed to do nothing but that, which caused him to weaken in it's use. However, one day, the gang had him try and pick pocket and elderly air nomad passing down the street, only for him to be quite literally swept off his feet in the attempt. The members who had been standing by were quick to interfere, but they were quickly overwhelmed and scared off as the airbender flowed around their attacks with easy and struck back with powerful, but controlled blast of air. 

Kavi, awed by his skill and power, immediately begged him to train him in how to do what he did. The old airbender, after listening to the boy's story, decided to give it a shot. While the boy might not be able to airbend, he felt that Kavi would have much to benefit spiritually from learning the ways of the air nomads. And so he left with the air nomad to one of the air temples, training the boy in their ancient ways. It was difficult at first, for many reasons, but as time went on, he quickly acclimated to the Air Nomad way of life. He even took some airbending training as far as how they move, becoming much more agile and evasive with his ability. But more than that, he found an acceptance of his bending style, as his teacher taught him how everything in the world could be used for evil, and fire was not just destruction. The airbending master had no knowledge on how to firebend, of course, and recomeneded that his young people find himself a teacher, but the boy instead focused on mixing the firebending techniques he learned while apart of the gang with those of the air nomads, forming a more mobile and evasion based form of fire bending form all his own, and though his fighting skills aren't great, it generally surprises people enough to see a firebender move like an airbender that he can get away from most fights easily enough.

Now a days, Kavi is at a bit of a crossroads, unsure of how he wants to live his life. While he finds the Air Nomad life agreeable, he not sure if he wants to devote himself to it entirely yet, as he doesn't like the idea of completely separating himself from the world. He feels too much of a connection with it, in both his friends in the spirit swamps that he still goes to see every so often and in all of the wonder it has to offer. He's very conflicted on this choice, as he knows that whatever he chooses will define his life from then onward. Not to mention that he still has gang troubles, as members of the gang come around and try to force him back in . . . or worse.

Items/weapons on person:
A pair of roller skates that he had made for him by a friend, he can use his fire bending to propel him forward on them, making him very fast and maneuverable both in and out of combat. The rolller wheels can be attached and detached rather quickly, so if he's given sometime to breathe in a fight, he can change up battle styles on the fly.

Carries a modified version of an Airbender's staff, with the flaps that come out the sides being used to make it into more of a hoverboard, expanding the size and helping to channel the flames. It's made of a special metal that isn't very conductive, so as to help control the heat and keep from burning himself. Also makes for decent improvised cover from other bending techniques in mid-battle, though it can only take so much punishment, so it's best used in a fight against other fire-benders.

Physical Attributes and Abilities:
Firebending(III): He's a decently powerful firebender on his own, and that only becomes more apparent as he adds his own unique spin on it. He focuses on low heat, non-lethal uses, having gained enough control to use heat-based shockwaves to knock his opponents around, though he'll go to straight fire if sufficiently cornered.
Air Nomad Fighting style(II): His training at the temple make him very agile and evasive, and while he'll never be as skilled as an actually airbender, he's still very slippery, especially when using his 
Spiritual Meditation and Breathing(I): Another thing that has helped his firebending as well as his general temperament is his meditation ability. His control over his breathing helps control the intensity of his flames, and since it takes more to anger him, he can keep that more consistently.
