Awesome [@Ithradine]. Fire bender suits me fine too.

And, [@vancexentan], I see no problems with your character premise. Flight is something I don't want any characters to start with, but the rest of it seems fine. The more powerful you make your character, the older he has to be. There are always exceptions to this rule, but I don't want any unbalanced characters at the start of the RP.

Also, [@vancexentan], please remember that the Air nomads will not take kindly to wanton destruction or nihilism unless it is tempered with some sort of the spiritual realization that they inculcate. If your character is as you describe, I would imagine he frequently butts heads with the higher monks and benders regarding his style.

Having said that, the Air nomads have become something of an International policing force, albeit with their trademark restraint. This means that many have indeed made the transition from defensive 'cut and run' techniques to more offensive ones.
