GENERAL:
✯ kasai
✯ sai, kai, zuko 2.0
✯ 17 years old
✯ 223 AG
✯ male
✯ he, him, his
✯ fire nation
✯ firebender
KEY EVENTS IN HISTORY:
✯ born in the year 223 AG in the fire nation capital, also known as capital city; has no idea who his parents were since he was dropped off at an orphanage when he was only an infant (what really happened was that his parents were killed during the collection since they resisted being captured; a resistance group found the baby not long after the attack and dropped it off at an orphanage to keep it safe)
✯ discovered his bending abilities when he was five years old and he would practice a little in secret; he kept his abilities hidden from everyone in the orphanage in fear that they would sell him out to the purists like they did when one of his friends discovered that he was an airbender
✯ at the age of fifteen, he left the orphanage and travelled to republic city; he kind of got involved with a gang in order to make money by doing various jobs for them; he was also notorious for pickpocketing
APPEARANCE:
✯ BODY | TYPE | HEALTH: 100%
with the half white half reddish brown hair, the large birth mark around his left eye, and his heterochromia, kasai certainly sticks out among the crowd. he stands at exactly six feet, which is slightly above average for a boy his age. he has a lean muscular physique due to his active lifestyle, which primarily consists of running away from authority when he is caught stealing or secretly practicing his firebending. his hair is kept short, only letting it fall just past his almond-shaped eyes. again, he possesses heterochromia, meaning he has multicolored eyes. his right eye is a dark grey, a trait, although rare, that can be found among the fire nation population. his left eye on the other hand is a bright blue, possibly indicating a connection with the water tribes though he does not know from what side of the family that came from. he usually wears a combination of blues, reds, and black, not really caring about representing his nation. it also allows him to blend more easily with the diverse republic city population.
—— body modifications: kasai's current hair color is obviously not his natural color. as a child, he only had reddish brown hair. it wasn't until he got to republic city that he began dying half of it white.
—— disabilities: n/a
✯ ACCESSORIES: n/a
✯ AESTHETICS:
PERSONALITY:
kasai is an intp, which means he is well known for his brilliant theories and unrelenting logic. intps are arguably the most logical minded of all the personality types. He loves patterns, has a keen eye for picking up on discrepancies, and a good ability to read people, making it a bad idea to lie to or to try to deceive him. nothing annoys him more than catching someone lying. he will literally roll his eyes and call you out for it. he isn't interested in practical, day-to-day activities and maintenance. he gets easily bored and cannot stand doing the same thing over and over, making him a little challenging to train. he is the type of person who would want to learn the next and more advanced move despite not fully mastering the last one. in other words, he can be rather impatient.
he is quite creative and thrives in environments where his creative genius and potential can be expressed. he is always focusing on the future instead of the present and always trusts his gut instincts. his decisions are based on logic rather than emotions (ruled by the head, not the heart), making him more concerned with facts than protecting people's feelings. however, he is not 100% heartless. he still cares and will listen to you even though he is not really well-equipped to meet the emotional needs of others.
he is introverted, meaning he is quiet and reserved. socializing drains his energy and he needs some alone time to recharge. sometimes he comes across as distant but that is mainly because he needs his time to recharge and reflect on his thoughts. he definitely does not want to be in charge of leading people and his very shy upon meeting new people. but once he gets to know them and becomes more comfortable around them he becomes more self-confident and gregarious. he is very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of his firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case he may take a very rigid stance.
—— significant traits: impatient, innovative/creative, intelligent, intuitive, observant, reticent, introverted, logical-minded, independent, laid-back (for the most part), skeptic, shy, emotionally awkward

✯ info on current skills
Blocking fire: A skilled firebender can defuse and extinguish an oncoming fire blast from another firebender by using a swift kick, jab, or any other defensive maneuver, allowing them to stop attacks.
Fire daggers: Blowtorch-like jets which are created from the fist or fingertips to use as close range melee attacks. However, they lack the ability to actually block physical objects.
Fire streams: A basic firebending ability, firebenders can shoot continuous streams of fire from their fingertips, fists, palms, or legs. These streams can be widened to create flame-thrower like techniques.
Fireballs or "Fire-jabs": Another basic ability, jabs and punches produce miniature fireballs and missiles of flame. These can be charged up (refer to "charged attacks" entry) to create larger, slower bursts, or swiftly and repetitively fired to keep opponents off balance.
Flame redirection: In a similar fashion to waterbending, firebenders are capable of changing the course of an incoming fire blast and redirecting it back at the attacker using fluid motion. This move exemplifies the use of firebending as an extension of the body and is used infrequently in modern combat in favor of more offensive maneuvers.
Shield of fire: This technique creates a protective shield of fire in front of, or around, a firebender that can deflect attacks and explosions.
✯ info on skills they will eventually learn
Blazing rings and arcs: Spinning kicks or sweeping arm movements create rings and arcs to slice larger, more widely spaced, or evasive targets.
Fire blade: A more advanced version of a blazing arc. By narrowing and condensing their flame projections, firebenders can create thin blades of fire to slice through objects without completely destroying them.
Fire bomb: Used as a short-range attack, a firebender can create a flame at the end of a limb and thrust the flame down in an explosive burst.
Fire lashes: An even further extension of the fire whip/stream, firebenders can create a long lash of fire and bring it down on their enemies
Fire whip: An extension of a fire stream, this continuous stream of flame has a semi-tactile quality and can be utilized as a whip.
Charged attacks: Certain firebenders have been shown charging their attacks before releasing them, allowing them to create enormous blasts of fire.
Fire augmentation: Firebenders can also control the size and intensity of any nearby flames and can draw them in to manipulate them at will.
Fire comet: An advanced form of the fire stream in which the user pressurizes the fire into a ball and shoots it toward the enemy.
Fire missiles: A more advanced form of the fire stream, powerful firebenders can shoot long streams of fire that follow the target as they move.
Fire pinwheel: A whirling disk of flame, capable of being used at long range.
Intertwined fire stream: An advanced move based on the basic fire stream. The performer directs two powerful fire streams at their opponent, though by intertwining the two streams, a massive, comet-shaped fire stream is formed that has more power than the single stream.
Jet propulsion: Skilled firebending masters are able to conjure huge amounts of flame to propel themselves at high speeds on the ground or through the air.
Pressurized fire stream: A more powerful form of the fire stream, achieved by pressurizing the fire before it is released. It covers more area than a regular fire stream.
Wall of flames: One of firebending's few defensive techniques, either a situated explosion or controlled inferno, this wall of concentrated flames acts as a barrier to incoming attacks. It may be a more powerful version of a fire shield. It not only protects against attacks, but when used right, can be used to stealthily escape from foes.
Breath of fire: The breath of fire involves the user firebending out of his or her mouth, mixing air from the lungs with the flame, creating a wider, hotter blast.
Heat control: Certain advanced firebenders appear to have the ability to control heat. Using this technique, firebenders can heat a wide range of liquids, like water or tea, heat metal to scalding temperatures, or melt ice.
Lightning generation: Lightning generation is the ability to generate and direct lightning. It requires peace of mind and a complete absence of emotion.
Lightning redirection: After observing the redirecting techniques of waterbending, Iroh developed a technique to redirect the course of lightning strikes by absorbing it through one arm, guiding it through the stomach, and out the other arm.
FUTURE PLOTS:
✯ finds out what happens to his parents and kind of breaks down in front of the group for the first time
✯ accidentally hurts one of the members of the group while figuring out how to lightning bend, prompting him not to want to use it again, but eventually he does when the proper situation called for it
✯ this is more of a quirk of his than a plot idea but he has a hard time trying to stop the habit of pickpocketing others since he has such a long history of it, so whenever he accidentally brushes by one of the group members they know to immediately turn around and be like "give it back"; he also knows how to make a funny zuko impression
