The Black Lightning of the Fire Nation.
Fudo is nice to any Fire Nation citizens, but seems cold to others at first. After he gets the chance to get to know them he is just as kind as to another Fire Nation citizen. Over all Fudo is a kind guy that will protect what he thinks needs to be safe.

Fudo was born to a kind family, although the father was off at war at the time. Sadly Fudo's dad died before he could see he newly born son. There were no signs of bending within his two older brothers, but Fudo had amazing skill. When he turned six he already had very good control over making small flares from nothing and controlling decent sized pre-made fires. A short time later Fudo began to enter the spirit world and speak with Avatar Roku, quickly becoming great friends. When he was ten he had great fire bending and wanted to join the Fire Nation military. Fudo's mother wanted him to wait until his thirteenth birthday and reconsider. When Fudo's thirteenth birthday came around he had no change in his mind and went off to join. They let him in after a short test which he passed with flaming colors. (Sorry I know bad pun, but I couldn't resist.) As a way to congradulate him Avatar Roku taght Fudo Lightning bending, which for some reason turned to black lightning. It didn't take long for Fudo to advance in the ranks of the Fire Nation military. By the time he was seventeen he was already a Commander, though he was spoke poorly of when not around. Fudo later heard of this at eighteen and challenged the four people to an Agnikai (spell?). Even with their mergar experience in fire bending Fudo gave no mercy, saying that doing so would prevent any further disrespect. This was soon proven true and the four he challenged appoligized without getting hurt too bad. Each of them had burns on their arms and legs. Even though they lost so bad they began respecting Fudo for helping out their families with his own money while the four soilders were recovering. Now he is nineteen and many think he will be promoted once again since he always fights along side the soilders.
