If I had it my way, I would of been born normal and allowed to live my life as a simple potter.
Safar is very wise due to his connection to past lives, he is a peaceful man and will always try to talk things out. However if he knows there is no other way he is not afraid to carry out his duty. He focuses on balance, trying to help the world for the better. His emotions reflects on the elements he controls, he is strong and durable like Earth, he is a free as air, he is as passionate as fire, and is as adaptive as water.
Safar carries a long staff that he uses for his bending, he usually wears monk-ish robes.
Safar was born of a Tibetan father and Indian mother, from birth they knew he was the Avatar and things were peaceful as he mastered the elements and lived in his village in Tibet. As humans started leading genocide on anything different, he was forced to flee when his village was attacked. He has traveled the world and is coming to the reservation hoping to stay somewhere where he and people 'like' him are safe.
