He doesn't know why. (-) Rivals stealing away the attention of his most esteemed mentor, Kiri ( HISTORY ❚ It has been three (3) years since the day Ed lost all that he once held dear in a Fire Nation siege on his hometown and the place of his birth. He had been but a mere boy of fourteen (14) when a merciless onslaught was launched to conquer the Sun Warriors Isle as Fire Nation territory, leaving death and destruction in its wake. It was on a terrifying night in these darkened times when Ed was torn away from his Mother and hastily sent to the Western Air Temple, the stronghold of the Western Air Nomad community's defenses. He had been visiting her, worried about the rumors of an impeding attack which turned out to be more than just that. The boy paid dearly for this reckless move by losing both his only living family relative and two of his limbs (his right arm and left leg) then. He would have lost more than just that had a man, one he respects greatly to this day, not sacrificed his own life to save that of the terrified young boy. Since then, there have been constant skirmishes between the Western Air Nomads (along with some reinforcements from the other temples) and the Avatar army although the Avatar has not come close to breaching the Temple's defenses. Ed had been taken in by the sister of the man that saved him that night and it was in this setup that he had resumed his life with a new purpose to live: to be by her side and repay them both for their ultimate act of kindness. OTHER FACTS ❚ With Kiri as his highly esteemed mentor (and motherly/elder sister figure), Ed had improved his airbending tremendously in a span of only a few years, gaining him the reputation of a child prodigy and propelling him to the status of teacher at the Northern Air Temple. The limbs he had lost in the prelude of the ensuing war were replaced by a renowned Earth Kingdom inventor with a prototype prosthetic arm and leg, fashioned from a durable metal. These have served as a great aid in overcoming the boy's disability and contribute greatly to his specialized airbending technique and combat style. ❚ Ed gets his plethora of unique, albeit creatively outlandish, nicknames from a play on words from his full name ( His mentor, the Head Monk Kiri, has even hopped on to the pet name giving bandwagon as she had bestowed upon him the title "fullmetal", not just in reference to his prosthetic limbs made of steel but also to symbolize the boy's stubborn attitude and hardheadedness. Special Abilities (Benders) BENDING ELEMENT : Air SCOPE OF BENDING : A large chunk of Ed's fighting style was borrowed from his mentor. As the case may be, both have a slightly more offensive take on their bending although the boy has had to deal with the impediments of losing two of his limbs to fight with. The creation of his unorthodox techniques have come as more of a necessity to make up for this handicap. Having apprenticed under Kiri, Ed was taught to condition his body through regular workouts and sparring as part of her philosophy, "to train the spirit, first train the body." His slight frame conceals an evenly compact, muscular build which the boy could not have avoided developing considering the need to make up for the weight added by his metal body parts to his total body mass. This, plus his naturally high energy level and endurance, has given the boy the strength to complement an airbender's agility. The disadvantage of Ed's metal parts is his lack of an ability to fly like most airbenders however, due to Kiri's spartan training, he has become a particularly competent hand-to-hand fighter, able to hold his own despite being essentially 'grounded'. He is also unable to channel chi through these limbs as they are not part of his original organic composition and it was thus that the boy has turned to science to even out the scales. ❚ Enhanced Speed & Agility: Airbenders enhance their movement in battle; they can run swiftly by decreasing air resistance around them and even sprint across or run up vertical surfaces by generating a wind current behind themselves to propel them forward. In Ed's case, this ability proves to be the very foundation and a significant pillar of most, if not all, of his combat tactics. To an extent, it could be said that the poor boy had to virtually relearn some of the basics of airbending to successfully be able to continue practicing it. Ed's speed relies heavily on the momentum lent to him by his artificial body parts although it had taken a considerable amount of time for the boy to get used to his body's new center of balance. Any alteration to these measurements can and will throw off his re-established fluidity of movement (again, another trait typical to the Airbenders) for it takes some time to get his calculations (no small feat however it is easily accomplished through Ed's sheer determination and profound levels of focus) of the amount of air resistance needed to keep him upright while running just right. ❚ Air Shields & Barriers: Airbenders can deflect attacks as needed by throwing up gusts of air close to their bodies as a shield. These are just sudden rushes of air lasting at most 30 seconds and are more effectively used to push objects aside and away than to stop them directly. They may be used to defend against projectiles (perhaps no bigger than a man's head) but would be useless against a direct or continuous attack. Evading these by physical movement rather than bending would be necessary. An Air Barrier is just like an air shield, only the entire body is surrounded by a dome of air that deflects attacks from all directions. Ed is less inclined to produce air barriers because of the effort to conjure them with one hand however this does not mean that it is impossible to accomplish. He has discovered that it is much easier to increase these wind movements to a more violent state than to tamper then to act as shields which leads to the next ability, ❚ Enhanced mini-tornado (although Ed would kill anyone who would dare call it that. Must have something to do with the word "mini"): The mark of a prodigy is the ability to turn one's own weaknesses into something that will only make them stronger. Although his technique is far from being refined to the best it could be (it has only been 3 years after all), Ed has been experimenting with using his added weight as an anchor to keep him from being blown away by some of his own attacks. A variation of his mentor's similar move, Ed's mini-tornado utilizes an increased wind force, speed, and employs a smaller area for the tornado's vortex, namely, himself. Being the newest in his set of moves, and due to the increased intensity of wind force being channeled, Ed can only hold this stance for up to half a minute before he is forced to resume dynamic movement or switch to hand-to-hand combat. It requires a great deal of energy and focus and is not practical to use more than twice especially in long, drawn out battles. WEAPONS : A metallic arm and leg make for very good solid things to hit people with yes? Those speed enhanced punches will hurt, I'm telling you. Ed also has plans of tinkering around with his arm's mechanical blueprints (given to him by the Earth Kingdom inventor that made his prosthetics) and redesigning them to incorporate small weapons such as knives and daggers (kind of like a swiss army arm, if that makes any sense at all). PERSONAL ITEMS : Ed's only remaining personal item is a pocket watch with the words "don't forget" and a date roughly inscribed on the back of it's surface. It was a gift given to him out of pity by the Earth Kingdom inventor who crafted his prosthetic limbs. As a sign of her trust in him, and in a rare display of affection, Kiri has also given Ed the messenger hawk that used to belong to her now deceased brother- the man that save Ed's life. The fowl, one from the same brood as Kiri's hawk, does not seem to get along too well with him (let's just say it's a good thing Ed's right arm is made of metal) although it does an excellent job of fulfilling it's task of delivering messages to and from the other air temples.
