Society of the Fire Nation:
_______________________
The Fire Nation Society places high importance on the traditions of Honour and Respect. Most presently towards those of Higher Command in the Military, Teachers, Siphus, Nobility, and Above all the Fire Lord and Lady. An honoured bow is sectioned normally for this greeting and may be played out in RP.
A further example of the Fire Nation's emphasis on Honour and Respect is that of an Agni Kai; which is a Fire Battle. These are required to be accepted and are Honoured Traditions. An Agni Kai consists of Two Fire benders, in a single match. Forfeiting an Agni Kai is very-very slim, and causes an unbelieveably high amount of dishonour on the forfeiter's family, and themselves.
Note: Fire Nation schooling is required for underage (16) characters.

The Fire Element
_________________________
Firebending during the Great War (The 100 year war in the Series) was deprived from Rage; Wrath and The Need for Power and Determination. Dragons were, and still are the True Firebenders, and the Most Powerful as such. Their Firebending style is not deprived from Rage or Wrath, instead it is Deprived from the Will to Protect and the Warmth of Life. This style is slowly becoming more and more common, and it is noted that this formation of Fire Bending is -stronger-.
The Main Season of the Fire Nation is Summer, and they draw their Power from the Sun.
Firebending moves are based mainly on the style of Northern Shaolin kung fu, but with a few techniques from Northern Seven Star Praying Mantis. These martial arts feature quick, successive attacks that exert extreme power for just a moment (much like an explosion, called ging lik). It optimizes a strong continuous offense, sacrificing defense for greater power, the principle behind a preemptive strike.
Firebenders use their internal body heat as a source of their bending to create fire. This facet of Firebending is in sharp contrast to the other bending arts, which manipulate already present representations of their element (though Firebenders can control or enhance flames nearby). Unlike other bending disciplines, Firebending has few defensive moves aside from blocking and dodging, although master Firebenders are able to create walls of fire to absorb incoming attacks or shoot down incoming projectiles.
Firebending uses concentrated barrages of fire to overwhelm opponents before striking a fatal blow. Swift, whirling kicks and punches generate diverse shapes for offensive attacks.
Circular motion also seems to be a crucial element to the skill as it seems to be a precession to "power up" the Firebender's flames. When creating lightning, the Firebenders often move their arms in slow, circular motions, a bit like Waterbenders but with more tension. As said before, whirling kicks or blows are used many times in the series to create arcs, or just to power their bending.
Fire is the Element of Power | Will and Determination.
