Powers/Magic Uncanny luck: it may not be magic but Bumi seems to be able to get out of situations using rather unconventional methods. Some say it's dumb luck but the frequency in which he does it seems to be something more than that. It could be the "tall tales" he tells of his adventures may be true after all.
Physical Abilities: Bumi is an expert boxer and is very strong for a man his age. He is well versed in hand-to-hand combat and military strategy. He is also an expert tracker and well versed in military tactics.
Weaknesses: Bumi is human and can die as such. Not being unable to bend it leaves him at a slight disadvantage. His pride can lead him into dangerous stations. Sometimes his unorthodox methods can backfire.

Personality: According to Katara, Bumi was rambunctious as a child, and General Iroh described him as a "bit of a wild man, but the bravest commander you'll ever meet." Growing up as the only nonbender in his family, he adopted a wild, determined personality to prove that he could do everything a bender can, something he was proud of. This attitude bordered on the reckless from time to time, though Bumi always had the best interests of his friends and family in mind, being caring and loyal to those close to him.
Despite his extrovert nature and ability to turn "a story about buying figs into a feat of derring-do", Bumi felt guilty over not having been born an airbender like his father wanted though hoped nonetheless that he was making Aang proud by devoting his life to making the world a better place.
As the former commander of the United Forces' Second Division, Bumi is an accomplished and charismatic leader, able to quickly rally supporters in battle. He is renowned for his strategic thinking and courage, though these attributes are often overshadowed by his apparent immaturity. He is known to finish his missions using unorthodox and sometimes bizarre strategies, though his propensity toward exaggeration has caused Tenzin to dismiss many of his brother's stories as absurd and convoluted. Bumi's military training has also made him proficient in Morse code and cryptonyms, and he is fluent in code name conventions. Bumi describes himself as having an acute intellect and cat-like reflexes, which he proved through his proficiency in boxing and knife-throwing. He also possesses great physical strength, as he was able to carry both Mako and Bolin at the same time whilst the two were unconscious.
Bumi has some skill in playing the flute, able to produce sounds that can calm dark spirits if the entity is susceptible to it. While not as adept as his father Aang or niece Jinora, Bumi has a natural connection to spirits: He is able to communicate with them to the point where he understands if a given situation is urgent, saying that he "got the gist" of what they are trying to tell him. Bumi also has some skill at knitting, as he created a tiny sweater for Bum-Ju
History: The firstborn and only nonbender among Aang and Katara's three children, Bumi grew into a rambunctious child who needed close supervision. Similar to his sister Kya, Bumi was somewhat distant from his father, who was focused primarily on his Avatar duties, preserving Air Nomad culture, and training Tenzin in airbending. Regardless, the family remained close, and Bumi was supportive of Kya when she revealed her sexual orientation to him.
According to Bumi, he was kidnapped in a potato sack and forced to enlist in the United Forces, where he became a commander. In the course of his career, Bumi was involved in many missions: he commanded a rescue operation in the mountains near Ba Sing Se; led his men against hostile Si Wong tribes in the Si Wong Desert; and captured a band of pirates at the Hurricane Straits. The commander also claimed to have participated in a rock-throwing contest, during which he defeated an earthbender, winning a trophy as a result. Because of his achievements, unorthodox tactics, and exceptional character, many of his colleagues, including General Iroh, came to respect him greatly.
Despite his family problems he does love his brother and sister. Even though they do have arguments and he loves to torment them both he would give anything to keep them and their families safe.
Just before the attack by Unalok, Bumi was transported to Median via a strange portal. After being in this strange new world for a few months he has used his experience at sea and now runs a charter and recovery business at the Tiburon seaport.
