Hello, ToS community! My name is Chels, and I'm another newbie coming in this round! I'm friends with Ryah (who has said all sorts of charming things about you all ♥), so I'm going to give this a go, even if panfandom is not my normal scene. /nerves&things


ANYWAY, I'm bringing in a post-canon (Fire Lord) Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV show, not the movie, which obvs Did Not Happen). He goes through a lot of ~character development~ and is basically a big walking spoiler, but to be specific (to anyone who is familiar with the series), he is from roughly halfway through The Promise comics, shortly after visiting his father in the Fire Nation prison. Angst angst angst daddy issues angst mommy issues angst.

Some brief background facts:

• 17 years old
• Is a FIREBENDER. :D Basically, he can manipulate fire and heat. He can also redirect lightning, but unlike some other firebenders (such as his cray sister and kooky uncle), he cannot actually bend lightning himself. He is also MADSKILLED with twin broadswords.
• Grew up as crown prince and has been the Fire Lord (king, ruler, w/e) for a year now, attempting to redeem the Fire Nation p much by himself...His father and grandfather and great-grandfather kind of screwed things up with the whole "we're gonna CONQUER THE WORLD, mwahahaha!" stint.
• Was banished by his jerk father when he was just 13 years old, just because he had the gall to speak ~out of turn~ like "hey guys, maybe we SHOULDN'T use our own soldiers as meat shields..." His father was the one who gave him the (very conspicuous) burn scar on his face. Such rude, so harshness, wow.
• Used to be very, VERY angry at pretty much everyone and everything and himself and the WORRRRLD, but he grew up a lot during the show; he still has a temper on him, but he's found a lot of peace in learning to live for himself and not for some obsession to win his father's elusive love. He's obsessed with his MIA Mama (parent issues alert, parent issues alert), but there's not really much he can do about that here, so dwi Zuko.
• Can be a little rough around the edges when it comes to straightforwardness/tempers/etc. but sincerely means well.

Already posted my PPP here, and although I don't have a Plurk yet, I'm currently getting the lowdown, soooo I might set one up. If so, I'll edit it in. I'm looking forward to meeting and playing with everyone! (Also, looks like we're roomies, Captain America!)

Whhhhhhaaaaaa?

I know you?

[burnscar]

wow rude get out

[burnscar]

j/k ilu you can stay

[hypospraying]

Hi, Chels! I'm Megan and I play Nurse Christine Chapel from Star Trek AOS, and Captain Hook from Once Upon a Time. Welcome to the game!

[burnscar]

Hi Megan! Thank you for the welcome! :3

[alphaophiuchi]

Oh man, Zuko. HELLO. I'm Momo, and I play this little jerkface AKA Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. It's a pleasure to have you in game, and I look forward to playing with you!

Also, you should totally get Plurk, and when you do, I'm at comatosebutterfly

[burnscar]

Hi Momo! It's lovely to meet you too, + eeeeeee Draco! I'm a big HP nerd (Regulus is my faaave), and my appreciation for Draco in all his jerky glory (or something) runs deep. ♥

Definitely noted!

[freedomfound]

Hey there, I'm Lauren! I play Aileen Ritter and Seth Balmore! I am very excited to see Zuko here! Borderline giddy.

[burnscar]

Hello, Lauren! :D I am excited that you are excited! I don't know a lot of AtLA fans, so I was pumped to hear there are a few here. I'm not familiar with Aileen or Seth right off, but my husband is a huge Dark Tower series fan, so I've been meaning to look into those at some point. Should be fun to play, regardless!

[rebelangel]

Zuuuuuuko! My favorite AtLA character ever!

Ahem. Hello, I'm Xae and I play this woman right here who I've heard you maaaay be familiar with or something.

[burnscar]

Hello Xae! :DDDDDD Zuko's my favorite, too...which is really saying something, because I swear I love pretty much every character on that show so much. It's uncommon for me to dislike characters, but it's also uncommon for me to love all of them as deeply as I love the AtLA ensemble, be it protagonists or antagonists or those in between. But man, am I a sucker for a redemption arc.....

Also PADME, my love burns strong~! Mmmm Star Wars. Ahsoka and Leia crossed my mind in the character-debating process, even if I settled on Zuko for now. The Skywalker family (and by attachment-extension, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka) is my drug.

[abetterhappyending]

oh man HEY i was such an avatard when it was airing, fucking loved it. i even played azula a couple years ago. ANYWAY, i'm rosa and i play this lady here! her name is maria and in her future she becomes tony stark's mother from marvel cinematic universe. i look forward to playing with you!

[burnscar]

I didn't really know AtLA existed until this year, oops, but obsession hit me pretty hard once my friend finally convinced me to watch it. Azula is terrifyingly awesome, so good choice. Nice to meet you, though, Rosa, and woohoo for a Tony Stark mama! I look forward to playing with you too~

[notsharkbait]

Hi Chels!

I play this girl. Erin White. A secretary who is an Aquaman OC I imported from another game. She will be fascinated by Zuko. She also has parent issues. They can bond.

They're about the same age too. Yay for teenagers.

[burnscar]

Hi hi! Yessss, they should definitely bond over parent issues & things. Teenagers yay. \o/

[feellikeibelong]

Hi Chels, I'm Anne and I've got H.G. Wells from Warehouse 13 here. I don't know Avatar, but hey I'm all for random encounters and whatnot!

[burnscar]

Hi Anne! I'm unfamiliar with Warehouse 13 myself, so we're in that same boat, but I'm for random encounters and such too! ♥

[cordelisse]

Hi Chels!!

I'm Bree, and I've got Zoey Westen, an OC and currently comatose seer, as well as Siri Tachi, from Star Wars. Welcome to the game!

[burnscar]

Hi Bree! :3 Thanks for the welcome! And I love Siri, so I was really pleased to see her in play. ♥

[oldfashionedhero]

I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to these two as roommates. I have no idea what direction things will go, but I have a feeling Steve will immediately consider Zuko a responsibility. So that will be fun.

[burnscar]

ADORBS. Zuko has a complicated relationship with people who feel responsible for him; he was forced to grow up fast and runs his own country (independent streak woo), but he is also deeply moved by people who invest themselves in his well-being, considering he grew up Never Good Enough for his dad. Affirmation is a thing for him. I think it'll be a very interesting roommate dynamic. :3

[artistwithasickness]

Hi Chels! I'm Devi and I play Angel from Angel the Series and Devi D From Jthm. Ohhhh firebender

Welcome to Tos!

[burnscar]

Hi Devi! Thanks for the welcome! :D (Fire~)

[horncrown]

The angst is strong with this one.

HELLO. I am Meek. I play this creep here.

Welcome!

[burnscar]

yup yup yup yup

HELLO, and thank you for the welcome! Mwahahaha Maul. >:3 ♥

[diana_abel]

Hello, Chels.

I'm Wizera, one of the mods. Besides playing a ton of NPCs (and writing all the OOC tags...sorry), I play two PCs; Garmay Zaya (Legend of Zelda OC) and Diana Abel (Vampire: The Masquerade).

I must admit I knew nothing about Avatar, until I read your app! Looking forward to playing with you!

[burnscar]

Hi Wizera! I'm looking forward to playing with you too (and love the OOC tags, lol!) ♥ Good times ahead!

[punch_it]

Zuuuuuuuuko :D

Hi! I'm Heather! If you came from LOMB I was there forever and a year ago >.>

Here I play Raleigh Becket (Pacific Rim) and Captain Jane Tiberius Perfect Hair (Star Trek: AOS). Both are pretty good for CR.

Jane will likely enjoy harassing the shit out of Zuko I AM SO SORRY.


Ryah informs me I should yell at you to create a Plurk account. So if she asks here I am. Shouting :p

You can find me on aim @noselfgoogling

[burnscar]

:D :D :D I'm not at LoMB now, but I was about a year ago, so we may have overlapped!(?)

Excellent! I look forward to interacting with them. I enjoyed Pacific Rim a lot, and although I am not deep into Star Trek, I enjoy the bits I'm familiar with.

NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY LOL, huzzah for IC harassment. Sometimes Zuko makes it easy. It should be fun.

Noted! ;D Today I am doing Doctor Who 50th Anniversary things, so it's distracting my computer time, but I am definitely getting the feeling a Plurk account would be a good idea. :P

[littledhampir]

Hi Chels! I'm Brooke, also new and I play Rose Hathaway here :D She and Zuko are fairly close in age and though I swear I'm one of the only people that hasn't watched the series, I am somewhat familiar with it through the joys of RP.

He and Rose are either going to get along famously or not at all. Probably a bit of both LOL.

[burnscar]

Hi Brooke! I'm unfamiliar with Vampire Academy myself, so we're in the same boat there. Should be fun, regardless -- Looking forward to seeing how it all goes. :D

[punchedaklingon]

Hello hello!

I'm Claire and I'm one of the players who's been in the game from the very start.

I have four of my girls here; Glinda the Good from Wicked the Musical, Queen Sophie-Anne from True Blood and my two Star Trek girls Gaila (A green sexpot alien) and Ensign Pasha Chekov who is a genderbend with previous game history.

I'm on hiatus at the moment and my girls are currently dolls, but I can't wait to get to playing with you when I come off hiatus on the 13th of December!

If you want to catch me on plurk for plotting my name is pantiestealer.

[burnscar]

It's lovely to meet you, Claire! Sounds like a fun mix, and I look forward to playing with them too, when you return!

[idolstolemylook]

Hi there! Oh my gosh I love Zuko. I'm Kris, and I play Spike and Luke Skywalker. I think both will have an interesting relationship with Zuko, for different reasons. (Then there's the meta Mark Hamill reason, trololol) I'm at original_fine if you do get one set up!

Welcome!

[burnscar]

Hey Kris. :3 (Omg all the meta joy. Zuko, I AM YOUR FATHER! /brainbreaks, also ignores the misquotey aspect w/e...Trololol.) I am one of the few people in the world who has yet to see any of the Buffyverse OOPS, even though I love everything Joss Whedon touches, but I was definitely thinking Zuko would have an interesting relationship with both Luke and Anakin. I love drawing mental parallels: He has the temper/internalized shame/mommy issues/redemption arc of Anakin, and the redeeming-family-darkness/daddy issues (hey father-delivered-disfigurements hey) of Luke. I'm looking forward to playing around with that.

Thank you!

[mini_dean]

YEY! Daddy issues unite! You've come to the right game for that LOL

Hi Chels! Welcome to the game. I'm Alison, and I play an aged up AU version of Ben Braeden from Supernatural, and Marcus Whitmore from the novel A Discovery of Witches.

I'm on plurk at alisonsky if you want to friend me, and look forward to chatting with you more soon!

[burnscar]

Yessss daddy issues are best.

Thank you! I've only recently started watching Supernatural -- I would look myself, but in order to avoid possible spoilers in case I'm WRONG, is Ben Braeden the kiddo who was the son of that lady Dean was really in love with? Where he went to the birthday party? I'm assuming so because his username is mini_dean, and the kid was def a mini-Dean, buuuut because it's a show I looove and will def keep watching, I am more careful about spoilers. ;)

Thank you for the welcome, and I look forward to chatting more too!

[notrosesshadow]

Hello and welcome Chels! I'm Al, and this is Martha Jones from Doctor Who. I don't have a Plurk either, but I'm sort of an idiot when it comes to social media...

Anyway... welcome to the game! I look forward to meeting zuko.
