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!)

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!

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!

No, you're thinking of the right kid. Mine is an adult though, who I aged up in the 2014 AU world that comes up in season 5. You'll probably hear people talk about him in game because he kinda has his fingers in a lot of things.
