Characters Name: Zuko
Age: 16
Canon Point: After helping Katara find her mother's killer and returning to camp. Pre-Sozin's Comet.
Species: Firebending MONSTER /BROOOOOOOOOOOOODS. ... No, just human.
Gender: Male, and most definitelya pretty pretty princessmale.
Orientation: For when he turns 18... Straight. He had a lady friend in canon, so I think it's safe to say. c:
History:
Book 1 History
Book 2 History
Book 3 History
Iiiii do not blame you if you did not read all of that.
Here's the idea.
Book 1: AAAAAANGST, MUST REGAIN HONOR, MUST CAPTURE AVATAR.
Book 2: INNER STRUGGLEEEE, OH WAIT FATHER WANTS TO HAVE ME HOME, AVATAR IS DESTROYED BUT NOT REALLYYYY.
Book 3: MORE INNER STRUGGLE, WOOBY UNCLE HUGS, HELPING THE AVATAR TAKE DOWN FIRELORD. YEAAAAH.
Appearance: THIS CHARMING YOUNG MAN is the crowned prince of the Fire Nation. ... Or was, until his father gave him that nasty scar on the left side of his face and banished him. Zuko's a young, handsome prince though, even with that scar. He'll be commonly seen in deep reds and golds, the color of his heritage.
Personality: /CRACKS KNUCKLES.
You wanna talk about an angsty teenager? Zuko would take the cake. Especially in the start of the series. Being the Crowned Prince of the Fire Nation and being banished and scarred by one's father has a habit of making what we literary folks like to call the tragic villain! Indeed, Zuko spend the first book of the Avatar series as a villain, constantly chasing after the Avatar and Company. Really, Zuko had forced himself to believe that delivering the Avatar to his father back in the Fire Nation would completely restore his honor. And honor is something he prattles on and on and on about. This, for the longest time, was Zuko's sole motivation in life: earning the love and respect of his father. Uuuuunfortunately, this is not the case. Zuko's father, Fire Lord Ozai, is a cruel man, with less than desirable parental methods.
Zuko's motivation has since changed, but.. I'll get to that later!
Back to chasing Aang. The Avatar he's so concerned with catching.
Zuko, throughout this part in the series.. well, he's a complicated ball of contradicting angst. In fact... One might say that Zuko has a rather sizable case of... AANGst.I'm not sorry at all for using that horrible pun. Zuko's comes off as ruthless and strict, though I believe this happens due to his royal background. Even though he acts this way, he doesn't ever seem to want to hurt anyone. Especially if there's nothing to gain while doing it. This is quite contradictory to most of his nation. In fact, the reason he got that scar across his face is because he spoke out against sacrificing a fleet of able-bodied soldiers. There are even times throughout the series that Zuko opts to save people at the sacrifice of capturing the Avatar.
He's a very motivated and determined young man. Once he puts his mind to something, he'll stop at nothing to obtain it. That much alone is clear from his time chasing Aang. Coupled with the zeal and drive to get this objective done, Zuko's very trustworthy when it comes to execution of these tasks. Remember how I said I'd come back to what motivates Zuko and why that makes him stand out so much among the other Fire Nation royalty who are driven by political advancement? Well, here it is: Zuko is motivated by perseverance and hard work. I think we can thank Iroh for instilling this belief in Zuko, the little bugger. Though he can be hard on himself if he fails. :| Oops.
As admirable as that last trait is... Zuko has his share of teenage problems too. First off, he can be hot-headed and brash. This ends up causing him to make mistakes, which only frustrates him further. He can even end up acting before thinking--especially when startled. This is significantly lessened once he joins Aang and co., but still a possibility. He may be prone to minute tempter tantrums (Even with his current canon point--like when he tries to teach Aang firebending and ends up not being able to produce.) On top of all that, he can be one of the most awkward turtles ever. Let's face it, Zuko's never been on top of the Fire Nation Social Interaction list.
Zuko is also clever, agile, and quick. This comes from his fighting skill and tactical prowess from war meetings, Agni Kai fights, or just general life lessons. Because of this, he's also a hard teacher. Sorry Aang, there's no fun to be had when learning firebending. Part of this is due to the loyalty he feels to his true destiny, which he believes with all his heart is teaching the Avatar firebending. Zuko finally did what his uncle said, find his own destiny. He finally learned he needs to do what's right and earn his own honor; that his father couldn't restore it for him.
Iroh gets a special little section of this app, because this Wooby Emo Prince treasures the bond they have. He views Iroh like a father--more than his ever was to begin with. Therefore, they are quite close. Iroh's always been a guide for Zuko, and because of his efforts, the Prince grew up from a 14 year old obsessed with earning his father's love to a respectable, independent man. And nothing's better than wooby reuniting hugs between these two.
Abilites:
As a prince of the Fire Nation, Zuko is a very skilled Fire bender. This is one thing I would like to see him gain back. I PROMISE HE WON'T USE IT FOR BAD. He's good, now. Promise.
As for things he will definitely be retaining, he's an exceptional brooder! Get him on the subject of his Uncle and he'll brood the day away! One of his more useful skills will be tea-making. Though he is a novice, tea's become a large part of his life, due to the time he and his uncle spent in Ba Sing Se. He also has had a lot of practice with swordsmanship, being one of the only Firebenders to utilite firebending via the sword.
Other: None that I know of!

Third Person:
Waking up in a lawn chair of a place that was definitely not normal?
Noooo thank you.
Enter sneaky ninja Zuko, who will be trailing the perimeter of this place in attempts to find the way out. Surely there must be one. He got here somehow, right? Trying to keep low and out of sight was difficult in this nice sunshine weather, but leave it to the broodmaster to do it. Clearly this was a trick. A trap of some sort...
"This doesn't look like any place I've seen..." There were metal monsters and weird houses, and the people... their colors weren't uniform at all to signal their kingdom. Needless to say, Zuko was confused. Last he knew, he just got back with Katara, and Sozin's Comet was just around the corner... This was making him anxious!
"This is taking too long," he murmured before.. welp. Ninja-climbing a tree and hopping over the fence.
... Only to find himself on the same side.
Confusion laced those boyish features of his. Okay, he knows he hopped the right side, how.. did he end up back over here. One flub like this would not stop him, so one more, Zuko would attempt a fence hop. ... To no avail.
"Fine," he scoffed. If that's how this fence was going to be, he'd just have to burn it back! The boy threw punch that would normally produce a sizable fireball.. suddenly did nothing. This moment would cause a moment of panic. What happened to his bending?! Another attempt--this time a sweeping kick and punch! Nothing. Fire breath! Nothing.
"What's going on?! Why won't it work?!"
