/scans really quick, might get interrupted for errands soon

I'd say his conflict over honor is more about whether or not it is something that can be given (i.e. honor is winning his father's approval) or something that is just a part of you

/nods

aaand now I gotta go, I'll look more at it later

o7

okay I'm back /goes back to reading

I don't think it's quite right to say he "became selfish" during his exile, more like... his sheltered upbringing mixed with his drive to win his father's approval led him to act very single-mindedly

that compassionate kid was always there underneath the surface, as seen in The Storm, but it was buried by frustration and anger

gurl next time you say you can't beta apps

These are very helpful pointers

YAY I'M DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

I'm new at this Avatar thing so I really do need a second pair of eyes

Especially since I'd only seen it once before writing it...although I'm rewatching it now

ohgod I think I've watched the whole thing in its entirety... four times now?

and Zuko's character arc is my favorite augh precious child

YOU'RE PERFECT FOR MY APPBENDING TEACHER

okay okay back to business

PFFT

Also I need someone who doesn't derive as much pleasure from his suffering as I do

another thing you might want to mention about his decision making is that he tends not to think things through

...okay not all of his suffering. The sick episode kills me

see: North Pole, taking v. freeing Appa, etc

he tends to be very focused on the here and now and just makes things up as he goes

this gets better after joining the Gaang, of course, but you know

habits

/nods I kind of vaguely referred to that but SPECIFICS CAN HELP especially since he's really bad at that

I also wouldn't say that he's soft-spoken, necessarily, but more... idk, moody? Slow to open up and trust?

/nods

HE IS BAD AT PEOPLE

PEOPLE HOW DO THEY WORK

him and his sister both

just can't get over her trying to "woo" that guy

comes with growing up in what amounts to a social darwinist household

Yeah

fuckin' Ozai, man

and Azulon, and Sozin

Fire Nation Royal Family has issues

The P3 kids think Mitsuru is bad...

I'm also kind of waffling on Arcana hooray

mmm, my first thought would be Chariot :|a

relentless pursuit of goals, etc

I DON'T NEED ANOTHER CHARIOT ARIES

IF THE SHOE FITS, MY DEAR

I am kind of waffling between Sun and Judgement because I am looking at this from a more ~spiritual angle

that said you could use Fool to reference his character arc, Magician to reference his place as secondary to Aang

or those

THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY

To say

"I don't need another fool"

pff

Strength could also work with post-Gaang :|a

But yeah I was kind of drawn to the higher end arcana just because of where he's at in his story in terms of reaching ~englightenment~

And as tempting as Judgement is I'm leaning on Sun just because FIRRRRRRRREEEEEEE

Temperance to represent his place as inheritor of Roku and Sozin ok no

his ultimate persona is going to be roku surfing on a dragonboard

fff

and see, you see Sun as FIRE, I see it as "SOO HAPPYYYY 8D"

and it's just like

lol

what are you talking about zuko is the happiest

Zuko sweetie

lolololol

On the other hand

Tatsuya is also Sun

/SHRUGS

lol

ALSO this is just an idea, but maybe it might be cool if either his 8th or mutation skill changed his resist lightning into reflect or absorb '3'

And now as I sit here watching as Zuko glues himself to the ceiling due to his HIGH INTELLECT

I wonder why do I always pick the smart ones

"You know, I don't care what the others say about you, Zuko. You're pretty smart." ~ Aang, Firebending Masters

cue "aww yiss someone thinks I'm smart-- wait, what.."

lul

there anything else you need to look over in le app? Cause I'm gonna private it up again if not

uh... no I think that's all I got for now!

okay!

Thank you for looking over it

no problem

the app ok otherwise?

mhm

cool

hope i can do this kid justice
