- CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Azula Zheng
CODENAME: --
SERIES/SOURCE: Avatar: The Last Airbender
AGE: 15
GENDER: Female
ROLE: Student
BACKGROUND:
Azula was born the second child of a powerful politician in New York. From an early age she was a tyrant, and while her gentle brother was coddled by her mother, Azula quickly became daddy's little girl; power-mongering and fear-inducing whenever and wherever she could. She took joy in breaking her brother's toys and she got irrationally upset when she didn't get whatever she wanted. Her mother was unimpressed, and she expressed her worries about Azula's future to her husband. Even though he was proud, he agreed that she needed an outlet, and they enrolled in her kung fu, which she wold pursue for the rest of her young life.
When she got into school, her attitude didn't change. Despite having an outlet for her frustration and something to focus on, she demanded attention from her peers and refused to be bested. Around the age of twelve, her mutation developed. Her family discovered it when she set her brothers room on fire during a particularly heated argument. Her father decided to take advantage of this, using her to promote himself as a pro-mutant politician. This only lasted so long, until her mother demanded she be sent somewhere to get her powers under control. Azula, despite being at odds with her mother, agreed, but with the intention of becoming more powerful. So she was sent off to Xavier's Institute at the ripe age of fifteen, ambitious for power and ready to learn.
So then she left because I was a failure and dropped her.
There was a bit of a family emergency back home in China. Her grandfather became very ill and Azula's father had to uproot the family without warning and bring them back to China. When they got there, they discovered that grandfather Azulon had left Ozai, Azula's father, out of most of the will. This caused an uproar, there was much heartache between Ozai and his brother, and that's why they were gone so long. On top of the funeral, of course.
PERSONALITY:
Azula enjoys herself most when she's pushing people around. Having grown up with a mother who thought she was a monster, Azula has deep-seeded insecurities, but she'd never let anyone know. She herself refuses to believe that her mother influenced her behavior, and claims she just takes after her father. This dynamic in her family has left her with little appreciation for emotional ties, and Azula believes that emotions just drag you down. The fact that her parents uphold a very proper, never-publicly-intimate, relationship supports this; her father never shows an emotional attachment to his wife and so it never becomes a handicap.
Despite the fact that she claims to be free of desire for any type of relationship, Azula is still a teenager and a human being. Her pride won't allow her to admit wanting companionship, but she still needs it on a fundamental level. This leaves her extremely clumsy in social situations. She's very uncomfortable "lowering" herself to anything that involves pleasing other people, and she doesn't really understand why she can't just demand friends or a boyfriend. The friends she has were attracted to the power she held herself with, but beyond that the only way Azula knows how to interact with people is to scare them into submission and then tell them what to do.
APPEARANCE:
Azula is a young, medium-height woman of Chinese descent. Her training in kung fu has made her physically fit and she looks very agile. Her dark hair is always pulled back out of her face into a bun or a ponytail.
POWERS:
In her canon, Azula is a firebender, which means she can create an manipulate fire through movements inspired by Northern Shaolin style kung fu. In addition to this, Azula is one of the few firebenders who also has the ability to bend lightning.
As a mutant Azula will retain these powers. Her ability to conjure fire and lightning won't rely as much on her martial arts as firebending does, although it will rely on movement of her body, but her black belt in kung fu will be put to good use if she's learning how to use her power in combat.
ANYTHING ELSE?:
Nothing I can think of!
- RP SAMPLES
First-person sample:
The difference between long and short range attacks is a matter of speed or precision. In close combat, you have to be quick. If you can outmatch your opponent hit-for-hit, they will get tired and eventually leave themselves open for a final, decisive blow. However, this requires endurance. You need to have the ability to out-power your opponent as well as out-hit them.
Long range attacks require precision. You can take your time, but you have to make sure it's powerful, and you have to make sure you hit your target. Otherwise you run the risk of having them get away, and you don't want that, do you?
Of course not.
Third-person sample:
There was nothing about the seventh grade that Azula liked. You weren't young and new enough to make an impression, and you weren't old and feared enough to tell anyone what to do. It was just boring. Everyone was trying to find themselves; they were awkward and confused and Azula wished they would hurry up so she wouldn't have to deal with anymore ridiculous, nonsensical outbursts when she confidently told them what was most definitely what. Her patience with their lack of understanding the order of power among their peers, and more importantly herself, was waning. She was nearly down to her last nerve, and the only thing that kept her from snapping was the promise of kung fu practice after school. When she was facing off an opponent, for a simple spar or a gold medal at a competition, everyone knew who was in control. Having that kind of power was thrilling.
So when she looked around at her classmates, the one who didn't understand the power she held because they didn't understand themselves, she could only roll her eyes and think: idiots. If they didn't understand soon, she'd have to make them understand.
Watching the teacher explain once again the concept she had introduced half an hour ago wasn't helping. Azula had already understood and had it written down in her notebook, but she couldn't help but think about how her father had paid good money to send her to one of the best private schools in the state and she was still learning at a snail's pace. The end of her pen tapped her desk with an effortlessly constant pace as she waited, hating the slower students more and more with each sharp tap.
A folded piece of paper appeared on the edge of her desk, and she glanced at the girl sitting beside her with the utmost nonchalance. The girl had been a friend of hers since elementary school, so passing notes wasn't unheard of. Azula unfolded the piece of paper and read the flowing cursive.
"The new guy's cute."
Azula glanced up to see him, still bored but accepting this momentary distraction. She sighed before checking to make sure the teacher wasn't looking and put her pen to the paper.
"He's probably only here because his parents are rich. He looks like an idiot."
She passed the note back and her friend smirked as she wrote back.
"I'm gonna ask him out."
Azula rolled her eyes and shared and exasperated look with the girl, who smiled, shrugged, and fixed her eyes back on the schools newest dumb jock. Azula wrote one last sentence, reminding her friend not to schedule anything that would conflict with their plans that weekend and then turned her attention back to the teacher, who was finally moving on.
There was absolutely nothing Azula liked about seventh grade.
