So I have an interview. I am hoping to be done by 3, but don't be surprised if I am done around 4pm. My timezone is GMT. Zoze's history is almost finished. And I apologize. I have broken it up in sections with headers and spoilers.

@Gisk

Could you hold on? I really want to help. And I can help. My offer still stands. I found Neo's photo for her character. You're just going to have to give me some time.


Yeah, I have no rush on anything. If I find something I like I'll hold onto it and see what's best

Okay so the way this is gonna work is that we're going to follow the show's formatting, with different "books" and "episodes" with their own arches. We're starting with a collab post from @regitnui and @pandapolio (if that's what you guys agreed with) that will set the stage for us. The other characters will be introduced en route to or in Ba Sing Se (so you'll need to figure out a reason for your character to be present).

I think this is going to be pretty heavily collab-post based because it's definitely the easiest way to narrate battles and the like.

I'm home. So all I need from you is a PM of what you're trying to go for. Personality. Types of eye and hair color.

Can I have it when Hideki gets angry and uses all his power in fire bending it goes white because it is so hot?

Zoze has white flames. White is a sign of purity. And when I say purity I mean pure actions, peace, and serenity. I'd go with blue or purple when Hideki is angry.

@AngelofOctober I hadn't thought about it that way, and sorry I didn't see Zoze already had white flames. Maybe I'll go with blue flames.

White is also the hottest something can be. Azula's flames were blue because of the strength of her bending, and it was a big deal that they were that strong. Even Ozai still had orange flames.

I don't think anyone should have white, and blue would even be pretty out there.

Remember firebender is all about what the user wills. While they get their bending from the sun it is fueled by different things.

Zuko's orange fire, all though fueled by rage, was also fueled by his determination, his dedication, his passion and desire.

Azula's blue flames were fueled by her jealousy, her loneliness blue is a color of sadness or loneliness, her power hungry drive, her need for overwhelming power.

Their father's was more red orange to me I always thought, and that was fueled by his drive for power, perhaps his passion, and his rage. His hatred. His cruelty. Etc.

In this case I chose white flames for Zoze because white is often the color of serenity and peace. All the things that Zoze would use to fuel his flames. While his flames may be smaller and not so overwhelming as other firebenders, it is tempered through patience. While Zoze's words come off cutting or he comes off bold. His flames are symbol of the purity that fuels his will. Zoze's firebending is practiced through patience, an ability of understand his element, and a way of containing his power.

Since Zoze was taught by a water bender and water is often the sign of tranquility, serenity, patience, fluidity, etc. I wanted Zoze to symbolize these things as well.

Remember everything in the Avatar world and even drawing from Eastern mythology has a spiritual counterpart.

@Gisk Hideki is pretty powerful seeing as he has spent 26 years wandering the globe looking for ways to improve his bending.

Remember in Avatar world, it's not the color of the flame that is what makes it hot. It's the persons willpower. The colors were not just the color of the heat. It was more a spiritual connection. Azula's flames were the strongest not just because they were blue, but because of her overwhelming will that fueled it. Her power hungry drive. Remember a Firebender bends fire through their determination, their will, their inner emotions. We have seen Zuko's flames beat Azula's when he is angry because it is emotion that controls the heat. Emotion and will.

But I guess being able to use lightning is already alot to start out with. If you guys don't want it I will just use normal flames. Im fine with that

I'm good with other people having different colors. It really sort of explores what a fire bender uses to fuel their flames when they do not rely on solely anger and rage. What are the emotions and willpower they use to temper their flames. Kahisa has pink flames to show her passion.

Zoze has white flames because his flames are fueled by his patience, his inner peace.

Actually, lightning bending's a pretty well known firebending technique, in Korra, I don't imagine it's gotten any less known in the future. Especially since Firebenders can actually use the lightning to work, it would more or less be an advanced beginners lesson. :3

@Neo Is Delight Thank you for telling me that. I actually have not seen Korra in the longest time, guess I should watch that after I watch last airbender. I would say Hideki's power is fueled by his drive for more power and to master every aspect of firebending. What color would you guys say that is?

Red, Purple, maybe even blue like Azula's.

Purple most likely because Purple is a shade of red and blue. Red is the drive, red is probably that anger you're talking about when Hideki gets mad. Red is passion and often an energizing color. While Blue is a calmer color, it is eccentric, it is that drive and will we were talking about Azula. Purple is both passion, it is the mystery of blue, and often the color that best attracts those eccentric and creative minds.

Just some of my thoughts though.

So the history is complete. I'm going to add something to the Misc section. The section anything else you want to Add. But elsewise it should be complete. I put the snippets in spoilers and left the clips for people to read the history without the TLDR. I couldn't help myself I sort of got excited. I tried to trim it down, but ugh. It just doesn't happen with me.
