Character: Iroh
Series: Avatar: The Last AirbenderCharacter Age: 64
Job: Camp Uncle
Canon: In a world of crazy kung-fu elemental action, four nations named after their respective elements are divided when the Fire Nation decides it wants to rule them all. The only one that has hopes of returning peace is the Avatar, master of the four elements... but surprise! The Avatar is an twelve-year-old boy. Using his power of love and the other four elements, he and his group of mismatched friends from the four nations strive to return balance to the world.
Though part of the Fire Nation Royal bloodline and a skilled Firebender, Iroh doesn't seem to carry the same imperialistic (and downright cruel) qualities as his family. Easygoing and kind, he follows his nephew, Zuko, into exile and spends his days like a long vacation: sharing tea with strangers, giving good advice, and playing the strategy game of Pai Sho. Those close to him know him for his "lengthy anecdotes" and "cryptic proverbs," and he can always be pegged by his good sense of humor. However, behind all of his hedonistic tendencies, Iroh is a wise, caring man with a talent for strategy. Throughout the series, he supplies Zuko, as well the Avatar and his friends, with steady support and understanding, hoping to change the world for the better and bring peace.Sample Post:I had my doubts when I first arrived. Being summoned by someone to counsel young people in times of hardship is not an easy task, but the kind woman who asked me to come insisted that I would be of great service to her. Ha ha ha, of course I'm going to come. Being beckoned for aid from a beautiful woman, who could resist? Perhaps she has heard of my great skill brewing tea, and that influenced her decision. Knowing the skills that must be brought into an establishment is key, and it's a great way of meeting new people. Even you, with your long tentacles, must have come from somewhere. This Elizabeth Sayre must have good business skills, bringing such talented people into one place.
Our Director seems to have an interesting set of priorities. Of course we are not all set in our own paths, and crossing into someone else's destiny occasionally gives us insight into our own destinies. It is a tragedy to hear that she's lost her husband. Perhaps, in bringing all of these people here, she is looking for her own path within them. Losing a loved one can be difficult, and loneliness soon follows. I can only hope that I was not brought here out of spite, and that I've come to her aid her in time of trouble. Is your tea getting low? Here, allow me to refill your cup for you.
There are many things in my life that I never imagined myself doing... serving tea to tentacles coming from a lake is certainly one of them. There is certainly something to be learned from this; even in the deepest waters, there is life willing to share quiet moments of thought. No matter who we are, good company is always welcome. Of course, in your situation, it's more like frequent visits. I don't suppose that many people stop for an invigorating conversation with a lake monster, no matter what you have to say. It always surprises me how people who are surrounded by so many can be so lonely. Well, look at all these fine plants around you, you can always see yourself in good company. That one, at the lake's edge, is the rare Red Jade, it is poisonous to the touch or a possible cure for hair loss. I would suggest that you keep your tentacles in the lake when it comes to the foliage that keeps you company. However, it would be best if you did not brew it in my absence.
Hm ... Even though I think you would look good with a full head of hair.
