OU, AU, or OC? Original universe
If canon, canon point: After the end of Book 3
Superhero Name: Blue Flame
History: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Azula
Personality:
It would not be unfair to call Azula a pyschopath. She is ruthless, cunning, and manipulative, showing little to no empathy for those who are in her way, even if they are her friends or family. She is extremely ambitious and will do anything and everything in order to achieve power.
Her first reaction when something happens is to figure out what it means for her.
Azula is egotistical and very self-confident, believing that she is has a divine right to rule. She also believes that leading by fear is the greatest power and so she uses fear and her own charisma to lead. Her leadership style is both terrifying and inspiring at the same time.
There are sides of Azula that show there is more to her than just a psychopath. She was deeply upset by the perceived favouritism that her mother had for her brother, as well as the fact that her mother considered Azula to be "a monster." Because of this, Azula became desperate for her father's admiration, something she was easily able to do given her skill at firebending. This also led to the intense rivalry between her and Zuko, whom Azula always considered a weakling.
Azula an extreme perfectionist, which helped her become such a talented firebender. She always drove herself and those around her to become stronger, discarding anyone who couldn't measure up. She is also very intelligent, observant, and an excellent strategist, able to outwit almost every opponent she has ever crossed.
While she doesn't use them often, Azula's social skills are quite terrible, particularly if she wants someone to like her (and especially if said someone is a boy). She does not really understand how to relate to other people, at best being able to muster a little sympathy for them, though no empathy.
Azula was devastated when her friends, Mai and Ty Lee, turn against her, even if it was due to her own actions. This betrayal shook Azula to the core and marked the beginning of her descent into madness. Paranoia overtook her, since if the only people she trusted could betray her, than so could anyone else. Her emotions also begin to get the best of her, with her breaking down in frustrated tears when she was finally defeated.
Canon Powers: Azula is a firebender. Her fire is hotter than typical, so the flames appear blue. She is also capable of lightning bending.
Game powers: The same powers as she has in canon, which I believe would put her in the Super Badass Power category.
Abilities: Azula is skilled in hand-to-hand combat beyond her bending prowess, often able to use it alone to fight. She also is a very convincing liar, even able to fool Toph's lie detecting abilities.
Setting: I expect it to be a hard transition for Azula, particularly given her recent mental/emotional instability. Also, she is not a very trusting person, so that may make establishing relationships difficult. However, I think once she aligns with the Legion she could be a great asset, since she very nearly did help the Fire Nation take over the world.
Ultimately, I would like to see her gain more control over her emotions and be able to become a more functioning psychopath. I'd also love to explore the more "normal" aspects of her personally, which are really only shown in the episode "The Beach". Maybe she could even learn how to keep a friend or two.
Also, she'll definitely try to take control of The Legion.
SAMPLES
Prose Sample: Azula @ the Test Drive
Network Sample:
I know you think this message is ridiculous, and it is. What could I possibly have to tell you that you don't already know? You're me, after all.
I'm supposed to talk about my goals or some nonsense like that. I suppose I might as well play along, for now. I expect that by the time you listen to this you'll have accomplished all of them any way.
My goal is, naturally, to rise to the top of the Legion ranks. I was born to rule. Under my leadership, it would only be a matter of time until Chronoblivion is defeated.
And after that? It's hard to say. I could return to my world and overthrow my brother once and for all. Or maybe I stay here and see what new nation I could create. I suppose you know more about that than I do.
Is that enough for this little message in a bottle? It will have to be. There are so many more important things that I could be doing right now, so farewell, future self. I look forward to becoming you.
Additional info: Azula has received treatment since her breakdown at the end of the series, allowing her to function on a day-to-day basis again. However, she is not completely stable.
If this is your first character being apped to the game, did you reserve first? Yes
