Writing too much lately. *exhausted*

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudocanon.

- Unlike his father (and perhaps as a reaction against his father), Azulon has almost no interest in men. His appetites for women are near-legendary.

- Dragons were sometimes hunted before Azulon came to the throne. Like all creatures, dragons could be harmful to humans, and the Firefolk tended to dislike creatures ravaging their fields and towns.

Azulon, however, decided to eradicate all of them. Their firebending did not mesh with what he needed of a nation turned to war, and he knew it was going to be a long, bloody war.

- Sozin learned to firebend in the tradition of the dragons. Azulon learned to ragebend, though he understood the theory behind dragon-style firebending. He simply chose not to practice it.

I always enjoy reading bout your version of Azulon, the womanizer. :)

I'm also quite intrigued by him, because it was under him that the vast majority of the hundred year's war was fought, wasn't it?

I am also amused by the term "ragebend." VERY appropriate term.

Yep, the vast majority of the war happened under Azulon. Including the devastation of the Southern Water Tribe, FANDOM.

Ozai, by comparison, has actually done much less harm to the world as a whole than his older male relatives. But he's the only one alive and not on a redemption path when Aang comes around.

I'm surprised this Azulon doesn't have an army of bastard offspring running around. Or maybe he does and they're just smart enough to stay away from the crazy lightning-happy cousins. *curious* Did Azulon invent ragebending, or did someone teach it to him?

Azulon really, really intrigues me. He has this whole history of ruthless warmongering, and yet the only time we see him, he's throwing a wobbly because his kids are being mean to each other. *overinterpreting characters with two lines of dialogue is fun*

There are gold-eyed bastards up and down the eastern coast of the Earth Kingdom, and more than a handful in the Fire Nation. However, he cannot publicly acknowledge them without removing his two legitimate boys from inheriting the throne. Fire Nation has very strict primogeniture, the way I write it, and his bastards tend to be either older than Iroh or younger than Ozai. (He didn't stray much while his wife was alive.)

I suspect Sozin invented ragebending and/or it was a minor style of firebending before his time. Azulon, I get the impression, did a lot of polishing on it.
