[Ah, scenic Boys' Cabin 8! Home of etc. etc. etc. and so on. In this most scenic of cabins, any sort of tranquility and peace has just been disrupted by a certain flighty acrobat kind of... uncharacteristically storming in looking the worse for wear. Have fun with that!]
GUYS GUYS I'M A DRABBLE WRITER NOW.
Nov. 16th, 2007 12:11 amSo there was a debate over whether Zuko or Sokka is the perfect Avatar fanon bicycle in IRC! And... well, I'll copy and paste the arguments.
< Impulse > Hey, if any character is the fandom bicycle it should be Zuko, not Sokka.
< Zuko > But Sokka has hos in different area codes.
< Kodachi > It's true.
< RubyD > Sokka: Heartbender ??
< Kodachi > Sokka is a Girlbender
< RubyD > go planet
< Impulse > Which is true! But Zuko has the one thing that trumps all of Sokka's charm when it comes to uncomprehensible pairings. Zuko is a prime candidate for hurt/comfort fic
< Michi > argh, I hate comfort sex fic.
< Kodachi > Well, Sokka has THE MOON
< Michi > I AM SO SAD, SO OBVIOUSLY WE MUST BONE NOW.
( So I decided to test my argument for Sokka's status with a little writing exercise. )

Let's permissions-gathering love~!
Nov. 8th, 2007 02:28 amSo! Ty Lee is a very special girl. So special she requires a couple of permissions things? Why yes indeed, so let's get right down to it!
1. Can Ty Lee see your aura?
I still haven't exactly figured out how I'm playing this, but. Basically, to paraphrase her bio on the official Avatar site, Ty Lee is so "in touch with the universe" that she can see your aura/feel your chi and... basically get an idea as to your mood and/or general mindstate, which seems to be expressed via colors (so basically, it's like everyone has their own personal mood-ring that she can choose to look at if she so wishes). Like, for example she proudly proclaims in her first appearance in canon that her aura is incredibly pink, and conversely Mai's aura is really drab and gray since Mai is an emo goth ninja and all that, so that should give you a basic idea of how it works.
... so basically, I'm not sure I'll actually have her use this all that much? Certainly not all the time and she'll probably mostly make off-handed remarks about it. But it still seems like the sort of thing I should get permissions for in case there are things she absolutely should not be allowed to see. SO. First of all, can she see your aura? And if so, is there anything incredibly special that I should be aware of that would make your aura distinctly different and/or special? Inquiring minds wish to know (plus, a general description of your characters' general disposition/color if you can think of any would be wonderful but not necessary; this site is pretty much awesome to use as a reference for that if you want)!
2. Can Ty Lee ignore your personal space bubbles entirely?
... yes. ALSO SHE'S KIND OF FULL OF BADTOUCH. Or. Well. Ty Lee is an incredibly affectionate person if she likes you enough; she's really big on hugging people for no good reason, for example, and moreover is quick to flirt with people, like. All the time. So if you're on her good side (and... given how upbeat she is most people will probably be on her good side) it's entirely possible that she'll be inclined towards hugging you, draping on you, and generally trying to occupy as much of your attention as possible. Buuut there are probably cases where she really, really shouldn't be doing that, so. Who can she and can't she be super-affectionate towards? Inquiring minds wish to know!
So yeah! Comment here if the spirit moves you and there's stuff I should know, and thanks for bearing with me (ahahaha permissions post written at 2AM)!

Stats and Permissions!
Nov. 5th, 2007 10:11 amAge: It's... never explicitly stated anywhere officially, I don't think! I'm currently going with fourteen.
Height: I... don't know!
Weight: See above. I FAIL AT THIS QUESTION
Medical Info: Very healthy! Has probably lived a charmed life and never been seriously injured despite her lines of work
Eyes: I... think hazel? I'm not sure
Hair: Brown and... probably really long, but always kept in a braid.
Physical traits: Does "too hot for her age" count as a physical trait? Incredibly flexible.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Pretty much anything! She'll cheerfully dismiss "omg you're fictional I know you," and I'm intending to play her from current canon probably, so it's not like she can really be spoiled.
Abilities: O-oh man. So! Ty Lee is an acrobat and incredibly talented/successful one (it's mentioned that people traveled for miles to see her when she was part of the circus), and she's so agile that she can leap into the air, land on a volleyball net, and stay there. She's also a pretty badass martial artist. Her fighting style revolves heavily around hitting her opponent's pressure points which, depending on how she does it, can either incapacitate you or block your chi/chakra/bending/all that. There'll be a permissions meme regarding this in the near future.
Also, she can apparently see your mood/general mindstate by reading your aura. MORE ON THIS IN A FUTURE POST
Notes for the Psychics: Perky perky perky upbeat always look on the bright side of life everything's great and awesome. Also, some deep-rooted issues when it comes to attention and getting it all the time.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Just talk to me first if it's anything big!
Hugging/Kissing/Other Non-Violent Physical Contact: ... yeah she'll probably be the one doing this to YOU there will be permissions for this too in the near future
Maim/Murder/Death: Ah. Probably not? She can take a beating but I'd rather avoid anything bigger than a broken bone or two for the foreeable future.
Cooking: Possibly? But not very well. Her family probably had servants for that, and even at the circus she was apparently the star attraction so there were probably people handling that there too.

Character: Ty Lee
Series: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Character Age: 14
Canon: Avatar: the Last Airbender is the stunning saga of the adventures of Aang (the aforementioned Avatar, a.k.a. Kung-Fu Action Jesus) and His Amazing Friends as they race to bring peace to the world, a smile to the face of every young boy and girl, and so on. Of course, there is no story without conflict and as such the Avatar's quest is opposed by the Fire Nation, a ruthless kingdom seeking to "spread their prosperity to the world" by… well, conquering it, pretty much. Ty Lee, an acrobat/martial artist with an intimate knowledge of how the human body works and which pressure points to hit to make it stop working, just so happens to be on the side of said evil empire, and it's likely that she could be a truly fearsome and imposing enemy... except for the fact that's she's so insufferably nice about everything.
A perennial, incessant optimist, Ty Lee's the kind of person who not only sees the glass half-full, but rather it's half-full of the greatest drink known to man and there's even a cute bendy-straw to sip it with. Moreover, she has the innate ability to manage to attempt to present herself as being a very spiritual, sensitive person whilst at the same time being so incredibly flighty and unsubtle that she has an unfortunate tendency to not filter what she actually says, which tends to reveal the fact that she's more self-absorbed than she'd like to admit. Some of her hobbies and interests include being perky, dispensing fairly superficial new agey advice, being perky, winning friends and influencing people, flirting, and being really, really perky. Despite her tendencies to come off as being rather ditzy and shallow, Ty Lee really does mean well; it's just unfortunate that her good intentions aren't always backed up with anything resembling tact.
Sample Post:
Guys, before we begin I just want to say how totally brave I think you all are for even being here today. After all, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? And it's a problem that I hope this support group can solve with if we can all just work together and promise to try our hardest! After all, you guys may put up a tough, intimidating exterior, but I think that deep down, you're all really good people who are maybe just a little misguided! And besides, it's so nice to meet guys who actually compliment me on my brains, you know?
But really, the problem should be pretty obvious to everyone, right? The bad skin, the gross teeth, the pent-up hostility? You guys have totally got way too much negative energy stored up! I mean, you shouldn't feel bad, it happens all the time, just... not usually to this extent, you know? Normally, you just get frown lines, split ends, and maybe your skin breaks out, but if you don't do anything about it, it might... well, end up like this! Too much negativity is serious business; who knows what'll happen if you let it get worse? But don't worry, I promise I'll help you every step of the way on your road to recovery! After all, what good would being able to think positive be if you can't share it with those in need? Plus, the universe sent me a very distinct message that this is where I'm meant to be today, so here I am! ... well, actually, it was a sign that said "Spiritual Enlightenment at Next Right. P.S., Free Candy!" a couple of miles back. But I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and when it comes to the universe, sometimes you kind of have to read between the lines. A lot.
Now, the next step towards inner peace is through self-discovery. So, what I'd like for everyone to do right now is concentrate on taking a nice, good look at themselves, and then tell the group a bit about who they are and how they feel about themselves. We're all here to listen, it's okay if you want to pour your heart out! ... and, um, I'm looking for something a little more descriptive than the whole, y'know... "grrr arrrrrgh" thing you've been using to respond to almost everything else. That's totally a defense mechanism, guys, and you're using it to mask your true feelings! So, who'd like to go first? Oh, how about you, mister... Grrawwgh, right? You look like you're having a major breakthrough! So, after some soul searching and digging deep inside, what did you come up with?
... um. W-well! That... um, that was a great first try, Grrawwgh, but that's... not exactly the kind of breakthrough I was hoping for. But... points for enthusiasm? Guys, I... did say inner peace and not inner pieces, right?
