𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐌𝐀𝐍 , cue part two! if you haven't guessed it yet from another sokka quote- hi it is helia again here with my second muse ZHAO YUANKAI !
very much like seryeong, i give you all but empty pages and measly intro! a small plots page with general connections is available. nevertheless, please feel free to read the below and give this a like if you'd like to thread or plot some connections!
: ̗̀➛ twenty-nine years young , a firebender and lightningbender from the noble house of zhao . many know them to be barbaric . how unfortunate , truly . . . i’ve always found them to be invulnerable . they oft fulfill the duties of an army captain , though i expect them to be present at the 25th agni kai as a spectator . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .
tw: mentions of death
PRESENT
born into the zhao family, yuankai was always surrounded by the belief that strength was the most important thing following honor. the ability to fight and lead was only ever a chance given if one could prove their strength.
yuankai is the person that he is today because of the blood, sweat and tears he's put into every step of his life. every decision - every thought - done so with perfect and planned execution. he turned good into great, and great into grand.
those who trained alongside yuankai in the army knew him to be push limits. however, things changed drastically following the death of his betrothed at age 22. watching your fiance lose not only their honor but their life in a tournament wasn't exactly what someone would sign up for.
after the death of his fiance, everything from yuankai's views on the agni kai to his demeanor in every aspect of life changed completely. he became ruthless. rose through the ranks and pushed to extremes earning himself a hell of a reputation.
PERSONALITY
he's a pretty aloof. has a rbf and the cold personality to go with it but in all honesty has chilled a lot in comparison to his younger years.
what that means is he kind of jokes actually! through sarcasm. but it's very deadpan. everything about him is pretty deadpan tbh.
when it's not work related, yuankai is pretty amicable (as much as he can get). if it's anything work related though, yuankai becomes 'all work and no play'.
PLOTS & CONNECTIONS ( copied from plots page )
yuankai is ruthless. a cold blooded killer. they say nothing in the empire goes unnoticed under the hawk eyes of the military. don’t you say, you should be a little more careful about the things you do in the dark ? ( someone being suspicious )
he has no choice but to be a spectator. after all, the games are a revel for everyone to enjoy are they not? however, yuankai is far from fond of the tournament after losing not only his sibling but his past fiance as well. how pitiful for you . ( a tribute )
the way that he is, yuankai is often misunderstood. a moment of sarcasm flies over heads and a moment of seriousness is misinterpreted. not that it’s your fault - after all, no one is really able to discern the difference in the two when yuankai expresses them. but here you are and here yuankai is, wondering why you stood him up for the dinner he invited you to . ( a friend or acquaintance )
