Bending Mirror and Antagonist Themes
Seeing as two of the options were tied until the very end, we'll have both of the themes this month hopefully revitalize the community quicker.

Rules
1. You may participate in both of them, but please wait until you've either been stamped on the first application or five days have passed to post the second application.

2. Anyone who has originally been stamped as an antagonist has three options:
X) Fill out the theme application to see if they get the same character.
Y) Fill out the theme application and request to not be stamped as the same character again.
Z) Fill out a slight variant of the original application (see below) to see which non-antagonistic character you're most like. (You'll receive a stamp, but this one will not count towards any stamped list)
-You may also do a combination of Z and X/Y, but the stamped/five day rule still applies.

3. Yes, the three links are required. Since the community occasionally slips into inactivity, they have become necessary to let members gather enough votes. Voting should be easy for at least one of these themes, so you will not be stamped until the links are added.

4. Put the name of the theme you're applying for in the subject title to keep them separated.

5. Please tag your posts with "needs votes." This will help you gather votes quicker.

6. You can use any of the bending and sub-bending styles when voting in the Bending Mirror theme. (Ex: Sandbender, Lightningbender [they'll look more composed than their Firebending counterparts], etc. )

Also, since several have asked about participating in the matchmaking and regular bending themes March will be another restamp month (along with a new theme), but if you can't wait for the bending theme, the application at avatarstate is for the same purpose.

Zuko
Primary points of antagonism: Angst, being driven by "honor," stalking Aang
Zhao (The Corporal/Admiral from the first season.)
-Stalking Aang, having no self-control, being obsessed with himself and fame
Ozai
-Being an abusive parent, ruthlessly ordering the destruction of towns/lives, trying to take over the world
Hahn (Yue's finance from The Siege of the North.)
-Being a jerk, wanting to marry for "the perks," reminding people of jocks
Koh (the face stealing Spirit from The Siege of the North.)
-Sealing faces, looking like a giant centipede
Azula
-Everything.
Mai
-Being Azula's friend, ~~making Zutara shippers angry~~, having a distinct lack of emotion
Mongke (Leader of the musical/destruction bringing group The Rough Rhinos.)
-Creating Jet, burning whole villages
Master Yu (Originally the Earthbending Academy teacher from Bitter Work.)
-Money driven, stalking Toph, being too gullible
Xin Fu (Originally the Earthrumble Tournament Owner from Bitter Work.)
-Money driven, stalking Toph, having little patience
Ghashiun (That giant-cow-stealing Sandbender from The Library/Appa's Lost Days.)
-Stealing Appa, thievery in general, lying
*Background note: He cares for his 'own people,' but he has become increasingly distant since his mother died of skin cancer.
Long Feng (The head of the Dai Li.)
-Manipulation, brainwashing, reminding people of Big Brother
Combustion Man
-Doing whatever he's told, being a mute, causing "BOOM(S)!" with his mind
Sozin
-Genocide, betrayal, starting a 100 year war
Hama (The woman from The Puppetmaster.)
-Bloodbending, being driven by revenge, making Katara angry
Yon Rha
-Killing Katara's mother, having a terrifying mother of his own

Note: all information on Ghashiun was taken from the official Nick site.
Note #2: I went strictly with the characters who come off as antagonistic towards the main party in the majority of the episodes they've been in. Jet, although seriously considered, spends more time helping Team Avatar than trying to kill them.

This application from a month ago is in need of a tie-breaker; it's strongly encouraged that you vote on it first.

	Did you purposely decide to make Ty Lee not an option, or..? ;] (Reply to this)(Thread)

	the_404_error 2008-02-09 04:41 am UTC (link)
	It was intentional. While she is technically an antagonist, I was afraid her overall lack of a "villainous" persona would decrease the novelty of it. Ty Lee is one of the most commonly voted characters as well... which would probably end up producing millions of Ty Lees for this theme. (Reply to this)(Parent)
