RP prep blatherings

[weirdlet]

I'm working on bio's to get in on the ground floor of a new multi-fandom RP, and it occurs to me again, just how much I loathe trying to summarize.  I can usually get things out in a million words or two, but actually getting the relevant information into the format of, say, a few paragraphs when it just doesn't seem to be anything less than an essay in my own words (I have to show my work!  I can't shake the feeling that I'll be refused if I don't show my work!  Damn you, middle-school math!)- a Herculean task.

Zuko, you darling bastard, and your sister beside you- stop being so bloody complicated.  Every time I think I've distilled the entirety of your histories into something, I realize there are yet more aspects that need filling in.
