Warning: The following paragraphs might be a bit... negative. I'm an outcast in every way imaginable, from being a KatAanger to a non-smoker.

I am Aryck1095. Jedi Knight, Council Spectre, Champion Of Cyrodiil, SPARTAN-II Super-Soldier, Commander in the KatAang Rebellion, and many other titles from my imagination that I am too lazy to list. I left reality a long time ago for the mythical world my Imagination, cuz reality sucks.

If you know me from DeviantArt, you know that i'm strongly against ZuTara. Katara and Aang's relationship is so real and so RIGHT, and it's a great aspect of the show, and I don't like ithat so many fan-girls want it changed for something "hawter". Besides which, ZuTara makes absolutely no sense, and many of those who ship don't really seem to care about the story. Just ZuTara.

I really hate the way they give the show bad reviews just because their ship didn't happen. I also dislike people who complain about so-called "filler episodes". Come on, Avatar without filler episodes is like an RPG without side-quests. They may no advance the story, but they are nevertheless entertaining. They also flesh out the Avatar universe, showing you what life is like in the Avatar world as compares to life in our world.

Here are my favorite Avatar filler episodes:

The Headband
The Painted Lady
Sokka's Master
Bato, Of The Water Tribe
The Cave Of Two Lovers
The Runaway
The Puppetmaster
The Boiling Rock
The Firebending Masters
The Southern Raiders

Book 3 has the most fillers of any of the seasons, but it also has the best.

Another thing that bothers me about the canon!ZuTara fandom is their extreme worship of the ZuTara ship. I've come across some grotesque pictures of Aang or Mai be murdered. I've heard people say some very disturbing things, like Aang deserves to die. Other go as far as to call ZuTara a "religion". Really, are they serious? This is about ENTERTAINMENT, not a religious conflict! These extremities are what caused me to give up ZuTara. I used to like it- a LOT- I even believed in canon!ZuTara for a short time, but all this hate towards KatAang and MaiKo was taking it way too far.

Some ZuTarians are as arrogant as to post their fan-fictions in the KatAang section here at FanFiction.net. Unlike DeviantArt, FF.net has a very usefull Character Fulter, so which is good for the Avatar fandom; it makes it so KatAang and ZuTara stories don't get mixed together like the works on DA. But some ZuTarians still post Anti-KatAang fics under the Katara & Aang section on this site, as some immature way of smiting us. Usuallly they're Kataang breakup stories where Katara get's tired of Aang or pretending to love him, and Zuko is usually left out of the story to justify it being in the KatAang section. "Technically" it is centered around Katara and Aang. Well, "technically" the story is aimed towards a ZuTara audience and there for should be in the ZuTara section. I think that's being perfectly reasonable.

In addition to Avatar, I am also a big player of Halo 3. I play almost every day, I have attained a rank of Brigadier in Halo 3 matchmaking, and have the highest scores of all my Friends List in Firefight and Campaign. My favorite playlist is Rumble Pit, though I also enjoy Fiesta, Mythic Brawl, Lone Wolves, 7 On 7 FFA, and Living Dead. I Prefer FFA playlists above all else, though I also play some Team SWAT and Social Big Team, and I prefer to play social most of the time, unless I'm trying to level up. Social has more maps, more gametypes, and is less serious since you don't have to worry about rank.

The ZuTarians of Halo 3 matchmaking are the MLG Wannabes. These pathetic, immature jerks whine and complain to players who use vehcles, power weapons, Assault Rifles, or anything besides the so-called "pro" weapons, the BR and the sniper rifle. They whine every time they get killed by anything but a BR, abd their File Share are typically loaded with stupid "Bad Kid" screenshots that they send to everyone who beats them weapons or tactics they dub illegitimate. If you act like this, then you suck at Halo. Don't be mad, we all know it.

I am a bit more open-minded. I use evey weapon and vehicle available, ARs, dual-wields, BRs shotties and snipes, Warthogs, Choppers, you name it. Halo's unique and diverse weapon selection is part of what makes the game so much fun. I like playing custom FFA games and Co-op campaign as well as Firefight. I usually play matchmaking alone. I enjoy taking screenshots, and building simple map variants.

As you can guess, I'm an avid Avatar fan. Avatar is one of the best fantasy epics I've ever seen, along with Star Wars, Halo, Mass Effect, and Harry Potter. While I do watch Avatar episodes on occasion and own all the DVDs, I mostly read Avatar fan-fiction, which is, for now, the Expanded Universe of Avatar, much like the numerous Star Wars novels and video games. I steer clear of ZuTara fan-fiction and keep a sharp eye out for KatAang, as well as original stories with non-Mary-Sue characters. Unfortunate that most of the fandom is focused on shipping, as I'd like to see more original stuff. That would really draw out the life of this fandom. I have some original ideas of my own, which can be seen on DeviantArt, but I'm not the best writer. I can form stories in my head, word for word, but I just can't seem to get them down on paper the way I do with drawings. Though I do make story maps, mapping out plot point by point, and I've got a dozen of them on my computer.

I love making up my characters for fantasy epics, including Avatar. My signature character is Aryck, though his name differs depending on the setting, though it always begins with an "A", an he always wears the same colors: Light brown and black.

My Avatar character, Aryck (formerly Ahlan) is a firebender from the Si-Wong Desert who left after his best friend was killed, and now wonders the globe several years after the war as a mercenary. he wears a sleveless tunic and uses a pair of Dragon-Tooth Shortswords, like the Dragon sword sold at BrickForge (formerly Armothe's Lair). he rides on the back of a Komodo Raptor, a desert carnivore which is a cross between a dragon and a Veloceraptor, in a similar way to the Komodo Rhino. I have yet to draw a picture of this creature, but will some day. I've been carefully sculpting Aryck's character to make him as non-Mary-Sue as possible, and have yet to be satisfied.

Other than Avatar, I still have love for Star Wars, my first fandom. It has lost some of it's appeal over the years: The Clone Wars cartoons aren't all that they could be, and the lack of decent video games is another factor... I've wanted a new Star Wars RPG since I played KOTOR, one with a complex character cutomization system and facial editor like Elder Scrolls, a better romantic sub-lot like Mass Effect (or better yet, Avatar, but I think that's asking too much) and a real-time combat system that combines the melee of Elder Scrolls with the shooting action of Halo, as well as starfighter and vehicle combat, speeder bike chases, and large, open, and diverse planets to explore. Yeah, it sounds like a pipe dream, but hey, I can dream, right?

I have a huge selection of video games, including Halo, KOTOR, Elder Scrolls IV, all three Avatar games, Far Cry 2, and more. I play video games by day, and read, draw, and write at night, grabbing sleep whenever, though usually throughout the morning. I also have a lot of books, though I haven't been reading them as often since I found this site. My interest in Harry Potter has died a bit since it ended, since the final book was a bit... lacking, for some reason. Or maybe it was just because my interest in Avatar was growing when I got the final book. For her to regain my interest, J.K. Rowling really needs to expand her universe beyond Harry Potter. Like Avatar, it has a lot more potential.

I myself am working on my own Post-Apocalyptic universer called "Atlantis:New Earth", which I may one day bring to FictionPress once I've developed it more. You can read about it at DeviantArt, if you're interested.

Beyond FanFiction, DeviantArt, and video games, I have no life. I'm not ashamed to admit it. There's nothing for me in reality. I have no friends beyond my mom and dad, my sister is an egocentric, pot-smoking loser, and I left school several years ago, have been shunned by my classmates simply because I was different from them. Even the teachers were against me, handing me punishments for every little thing I did, like falling asleep in class or missing homework, while not so much as lifting a finger when I was picked on, or when people smoked in the bathrooms or sold drugs off the campus.

I hate drugs, smoking, and alcohol. It's stupid and disgusting, and it sickens me that school staff just let people do it because they're too lazy to do anything about it. I hate people who think they're better than others for reasons like money and popularity, and I hate popular music, especially that no-talent pothead loser, Kurt Cobain, and anyone like him. I respect those with artistic talent, and those with genuine compassion and caring for others. Finally, I hate dogs. But I love cats, and have two of them, Max and Fred. My dad melts at the mere sight of these cats, especially Max, giving them tons of wierd nicknames and acting like a total goof-ball. Yeah, I know that was random...

I am between 5 and 6 feet, though I may be over 6, I'm not sure. I'm very tall, towering over my mom and sister, but skinny. I always dress in unmarked clothes ususally in black, grey, or tan, and I always wear a hoody sweat-shirt. Always. I wear one to bed, even. I'm an outcast for being so absorbed in fantasy worlds, and my dislike of many popular things, including sports, drugs, and common music.

Oh yeah, and I'm 18.

People I Hate:
Just some jerks that I have encountered on the 'net, Xbox Live, and in my own life. Full names have been witheld. Though they doubtlessly deserve the humiliation. Particularly the ones at the bottom.

Kiba: The Foul-Tempered Fanboy (Avatar Fandom/Shipping)
Very short-tempered, foul mouth ZuTarian that doesn't know when to shut up. He used post pointless and rude comments on KatAang stories and artwork here FF.net DeviantArt. I've argued with him several times, he's very close-minded and egocentric, and refuses to admit when he's wrong. Doesn not seem to care about the Avatar storyline. Very immature, curses a lot. Racist, compares Avatar shipping to religions that he dislikes. Haven't seen him in a while. Maybe he finally grew up.

Alejandro: Spiteful MLG Wannabe (Halo 3/Custom Games)
Jealous, failed Bungie Day '09 participant. Encountered during Custom Gams session shortly after being awarded the coveted Recon armor for doing well in the Bungie Vs. The World playlist. He was part of my buddy Jango's party for Bungie Day, entered the playlist in hopes of being matched against Bungie, but gave up after only a few games. When I met him he challenged me to a 1v1 on Guardian. I won, 26- 7, and he was not accepting of it, calling me a "cheater" for using non-MLG power weapons, Overshields, and dual-wields, before leaving abruptly, saying he had better things to do. Arrogant, close-minded, spiteful individual. No tolerance for those who do not play by MLGs "BR-no-AR" rules, and a hypocrite as well. Was seen attempting to use the shotgun and Camo in our 1v1, what he called "scrub weapons" every time I used them.

Teachers/Principals: Lazy, Ignorant School Staff (Local School District, Hometown)
Unqualified, government employed public school staff. Refuse to deal with real problems plaguing the school, namely bullying and drug trafficing. I was contstantly being picked on by classmates for being a little eccentric, got into a fight or two (lost all of them, not physically adept) and they said instead of fighting, I should contact a teacher and let them deal with it. I did just that, and they didn't so much as call the kids up to the office, simply writing me off every time. Did not acknowledge my complaints of kids smoking in the bathrooms, but punished me for minor issues, such as missed homework assignments, falling asleep, or so help me, reading a BOOK during class. Handed me detentions for said "offenses" to maintain the facade that they were doing their job, thus ensuring that they were paid. No caring whatsoever for the students they are charged with. Unreliable, self-centered, and lazy.
