Oddities:
-Ianzok is left-handed
-Ianzok surprisingly shares many similar traits with his son, Aonani
-For someone who loves fighting, he declines Agni Kais
{Stern, Nurturing, Confident, Loyal}
Ianzok is a very stern and disciplined individual, as he believes it is the right image to portray as the Fire Lord. This also extends to his handling of his son, which has not led to satisfactory results. He expects his orders to be obeyed without second thought, and when he hands out punishments, it will not be revoked without good reason.
He is also a rather nurturing individual, as he has been leading his nation to it's Golden Age. Also, when they were younger, Ianzok was the one who would play with Aonani and his cousin, although they were too young to recall those happy moments.
Ianzok is fairly confident with his prowess. It isn't arrogance, merely confidence that fuels him. He tries to be modest but everyone knows how confident he is. After all, up till this day, Ianzok has never lost any Agni Kais to date, and has actually stopped participating in Agni Kais.
Loyalty is a trait that Ianzok treasures and hopes that his son has. Ianzok is loyal to his nation and his friends, and would never forget a face if he could help it. A prime example is that of Ianzok and the Earth King's relationship, Ianzok will always have his back but expects the same in return.
Ianzok has no met the new Avatar, but believes no matter what, the Avatar can, will and must bring balance back to the world. It is, after all, the role of the Avatar.

Hobbies:
Paisho
Ianzok is a lover of Paisho, a board game that is symbolic to the Order of the White Lotus. He plays it to relieve stress, usually along with a cup of hot tea. Ianzok often talks about how difficult it is to get a hold of the Paisho board nowadays and how not many of the young people play it anymore.
Fighting
Ianzok is a fan of watching fights, and also participating in them as long as he doesn't have to use his bending. Ianzok is rather hotblooded, a trait unknown by others because of the calm image he exudes. When he was younger, he was alot like Aonani in ways his son wouldn't even begin to imagine.
Camping
Ianzok loves camping and often goes out alone to spend some time out there, hunting and meditating. He also began taking Aonani along with him as a way to bond with his son.
ãããããã
Habits:
Airhead
Ianzok can be a bit of an airhead at times. He can have his head so high up in the clouds that he may not even notice when he's broken something by accident. His only way to make up for it is to hand the owner some Fire Nation gold pieces, which often makes for comical effect.
Hair
Similar to his son, Ianzok often runs his hand through his slicked back hair despite having no tangles in it. He does it when he's thinking, amused, embarrassed, agitated, etc.
Youth
Despite his age, Ianzok still has moments where he refuses to admit he is old and ends up doing childish things. This trait is often seen when he interacted with the Earth King and children, where he will make extremely goofy faces for such a stern man.

Strengths:
-Firebending
- Ianzok's fire is of a lighter color than normal fire
- Lightning Bending and Lightning Redirection(The only know individual to have redirected a lightning strike)
- White Sun Ianzok(Ianzok's firebending mastery has reached the ultimate peak. When Ianzok flares up, his chi flows throughout his entire body, causing him to heat up the air around him and produce very dense steam as well as very hot thermals. The visual image of the dense steam around him makes it seem like a white hot aura. Ianzok's flames turn whitish. The steam layer around him also renders him impervious to other firebender attacks, making him the perfect Agni Kai combatant.
This is presumed to be a very powerful variation of the Combustion technique. ***Search Combustion Man and P'Li for more information.)

Ianzok, the only Fire Lord other than Fire Lord Zuko to have ascended the throne at a young age, Zuko at 16, Ianzok at 18. Ianzok was a prodigy firebender even at a young age, quickly surpassing the masters that was assigned to him. He met and fell in love with a waterbender from Republic City named Kenone, much to his parent's chagrin. He also became best friends with an Earthbender, who is now the Earth King. The two fight with great sync, often utilizing Lavabending together, as Ianzok would heat the earth while the Earth King would bend it. This required great sync between the two friends, easily beating solo Lavabenders.
Ianzok began to be known as the 'White Sun' by his opponents presumably when he was 20, though it has been more than 2 decades since they've last seen 'White Sun' Ianzok, as his prowess was soon forgotten and the younger, arrogant Firebenders sees him as merely an old man who is just the Fire Lord. They believe that Ianzok's refusal to participate in Agni Kais whenever he was challenged was proof enough, although it is actually because Ianzok could potentially kill someone or break their spirit for being too powerful to handle that he declines these challenges so often.
Ianzok was an affectionate father, but never really got around to talking with his son, Aonani. He was always caught up with work, trying his best to lead the Fire Nation to greatness, economically and infrastructure. Under his rule, the Fire Nation was at it's Golden Age, but Ianzok's sacrifice for his country meant he lost time to accompany his son, whom he believes Aonani thinks that Ianzok doesn't favour him. Despite this, he was stern and often disliked his son's attitude regarding punctuality as well as Aonani's tendency to let others have second chances, seeing them as weak traits unfit for the heir of the throne.
Ianzok is considered an unofficial member of the White Lotus. Ianzok was offered a place in the Order of the White Lotus, which he respectfully declined in order to fully focus his time and attention on his Nation. Knowing he had no time to train his own son, he allowed an old friend who was also a member of the White Lotus, a Firebending master to train his son, hoping that Aonani would flourish to be as good of a fighter as he was. Unknown to Aonani, Ianzok had given the master specific locations that Ianzok himself had gone to during his training pilgrimage to bring Aonani to assist in the training as well as give his son the view of the land.
When Aonani was thirteen, he lost his mother, and Ianzok, his wife. The lost was devastating to both father and son, although Ianzok always held a strong image to be the unmoving rock of the family. Often times he would cry in the Lord's chambers, holding onto a picture of Kenone. This event would cause Ianzok to realize the fleeting lives of his loved ones, eventually deciding to make up for lost time with his son. When his son's master became sick, Ianzok's immediate order was for him to leave, fearing that the sickness would spread to Aonani. This lost was difficult for Aonani to handle and he disappeared from the palace, leaving Ianzok devastated and broken-hearted.
Ianzok eventually became bedridden throughout the months and was eventually losing the strength to carry on, until his son arrived. Seeing Aonani again was enough for Ianzok to make his recover, gaining vigor and strength just with the presence of his son alone. Ianzok began to eat better and regained his vitality back eventually.
Aonani's accusation that his nephew had been trying to poison him to death, threw Ianzok into confusion at first. Investigating further, he found the truth and in one fell swipe, he banished his nephew from the palace, to live in a small fire nation colony far away. Ianzok also began to loosen the restrictions on Aonani as long as his son promised to assist with the politics, hoping to raise his son to be a successful leader. The two also began to share time together for camping trips where they would hunt together, or attempt to out do each other's kills.
When Aonani was 15, Ianzok believed it was time to release the leash upon his son and let him live his life, although one time, Aonani was gone for far too long that he was declared missing. When Aonani returned, Ianzok revoked his son's freedom for a month before he returned it to him after Aonani proved he was capable.
Now Aonani is almost 18 and the companion of the Avatar, Ianzok has decided to take one step forward in his father-son relationship, thinking of becoming his son's master and teaching him everything Ianzok has ever learned about firebending.
