About You!
Personality: Huey is a highly intelligent 10-year-old boy, who rarely smiles or laughs, and recognizes and detests the absurdities (both obvious and perceived) of the society in which he lives. His cynicism often touches upon subjects such as politics, religion, the media, businesses and corporations, bending culture and society as a whole. Tending to be obstinate in both manner and speech, Huey has demonstrated a depth of understanding that would seem to surpass his young age, such as knowing roughly what is going to happen in the future based on the actions and personalities of the people involved. For example, Huey accurately predicts what will become of Riley's candy-selling racket, going so far as to give him a bulletproof vest that eventually saves his life. Huey has an amazing fighting style seen through his fights with Riley throughout his life. Huey is a strong individual simply due to both his combat abilities and intellect.
Oratorically gifted, Huey has shown the ability to seize and hold the attention of entire crowds of people when he wants to do so. He uses this gift during individual interactions as well, during which he can gain a desired effect depending on his intention. In addition, he is also shown to understand and speak Mandarin. Huey is depicted as owning a large collection of books and other reading materials, as he often reads the newspaper, watches the televised news and otherwise makes a point to keep up with current events.
He also demonstrates an aptitude for writing fiction in the form of script writing (he wrote a play entitled The Adventures of The Blind Swordsmen). He has also written poignant letters and emails to public figures imploring them to support various political causes. He has started petitions, made and handed out flyers, and created and edited his own newspaper titled The Free Huey World Report. He uses such media to express his own opinions and ideas, though their impact is generally limited given their nature and his minimal resources.
Shown to be a highly skilled martial artist, Huey oftentimes demonstrates on various occasions an ability with nunchaku, katana, bo staff, as well as hand to hand combat that far surpasses the expected capabilities of a 10-year-old. Though he has won several fights against Riley, a pair of theater guards, a non – bender on one occasion. Huey regularly beats Riley with ease in their fights despite the fact Riley often uses objects such as frying pans, or golf clubs in their fights implying Huey is very disciplined and skilled against armed opponents. As shown, his style appears to be a mixture of several forms of Kung-Fu, Karate, and Ninjitsu…
Furthermore, he feels emotion and has shown a capacity for empathy and warmth towards those he cares about but, generally, he does not let his real emotions and feelings be outwardly shown. This being because he has another side to his personality that very few people have lived to see and tell about and that being…
Initially, Huey could be labeled as someone who seems similar to a kid but different at the same time; cheeky, cheerful, and full of mischievous ideas. He is confident in his abilities, often being humble about it. Huey is also known for having a sweet tooth, he loved everything sweet. His favorite snack is hard candy, specifically anything apple or strawberry flavored.
However, his ruthlessness and aptitude in killing shows the other side of him — deadly, violent, and bloodthirsty. Having been tortured since birth, Huey has been conditioned to possess extreme tolerance for pain. Huey possesses extraordinary agility, and that makes him a one-man killing machine — not one to be trifled with.
Furthermore, Huey is a sadist who lacks empathy for people of whom seem weak, since he lives by his father's philosophy ("The strong survive and the weak die"). He enjoys putting his enemies through great pain, both physically and emotionally. He has no qualms about killing innocent people to get what he wants and rationalizes his behavior with his father's old creed.
Huey loves to fight and holds special respect for strong opponents. His love of battle has occasionally inspired him to take actions that would incite more hatred against the bending nation, in the hopes of being able to put down the name even more sometimes simply for fun. He is also known to be blunt, which others perceive as being condescending; this in turn leads others to distance themselves away from him. Also, sometimes acting rather opportunistic and seems to lack any heroic ideals.
In addition, Huey’s true nature leads to that of a more entirely self-serving, self-absorbed and selfish being because he does whatever he likes as long as it pleases him in some way. His insatiable love for spilling the blood of powerful fighters in combat serves to fuel his sadistic desires. In order for them to grow to their full potential (so as to improve the pleasure of killing them later), Likewise, he grows excited to meet any new characters he deems worthy of fighting or anyone with potential to be a good fighter and entertain him in the future.
With his manipulative and self-centered nature, Huey is essentially a sociopath. While he does like people he has stated that for him, what is valuable one day could easily become trash the next, and he will not hesitate to kill anyone should they not meet his standards. He does not care for what has happened in the past as he is only interested in what could be amusing to him in the future or present. While Huey’s nature tends to be malevolent, he isn't an indiscriminate killer. While he has no problems killing anyone regardless of age or sex, he only kills people who are in his way or people he deems worthy. As such his character is more simply amoral than flat out evil.
However, Huey appears on paper at least to be rather serious and coldhearted person which one could say stems from his hellish training that his family forced him through but truly there is good in every evil no matter how small that good may be, therefore, Huey’s more positive side is one of musical compassion and a natural playful way of addressing people usually changing his form of speaking every once in a while simply to throw people off to make their conversation’s more interesting to him. Though his musical compassion simply stems from his only outlet as a child that wasn’t combat orientated, therefore, he takes great pride in knowing that he has great skills in playing the violin, piano, and harp. Usually playing one of these instruments at some point in the day and this point in time is when his personality takes a rather drastic change when around family and friends and trusted subordinates he becomes… Easy going person who tended to be a pervert from time to time. Despite this new change, he was careful not to let this get in the way of battle when fighting females. His new playful and optimistic nature shows even during fights when music is playing, and he will often tease his associates and brag about his abilities (or at least brag about his musical abilities.).
Likes: Huey is an individual that has a long and wide range of different types of likes which most of them revolve around that of what everyone holds dear their loved ones, favorite food, family, friends, and of course just life itself, however, he truly enjoys only a limited number of those things truly only caring about things that fill him with joy like fighting, training, music, hard candy, and the occasional relaxation session simply taking a moment to look at himself in the presence or take a nap other than those few things mentioned above all his likes are very selective and only time based therefore, to truly understand what all this man likes you simply need to have a conversation with him.
Dislikes: Huey however dislikes man things such as the world that he lives in now, the situations that he has been put through in his past, and sometimes his little brother named Riley. However, his dislikes aren’t like many people to that he dislikes them for a negative reason minus the world that he lives in but rather he simply dislikes the ignorance about the situations and the people that he dislikes. Also going into the fact that he hates boring things the way he views an object also is simply determined by the simply though of ‘Do I find them or it amusing or not.’
History: Though Huey isn’t truly a man that likes to linger in his past there truly isn’t much that can be said about him as a person for his past seeing as he has only been around for a mere ten years. Truly the only noteworthy mentions for his young man adventure through life would be his training as a young boy and how he was always pitted against is brother in live combat for training being tasked with fighting him unarmed while his younger brother was trained in the arts of wielding weapons as him main focus of combat whereas Huey was trained in the arts of bending and hand to hand combat with a side specialty in sword fighting. Though it wasn’t simply a training for Huey to become stronger but rather to help him focus his Seismic Sense learning to truly analyze ever bit of his surrounding through the art of combat for in those mere moments it was truly the picture you can see of your surrounding and your ability to focus on them and your enemy to see if you are going to survive or be yet another waste of human tissue destined to die in combat. However, he only went through the torture his father called training because he was born blind and to his father that was a sense of weakness and therefore, he had to train the weakness out of him and replace it with strength forcing him to be able to focus through all types of horrible pains and agonies pushing him further beyond his limits mentally and physically so that even with a blind son he would be called strong and be viewed as a truly powerful bender, swordsmen, and simply mere man… So with that there is Huey’s past just never ending trail over the past ten years simply proving himself to his father that he is smart, strong, and can handle himself when that horrid man in his opinion is gone not truly knowing the true nature of his father intents….
