[ Character's Name ] : Uncle Iroh
[ Character's Age ] : 64
[ Series ] : Avatar: The Last Airbender

[ History ] :
http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Iroh

[ Personality ] :
Overall, Iroh is a kind, laid back man, who pretty much just wants to sit back and enjoy life as he gets older. He has a general love for most everyone, and will help almost anyone with their problems indescriminately (such as when he helped Toph realize she didn’t really want to leave the group, in canon).

He also has a strong sense of humour and fun, knowing that if you can’t have fun, then life would turn boring quickly. He is not above laughing at himself either, and won’t hesitate to crack jokes about his own age. He’s also displayed a talent for using his age to make people think he’s weak for both his own advantage (though against his enemies), as well as his own personal amusement.

That isn’t to say Iroh is never serious. He treats everyone with respect (though with a certain level of sarcastic irony, when it’s someone he doesn’t like much, or agree with), and has a strong sense of honour and dignity in battle.

His calm demeanor is nonexistent when you put someone he loves in danger, or when you’re doing something he absolutely disagrees with (or doing bad things to tea and also spirit fish), and for someone who doesn’t look it, he can most definitely kick your butt in a duel, and he will do so with grace, and honour. And just downright old man badassery, because he even though he can do it gracefully, he can also be extremely terrifying just by how strong he is.

Iroh is also very cunning when he has to be, both in battle and when he's captured. He's a brilliant strategist, which is only natural considering that he was a general in the Fire nation army before his exile.

Iroh also has a near obsessive love for Tea, it is his favorite drink by far and the man can definitely drink a lot of it. He also takes it very, very seriously and is not above taking it personally should someone insult it. Or brew it wrong. Especially if you brew it wrong, and he'll probably tell it to your face if you do, unless you're Zuko.

[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Strengths:
- Brewing Tea
- courage
- Loyalty
- Firebending
-Patience
-Giving wisdom metaphorically and also normally

Weaknesses
-self sacrificing
-unfaultering loyalty for his family; he would do anything for them, or at least mostly Zuko
- He's kind of old, which could definitely be considered a weakness even though he can still kick ass and take names

[ Other Important Facts ] :
The only thing I can think of is that he... is a firebender! Which means he uses martial arts to create fire.

[ Sample ] :
Okay! While I know that these are from an AU game, I think they're pretty valid samples, since his personality is unchanged and he's still very much the same person as he is in canon; the only difference being he's a teacher at Hogwarts. I think they convey his voice well.
