This project analyzes the undying appeal for one of Avatar’s most notable characters: Prince Zuko. It discusses the already clear and established appeal for his character among fans. To complement this conscious appeal, it proposes there is an unconscious appeal for Zuko that the audience is unaware of. Using Kleinian theory discussing childhood development, there is a new angle of relatability that can be explored between viewers and Prince Zuko’s character. Specifically, Zuko experiences a shift and oscillation in Kleinian positions: the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions. Zuko also demonstrates what Klein defines as seeking reparation. With this explanation, an unconscious perspective of appeal is revealed. This appeal is due to viewers relating to the struggles he endures because they lived through them as well.

Node is a GM-less tabletop roleplaying game. The lack of a Game Master was done to allow for a more flexible style of play that would encourage more collaboration. Node's general theme is about the continuous march of time and the ways the very earth shifts its landscape. Throughout Node, players will create stories about the people and places they once knew in both past and present in order to better understand both themselves and the world they reside in.
