But there is the belief that those that commit evil acts often can and will be shown the error of their ways and defect to the side of morality and lawfulness instead of lawlessness.

Zuko: He was an antagonist in the beginning of the first series, but then slowly but surely, he learned the error of his ways and defected to the side of right and restored balance to the Four Nations.

The Mechanist: He was just an inventor that was trying to give his only son, who was left unable to walk after a natural disaster, a fresh start at a new life, until he was forced into helping the corrupted Fire Nation by making weapons for them. But then Team Avatar found out and he helped them defend the Northern Air Temple, redeeming himself for his past crimes. From good…to bad…to good again.

As for the bison, any and all living creatures that have the capacity for thought and action, able to choose to aid or rebel, to help or refuse, is sentient and able to make their own decisions and have feelings. If we say that bison don't have feelings, is that true of dogs and cats? What about dragons or lion turtles? Are they incapable of forming attachments? Why would Fang, Roku's dragon, decide to protect him to the death, even when it was all for naught? Why would Appa, Aang's bison, have memories of the time from when it was younger and met Aang for the first time and became his lifetime companion? What about Bosco, the Earth King's pet bear? When the King left to travel the world, the bear went with him.

And as for my character Jaeger, I believe in his character alignment of neutral good being the right choice. He will abide by the laws to a degree, but will be against cruel or unfair laws because the good people should be able to live peaceful lives without conflict from those that either disobey the laws or abuse them for their own gain. He will fight for the defenseless against the strong and ensure that justice is served in a proper way that doesn't require any unfairness. Relieve bad benders of their bending, lock them away for life, and treat bad non-benders like any ordinary criminals that need to answer for their crimes.
