FYI, the Southern Tribe at the time was a city not too unlike the Northern; less resplendent and historied, of course. I'm not sure if that matters.<br/><br/>Plot possibility that I am shamelessly hijacking from the beautiful fanfic Memento Mori: (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5432322/1/Memento-Mori) chi-blocking bracelets and anklets made of purified metal so they can't be metalbent, commissioned by Azula and designed (somewhat against her will) by Ty Lee.<br/><br/>If anyone needs to contact me, I'm on YIM very much of the time.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I would see your magic bracelets (I'm not seeing why "purified" metal would be immune to metal-bending) and raise you the possibility of a kind of body brace.  Something that puts constant pressure on the spots that Ty Lee would poke to cause them to be always-poked.  And I would probably say made of wood or bonded beads rather than metal... wood is apparently immune to bending once it's no longer part of a tree, and would be faster to produce.<br/><br/>Though, I question the logic of Azula designing something that she would very easily see as a potential danger to herself.  The body-brace idea has the merit of requiring somebody actually subdue the bender before hand.  That seems like something Azula could more easily take measures to prevent becoming a victim of... not to mention being made of wood already seems to make it less effective against a Fire Bender, and most of those are still loyal to her.
