Talk:Amon/@comment-5109495-20120520000052

My friend and I had a nice long conversation earlier regarding who we think Amon is. I had the theory of it being the little boy from the episode "Zuko Alone" but, there are several flaws to that theory.

1. The little boy would be about 60 now.

2. In my theory the thugs from town went back and killed his family, but after realizing that they were earth benders, that deminished that.

So, I'm thinking that after Ty Lee had joined the Kiyoshi Warriors that she met someone and they got married. They soon became poor and started farming, which fits into place with the "poor farm" setting of Amons childhood. Ty Lee and her husband would have to have a child around 30-35 or so for Amon to be the age he is now. As a child though, Ty Lee would have taught him all she knew. Then Azula would come into play from there. Young Amon would have to learn to take bending away from someone, and the only one of his time that knew anything about it was Fire-Lord Ozi. So I'm thinking Ozi had explained to Young Amon how it had happened, and Ty Lee then created her own version off of the description. Young Amon must have worked on it all his life, to perfect is so easily. The reason I say that Ty Lee had created her own version is because when Aang took away Ozi's bending he set his finger on the forehead AND chest, where Amon only sets his finger upon the benders forehead.

After I made this theory my friend and I argued back and forth. Along with this another theory could be,

This is still in Ty Lee's son:

Young Amon had ended up in the same predicament as Aang had; on the Lion Turtle. My friend told me that the Lion Turtle would only held those good hearted. As a child Amon had no bad intetions, so maybe he ended up like Aang did, and learned from the turtle, but again modified it better to his abilities.
