Some people are born with soulmarks. Zuko has them, but his grandfather burned them off because they "make you weak."
Team Avatar has a few things to say about that.

Summary
Wolverine was an unsociable person. Kurt knew this. What he didn't know was how he was supposed to deal with his unsociable nature when they couldn't step more than a foot apart.
______
In which Kurt and Logan get separated from the rest of the X-Men during a sentinel fight and end up handcuffed together in the middle of the woods. In order to get back in one piece they're going to have to learn something about each other... and maybe a bit about themselves in the process.- Language:

Summary
It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.
The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.
So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…
Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.
Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

Summary
Not every lie is malicious or in reverence to entrap a listener in a bond they can never escape unless they are told the truth. Sometimes its just a wall meant to keep things out rather than in. Felwinter tended to be right, even when he hoped he wasn't. Was that explanation not enough for you?
"I am Felwinter, I need no introductions."
Set after Season of the Arrivals and during late Witch Queen Expansion
