I don't think Rube is being a bad person, he's just playing the role he's been given, and playing it to the best of his abilities. Of everyone, save perhaps Damien in more recent comics, he's the one who gets most into character. Azula just so happens to be an unpleasant such and such, and was written that way by Damien. Note that Rube's much less antagonistic when DMing Damien's 'Zuko Alone' session.

Well, it's not what he's doing IC, it's his OOC comments. Manny wants the game to be immersive, so he's making the players suffer when the characters do, and Rube is helping his brother. (It's a wonder Manny didn't throw a glass of ice water on Lex each time Sokko fell in the water while talking to the princess.) Nice people normally don't say things like this. That's pretty evil! And funny. As with the romance scenes in Darths and Droids, the distinction between what's IC and OOC is becoming very blurred at times. While OOC, Rube is acting evil, like Azula, at least during the current pages.

I'm loving all of the "That's not how roleplaying works!"
