It's tricky to write a most special character in a huge, high stakes story, but it's also what makes many of them interesting.

Boring characters can come in all flavors, and so can Most Special Characters. It's a correlation/causation differentiation that needs to be made.

his bending. He's the last surviving ambassador of his entire culture. He's the most special character. He's not bland and, as the one who defeats the Firelord, it makes sense he's the main character.

Sure, there are tons of bland main characters, but that's not because of their "specialness".

who save the world, it makes sense for the strongest or most intelligent or otherwise Most Special Character to be the main character.

Aang is the last Airbender. He's a prodigy who got his master's tattoos as a child. He's the only person in the entire world who can use more than one element in

I don't know if it's something that would help you, but when my wife needs to get an IV put in she asks them to use her hand instead because it's easier to find a vein there
