Avatar Rp.

[center][i][color=f9ad81]In these dire times, we rely on hope and the unnerving will of others to push us into a new era, But such ideas cannot be without consequence. For when there is hope, there is a force that brings despair, and when there are those who fight for a just cause, there is an enemy who blocks that righteous path. In these dire times, we can no longer wait for others to prevail. We must band together and fight for this just cause ourselves, it is we who need to rise up and bring down these forces of evil. May the spirits guide you brothers and sisters, for your efforts will not be in vain![/color][/i]

It has been 6 months since Avatar Korra passed away during the Battle of 7 Moons. The battle was somewhere deep in an Earth Nation forest, a battle hard fought between two powerful forces of nature. A group of extremists had been traveling across the world attacking and capturing the world leaders, and nobody had the power to stand in their way. When Avatar Korra stepped up and lead an assault team on their HQ, the extremists were taken by surprise and had nearly been wiped out completely. Victory was in their reach, until the extremists called for reinforcements. This second wave was not so easily won. The battle lasted for 8 days and seven nights, neither side having anytime to rest or recuperate. But on that 8th day, the Avatar attempted to ambush the leader of the extremists by using a stealthy approach. Nobody can say for certain what happened to the avatar in the extremist's HQ, but when she appeared in front of her assault team she stated their victory over the extremists, moments later she collapsed and fell to the ground, passing away during her rush to a healer. Her cause of death is still unknown. The mystery behind her demise spread like wild fire across the media stations, soon to be gobbled up by the public, most of which called it a conspiracy. Over the next few months the once famous Avatar Korra, The one who brought the spirits back, the one who Opened the Third Spirit portal, was now no longer revered. Her name has been dirtied by the public and she is now looked at as a conspirator with these extremists.

But there are a few people who don't believe these stories. Some people know that as the Avatar, their will to bring balance to the world will not waver because of some morally wrong ideals. These people know that the Avatar would never be affiliated with this kind of evil. But the numbers of the public that look down on the Avatar are heavily out weighing those who can see the truth. It wont be long before the Avatar will be an outcast and no one will want their help.

 A few weeks ago, there has been an invasion on the Fire Nation Capital. The reports suggest there were only a few men who attacked and they left shortly after, But not before capturing the Fire lord and making their way across the waters. There have been rumors and witnesses who say they are traveling around Fire Nation territory and heading towards the earth kingdom. With Avatar Korra dead, according to the cycle of the Avatars, the next Avatar will be of Earth Republic decent. The next Avatar will still be a newborn baby, if they are even born at all yet, leaving the world defenseless against evil. In these dire times, without the aid of the Avatar hope seems lost. Are these the same extremists who killed Avatar Korra? Are they heading towards the Earth Republic to capture the next Avatar, or to Ba Sing Se to capture another World Leader? With these questions floating around, the public is scared and the armies of the nations don't know what to do except hide their leaders.

this threat cannot continue to loom over the world, letting it fall into an era of despair and fear. It will take people, no, Heroes to stand up against the extremist's attacks and fight for their way of life, fight for the Avatar...Fight for hope.

Hey guys just a quick rundown of the plot for this Rp. So basically, there is a group of extremists that have been going around attacking and capturing world leaders and very important people. The avatar is still very young and is no help to the world at the moment, so the public has to take matters into their own hands completely relying on themselves instead of the Avatar. You will be part of this group of people that are trying to take down the extremists and bring balance back to the world. This Rp will mostly be revolving around the characters traveling the world, honing their skills, and eventually bringing down the bad guys.

[hider=The Plot]The Plot.

As you know, the premise of the roleplay is to band together and take down the extremists that threaten your way of life. This will be the main goal that is understood by everyone, but I also want to give you guys freedom to expand and explore the world outside of this task.

So, you have the option to be a probender or be apart have the air nomads that go around helping people. You could be a fire bender busker who travels the world making money off shows. It's up to you! I encourage you to branch off from the main story and create sub-plots of your own.  I have a few ideas floating around that will push your characters to accomplish more than just the task at hand.  I feel like this will give the world more depth, and it will allow you to do more with your character. I know that if everyone is scattered across the world the rp will feel like it might move a little slowly, but once you get into the groove of things everything will come together and make something fantastic.[/hider]

[hider=Sub-Bending]Sub-Bending

Regarding the different branches of elements you can bend I'm pretty lenient in terms of what you can use.  Although, I do want to mention that having the ability to bend lava, metal, blood or plants are rare and/or unique. So, I would it appreciate it if you took this into account when creating a character. I only say this because I feel like these sub-bending's will loose their sense of rarity if everyone in the roleplay has them.

Other forms of sub-bending, like healing water, lightening, and sand bending are more common in the world of Avatar. These are the kinds of sub-elements you can add at your leisure. [/hider]

[hider=New Bending]New Bending

Over the course of both series there have been characters who discover or learn new forms of bending not previously seen before. Id like to incorporate this idea into this Rp. Much like how Toph created metal bending and the world was introduced to lava bending, I want you to have significant character progression and possibly be able to add new sub bending that has yet to be seen in the series. Of course if you think of something Pm me first so I can approve.[/hider]

[hider=Air Benders]
When It comes to airbenders, we all know that they started popping up all over the world following Harmonic Convergance. But, Harmonic Convergance was some time ago in this Rp. It hasnn't been long enough for a next generation of airbender to be born. Instead of getting super technical in the Chonology of the Rp, The airbenders will have just continued to spring up until the time of Korra's death. This way, you can have an airbender of any age.[/hider]
