The year is 2024 in one of the millions of parallel Earths. Roughly a century and a half prior, the last Avatar was tragically killed. Some say he suffered such a torturous death that the Avatar link was forever severed. Or at least, that’s what people presume must have happened. Generation after generation, no other Avatar has made an appearance since that fateful evening. Some took the news quite well, some didn’t care, and some simply could not accept the fact. It didn’t take long for the world to go into a state of total disarray. Crime and violence skyrocketed as benders and non-benders clashed, causing the loss of millions of lives. Without any one random government being able to properly practice their authority over the unjustified murder of innocents, something had to be done, and someone had to act fast. They studied some statistics and noted one interesting fact: the number of benders being born everyday was significantly dropping as time went on. A secretive meeting initiated by the United States government and calling on any and all world leaders and their representatives to attend took place in an unknown location in an unknown date and time. It was in that meeting that the Coalition for the Cessation of Bending was created. This multinational effort would be headquartered in London, with offices branching out worldwide. The logistics side of it would require a number of law enforcement agencies to provide support as needed. For example, if an agent of the CCB wasn’t readily available and a bender was identified, a representative of the police department with arresting powers would take the bender into custody and call on for an agent. The bender would then be placed in a special holding unit to await pickup and transport. What happens once a CCB agent has custody of a bender, no one knows... Currently in this post Avatar era in Chicago, IL, you are going about your business. You may be a bender keeping a low profile, a non-bender, or an agent of the CCB. Every agent and officer on the field tasked with detaining a bender has a device at their disposal which temporarily blocks an individual’s capability to practice their bending. This will in turn give the agent or officer all the power and control of the situation. Storywise, there will be some events in which we can all simultaneously participate in. For these events, I will send out brief surveys so every RPer has a chance to pick certain outcomes. The rules to this game are simple: 1. Follow Guild rules 2. Respect myself and one another. Do not argue. Any disagreements can be handled respectfully and in private. 3. Your character is not an overlord; do not abuse their abilities. Interfering with someone else’s character (or an NPC) even if it doesn’t lead to their death WILL get you kicked out of the game if there weren’t any prior agreements. 4. Inactivity is a pet peeve of mine. Just go ahead and let me know in advance whether you plan to be out for a while. That’s fine, you can pick up your character at a later time and adjust accordingly. However, if you simply ghost the RP without a heads up, your character may be used however I deem fit or possibly killed off. 5. You must be 18 yoa or older to join. This game will have adult themes (violence, drugs, etc.). Fade to black will apply accordingly if the scene reaches that point. 6. Use real people for face claims, not anime. And last but not least, please practice common sense and have fun! If you have any issues, just bring it up to me. This is maybe my second time attempting to be a GM in the many years I’ve been on this site. Also, as a side note, I have a toddler who keeps me on my toes so if I made any mistake (which will more than likely happen quite a bit), just point it out to me.
