[b]Avatar: Return of the Legend[/b]
[i]Historic (18th-19th cen) - Fantasy - Adventure -- Avatar[/i]
[hider=Synopis + Infos]
There had once been a time when the world was at peace, and all the nations had lived as one. Society and nature were in perfect balance, and the world was a place of beauty and hope. Then, without any warning, an Alliance was formed; a merging of the four nations that sought power and control over the rest of their people. Armed with powerful benders of all breeds, including the most feared of their forces: The Blood Benders, the Alliance stormed the capitals of every nation, conquering all, and leaving no hope for the future.

No hope...except for the Avatar...

With the power to master all four elements, the Avatar was the only one strong enough to stop the Alliance, and restore peace and balance to the world once more. Backed by none other than himself and the power he held, the Avatar did all he could to reason with the Alliance, but in his attempts, he was lost, and with his fall, the Alliance only grew in power. War broke out as the surviving nations fought against the Alliance, but, in the end, the Alliance reigned supreme. Survivors fled, running to the furthest reaches of the world and burying themselves away, far from the controlled societies of the Alliance.

Hunting down and destroying the next Avatar when she was just a small child, the Alliance made certain that their claim to power could never be challenged, and they swore to do the same unto every Avatar born thereafter. Still, people who refused to give in to the Alliance prayed for a new Avatar to be born, hoping that by some miracle, the next could be protected from the cruel hands of the Alliance, and the war could finally be brought to an end. Generations passed, and though the Alliance never managed to find another Avatar, so too did the next never make an appearance. In time, people abandoned their hope, and the Avatar was soon all but forgotten, becoming nothing more than an ancient legend, a bedtime story to soothe children from the nightmares of the Alliance.

A new era has dawned, and the control of the Alliance has never been stronger as they slowly but steadily crack down on the remaining rebel fortresses scattered throughout the world. A young boy living in a little-known Alliance town has grown up with the gift of earth-bending and is a near-master of his skill just by trying. When the village is attacked by marauders, young Tokoh does all he can to protect his friends and fellow people, and in the heat of the moment, he counters a fire-bender's attack with flames of his own. As the town runs off the attackers, tensions and questions rise at the reveal of the boy's new-found ability, and, in the end, he is urged to leave; not because the people fear him or what dangers he may bring them, but because they know deep down that he is the only hope for their world, for even if they no longer believe it, the Avatar has finally returned.

[hider=Notes]
[b][u]PLOT STUFF[/u][/b]
[list][*] Tokoh is more or less run from his village, urged to go and find masters who can teach him in the other elements
[*] Along the way he meets tbn, tbn, and Sukar in a rebel village hidden deep in a swamp after being hurt really badly
[*] Rebels find out Tokoh is the Avatar and things get kinda weird because the Rebels essentially wanna use him as a weapon, but they don't show that at first and instead act supportive and even offer to help him in finding the masters who'll be training him
[*] First on the list is a fire-bending master, as is the order of elements, and this is tricky because most fire-colonies are under Alliance control
[*] Even still, the three he met initially are sent to travel with Tokoh, under the guise of being there to help him along his journey, when in actuality, at least in the case of Sukar, they're really only there to make sure Tokoh doesn't run off and disappear
[*] Lots of fun and adventure along the way, both friends and enemies will be made, over time their team grows, and over time Sukar becomes less of a controlling asswipe trying to keep Tokoh under control, and more of a supporter of their own little rebellion
[*] Would love to hear thoughts and ideas, I wanna make this as much its own story as possible so it's not too close to atla, so I'm not really looking to have a guy from the Alliance hunting the crew in desperation to restore his honor or whatever. There could be a guy, but he'd just be a guy who's good at what he does and has served the Alliance all his life; other than that, I think the biggest conflict would be Tokoh's own morality since he grew up under the Alliance and all he'll know of the Rebels, eventually, is that they're just as bad as the Alliance since not only do they wanna use Tokoh as a weapon, but I can see them using the same tactics as the Alliance, right down to training blood-benders[/list]

[b][u]WORLDBUILDING[/u][/b]
[list][*] I haven't seen LoK, so most of this is gonna be the original lore and world of AtLA, and besides that, I prefer the time period of AtLa over LoK anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[*] The Alliance is composed of peoples from all four nations, having powerful benders from each. They are mainly made up of benders, which is what makes them so strong, and they typically look down on non-benders, seeing them as inferior. Not only do they have blood-benders, but the vast majority of their fire-benders have blue flames and the ability to not just redirect lightning, but create it as well. In addition, their earth-benders also have metal-bending down pat. No joke, these people are powerful. They are run by a council of four, each with their own committee of generals and advisors. The highest ranked among the four is the water-bender, as they are obviously also a blood-bender and have the most power and control over others. Second in command is the fire-bender, followed by earth and finally air. All four hold equal rule over those below them, but this hierarchy is held amongst themselves, for whatever reason[/list]

[b]Two Paths[/b]
[i]Modern - Fantasy - Adventure -- Undertale[/i]
[hider=Synopis + Infos]
When a pair of human children, identical twins with opposing SOULs, fall into the Underground, they are met with all the obstacles the world of monsters can offer...and more. Seeking only to make it out of the Underground alive, the older of the two siblings takes every chance to stand up and fight against the monsters who stand in their way. All the while, the younger of the two, makes every attempt to befriend as many of the monsters they meet as they can, and they begin to wonder why they would ever leave the Underground in the first place. As the twins find themselves facing very different paths, the younger sibling pleads for the older of the pair to come to their senses, but in the end, they find themself abandoned by their twin and ultimately left at the mercy of all those in their violent twin's path. It feels like it could truly be the end as the death of the Great Papyrus brings about the wrath of the skeleton's older brother upon the younger twin, but when it becomes clear that the younger of the two humans had no part in his brother's death, Sans makes...[i]an effort[/i] to sympathize with the remaining child, and the two come to an understanding that the older twin must be stopped, and it'll take both of them to make that happen.

[hider=Notes]
[b][u]PLOT STUFF[/u][/b]
[list][*] So, basically, this is an Undertale run that is simultaneously a pacifist run and a genocide run, with older twin A being the geno/chara, and younger twin B being the paci/frisk
[*] As you can imagine, this causes a lot of chaos since one twin is running around killing everything in sight at the will of a demon, while the other twin is trying their damnedest to make peace and save everyone
[*] A lot strays from the story of Undertale, though, such as the twins actually staying with Toriel for a while and even learning some fire magic from her, as well as simply the fact that once the twins split ways at Snowdin and A goes off to murder tf out of Pap, it's less about getting through the Underground, and more just about stopping A from destroying every monster in their path
[*] A strong focus on B's and Sans' relationship, especially as both cope with losing their sibling in different ways; Sans lost Papyrus to death, while B lost A to betrayal/abandonment
[*] Sans doesn't want B to go through the same pain as him, even if A is the reason his brother is dead, so he's willing to help B find and stop their twin [i]peacefully[/i]
[*] Meanwhile, A is faced with every challenge as they ruthlessly make their way to the castle to face off against Asgore and pass through the Barrier; perhaps there could be some interaction between A and Chara as a character?[/list]

[list][*] The Power of Reset: An unexplainable godly power that allows the user to "reset" the timeline to a specific point; usually only accessible during times of "death" to let the user "jump" back before their death and allow them to try again
[list] [*] User retains all memory of past timelines
[*] Can not actually be controlled consciously, as far as anyone knows
[*] Gives others a sense of deja vu any time it's used
[*] Overuse can create instabilities in the timeline
[*] Power is only accessible to the creature with the highest level of Determination
[list] [*] The first to obtain this power was Sans, hence why he's aware of timelines, however, he has no recollection of having the ability or what it really is
[*] The second to have this ability was Flowey; who abused it greatly until the twins arrived
[*] Being of equal Determination, both twins possess the power, and are highly aware of when the other dies, as their timeline is also reset[/list][/list]
[*] Humans have powerful, strong SOULs filled with Determination; their SOULs are colored, which relates to their values and very being
[*] Monsters have magical yet weak SOULs that can't hold Determination the same way as humans; their SOULs are white and shatter into dust when damaged
[list] [*] Monsters hold natural magic that they can harness in different ways
[*] Monsters are weak to physical attacks from natural human weapons
[*] Monsters have the power to draw out a human's SOUL during battle
[*] Monsters can affect a human's SOUL in different ways
[*] Monsters live many years and heal very quickly[/list]
[*] Some history stuff:
[list] [*] Gaster was the royal scientist long before Alphys and went missing in a tragic accident
[*] He was the father of the core and all that keeps the Underground alive, and also the inventor of the SOUL extractor, which, inevitably brought his demise
[*] Gaster is neither alive nor dead, simply "gone from the world"
[*] Gaster was Sans and Papyrus' father, though not in any traditional sense
[*] Gaster created the skelebros with his magic by sacrificing a piece of himself for each
[*] Sans was once Gaster's assistant
[*] Papyrus was too young to have any recollection of Gaster or any of this
[*] Gaster and Sans are the founders of The Power of Reset, as Gaster often experimented on Sans (consensually) and wanted to see if it was possible to give a monster as much Determination as a human
[*] The experiment led to Gaster's demise, but because he had the Power of Reset, Sans survived, and through multiple resets, was able to save only himself and Papyrus from the incident as no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save Gaster
[*] Sans lived with the Power of Reset for some time, being the only one aware of the timeline, until suddenly the timeline began to change outside of his control, and Flowey appeared to wreak havoc on the Underground
[*] Still aware of the Power of Reset and timelines in general, Sans fought for years against the flower who only seemed interested in treating him and everyone else as playthings, and he did all he could to try and find a way to take the Power of Reset away from the villain
[*] Now with the twins taking the Power of Reset, his memory has dwindled as he furthermore loses control of the timeline, and he honestly doesn't remember the years at Flowey's mercy, or really much of his past at all. He has vague memories of his father, but no more so than the fact that Gaster was deaf and "spoke in hands"
[*] Possible point of interest: Gaster was married to the Riverperson, who is also secretly a skeleton; Sans and Papyrus are not the RP's children, given that Gaster [i]created[/i] the bros with his magic, but they saw the young skeletons as their own and took care of them as such; after the incident, they were left with a connection to the Power of Reset that allows them to be aware of its existence, and more importantly, who possesses it. They're not as aware of timelines as Sans, since they never had the power, but they are able to know if they have met a SOUL in a previous timeline, which is how they are able to tell who has it[/list]

[b]Hybrid SOUL[/b]
[i]Modern - Fantasy - Adventure -- Undertale[/i]
[hider=Synopis + Infos]
When a strange child with a monster's SOUL falls into the Underground, a forgotten entity leaves his place in the void to see if they could be the answer he needs to return to his own timeline. However, this entity soon finds that this timeline is far different from his own and that this child is far more peculiar than he originally sensed. Finding he is, for whatever reason, bound to this child's SOUL, "Friend", as the entity comes to be called, insists to the human that they [i]must[/i] make their way to the Capital and face the king of the monsters, Asgore, so they may escape the Underground and return to their home, and he can be released to return to where he came from as well. Along the way, however, the child becomes more and more enamored with the monsters' world, having never felt so at ease...so...[i]welcomed[/i]... And as a result, their friend finds himself fearing more and more that he may be trapped in this foreign timeline...for good.

[list][*] Weird monster/human kid shows up in the Underground
[*] "Sans" from another timeline, trapped in a void between timelines after having taken Gaster's place in his own timeline, infiltrates the timeline to see wtf is going on
[*] He decides to see if the strange timeline can offer him the help he needs, but he's stuck, unable to leave the kid's side to go very far away, essentially bound to the kid's SOUL
[*] Everyone is befuddled by the kid's existence because, how the hell do hybrid
[list] [*] Flower is an absolute jerk about it
[*] Toriel is extremely cautious about it
[*] Sans prime is also cautious, but curious too
[*] Pap is fucking oblivious
[*] Everyone else is just questioning
[*] Alphys is concerned for the kid's safety, both in terms of their staying alive, and how their SOUL will affect the Barrier[/list]
[*] Things are pretty chill for the first part with Friend guiding the kid through the Underground as best he can, but things get crazy after he finds out that Gaster is [i]dead[/i] and [i]Alphys[/i] is the new Royal Scientist, as he feels that Alphys is a mockery to the position, and he blames her and Gaster being gone for why the timeline is "so fucked up"
[*] Story can go anywhere from there, really, I'd love to hear your thoughts![/list]

[list][*] This timeline never saw a Flowey, nor did it ever see another human; in this timeline, the Core eventually blew up as the scientist pushed it to its limit while trying to retrieve his lost son; thus, the timeline was lost
[*] Such is the end to every timeline wherein it was Sans instead of Gaster; this is the only timeline that Friend is aware of, hence his curiosity with timeline prime, since it was much further in growth than the one he knew and had yet to come to a Core disaster[/list][/list]
