Hey everyone, I had some interest on the replacement site, but it seems to have waned a bit. Anyone interested?

Plot Synopsis:

The world has long since been corrupted. The Avatar is corrupted. History, once a living creature, is now dead and forgotten. No one knows what once was. The Four Nations have long since disbanded and new nations have formed. These nations have formed in the opposite light of the goals of Republic City and everything has become segregated. 

The world is falling apart. In the wake of the madness, rumors have emerged. After years of tyranny stemming from the Dark Avatar, it is rumored he, the Dark Avatar, is planning to engulf the world in darkness. It is said, in hushed tones and only late at night, that the true Avatar, a pure Avatar, has been reborn and the cycle restored. It is also said the new Avatar will come back to the mainland to destroy the Dark Avatar and protect the world once again. There are also some other rumors, darker, deadlier rumors, which no one wants to get involved in. Over the years of the Dark Avatar’s tyranny, an organization has risen to combat the pain and misery inflicted upon the people. This organization, the Jasmine Dragon, has been providing much needed relief for years, but some believe there is a dark side to this foundation. Some say the Jasmine Dragon wants to own and rule the world, to dispose of both Avatars and profit from chaos that ensues. After the profit, or so the rumor says, the Jasmine Dragon will come in and save the day, again, and everyone will beg them to take over.

Of course, to most people, this would be better than the current situation with the Dark Avatar. Currently, the Dark Avatar, or Kurai as some know him, is in total control. No one dares oppose him due to his tremendous power and influence. His police force, the White Lotus, is filled with some of the most powerful benders in the world, from all corners of the globe. Some says Kurai captures a promising bender’s family and mutilates the bender’s family before his or her eyes, all while using some sort of power to brainwash the individuals and turn them into violent, loyal subjects. Other’s say he simply takes children from the best breeding stock (powerful parents) and trains them from birth. In this tyrannical world, if someone disappears in the middle of the night, which happens often, no one questions anything because everyone knows what happened. There are prisons set up all over the world and it is said the screaming from the torturous acts inside can be heard for miles. No one dares to challenge the White Lotus or Kurai. Then there’s the tax. 50% of everything belongs to Kurai. No one knows what he does with all of the food, the money, the technology, but some say he uses what he needs for the White Lotus and burns the rest. Kurai is easily identified by his black bending. Whenever Kurai bends, whether it be water, fire, earth, air, or lightning, the result is black. Air gains a foggy, thick appearance, fire turns black, earth gets darker than coal, water becomes sleek and shiny like oil, and lightning is black and seems to absorb light. 

The truth is, the Jasmine Dragon really does plan on taking down Kurai and replacing him. What they do not plan on is the appearance of the True Avatar. The stories of his return have been around for decades and he has never come back. The leaders of the Jasmine Dragon believe the cycle was ended so many years ago in a fashion no one remembers. 

No matter what, the Jasmine Dragon has been planning on a takedown effort for a long time. Their ranks are filled with powerful benders and non-benders who have escaped Kurai’s evil eye. Recently, their recruiting efforts have doubled, if not tripled. They are reaching out to contact everyone and anyone who has been touched in a negative way by the Dark Avatar’s reign and has skill.
