Shadowcatcher and Expllo, you both make very good points and I agree with you both. What I mean by an AU is that it will be in the same world as the one we know in the show, but without the history established like Expllo mentioned. The world can be just as technologically advanced as LOK or a little more so with some places still traditional and less urban. Republic city or a city like it will exist, but it will not be as important to the role-plays actual plot line like it is in Korra's legend. I honestly haven't watched enough of either show for history to be a huge factor in this role-play. Therefore, I'd like for everyone to worry less about the history aspect and focus more on making our own history.

Shadowcatcher, I love your character so far - I am interested in knowing a little about Akari's background as far as her family life and her life experiences that have molded her into the character that she is. Do make sure and go back to edit in a little something informative about her past and I'm more than happy to look it over and accept you.
