Fire, Air, Water, Earth.

My father told me about the time of the Avatar, a time of peace between men and spirits. Avatar Korra guided the Four Nations through war and strife, and along with her friends brought the world into balance for a new age of peace and prosperity. Then everything changed when the Spirit World was attacked.

Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could have stopped them, but when the world needed her most she perished. Twenty years have passed since then, and both worlds have been thrown into upheaval. Angry spirits rampage across the world, and terrible storms wrack the seas and coasts. 

Many believe that the chaos in the spirit world has destroyed the Avatar, and that the cycle is broken. But there are those of us who have not lost hope that the Avatar will return and save the world.

The mission was simple: Break into the third most secure Future Industries facility, fight their way past the security bots and guards, and gather intelligence on their laboratory facilities and the illegal experiments they were supposedly conducting. According to their leader, who had elected to remain behind for the mission, this would be a step in breaking the deadlock and bringing the Fire Nation and Water Tribes to action against Future Industries.

The rebel fighters, shoved tightly into a dark, uncomfortable shipping container on a train heading for the facility, probably didn't see it quite so optimistically, but the ride was almost over, and the grand debut of the Stormcrows would soon begin. The train began to slow and stop, the sounds of the cars unloading beginning. It was time to go to work. The fighters braced themselves to open their container and begin the attack.

For revenge, for freedom.

[hider=A quick explanation of the setting]Thank you for taking interest in this thread. I will expound a bit upon the above opening: This roleplay takes place roughly 150 years after the events of The Legend of Korra, during a new age of Cold War between the United Republic and Future Industries and the Four Nations. An invasion of the Spirit World by Future Industries and the subsequent mining of it for valuable and rare resources has thrown both worlds into upheaval, driving the Spirits mad with rage and causing terrible geological effects wrack the Earth. Worse, Avatar Korra, now old and alone, was slain in the opening battles of the invasion, crippling the invading force with her last efforts. 

Now, twenty years after the death of the Avatar the time has come and gone for a new Avatar to arise and restore the balance, but none has appeared. Future Industries has become the dominant power in the world, directly controlling the United Republic of Nations and wielding vast power of its own. With their power has come a new age of technology, from wireless communications and firearms to computers and internet. Jet aircraft, rocketry, cybernetics, spirit power, satellites, all are facts of life. Whispers speak of experiments in Future Industries laboratories that push these boundaries, life created and people cloned, beings engineered to have new capabilities, and more.

To put this into a simple sentence, this is Avatar in a Cyberpunk setting.[/hider]

Regarding the Avatar, I received a number of very good concepts for the Avatar, but in the end Mictlan93 gave me what I had to consider the best, and he will be playing the Avatar when s/he appears. As for the rest, if you have further questions contact me on here or on Skype, my username there is Corsair65. Hopefully most of you come, Skype makes coordination and questions so much simpler.
