For those just stumbling upon this RP: The game is still open and accepting. At the very least I would like to have one more player to add to the three who have already expressed interest.

Feedback from everyone is also welcome as are ideas and such that would help to move the plot or create a new one.

Also just wanted to let you know that I'll be constantly updating the original post to keep up to date with the story. Right now I feel the need to complete full character sheets for my NPCs so they can be better understood.

The first official IC post won't be up until tomorrow at the earliest. I will be away from my computer and will only have access to the site through my phone. From there I can still review and accept applications. If however you would like to get things going after being accepted. Feel free.

Finally any questions about the setting and where this story may go or anything pertaining to the game is welcome. PM me and I should get back to you shortly.

Edit 1: Just a warning. This will only be the second game I've been a GM over. Things my be a little rough so forgive me.

Edit 2: Just so it's clear, everyone's bending ability will be well below basic. No one in the general populace has bent anything in years and there are no teachers. Characters will eventually have to find their own way to master their element... if master is even an attainable caliber now.[/hider]

Work doesn't need me so I have time to put down a quick something to keep you all updated. As of the time of this posting, I've started work on the IC. However I'll have to leave again and won't be able to complete it before I do. I'll be away again for most of the day so if it's not up by tonight, It'll be up early tomorrow morning.

So far I've accepted McHaggis, confuzzler and CLIW as air, water and earth benders respectively. There are still two more roles that need filling: a Firebender and a character that cannot bend the elements. The last is an optional add which I'll be happy to play myself.

Also one more thing. I know it's a bit of a bother to ask but to make it easier for everyone including myself, if you could copy and past your character sheets into the characters tab, that would be a huge help. I would do it myself but each of you would be unable to freely edit it yourself. It'll keep things clean not to mention make referencing a breeze.

And that's about it for now. Sorry for the small delay but rest assured I'm not going anywhere. Can't wait to play with you all.[/hider]

Good morning!

So quick update. Putting together the IC post as promised. It's looking pretty good so far. First one is always the longest for me but I promise you won't have to match it's length and the rest are going to be short and sweet. If you're wondering who exactly I'm playing, I'll just be getting the ball rolling with the NPCs I've mentioned and a good description of the world. My to do list for today includes completing full CSs for those characters and creating my own to throw into the mix.

More importantly... the two open spots are now pending! Soon our party will be full and our little game will take flight.

If you guys don't want to wait for me to post, feel free to start. If you have any questions about the setting or what the world should look like, feel free to ask me. General questions can be laid out in the OOC. Plot specific, collaboration requests, or anything about your character you do not want to reveal just yet can be PMed.[/hider]

Enough has happened to constitute a new announcement. As of now, this game has closed. I will not be adding anymore new players into the mix though new characters from any of you is always welcome. However, I will be saving CS submissions from anyone willing to sub in later in the case that someone must leave the game and is not planning to return soon. So now that we're closed and the first IC post has been up, I think this roleplay has officially started!

Secondly, and this is more for me and my accomplishments today. I've managed to squeeze in some time to finish a CS for the King and a rough timeline of events so that you can all understand where we stand as far as the year and such.

Finally just a little snub of information about how I plan to GM this game. I've been in quite a few roleplay over a handful of years and although I've only ever GMed once before, I've observed all of the ones I've played under. All of them, or most of them, were pleasurable experiences. The ones that stood out to me were the games that involved the GM sticking a finger into each of the other players stories and mixing things up a bit.

Now I won't be doing anything dramatic but I'll be sure to play in essence the entire world. Meaning if your character does something insignificant to an unnamed NPC that you as the player don't plan on utilizing later... I may jump in and turn that NPC into a threat. Basically some of your actions may have consequences that will effect the story as a hole. I'm not too shabby at weaving stories together from the beautiful confusion that is roleplay.

To help me in my conquest of making a fun and engaging game... is the collaborative doc which I haven't completely figured out how to use. I used to use EtherPad which was amazing but that's gone now and so we're stuck with Google Docs. Once I figure out all the kinks, this will help us collab with each other seamlessly.

Anyways, super long announcement over. Check out the King's CS and the Timeline which I'll place somewhere in the post above.[/hider]

Hi everyone! Time for another update.

Just finished a great piece of collaborative writing with McHaggis. Doing some final editing and the post should be up soon. However a good point was brought up that I'd like to address. Actually more precisely, a point I should have put into the OOC. It's kind of important.

Basically it concerns character development and more specifically for our game, your character's discovery of their bending ability. I intended to bestow upon each of you the freedom to decide how and when they discover they can bend and I still want to do that.  This first arc is really each character coming to terms with who they are. That being said, if you don't already have a plan for their initial discovery or need some ideas... Let me know! Just to be sure though I'll be messaging each and everyone one of you to get a general idea of where everyone is at.

Don't be afraid to add you're own bits of lore or conspire among each other to weave together a great story.

Unless I've forgotten something, I think that was all I wanted to say.
