Looking for fans of the Avatar series to write with. This is a link to the first post. I am looking to tell the tale of basically a "Team Avatar" type dynamic. The 3rd Avatar just passed away and at present the 4th ever Avatar is just 8 years old and their identity and well as whereabouts is unknown. Finding the Avatar will not be the focus of the RP, though it will be the end game.

Few details that are important is it takes place about 300 ish years after the death of Avatar Wan, maybe 400? Please ask me about your character and ideas before posting. I would like 3-4 players max, an additional may be okay if they wanted to play antagonist.

I wanted to establish a few things in here in regards to culture.

Fire Nation culture:

There is no fire lord. The monarchy does not exist and doesn't exist for thousands of years. Fire bending is a trait that elevates bloodlines in the hierarchy of their society. The fire nation comprises of a ton of islands and each island governs themselves. They partake in tribal warfare as well, but that's beside the point. The familial hierarchy of the fire islands is tier based. If a bloodline possesses the ability to fire bend they are most likely to be nobles, governed by the strongest and most resilient of the families on each island. Nonbenders would be the "peasants" in this tier based culture. When a child is born with fire bending abilities they elevate the family's status, and they are trained from the youngest possible age to hone their bending skills, further elevating the family's status. Agne Kai can be utilized to challenge the ruler of the ruling family to reorganize the power structure on an island to island basis. Failing to meet family's expectations can lead to disgrace, not only for the individual, but for the family as a whole, because families as a whole are also held to certain standards and expectations as well depending on the tier they possess within their culture. Great deeds and achievements, feats of notable regard, etc. also elevate family.

Earth Dynasties:

The Earth Kingdom will not exist for thousands of years either. This giant landmass is divided into several dynasties, of which also partake in tribal warfare. These dynasties are ruled by those chosen by each territory's respective spirit. The divine right to rule is passed down via bloodline until either the bloodline is wiped out or the territory's spirit selects a new ruler. These rulers are worshiped as gods by their people and they demand unyielding loyalty from their subjects. How they choose to govern their dynasty is completely up to them, however, the spirits can intervene however they see fit, removing them from power. Nobody knows what reasons the spirits might have for doing this yet as spirits are immortal and humanity has only gone a few hundred years without the lion turtles protecting them.

Water Tribes:

The people of the water tribes are very community oriented, and unlike the fire islands and earth dynasties, the water tribes do not partake in tribal warfare. There are no rulers within the water tribes either, but instead, it is every water tribe citizen's duty to provide wisdom and conflict resolution as they become the tribe's elders. The elders of the water tribes are deeply respected and regarded as arguably the most important people in the water tribes. Regardless if someone can bend or not, every citizen is viewed with equal importance and treated with equal dignity, and are trained to do their part for their tribe to the best of their abilities, whatever that might look like on and individual to individual basis. However, those who do not pull their weight, or those who repeatedly burden the efficiency of community, are often exiled for a period of time and able to return once they are able to prove their worth after living in the wilderness of the tundra alone, if they survive. Despite their station or occupation, all water tribe men are trained as warriors and fishermen as it isn't uncommon for people of other nations to attack them, believing them to be weak. The Northern Water Tribe is the heart of both water tribe's spirituality and philosophy, whereas the Southern Water Tribe acts as the tribe's wisdom and worldliness, as it is far more common for southern water tribe to venture to the north pole than it is for anyone in the north to venture to the south. Every few years people from the southern water tribe trek to the northern water tribe and a festival to celebrate their travels and arrival takes place, where the two tribes will exchange knowledge and teachings, stories, wisdom, goods, etc.

Air Nomads:

I think this one is a given. They've basically been established to be peaceful, spiritual monks since before Wan's era, and this has never changed. Only thing that has changed is the establishment of the air temples which presently have not existed for very long. 200 years max. Maybe 100. Flying bison have not yet been discovered either. Most air benders at this time are primarily nomadic, using the temples as way points, educational hubs, and for reunions. It is where young monks are born and raised until old enough to live the nomadic lifestyle (in smaller doses at younger ages and more and more as they get older), something every monk strives for. No monk remains in any temple for too long unless they are too old to travel, in which case they'd end up serving their people from the chamber of elders. Air nomads are universally adored and respected by all people of the world as they are neutral and will provide help and wisdom to anyone despite their nature. For this reason, it is a normal occurrence that, when an air nomad makes their presence known somewhere, they are always given a place to rest and food to eat.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

I find this interesting.

Is there a reason there's nothing in the OOC tab of the thread though?

...Fuck it. I don't know a whole lot about Avatar, but an idea for a Earth/Fire Tribe person is already forming in my head. So hey, why not?

Might want to brush up on your lore because ATLA is a masterpiece and I'm not trying to break that universe's rules. I'm an ATLA encyclopedia though so feel free to ask any questions you have.

I’m by no means an expert. It’s been a looong time since I’ve seen the show. But I’ve read enough wikis to get a decent-ish backstory. ^^;

@Crimson Flame

For both ATLA and Korra? If so, I'd very much like to hear about your water bender. Just keep in mind this is thousands of years before ATLA.

That's fair. I overlooked that.

Usually any out of character information such as lore or rules would go in that tab. The post at the start of this thread, for example.

@Crimson Crusade apologies for not replying sooner!!

I’m thinking air nomad orphan who was originally meant to be raised in one of the temples but something happened in their younger years which led to them being completely on their own

Perhaps due to this they might retain the peaceful teachings of the temple but that may also be mixed with some pretty aggressive and primal behaviour since surviving on their own.

Their air-bending wouldn’t be the strongest but they could also develop newer and a little less traditional techniques (such as man idk, taking someone’s breath away in the literal sense but a lot less hardcore)

Not sure if this is going over the top. Please do let me know ^^

(Also also- welcome to the site! I did not realise you were new aswell I have to admit)

Hey! Thank you. I'm okay with that type of character as long as you're aware I've already made the initial post and my character is also an airbender. But that's cool with me

I'm thinking on an "outcast" earthbender. Someone who did something bad, stupid or outright dangerous and isn't welcome in their home anymore. So they just wander from place to place and use earthbending to not get killed by some bandit or an angry spirit

oh o-o

I just read your first post- not sure why I didn’t do that in the first place haha

Two airbenders in a group would be an interesting dynamic and i’m glad to hear you’re fine with it!

I can always change characters though if the situation demands it before the roleplay starts

Hi, just dropping by to say that this looks really interesting and to ask if there were still spots open? If yes, do you have a character sheet that I can fill out?

I do not have character sheets sorry. So far nobody has jumped in so as far as I know all slots are open. Are you familiar with avatar the last airbender and its lore? Also, the first post of the thread is The link in the first post on this RT. I am hoping to build a team avatar type group but I am flexible. No the avatar will not be involved as he or she is only 8 years old at this point and somewhere in the earth dynasties. The tavern in the post is somewhere in the south western corner of the earth dynasties with easy access to the other nations. Let me know if you have any questions.
