@OneWayOut@Akayaofthemoon@CLIW Hey, I'd like to ask you guys if you think we should try to start the IC now or if you're willing to wait.
@Eodwyn Aether I'm really glad you're interested! I really wanted four players so I'd be willing to wait until you have a character sheet up to get started, but would you still be cool to join if we got the IC going without you?
We finally seem to have enough people interested to justify one of these, so hooray!
A basic summary of what I have so far:
It's been 7 years since the end of Avatar Korra's reign, and the current avatar has yet to reveal themselves. While Avatar Korra faced very few serious threats after the end of Kuvira's reign, many of the avatar's enemies never completely went away, and new struggles grew out of the turmoil of the past. While the Red Lotus was nowhere near the threat it once was, it is known to still exist, and the struggle to hunt down and eliminate every covert member of the organization was ongoing throughout the avatar's life, and still is. The world has become more industrialized than ever since Korra's lifetime, and workers' rights are rapidly becoming a pressing issue. Many poor non-benders have little hope of looking forward to anything but a life working an assembly line and, perhaps predictably, some of them have started anti-corporate movements and fallen in with Equalist philosophy.
Your character, for some reason or another, has received a mysterious letter asking you to show up in the basement of an abandoned temple in a rundown district of Republic City. The letter claims to be of the utmost importance and very urgent, and asks you to try to come alone and unseen. It promises that everything will be explained upon your arrival, and that there is a great reward involved. It is signed only with the seal of the Order of the White Lotus.

A quick note about this, this role-play will mostly be free-form. This form exists to give a general idea of any training your character may have and what they are able to do. It's meant to help give everyone's character a sense of uniqueness and make them useful in their own way. Your character's abilities can be anything from being particularly strong to being skilled with a specific type of weapon or bending ability. Don't be afraid to get creative. Everyone gets six ability points to start off with and you can put multiple points into one thing. So for instance, if you wanted to play a fire bender who had been training for a while but was nowhere near an expert, you might give said character three points in the ability, which would look this this: Firebending (III).
Cool! I think I'm going to start things as soon as we get one more person. I'll hurry off to start the ooc and hopefully get you guys to move you characters there tomorrow.
