Wilds. The world outside the walls of Ba Sing Se. The Wilds is the name given to the mostly desolate lands surrounding the last city. As stated previously, much of the land has been ruined by the 'Great War'. The former Bending nation's capitals were destroyed by bombs and surrounding cities were abandoned shortly after, leaving much of the planet empty, left to be reclaimed by the world. Thanks to heavy synergy radiation as a result of the weapons used by the Republic, much of flora and fauna has been changed. The exact nature of this change is still unknown but the people who have survived in the wilderness long enough to tell their tales, share stories of beasts unlike any they've seen before. Twisted corruptions of the wildlife they once knew, roaming the land ever hungry with an appetite impossible to satiate. The cities that bore the brunt of the destruction are actively avoided. Some believe the synergy saturating the air can slowly drive a man insane, sapping him of his will until his mind is no longer his and he's taken. Others say the air is poisonous and will eventually kill any who enter. Still, there are those brave souls who throw caution to the wind and venture into these zones, discovering within whatever treasure or old knowledge they can find. Notable locations include the Synergy Power Plant that is situated in the abandoned husk of what was once Republic City. To the south of Ba Sing Se lies the expansive Si Wong Desert. An ocean of sand impossible to cross. Si Wong Desert. w1 The ocean of sand and heat that stretches from the walls of the city south, past the horizon. At one point in time, it had been bordered by a large river that connected the Full Moon and Chameleon bays, effectively halting the desert's march. In the years after the war, the change in climate eventually dried up the North bay, draining the river of its source and allowing the desert to expanded further before stopping again at the foot the city. Of the many dangers in this region, the most prominent are sandstorms which occur frequently and have become extremely dangerous. Powerful winds can whip up a wall of dust and sand that is capable of tearing through flesh. However, these are typically formed closer to the desert's heart and will only approach the Lower Ring on very rare occasions. There is strong belief that a tunnel system exists below the surface of the sand as sightings of fauna remain constant. The only way they'd be able to survive the storms is if they had access to shelter. ???. w2 _ _ _ _ _ ??? _ _ _ _ Synergy Power Plant. w3 Formerly the Republic City spirit portal. The city and surrounding area have been reduced to little more than the plant itself and the living areas and shops necessary to support it and its employees. The work pays well but is also unusually dangerous for what would otherwise be a simple job. There are constant and sporadic accidents that occur on site putting some people off to such a career. Oddly enough, the accidents have increased in frequency in the last few years and some believe it's coming to a head. Extra safety measures have been put into place and routine maintenance checks have been increased. Like Ba Sing Se, the plant has a small wall built around it that is continuously patrolled. Although the process of collecting and refining energy was originally developed by Varricks, the entrepreneur eventually left the energy business as the Moon family took over. This plant is still owned and operated by this same family today. It feeds the city power via a pipe system traveling the distance between itself and a storage facility located just inside the Lower Ring. Fauna. w4 While still existing in the world in and out of Ba Sing Se, many familiar species from the last century have gone extinct. Most large animals such as the flying bison no longer exist while many smaller creatures can be bought for exorbitant prices if you know where to look. However, usually, only those in the Upper Ring can afford to purchase and care for a pet. Beyond the walls, any wildlife that still thrives has adapted to a dramatically changed environment. Some were lucky enough to live on land mostly untouched by the war while others have mutated, changed in surprising and strange ways from prolonged exposure to lingering synergy radiation. Most have turned feral. Others have evolved, exhibiting behavior that seems similar to spirits from the spirit world. There are many who argue that they are spirits but since so few have ventured out into the wilderness to see these phenomena themselves, truth remains but a rumor. Character pets are allowed but must be approved by the GM. ???. w5 _ _ _ _ _ ??? _ _ _ _ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Character Interview Questions

- What's your favourite season?

@LuckyBlackCat

Akaia makes a 'C' with one of her hands and holds it horizontally as if she were placing the letter on its side on a flat surface in front of her, the curve of her thumb pointed toward her chest. With her other hand, she pushes her fingers through the opening of the first and as they emerge from the other side, spreads those fingers to imitate a 'bloom'. You swear you can see the season in her colorless eyes.

@Dragonfly 9 Nice! I like this!

I will say, having done this a few times, fire, water and air are usually the most popular choices. Earth is last but is definitely not least (there may or not be an NPC that I love in the world that is an Earth Bender) and there is always a vote for a non-bender which is a pleasant surprise to me. I'm always excited to see what comes of it.

Any particular reason why you're choosing the element(s) you two are?

Inheritor of the SynEn corporation. Vyska is the daughter of Mynwa Moon and currently lives in the Upper Ring. She devotes herself tirelessly to her family's company, working hard to uphold the weight of the Moon name and make good of their legacy of sustainable energy provided to all corners of Ba Sing Se. In a year's time, she is expected to take over the business completely from her father who is looking to retire. Vyska is also a practitioner of self-defense and owns a synergy handgun. What is my opinion on Benders? Through her studies, she understands who they were, what they did and why they are no more. While the life of a bender was once something she marveled, she grew to learn that their very presence induced change in everything and everyone. Although that change would often be for the better, if the record for the last handful of Avatars was any indication, their causality was the continuous breeding of more conflict. Vyska firmly believes that Benders were a lesson to be learned and that the world can learn no more from them. Their greatest achievement was connecting the physical world with that of the spiritual and allowing them access to a seemingly limitless supply of energy. Beyond that, Spirits and Benders have no place in the new world. _____________________________________________________________________	Jack.

He will at times, and given he is in a good mood, offer advice or engage in casual banter. ___________________________________.......

At four bites, that's enough of a green light to get the OOC finished. Since it's already partially complete, I will have it up in the next two days. Thanks so much to everyone whose expressed interest so far! I really appreciate it and really look forward to writing with you all.

In the mean time, you're free to character theorize. I'm aiming for one player per element. There are four of you currently so you may each choose amongst yourselves which you prefer. There is also the fifth spot that is available for a non-bender, and if one of you would like that option instead, I myself can flex over to fill the empty element.

Multiple players can apply to play as one element, but I will only be accepting one character each. For this reason, I am allowing players to submit a second character for a different element in case they do not get their first choice. That also means the spots aren't 'first come first serve' in the case that there is more interest.

I'm providing the information I'll be asking for in your CS below. Some of it you may not be able to fill out until the rest of the world's information is given to you in the OOC. There is no coding requirement and the following can be organized in your sheet as you see fit, so long as they are all included in your final submission:

---

Image: Should be a realistic digital work of art. No real life photos. Anime is okay.
Age: 18-25

Residence: Where your character lives. This can be in any of the rings, the Underground (more information on this later) or just outside the walls.
Occupation: What does your character do for a living?

The following can be answered as your character:
Who are you? This is replacing your standard 'history' section. Instead of history, I'd like to know who your character is today. It might be a little rehash of the 'residence' and 'occupation' info but I still want a summary of your character as they are in the now. Do they have a routine? Why do they work where they do? How do they feel about the Republic? Are they curious about what's outside? This also does not need to be lengthy.

What is your opinion on Benders?
This is where I judge the merits of your character the most.

Please provide information on one NPC related to your character in the sheet.

---

You can wait to create your character sheet until after the OOC is posted. There will be a full example of one so you can get a better understanding of the type of characters I'm looking for. If you have any questions, do let me know!
