"Hm... Yet another threat terrorizes our fair Republic City. My fellow councilmen and women...I urge you to come to a decision. The Avatar must be retrieved. It has been far too long, and I know all of you want to believe that the world can go on without the help of the Avatar...but it seems as though we were wrong. We are not yet ready...for peace." The quiet but firm voice of the airbender was carried through the large room.

There was a long silence as those around the table looked at the woman standing, and at one another. "Very well councilwoman Jinora." one man spoke. "We will send a few to find her. Is her location known?"

"Yes," Jinora would say. "Gaoling. In the Earth Kingdom."

"Of all places..." someone else would say, a woman. "How unfit for the Avatar."

"My sources say she lives in the former Beifong estate. That she often fights in what they call the 'Earth Rumble Tournament' or something along those lines." Jinora spoke as she looked to the woman. "At least her earthbending we can assume is sufficient."

"All in favor of bringing her here."

"No." Jinora said, a hand outstretched. "Not here. Not yet. She must travel...see the world. She must master the other elements before she can face the danger that awaits her here." she said.

"And what of the city until then?!" one man shouted. "Just let it fall into the wrong hands?"

"No." Jinora said, turning around and closing her eyes. "No, my fellow council members. We will fight this force ourselves."

"That is-"

"It is our only option. We must." she turned back around. The young airbender looked at each of them. "We are all the best of benders. With the right push, we can hold off whats coming until she is ready." she paused. "All in favor?"

All hands rose.


40 Years after the last episode of Avatar: The Legend of Korra, Avatar Korra is long dead. In an unfortunate series of events, she died of an incureable disease. No one knows how she got it, or even how she was incureable. The moment she took her last breath, a new avatar was born. Far away in the earth kingdom, a girl named Taru would grow up, aware and afraid of her bending abilities. Focusing mainly on her earthbending, Taru never truely grasped how important her duty as Avatar really was, for she was never called upon.

Until now.

A select few benders have been chosen by the council in secret to travel to Gaoling to find and teach Taru all four elements. Not only teach her bending and how to fight, but show her the world. Teach her how to be the Avatar this current world needs. But...how can they? Under such circumstances, and a time frame of one year...how can they raise an Avatar? Well, that will be figured out in time. For now, they must venture out from Republic City to a world just as foreign to them as it is to Taru who has been sheltered her entire life. And...the new Team Avatar must take whatever the world throws at them.

I will be playing as a Waterbender as well as NPCs needed for the plot, and you will be playing as one of the team members.

My Character







Name: Akari

Age: 19

Nationality: Northern Water Tribe

Affinity: Waterbending

Occupation: She creates intricate, detailed Ice Sulptures for people who host large events, parties and such. It is how she makes a living.

Skills: Healing, Ice sculpture, Stitching, quick on her feet.

Personality: Akari is very adventerous and brave. She will often agree to do something dangerous before others because she feels it is 'exciting'. Despite her occasional recklessness, she is extremely loyal, caring, and helpful. She doesnt give up on anything and always finishes what she starts. While she is not outrightly rude, she wont hesitate to snap at anyone who tries to mistreat her or others. Though she is very well mannered, she is strong and is not afraid to show it. Most of all she dislikes people who show off.

History: Akari was born and raised in the Northern Water Tribe until tensions between the two tribes began to suddenly escalate once again. As diplomatic leaders, her parents had to make a decision wether to allow their daughter to stay during such a dangerous time. Opting to seperate, he mother stayed in the north while her father would take her, at the young age of 14, to Republic City. Eventually her father made his way to become a councilman and as a result, Akari became a target for various uprisings in the city. Though she was attacked and protected without her knowledge, such behavior happening to her, other councils' children, and innocent people, it drove councilwoman Jinora to call upon her and a few others to seek out the Avatar. (More in depth history will be revealed later on.)

Remember to have fun!

Rules:
1. Same as always. Dont be an ass, dont God-Mod
2. If you have a problem with another persons character, adress it in the OOC so you can come to a decision before moving on in the IC
3. Dont run off and become stray. Thats not cool.
4. No killing another person's character or innocent NPCs
5. At least a paragraph per post. This means 10 sentences not including dialogue. This is casual rp people. No one liners!
6. Pay attention to eachothers posts. You may miss something veeeeery important.
7. No leaving for more than two days without telling someone first. If you do so, we will take control of your character until you come back, no questions asked. If oyu are gone any given time for over a week, your character will become an NPC
8. Have fun! Feel free to add pictures, music, link and such to your posts.

Name: Xiu (Pronounced She-you) Ying

Age: 22

Nationality: She is from Republic City

Affinity: Firebender

Occupation: Police Task Force

Advantages

Acrobatics - She has a keen sense of balance and is able to pull of some complicated fire bending moves do to her balance as well as acrobatic skill.

Flexible - As it says, she is able to contort her body to great effect. Though, she is no contortionist.

Martial Arts (Fighting)

Perception - She is able to spot things most people wouldn't, which is what makes her a good detective as well as fighter as it's hard for her to be fooled.

Lightning Generation - She is able to use the lightning technique much like how Azula does. Not Ozai in the sense she can't generate lightning and sustain it for several seconds. Just a bolt.

Fan Use - Her teacher was an avid friend of a Kyoshi Warrior and from that friend Xiu learned how to fight with their war fans and combine it with her element in combat. After all Azula said a fan only makes fire stronger.

Disadvantages

Curiosity - Sometimes she is far to curious. Those nine lives like to be used up because of this. She has to 'know' how things work. What causes them, or the origin of a mystery. This can be good, but often leads to trouble.

Never Back Down - When challenged she finds that she can't run from it unless pried from it with exceptional effort from the people she cares about.

Thrill Seeker - She doesn't like to relax, rather she wants to do something at some point. Like a literal being of flame she must find something to consume her time for fun or danger. Fun usually comes from solving mysteries or fighting as the inner police girl she has or she keeps searching for the 'fuel' for her flame of life.

Personality:

She is the teasing smart ass of the group. Kind of like Sokka, but far less 'stupid' about it. Enjoyment in life is what she seeks and from it leads to this personality of wanting to be involved in many things. When she teaches the Avatar she will likely be fun loving and have odd ways of explaining it. Such as igniting the trees around the Avatar on fire and telling him he has to stop the forest from burning down. Smirking and teasing them the entire time they try to do so. However, it is slightly contradictory as in a fight she seems to be collective. When having fun and smiling she somehow fights with precision and skill.

History:

Xiu was born to the now diseased police chief of Republic city. The one who took over after Toff's daughter had retired. After he mother died during childbirth her father was very protective, but was met with a daughter who loved to explore and get into trouble. A tomboy who would fight off bullies at school and even break a law or two to have fun. Several times her father found her following him on a case only to have to bring her home again. Even with this though he loved her. Her natural curiosity made him laugh as well as get angry after all. He couldn't blame her for being who she is.Because of his position though she knew she may be put in danger at times when people wanted revenge for putting them in jail. So he had her trained by a fire bending master named Lin Dao. The man was eccentric by most standards. Even as a master he only had a few students do to his odd ways of teaching. Students who would talk about his training shuddered at some of the horror they met.


However, Xiu was different. She found it all fun and excited. Excelling through her training quickly and naturally. However, this ment she also did more damage across the city. Trying to 'help' her father solve crimes and take out criminals.This lead to the biggest feeling of guilt in her life and one that carries over still. She was captured by a gang of Republic city, in fact this gang even had high ranking officials trying to corrupt the government. Her father had been trying to take them down for three years and now they had a way to take him down a peg. In the hostage trade of her for the boss her father had recently taken in everything went wrong. A fight broke out, and in the end Xiu killed the man who caused her father's death. She didn't mean to kill him, but she knocked him back into a wall as the building was ablaze before it suddenly collapsed on top of him. Then came the guilt of her father dieing moment after outside from a mortal wound.


She may fight, have pride, and be thrill seeking. However, she finds that she can't kill anyone again. No matter how bad they may be. This didn't stop her future career though. She was allowed a job at the department on the grace of her family name, but did show her capabilities. Becoming a rising star of the force. At the same time her training did continue. Focus allowing her to use Lightning even if the guilt weighed. her drive to make up for that day allowed her to be calm when the time comes. She enjoys every bit of life she can in place of the life she had taken and the life her father lost.After rising among the ranks she also rose in status as a fire bender. She seemed unstoppable at times which led her to the situation today. Her master became ill in his old age and is to weak to train the Avatar, so when the council had asked him he pointed them out to his best student. Xiu was at first reluctant as she didn't really want to be a teacher, but a chance to travel the world sounded fantastic. Her teacher gave her his blessing into teaching the Avatar and then she accepted the offer. Packing her things and moving to begin what may be a great adventure.

Hey, is everybody still game for this? I don't know if Shadowcatcher would mind, but we could go ahead and start up the IC. The very beginning of the story is just the group setting out from Republic City, getting to know each other and such. :) And, hey, what if the bad guys waylay them on the road, and try to stop them from reaching Gaoling? Could be interesting.

What do you say?

By the way, whenever the OP may see this, MozillaPad is more stable than TitanPad. TitanPad tends to crash quite a lot...
