It has been three months since the Equalist attack on Republic City and it's subsequent take over by Amon's forces and then their failure after the unmasking of their leader and his lies. The Equalists for all intents and purposes are fractured and or gone vanishing back into everyday life. Avatar Korra is hailed as a hero as is the majority of the Republic City Defense Force and the United Alliance's armies. With Republic City recovering from the destruction and still suffering from crime which has risen since the reinstatement of the police and the riots by still loyal Equalists. However some miles away from Republic City lies the trading route city similar to Republic City but without a reputable water source it heavily depends on it's airfields which allow the airships to bring in supplies by transport. There is a small river running through the city but the water is not sufficient for anyone but fisherman who barely make a meager earnings. This city is named Wu Xing (Earth in more native tongues) is home to not only a metal bender academy but is also a gambling capital and has well known Pro-Bending Tournaments hosted almost all year every month. However with that being said there are four gangs that have been unleashed upon the city making live miserable for the locals and travelers alike though they would protest that they do all that much to harm the city. The first of which being the Red Cat Gators, The Brown Mole Bears, The Blue Flames, and The Lightning Prodigals all of which are sly and very business savvy. However there's been rumors going about lately, unsettling ones at that, that say another gang is forming under the head of a mysterious man.

Alright FAQ Time:
1. Air Bending will be allowed but pro-benders don't have an air slot so that being said air bending will not be allowed with a pro bending background. You must not be very well known. The most likely scenario being that you came from a rather unknown area and are rather new to bending or have kept it rather secret. This is because Tenzin and his crew will take you away for training and then your character can't participate in the roleplay due to the fact he's in the next city over.
Once you start bending in the city you may very well be noticed but the canon cast will be kept out by: "Being busy with Equalists rebels" unless requested to make an appearance in which case they may come in late roleplay to see you.
2. Blood Bending, 'Duel' Bending, Lava Bending, and any advanced form of bending is off the table unless it's Metal Bending/Sand Bending which has become common. You may be able to learn them later. However doing so will cost you the ability to use better earth bending. Also Ice Bending in restricted to The Northern and Southern Water Tribes with some bare basics left to Foggy Swamp Tribe members.
3. I'm aiming for a group that is from their teens to early mid twenties. Adult characters are HEAVILY discouraged due to the nature of the roleplay. However if you must I'll allow an older character.
4. The canon cast will not be involved in this roleplay. The whole purpose of this being semi-canon is to get rid of any questions about the avatar and or who the avatar is at the moment. This also prevents people, including myself, from abusing the avatar's powers in roleplay. Canon cast shall not be allowed at all since they are off doing their own things..
5. This will be a little darker in the sense of a Dark Knight (Batman) sense where there will be violence and possibly death but not on a scale I hope to keep this true to the series and prevent character deaths if possible.
6. Non benders are allowed as long as they're not equalists themselves. They may have been trained by them but no actually involved themselves due to plot reasons. You also may be a chi-blocker or whatever be it and no be at all affiliated with the equalists past or present.
7. Pro benders are not allowed unless they are retired. Unless you or a group of your friends can get together and make a whole team plus a manager with a reputable background of how you're getting funded then I don't have the time to deal with an entire mini-group and their arcs. Please stick to one or two characters. My character will be a pro-bender but I'm use to handling more then five NPC's per roleplay I'm in and can effectively handle it.
8. This takes place four months before Harmonic Convergence AKA Season 2.

Rules:
1. GM's control and make this roleplay listen to them or be forced out
2. All standard roleplay rules apply
3. PG-13 Limits apply cursing and the like as well as bloody is allowed but this roleplay is meant to be kept in the spirit of the series.
4. Any important canon characters shall not have additional children unless requested and I MAY consider allowing it. Other Co-GM's if assigned do not have a place to allow canon offspring.
5. You accept the fact that you must inform me or someone of your departure from this roleplay. Doing so without my knowing (leaving the roleplay) will result in a permanent ban from any and all of my roleplays.
