Nothing's set in stone until you guys put up character sheets. And don't be afraid to challenge another player's claim to a spot; I will decide between sheets as to who has the greater claim to a Chosen. Also, don't forget what I said about the Chosen so far, either. So if you feel like hashing out character roles/relations before we get started, go ahead and put up your sheets. Again, I can provide a skeleton if you guys need one.

A skeleton would be nice. That way we can make our dudes and polish them to perfection before we start.

We also need to cooperatively make these sheets, since they're supposed to compliment each other as a 5-man group.

I can either go for a wise-type or anti-hero type of either Earth or Fire.

My plan for non-bender would be a sword/pistol-wielder, a hero of the previous generation. Boomie, but without the silliness.

For earth I think I'd go with a stoic, "actions speaks louder than words"-kind of guy.

Non-bender is my primary choice though.

Okay, here's a basic skeleton for you guys. Add any sections you feel might be missing

Chosen of: Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Man
Name: Try to fit within the universe's naming conventions.
Gender:
Age: Anywhere from 20 to 40.
Role: In the group. Again, the Chosen of Water will end up as the leader.
Element: Some notes about bending (Which may be subject to change depending on Book 3's results) --

• For the Chosen of Fire, Combustionbending and Lightningbending are mutually exclusive: if you choose one, you cannot have the other. [mostlyjoking]And if you're a Combustionbender, you have to be the tallest of the group.[/mostlyjoking]


• The Chosen of Earth may not know lavabending.


• If the Chosen of Air is a formalized Airbending Master without mastering the thirty-six tiers of airbending, then they must describe the technique they created to ascend to the rank. They should also have a Sky Bison in their care.


• Bloodbending is...something to be resolved privately between the Chosen of Water and myself if the player so chooses to have this skill.

Animal Companion: If your character has one, with a series-shared limited of two Team Pets for the whole group.
Appearance: Height, weight, eye color, hair color, scars, missing/replaced limbs, clothes, etc. If an image fits, link it.
Equipment: Any weapons, trinkets, nifty toys, etc. that the character carries with them. Personal vehicles would also go here.

The Chosen of Man may not have guns to begin with.

Personality: Detail is a must here...
Bio: ...and here.

If some of you guys want your characters to be relatives, friends, rivals, etc. with each other, then work on that together and put that in the Bio section.

Also, some more stuff you guys can factor into your history:

Korra disappears ten years after the series ends. The world searches for her for over a year until all but her friends and the Order of the White Lotus have given up the search. The Order of the White Lotus then begin looking for (ultimately) good-hearted bending experts (and one good-hearted non-bending expert) to do the Avatar's job while she remains missing. Five years after Korra has gone missing, all five of the Chosen have been found and accepted the Order's proposal to meet at Republic City when they are called to be given a mission of the utmost importance, which happens to be acting as the five Chosen. None of the Chosen have any idea what they're being called to do. All they know is that the Order of the White Lotus will one day call them to take on a very important mission. So your character could be waiting anywhere from one day to about four years before they're called to Republic City.

And again, don't forget about this post.

Haha. I was thinking about my earth-bender (if I have to do one), and decided that I'd like the guy to have a drawback of some kind. Like Toph has her blindness. Being blind is kind of a thing for me, and I like to explore it, but it felt a bit too much going with the same drawback as one of the original cast. Being deaf could be fun, but would also mean a HUGE drawback... But perhaps a mute... That would be nice.
Looking at the group dynamic of the five-man-band, I saw this:
The Big Guy — (drummer) The strongman of the team. May be dumb. Or mute.

Yeah...

Bump. Are we all still here?

*Makes sound*

Here.

Alright, so how are we doing this?

By mastering Threadbending

Threadbending style!

Poster – element – last post.
FiroIV – Non-bender – 3 weeks ago.
Halvtand – Non-bender/Earth – today.
Chezka – N/A – 3 weeks ago.
SlowPlow – Earth – today.
Broseidon – Fire/Air – 3 weeks ago.
Glintwine – Water – 3 weeks ago.

We should probably make a new recruitment thread, unless the ones who posted 3 weeks ago show up. Old interest checks generally receive a lot less interest.

Also, I would like to play the Firebender instead, and occupy the Lancer role (from the 5-man group thing Crazy Guy stressed). The character would be the anti-hero type; the ends justify the means sort.

Oh? What made you change your mind?

Firebending fit better with the character concept I had in mind.

Fair enough... just to keep the thread up here, am I the only one who thought lava bending to be pure bullshit?

No. It is pure bullshit.

I'm happy to take up a waterbending post but don't particularly want to be the leader
Xx

So I've been eyeing this thread for sometime, and now that Book 3 is finally finished, I think I'll go ahead and place my interest in this!
I'll be filling out a character sheet to apply for your WaterBender, but I was wondering if the position gets taken, would I be able to fill out another character sheet for another position? The Chosen of Man, or Earth perhaps?

@Rinnee: Sure. If there are multiple sheets for a single Chosen, I'll choose the one that strikes me the most.

@Jetipster: Well then you have what we would call "a problem with that." Can't be a waterbender in this one without being the leader. Sorry.

So, should I make an OOC thread for this RP now?
