Synopsis
The United Republic of Nations, scarred by its constant inner political turmoil generated by several inexplicable generations without an Avatar, had brought itself on the verge of destruction once again. With corruption and crookedness spurring everywhere, the people of the Republic are becoming increasingly impatient with bending and non-bending politicians alike. The law is dwindling in front of aggressive rebellions that rise stronger and stronger every time. Secret organizations, operating in the dark, are spreading propaganda creating more imbalance than ever. In all of this ruckus, there is one particular figure that stands out the most: Kaito, an ambitious earth-bender who claims to have discovered the secret to conquering all elements and to be able to teach it to anyone willing to learn through the means of advanced technology.

Kaito, teamed up with former child prodigy, Jirou (now an infamous scientist) has been running experiments on benders, analysing the course and levels of energy through the body when bending and attempting to mimic them artificially. The results, though successful, cause extreme mental-physical disparity in subjects usually leading to them alienating or exhausting themselves to the point of no return. This artificial bending of the elements is achieved through special equipment in the shape of a headpiece meant to supercharge the human brain. Needless to say, it is unstable and cannot replicate the Avatar state by any means, which is the ultimate purpose for both Kaito and Jirou in an age where the Avatar gene seems to have gone extinct.

Kaito and Jirou, although branding themselves as apolitical are quite obviously the one real power in Republic City, now a ruin of its former self, but while their intentions are held in high regards by most people, the Order of the White Lotus is nothing but sceptical. Moreover, they feel more pressured than ever to find the Avatar before the Republic finds a way to annihilate itself.

Characters

Benders (artificial or natural)
Frejya (waterbender)
Sepa (airbender)
Selene Slakmung (swampbender)
Alessandra Cesarino (earthbender)
Goivi (earthbender)

Non-benders (civilians, politicians, warriors, etc.)

The Order of the White Lotus (currently NPC, but applications for positions within the Order are welcome)
Tulunak Auroheck (waterbender)
My character(s)



Name
Frejya Yukimura

Age
25 years old

Location
Republic City

Type
She is a natural waterbender, but is unaware of it, so she starts out by using Kaito and Jirou's invention.

Element
Water

Occupation
Medical student

Personality
Frejya is a temperamental individual, although under regular circumstances she appears calm and composed. She is witty and talkative and has plenty of silly moments to her name that make her funny to remember. She may come across as arrogant and condescending sometimes, particularly when she feels like she is more knowledgeable than her peers, but can be persuaded to submit in front of superior wisdom. She is renowned for taking gut decisions that always hit the mark, although that doesn't always hold true, as exemplified by her scar which has left her partially blind, an incident that threatened to endanger her position as a medical student. Being the relentless creature she is, she saw a solution in the invention held in contempt by natural benders and decided to go for it. After years of practice and regular use of the device she developed a decent understanding of blood-bending that although useless in combat, proved to be her key to continuing her studies.

Sepa


Name
Sepa

Age
20

Location
Patola Mountain Range, Southern Air Temple

Type
Bender

Element
Air

Occupation
Monk/ Spirit cleanser

Personality
Sepa is a sanguine person most of the time. His calm, spirited composure is a result of a life mostly spent at the temple with the Air Acolytes and his mother - A descendant of Ikki, granddaughter of Avatar Aang. He resembles other airbenders in his compassion for all lifeforms, but, when pushed or faced with injustice, his peaceful attitude will change into a tornado, using his airbending to conquer any wrongdoer.

Sepa is a loyal friend who, if faced with too much boredom, can turn to silly stunts such as Avatar Aang's favorite invention: The air-scooter.

The few moments Sepa has been outside the temple has resulted in him instantaneously missing his temple and the spirited ways of his people, seeing as the world has turned to technology and turned their backs to the spirit world.. His one dream is to visit the famous Jasmine Dragon tea shop, founded by the famous White Lotus member Iroh.

Additional Information
Sepa believes that the Avatar has continued its circle after Avatar Korra, but that it has been lost in the advances of technology.

Doctor

He is quite sarcastic often expressing his deepest friendships through witty comments but also a deep set loyalty. He is a promising young doctor although the guilt of keeping his abilities secret and leading a double life is constantly at battle with his honesty, as well as his moral dilemma over the use of blood bending that also rages inside him, He cares for Frejya as a close colleague and friend and highly disapproves of her using the invention for many reasons.

Additional Information
Agent of the White Lotus within the hospital to observe the effects of the invention on those that manage to make it to hospital in time. He is a water bender but keeps it hidden from his colleagues as he's seen the jealousy the ability to heal provokes in the medical community and he doesn't want to a giant promotion just yet.

Name
Selene Slakmung

Age
18 years old

Location
Republic City

Type
Swampbender

Element
Water

Occupation
Herb merchant

Personality
Selene is a little confused by everything around her in the city, seeing as how most of her life was spent in the swamps, and so most new technology was basically unknown to her, especially the cars. She tries to use the charms that she learned in the swamps to sell her goods, though that tends to gross people out. The situation of the city wasn't apparent to her until she got there, the swamp being a distant place. She is used to dirty things, so the mud and the dirt never bothered her. She tries to make friends with the city people as often as possible, even if it gets to the point where everyone knows her well enough to avoid her, causing a downer on her business. Her manners are incredibly lacking, and she spits a lot.

Additional Information
Selene was sent by her parents for the purpose of selling the herbs that grow naturally in the swamp, though for some reason her parents told her not to mention the swamp part. She knows multiple herbal remedies, and also is a fair hand at cooking, her favorite recipe being boiled swamp lizard. Owns a pet jaguar-cat named Murgo

So, I want to clarify some things with respects to my last post. BendCorp, funded by Kaito and Jirou who will become increasingly active throughout the story. As shown, they have been working on manufacturing an Avatar, which hints at them having an interest in helping the people who are losing hope and in lending a helping hand towards fixing some of the things that are off in the United Republic of Nations as well as addressing the biggest issue yet: the Avatar. As for the person Kaito introduces as "The New Avatar", the post shows a masked person, bending three elements in a row while hooked up to the BendCorp invention. This Avatar figure is not an NPC and will not make another appearance until 'the right time'. Whether this figure turns out to be the Avatar or something else remains to be seen.

I hope this'll make things spicier from here on out. Happy posting, everyone!
