Air
The element of freedom

Water
The element of change

Earth
The element of substance

Fire
The element of power


Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Republic City. It was meant to be a place of peace, a place of harmony. My past lives have worked tirelessly to maintain the balance of the world. Modern developments have made this a struggle. It is my duty as the Avatar to uphold the peace that my past lives have brought upon our world. Not even the Avatar could do this alone. I'll need the help of others if I am to live up to the expectations of the world.


Synopsis

The four nations, along with Republic City have been peacefully expanding and developing for several centuries. Korra's successor had lived a fairly easy life. He was perhaps the first ever Avatar that didn't have to resolve any major conflicts. Pro-bending became a nationwide sport. It was a steady, successful era. Scientists across the world developed new technologies, many of them making life much easier for the common folk. However, with these technological advancements came a new evil. One corporation, dedicated to the study of bending, developed a drug that allowed its user to temporarily bend an element. This meant that non-benders could become benders for a short period. Benders could also use the drug, allowing them to bend multiple elements at the same time, a feat only previously accomplished by the Avatar.

This new invention caused rioting everywhere. Rivalries developed among the benders and non-benders yet again. Those who had read about and sympathized with Amon were now rising up. It was the beginning of a revolution. Only this time, the Neo-Equalists would be on a more even playing field.


Bender's Serum

The Bender's Serum is the name given to the drug that provides temporary access to one of the elements. It is traditionally injected into a vein. The serum will allow for roughly two hours of unlimited access to a single element. People who have experimented with multiple serums at once have been known to have adverse side effects, the most common one being death. However, this does not apply to those who are naturally gifted the ability to bend an element. When a Natural Bender injects the serum, it works the same way as it does with a non-bender. This means that dual-"wielding" elements is entirely possible, even if it is only temporary. The serum has yet to be outlawed, however there is talk among government officials on how to deal with it. For now, they have decided to limit access by placing taxes on the serum. This essentially cuts off the lower class citizens' access to the serum. Those who are moderately wealthy (Not dirt poor) could still afford to buy the serum occasionally.
Each element corresponds to a different color serum. Below is a legend to help tell the difference.

It's going to be a female. A great roleplay needs a strong female lead. :D

@jumpadraw Just to clarify, does Chen have much practical fighting skills? This RP is going to be heavy with combat, so it would be wise to give him some skills. Rather than just stating "Martial Arts," could you eleborate? Each element is based off of a certain form of martial arts. Earth, for example, is based off of Hung Gar, with hints of Southern Praying Mantis style Kung Fu in the Metalbenders (Most notably Toph). Since Chen grew up with a family of Earthbenders, he could very easily adapt to these styles. Other than that, I like him. He could allow for some interesting interactions between the Avatar and whatnot.

Thanks. By the way, if you need any help with your non-bender character creation in the combat area, I can help you out. I've played a non bender before, too so just ask me if you need help. I'm more than willing to help you out. :)

@Chickn

I added in a part where his brother teaches him some fighting skills, and either way, I'll add some more detail later this evening/tomorrow. @HushedWhispers offered to help me a little, so I'll send them a PM asking for tips.

@Everyone, I updated the OP a bit. Hopefully I didn't break the BBCode stuff.

@ChicknHere's my character, and let me say, it turned out a lot more dark then I thought when I started. Kinda took the whole 'love triangle' thing from Korra, then upped the ante by eleven.

Okay, I updated my Character Sheet. I gave him a few more skills and some weapons, as well as added some more depth into the story to explain why he uses the ones he does. Everything seem okay, or should I change anything else?

@Raijinslayer He's quite... depressing. I'm cool with that. He'll be an interesting addition to Team Avatar. The only problem is his name. Earthbenders = Chinese. Please change his name to something more appropriate, and you'll be good.

@jumpadraw He looks good. Accepted. :D

Also, @Everyone, if you have any ideas for the slang names, please feel free to suggest. I wasn't feeling very creative when coming up with it, but I didn't want to keep referring to them as "Benders who were born with the ability to bend" and "Benders who use the serum in order to bend."

@ChicknThat leads me to my first question: Do we all know each other all ready, or are you going to cause an event that brings us all together?
