[@Aquaknight] Haven't opened up the OOC yet. That'll be this weekend (Fri or Sat for me) [quote=@BrassOtter] Hmm... I'm trying to come up with ideas for a character. How would a trainee from a splinter Dai Lee faction sound? Someone brainwashed into believing in the 'glory' of the Dai Lee before Aang ruined it? [/quote] There's a few things that may cause this to be difficult and it's mostly to do with timelines... however read through because I do have a question not just for yourself but others that may resolve not only this question but many more. The Dai Li was originally set up as a secret police force by Avatar Kyoshi to protecting the cultural heritage of Ba Sing Se. Due to the Avatar Cycle (Earth->Air->Water->Fire) the next Avatar who is an Earthbender would not appear for another 300ish years, assuming each Avatar lived to an age of about 75. Add the 100 year Aang absence and that is a rather long time for a splinter group to still exist, and hold a grudge (not to mention it would break into the steampunk era of Korra which I want to avoid). It's partly why I want a different universe so we don't have to work with "all" these details, but it's a fine line between that and re-inventing the wheel. So the question is this, would people be comfortable with Avatar Kyoshi as the current Avatar? From there we can drop Roku, Aang and Korra, keep groups like the Dai Li and Kyoshi Warriors, and know where we stand in regards to the timeline. [i](Your idea, [@BrassOtter], could then possibly work if the result of the Avatar's illness caused a splinter group of the Dai Li to form of those who want to take further action)[/i] Just food for thought
