[quote=@Halvtand] I've always been fascinated by the non-benders of the Avatar-verse. They have to contend with superhumans in anything they do and some still come out on top, that's awesome. But then again I like having my characters in uncomfortable situations so... [/quote] And that right there is likely why there's as much appeal for the position as there is right now. [quote]I expect you're right. On the other hand I believe the benders are harder to create (the avatar being a total bitch) since you hve to think about more stuff. The non-bender is relatively easy. At least that's how it seems to me.[/quote] I would disagree and say it's probably the opposite, actually. All styles of bending are still the same basic concept, so you're just throwing varying personalities and histories behind a general ability. Non-benders, as you mentioned in the above quote, have to find ways to contend with an unfair supernatural disadvantage, and they have a toooon of options available to them, from different kinds of martial arts to hundreds of different weapons, strategies, and the like. Are they spiritual at all? Are they something of a beast master? Adaptive thinker? More traditional military tactician? There's more options than I can count, really.
