It has been many, many years since the world has last seen The Avatar born. The cycle ended with the element of Air, which is the element of freedom when an Avatar by the name of Amaya passed away under unknown circumstances. When she died, benders became much harder to find. The world used to have an abundance of benders but now, it seems as if they all have vanished.

Before Avatar Aang and his successor Korra, there were many more benders. Recorded history, however, has left a trail that fades away whilst tracing back in time. Fast forwarding in time, after the infamous Avatars Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yangchen, and the unnamed Magma Bender, the Avatar Spirit was within a water-bending host. This is hundreds of years after Aang triggered the Avatar State that would freeze him in a glacier for Sokka and Katara to find. Hundreds of years after Korra was even conceived.

Let's take you a few years ahead to the recorded history in the world of The Avatar that faded away to the memories of the dead lurking the Spirit World. Dragons have been hunted and extinct, and the Air Nomads have already fallen victim to the wrathful genocide the Fire Nation would inflict upon their temples. The world was finally at peace despite everything that happened in the previous years, or perhaps people might have spoken too soon? The world had been threatened once again and many people thought that their next Avatar wasn't going to come until Lian Shu was born.

With the uprising threat terrorizing the nations, no has been able to take them down. Not the Chiefs of the Water Tribes, the King of the Earth Kingdom, The Fire Lord of the Fire Nation, or even the Monks of the Air Temples. This new threat is a group of chi blockers is calling themselves Equalists, who are lead by an unknown assailant that has mastered an ancient and almost forgotten art, which is removing bending from all benders. This unknown assailant is hellbent on destroying not only the Avatar Spirit but the notabilities and councils of the four nations so that the ancient art could again be dominant.

There is only one person who can take this new group of chi blockers down, The Avatar but they won't be able to do it alone. Lian Shu has come out of hiding and is almost ready to face the destiny that has been placed upon them. The Avatar hopes that things will fall back into place once the threat is eliminated and that the nations came live in peace as they did before.

I usually do this as a small group roleplay but been thinking about expanding the possibilities of more characters. This is just an interest check but if you have any questions, concerns, or anything else, just post them below. I rewrote this to fit a different direction, as well. Can't wait to see who's all interested!

I really want to join this but my RP slate is full as it is. So I will root from the sidelines and lurk this like it's nobody's business.

Okay seriously, good luck with this fantastic roleplay!

I'd think I'd be down for this. I have a few ideas up my sleeve depending on what you'd want to see. Primarily I'd like to play an air bender but seeing as they're technically all dead my excuse for being one would be that my guy's heritage was from a farmer family that left the order and lived in a deep backwoods end of the earth kingdom long before the purge. Basically he'd be more like an standard earth bender who fights with force more so than passive. But if that's not allowed I can try making a shady water bender, or a grandson of a Yunyan Archer who learned his family's techniques.

I'm up for throwing my hat into the ring. Never done an avatar RP but now's as good of a time as any other

Interested!

i'm interested!

I'm interesting in an avatar RP, but I'm having a hard time understanding the story. Who is Lian Shu, and what time period does this take place?

I ask because the story says the avatar cycle is over, and then goes back in time to before Aang, and then to the point where Aang was in ice, then something about Chi Blockers and Equalists which is the Legend of Korra, and then Lian Shu shows up and is like "This is my story now."

I'm confused.

I'm interested.

Yeah I like the idea of being in a roleplay with the Avatar but I also am not sure what's going on in the story, lol.

I just finished re-watching Avatar so I am very interested in this! I have never seen Korra though (don’t shoot me) but it doesn’t seem that will be too much of a problem? Anyway, I’ll be keeping an eye out. I do want to know the story though since I thought this was after Korra but then it also sounds like before?

I have a Waterbender character I can use, so I have interest.

count me interest!

Interested as well! Though also would like clarification of the time period.

I'm interested in an Avatar RP. The only problem I'm having is understanding the timeline. It seems to jump back and forth a bit, just need a bit of clarification. Otherwise I'm excited to try it out!

Y’know considering the release of ATLA on Netflix, and the subsequent popularity on this interest check, and general confusion as to the setting. I think it says something about the current supply and demand for an Avatar RP...

Someone should really get on that.

I'm interested, but much like some of the others I am somewhat confused on the time period. Thx

could definitely be interested in this.

would it be okay if i did a kiyoshi warrior character?

In true Avatar Spirit

The GM vanished lmao

And when the players needed the GM most....they vanished....

Very legit.

Honestly, I’m really disappointed they haven’t been on :(
