Originally, the four nations all lived on the central continent know known as the Earth Nation. The Airbenders live atop the highest mountains of the land, where they cut themselves off from the other benders. The Waterbending tribes are split into three, in the Western, Northern and Southern Bays. They take their fishing business very seriously and rely heavily on trade with the Earth Cities. The Fire tribes are spread throughout the land, however one is located to the West in a mountain range. They split off from their roots, the Sun Warriors, seeking fortune in the great continent and became a part of the culture for hundreds of years. Meanwhile the Earth Cities, not anywhere near the level we know them as today, but still hold a particular beauty of their own. Notice that I do not refer to them as a Kingdom, because then, they were just cities and held no common alliance. They were the most intermingled of the bending tribes, where all four bending elements just lived together and held no displeasure with each other. Not in quite some time. However in the recent years, the cooperation they once had has become rare. The Earth Tribes stay inside their cities built with bending. The Fire Tribes are bandits and thieves who live along traveling routes all over the continent. Water Tribes are mostly isolated near the oceans and nearby rivers, focusing on fishing as their main trade but have begun to tap into resources that the Earth Tribes claim as their own. Lastly, the Air Tribes stick to mountains and forage the forests surrounding them. And the Earth Tribes, feeling more established and boasting the largest number of people, have turned to tyranny. Claiming that for their protection, the tribes have to pay. Including their own people. The Air Tribes have resisted this for many years as they have fewer numbers, but the best training; The Fire Tribes have the most experience through battle; The Water Tribes are illusive and extremely good at hiding, or just playing coy. Note that not everyone from each tribe is this way, many of each do not participate in the crimes of their people, but are discriminate against all the same. Like a Fire Tribe member in the city, would be shunned and labeled a thief, having never stolen anything in their life. Maybe even killed, just for being of the same lineage. [center]-----[/center] [b][u]Plot[/u][/b] Our story starts in this time, when even the elements fought each other, before the Avatar ever showed the world what a little balance could do and when the Spirits were commonplace beings that could be found without ever trying to look. Right now, the discrimination is the worst it has ever been. A secret organization, named The White Lotus, are rebelling against the war in small strikes that the tribes are blaming on one another. We will be playing characters from each nations, who have joined The White Lotus, in secrecy and are willing to fight or die until the end of the war. [center]-----[/center] [hider=Rules] 1. [b]Respect[/b] - This rule is the most important because we are all adults here, so can we please act like it. Also, respect my roleplay, rules, other people's characters and others, in general. By respecting other people characters, I simply do not kill them or beat the living shit out of them without their consent. 2. [b]Have Fun[/b] - This rule is also important. Isn't roleplaying suppose to be all about fun anyway? So, let us, as writers, come together and create a beautiful, creative and fun story. 3. [b]GodModding, Autohitting[/b] - Please do not do this or whatever else fall underneath these categories. 4. [b]Activity[/b] - Please be active in both in the In Character and Out of Character. As a matter of fact, I only want active writers only. 5. [b]Characters[/b] - Make them realistic, for one. Everyone, even people in the Avatar world, have weaknesses and flaws. If they don't then they will not be accepted. Make sure that you only use an anime pic for your pics in the character sheet, please. Also, before submitting your own character sheet make sure that you review the previous character sheets so that your characters are not the same. I want all of the characters to be unique. I also want this to be a small roleplay so if someone reserves the spot before you, don't hesitate to challenge them for that spot. I'll pick the writer for that role who has the best character sheet. Lastly, do not ask me if you can play the avatar. Take a wild guess on what your answer is going to be. 6. [b]Character Sheets[/b] - Please fill out all of the areas that I have provided. And when you see a recommended amount of paragraphs, I really mean that recommended amount of paragraphs. Also, to show that you have read the rules, include your favorite avatar moment in the Other section of the sheet. This can also be found in the OOC section of the roleplay. Wherever you seen color=??? in the sheet, put the color of your respective role, please. 7. [b]Posting[/b] - This is meant to be an High Casual roleplay, so please be able to post a minimum of three paragraphs per post. Also, for you speed posters out there, before you post again make sure that three people have posted after your last post before you post again. Please try to post within a two day time span, if you cannot then please let me know so that we are not waiting for your post. If you are going to be gone for three days or more, please let me know so we can discuss a way to take your character out of the events that may be going on at that time. Thanks. 8. [b]Reservations[/b] - Reservations will last for 48 hours, two days unless to kindly ask for an extension.
