[OOC] Legend of Korra AU

[AirBender]

...No offense, but those characters don't look like they fit into the world of Avatar at all. I mean, I'm obviously not the GM so I don't get much say in the matter of course, but still.

[TheUnknowable]

are we allowed to have more then one character, because I was thinking of creating for mercenaries that fight on which ever side pays them the most. is that ok or are we only allowed one?

@Rex

An entire group of benders will probably be a bit much. I was hoping for a bit of depth in the characters and their interactions, and I'm not sure how well anyone could do that with so many characters.

@TheUnknowable

ok, I'll just do the one. I'll edit my post so it's just one character and not four.

[TheUnknowable]

Appearance:

Name: Seth Rush
Age:26
Family: None
Type of Bending: Fire
Personality: Collective, calm, calculating, hot headed
Bio:
Seth was born in the fire nation and trained to be part of the Fire nations army should it be needed at any time. Seth’s training was harsh and brutal but through it all he rose up the ranks and almost became a general if it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t hot headed and felt that any faulty member of the army should be kicked out and replaced with someone who wouldn’t falter. That all changed when the news of the Avatar’s death reached the fire nation. It sent the nation into a panic and only Seth seemed to be at ease through the whole ordeal.

Seth watched as the world went to hell in a hand basket after the Avatar’s death and knew his skills wouldn’t be utilized by the fire nation to bring peace and calm to the world. He soon left the fire nation to join the white lotus o bring peace back to the nations and keep chaos from spreading any further.

@Rex

He's awfully calm for a five year old. Not that I'd put it past the old fire nation, conscripting children, but I don't think the new Fire Lord, Zuko's daughter, would do that.

---

It's mostly a timeline problem. The Avatar was killed 21 years ago and with all of the worldwide trade that happens and radios, it wouldn't have taken more than a few days for the word of her death to reach them.

That said, I'm going to have Kuvira conscript every bender in her Empire, putting the children in military school, so if you want to be in the military as a child, that's fine. You could also be a military brat, and have simply grown up with the troops. Or whatever.

Also, I think you accidentally deleted the equipment and "other" sections from your CS.

[Apollosarcher]

So am I approved?

@TheUnknowable

well he's not five he's 26. I'll just add more to the bio and I did by accident when I deleted the other character sheets.

[TheUnknowable]

@Apollosarcher yep, you're approved.

@Rex I meant that he would have been 5 when the avatar died. I was just joking about it, though. If it sounded like I was being a jerk, I wasn't trying to.

[AirBender]

I fixed what you asked me to. I think you missed the post where I said I did. Just thought I should let you know. :)

[Rex]

@TheUnknowable

oh no, I knew what you meant. I might have come off as a jerk though. sorry. I do have a question. when the Avatar dies, would Zuko's daughter ask any and all fire nation people who left the fire nation to come back to help the war effort or would she only ask those in the fire nation to fight?

[TheUnknowable]

I'm sorry. I thought I had approved it. It's approved now, though.

Hey, maybe you did and I just missed it. Either way the situation, if we can even call it that, has been cleared up.

@Rex

She was on really good terms with the other world leaders and would have probably tried forming an alliance instead, but, now that I think about it, Zaheer would have killed her. Let's say that her son, General Iro, returned to the fire nation and became the new fire lord. He then formed a treaty with the other nations which, among other things, eventually banned the use of spirit beam weapons and formed something like our UN.

I'll add a bit about the spirit weapons and UN to the OP so that the world's views on them are more clear.

[Saarebas]

Cool more people, welcome all =) Also I just noticed that a ton of us are the decedents of many of the Avatars' former foes... are we sure we aren't really the bad guys here?

[Rex]

@TheUnknowable
ok, here's the new character sheet. a lot has changed and I like all the changes. thank you for helping me get the character sheet to a much better state.

Seth Rush

Appearance:

Name: Seth Rush
Age: 42
Family: None
Type of Bending: Fire
Personality: Collective, calm, caring
Bio:
Seth was born in the fire nation to a black smith family. From a young age he was taught how to create weapons using his fire bending skills. By the time he was ten he had made his very own Weapon of black steel he called the Black Star Blade. While he was still young his father told him of the amazing adventures he went on as a kid, but by far his favorite was when his father met the Avatar. Seth admired the Avatar and their efforts to keep the peace. However, as Seth grew he slowly lost interest in black smiting and more into Pro-bending. He would listen to every match on the radio and always said he would be a great Pro-bending champion. For his fifteenth birth day his parents took his to Republic City to watch a match live. Seth was enthralled at the match because for years he had envisioned what a match would look like, but he never imagined a match to be like this.

Seth began to train when he got back home to join the ranks of the Pro-bending players. It was a long road but as he perfected his skills he finally felt comfortable in his skills to try out in Republic City. He left home when he was nineteen to join a Pro-bending team. It was much harder than it seemed because he didn’t immodestly get into Pro-bending but first got a job as a dishwasher at a café. However, every night he would scour the city for flyers or other indications that someone was looking for a Fire Bender for their Pro-Bending. It took him 6 months but he finally found a team looking for Fire Bender try outs. He immediately went to where the try outs where held and watched as the other fire benders had their turn. Seth was sacred at the fact that many of the Fire benders where good and he wouldn’t be able to become a Pro-Bender player.

When Seth’s name was called he went into the try outs and preformed with all his heart. By the end of the try outs he and the rest of them were told they would make their decision by the end of the week and asked for contact information. Seth gave it to them and walked out feeling lest then stellar. He couldn’t tell if they were impressed with him or found him lack luster and pathetic. A week later the two Pro Bending players he tried out in front of came by his work, but he felt they were only there to eat. Since trying out he was pushed up to waiter and while he helped other guests one of the waitress told Seth the two wanted to speak to him. His heart leapt into his throat when he heard this and proceeded to their table.

The two introduced themselves: the earth bender was named Sotoe Grey and his water bender partner was Tulu Frost. They asked Seth if he had some time to talk to which Seth was able to get time from his boss. The two talked about his try out and what things they liked and what things he could improve on. By the end of the conversation Sotoe congratulated Seth on joining their Pro-Bending team called Firefly. Seth wanted to leap up and down and hug the two, but he kept his composure and thanked the two. When the two left and he went back into the kitchen he celebrated like a child who got the toy they wanted for their birthday.

The next day Seth met the two at the training grounds where they helped Seth improve on the skills he needed to while also perfecting the skills they had commemorated him for. By the time three months had passed Seth was waiting with Sotoe and Tulu. He was nervous for his first Pro-Bending match but Sotoe reassured him that he was nervous for his first match as well, but his team helped him through it. That’s what Sotoe and Tulu did as the match began. It started out slow and Seth made a few mistakes, but as the match progressed. Seth got into a grove and with the help of Sotoe and Tulu they won the match.

The post-match party in Seth’s mind was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was on the road to becoming a Pro-Bender player and he knew once Firefly became famous he could bring his parents to Republic City and give them a home to live in so he wasn’t so far away.

The next two years went by so quickly Seth felt it was like he blinked and time had speed up. Firefly was doing great, they had won matches but also lost some but the ladder leaned more towards the winning side since they were 15-5. Seth was at the height of his life. He was a Pro-Bender player, his mother and father came to one of his matches which they lost, but he didn’t care since he got to see his parents. He was even asked to be Sotoe’s best man when he asked Tulu to marry him. He felt like he found the rails to the rest of his life, but that came to a crashing halt when news broke that the Avatar was killed. It was a blow to everyone’s mood and soon it became apparent that everything was going to change.

Seth wanted to stay in Republic City and continue his Pro-Bending career, but he knew the leader of the fire nation would want to mobilize a unit should the peace be threatened. Sotoe and Tulu understood Seth and told him to go back to the Fire nation to help with the peace efforts. When asked about his replacement. Sotoe and Tulu informed him they were having a child and would retire from Pro-bending. Seth wished them the best of luck and caught the next boat to the Fire nation.

Once he returned to the fire nation, his first stop was his parents’ house. He informed them of what he was doing and his father presented him with Seth’s very first weapon, The Black Star Blade. Seth said his goodbyes to his parents and left for the military camp. He wasn’t sure he’d need to worry since the next avatar would show up soon, but something in his gut told him otherwise.

Through the years, Seth trained at the military camp and improved his Fire bending skills for more combat then Pro-bending matches. However, he found that his skills in Pro-Bending made him more agile and faster at seeing potential threats. He was never one to be a leader so instead he followed every general’s order and trained until he could no longer move at times

It’s been twenty-one years since the Avatars death and Seth now finds himself among the youth of the Fire nation. He was never one to be a leader, but now he finds himself as a lieutenant under one of the generals in the Fire Nation. Their mission is to help the White lotus keep the Red lotus at bay.

Black Star Blade

@Saarebas

XD, hey I just thought it would be fun to play someone who was a little crazy, and it made sense to have them related to Azula.

[Saarebas]

@AirBender Trust me I get it, crazy characters are usually the most exciting characters to play XD And Azula's brand of crazy without of doubt will be fun to see in this RP. Oh and just out of curiosity does Aiza take after her great grandmamma in regards of her fire, is it normal fire or is it some of that BURN THE WORLD blue fire?

[TheUnknowable]

@Rex Just wondering, but did you adapt him from a Serenity RP character? The picture and, of course, character names made me think of that. I was in one once, but in never got started good.

The only problems I saw were the names, as they don't fit with the Avatar universe. The team can still be the Fireflies (after all, there's also the fire ferrets playing) but your name, Malcolm, and Serenity don't really fit. Other than that it's fine.

@Saarebas

Oh good question. I guess it would depend on how sane she was at any given time. At this point her fire is normal. But if/when she gets crazier it might change to blue fire.

[Saarebas]

@AirBender Hmm that is interesting, her fire changing depending on her emotional state. Could lead to a very interesting tell.

"Hey are you mad?"

Aiza: "No!"

"Really? Then set something on fire to prove it."
