History. In the time between Korra's triumphs and her death, technology would progress in leaps and bounds. The discovery of spirit energy once siphoned from spirit vines opened a whole new horizon for technological advancement during what was once an industrial age. Varrick, who was able to reverse engineer Kuvira's machine, refined the process of harvesting that energy and its respective uses ballooned. He unceremoniously dubbed the new source of energy "Synergy". Satomobile Industries turned out the modern car, vehicles with engines that ran purely on synergy. The airship turned into the first spaceship and simple railcars became bullet trains allowing for quick transportation around Republic City. Varrick would go on to design smaller versions of Kuvira's cannon, giving birth to the first man-portable plasma emitting weapon. However, not wanting to further upset the fragile balance of the spirit and physical worlds, he would eventually abandon these designs. It was in truth Korra's last request, her fear being that these innovations would be the fuel for the fires of another great war. And so a century would pass and Korra's legend would come to a close. The spirit of the Avatar would reincarnate and unto the world would be birthed a new hero. At least at the time, that was the hope. After ten years, The Great Panic began. A tumultuous and confusing time when the people of the world searched for the Avatar and found none. In this panic, the citizens of the world clung to a simple truth: the last Avatar to disappear was Aang and soon after his disappearance, an entire nation of Benders engulfed the world in a war a century long. Out of this truth was born a fear and from this fear, action. Conflict broke out among the Bending nations and their leaders began to butt heads in an attempt to discover the secrets the others were hiding. The Earth Kingdom received the worst of it as did its sister city Zaofu. The Avatar was, after all, in line to reincarnate as a native Earth bender. Small raids and infiltration by the other nations were constant, most of which served as taunts to lure the Earth Kingdom and her armies outside its impervious walls. Ba Sing Se began preparations to reply in kind. The Republic, formerly Republic City, had by now grown into its own nation of benders and non-benders alike. Concerned for their own safety, the President and his table of advisers moved to take action... and not just for themselves. Fearful that the entire world would not only submerge itself in another war but would also never be free of it, they agreed it necessary to eliminate the only viable threat. They believed strongly that Benders had been and always were the cause of all great conflicts past and present. The Great War. A conflict that would be remembered by all. The Republic moved swiftly. Reviving old designs by the late Varrick, they began production on new and improved synergy weapons. Firearms made of platinum capable of emitting small sporadic beams of volatile spirit energy. They provided the most obvious of benefits: giving those without the gift to bend a way to fight back against Benders. Armed with both their new found technology and a thorough training in Chi Blocking, The Republic marched on Zoafu, their first target. The most prominent and powerful Earth benders resided in the city and as expected, the city proved the most difficult to occupy. However, fresh and in full force, their march was near unstoppable and the citizens of Zoafu found their power over earth and metal helpless against the weapons of the Republic. After its occupation, Zoafu was used as a base of operations for the Republic to wage their campaign against Ba Sing Se. Rallying the other nations to their cause was an easy task. They already believed the Earth Kingdom was hiding the new Avatar and their past with Republic City placed them at odds with everyone else. The siege that followed was rather quick. Synergy cannons were used to punch large holes in the earthen walls while continuous assault from the air softened up defenses for those on the ground. From there, a combined assault comprised of Fire and Water nation and Republic forces stormed the capital. It was the first time in the history of the world that Ba Sing Se had been successfully invaded. What followed in the wake of Ba Sing Se's conquest set the stage for the state of the world as it is now. While playing at searching for the Avatar, the Republic made preparations for the second phase of their war, with again, a little help from a long passed Varrick. With the only people capable of defending themselves against conventional firearms out of the way, the Republic turned their guns around to face the rest of the world and began the Great Cleanse. Bombs were dropped and millions were slaughtered. The Fire and Water nation were the first to go with their capitals reduced to dust. The Air temples and their people were similarly destroyed when their diplomacy helped only to postpone the inevitable. The Air nomads, still a budding nation, were once again chased into oblivion. At the end of the war, the Republic made Ba Sing Se its permanent home and effectively the last city on Earth. The rest of the world lay beaten and scarred. A kind of synergy radiation blanketed much of the landscape around the former capitals of each nation and the war's effects on the world drained it of its vitality. Flora and fauna began to die out, soil became infertile and many sources of water were left undrinkable. Despite this, the Republic set to work rebuilding, erecting the walls it tore down and shutting their sins out with the world they destroyed. The nation grew once more, stronger now without the threat of the bender or another war. Today the Republic stands alone in its strength and its people grow fat and happy. Or at least those of the Inner Ring do. Technology has continued to develop. Artificial intelligence exists. Wearable technology is widespread and prosthetic enhancement is available although still in its early stages and limited to those with power or those who are better connected in the Underground. The population continues to grow and most remain complacent in their perceived safety, content to live a life confined in walls and eat themselves full of whatever propaganda is fed to them. Others however suffer from a world whose resources cannot match the demand. There are more mouths to feed than there is food. Money is collected and kept in the gilded vaults of the central most ring, leaving the rest to vie for scraps or drown in destitution. Drug use, crime and death is rampant in the crowded and polluted streets of the Lower Ring and those seeking shelter beyond the walls are cut off from most infrastructures of support and are at the mercy of an angry, vengeful world. Rule is held by one King Wu VI who is advised by a room of select individuals, and his word is enforced by the Republic Security Force. Bending continues to be outlawed and remains punishable by death to this day. The world outside the city remains a mystery to most. An unforgiving place rumored to be home to fiends or no longer habitable after the war. Other rumors persist of a place where Benders can live free. Far past the horizon in the distance. If a person could cross the barren deserts and brave the nightmares that call it home, they could find it. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________......

She devotes herself tirelessly to her family's company, working hard to uphold the weight of the Moon name and make good of their legacy of sustainable energy provided to all corners of Ba Sing Se. In a year's time, she is expected to take over the business completely from her father who is looking to retire. Vyska is also a practitioner of self-defense and owns a synergy handgun. What is my opinion on Benders? Through her studies, she understands who they were, what they did and why they are no more. While the life of a bender was once something she marveled, she grew to learn that their very presence induced change in everything and everyone. Although that change would often be for the better, if the record for the last handful of Avatars was any indication, their causality was the continuous breeding of more conflict. Vyska firmly believes that Benders were a lesson to be learned and that the world can learn no more from them. Their greatest achievement was connecting the physical world with that of the spiritual and allowing them access to a seemingly limitless supply of energy. Beyond that, Spirits and Benders have no place in the new world. _____________________________________________________________________	Jack. Said to be a former hitman for a powerful gang, Jack is Vyska's personal bodyguard and is seen in her shadow at all times of the day. He takes his work seriously and does his job well. He has, on a number of occasions thwarted wayward attempts of harm on her person and in this way, has garnered trust from the Moon family. He will at times, and given he is in a good mood, offer advice or engage in casual banter. ___________________________________.......

··· Book One. 347 AG. All of Ba Sing Se prepares for the centennial celebration of the end of the 'Great War', a short but bloody campaign led by the Republic to bring an end to the 'Bender Threat'. In the wake of that war, the walled city remains the last surviving stronghold on a planet marred by generations of conflict. However, despite this, its citizens have enjoyed a lasting peace, one that is all that many have ever known. Strict regulation and a zero-tolerance policy against all Benders have seen to the near extinction of the once proud people. So removed have they become that many within the walls lead lives having never met one. The history itself has become muddled and what is widely accepted as the truth about Benders leaves a disposition that remains disagreeable bordering on cruel, and rightly so. However, with the world now free of their influence, life has been allowed to flourish and spirits remain high. There are those who question this truth, however. Those that look beyond the walls at the world left behind and imagine what might lay in wait to be rediscovered. Those who hear whispers in empty rooms or see lights dancing in the dark. A warm breeze on cold nights, courage in uncertainty or are gifted the kindness of a stranger. Like the memory of some long forgotten dream, they know another world once existed full of life and color. Of many people from many nations in harmony with one another. In harmony with the spirits and they with them. There are those who know of what once was and in secret, dare to ask the question, "Where is the Avatar?". Game. a1 Whether you've come from the interest check or just happened across this game by accident, you are more than welcome to stay. This is a mature take on the world of Avatar, the television series. Mature themes will be explored including murder and death, abuse, drug use and physiological trauma. As stated in the flavor text above, this game takes place in the year 347 AG, roughly 100 years after Korra's time. The world has changed drastically since we last visited it. Of note, after a devastating war that left much of the world in ruin, Benders have become nearly extinct. Very few exist in the world at any given time thanks to an extremely weak connection between the physical and spiritual world. Additionally, as far as anyone is concerned, there is currently no known Avatar. Ba Sing Se now stands as the last surviving city on the planet, currently occupied by the nation of The Republic, formerly of Republic City. The vast majority of all living people reside within its walls. Technology has also progressed to our near future. There is AI, wearable technology and some prosthetic enhancement. Our story focuses on individuals who discover they have the potential to bend when very few can and when doing so is outlawed. They must learn to cope with their powers, embrace and master them or discard and forget them, and finally, find out what happened to the Avatar. If this sounds like your cup of tea and you'd like to join, please check out the 'player expectations' section and brush up on our world lore before making a character sheet. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me here or in DMs. Expectations. a2 My expectations from the players in this game are as follows: Writing level for this game is casual and does not need to be perfect. Post minimum is one paragraph, allowing for faster responses to dialogue or to happenings in the environment. Posting consistency is one week between posts. I will send a reminder before the date and you're free to request an extension at this time or anytime before then, up to another week. IF however you feel you cannot meet the deadline, please let me know. If you fail to reply to this reminder before your time is up, your character will be NPC-ed by me until you return, if you do. Collaborations fall into this rule as well. If you and your partner cannot complete the collab in that time, split it and post what's done or refrain. Proactivity may sound like a strange request but I cannot stress its importance enough, especially at the start of the game. Depending on where players decide to begin, some may find themselves in a 1x1 situation with me for a time. I can guide players toward each other and onto the path of the story, but your ability to fill in the finer details of the world around you will only further enhance the read and help fuel creativity for each other. Encouragement is placed on player created lore and subplots and I am happy to work out the details with anyone who has any ideas they want to explore. Do not be afraid to share it with myself or the class. If it helps, treat this like a 1x1x1x1x1 as opposed to a game played purely reactively. Discord is highly encouraged for easier communication but not necessary. While you may be out of the loop for most of the planning around our story, we can keep you abreast with updates in the OOC or with direct DMs. All players will receive the Discord invitation after their character has been accepted. Mechanics exist but have been kept light. For now, I am opting to not develop a system to govern combat at a 'numbers' level and am instead using something quite basic that only limits the power you can write into your character's bending moves. What does this mean exactly? All players are given a point or a level upon character creation that goes into that character's native element. Training in that element will eventually reward another point that increases your character's ability to control the element. I'm giving everyone the benefit of the doubt that they can persistently write their character's power levels within established parameters. More of this is explained in the 'skill' section but as a small example, a Firebender who has two points in Fire and is using the Waterbender 'form', will be able to redirect lightning. Character Sheet. a3 While character sheets do not need to be coded to a specific template, if you'd like one similar to my example (in the characters tab), simply let me know and I'll make it for you. I'll only need you to provide the image of your character. That being said, these sheets are simpler than most but require insight into your character that aren't typical in other skeletons. You are free to organize the following sections however you like, but they must be included in your final submissions: Image. Should be a realistic digital work of art. No real life photos. Anime is okay. Name. Age. 18+ (I don't know why I had an upper limit for this.) Gender. Element. If you are making a character that cannot bend, they are of course a 'non-bender'. I also want to emphasize the fact that your character does not need to know how to bend at the start of the game. An event taking place early on will unlock it for them. Residence. Where does your character live? In one of the rings? Underground? Maybe just outside the walls? Occupation. What does your character do for a living? (The following two can be answered as your character.) Who are you? This is replacing your standard 'history' section. Instead of history, I'd like to know who your character is today. It might be a little rehash of the 'residence' and 'occupation' info but I still want a summary of your character as they are in the now. Do they have a routine? Why do they work where they do? How do they feel about the Republic? Are they curious about what's outside? This also does not need to be lengthy and should not contain an abundance of information on their past. I'm hoping to create organic interaction and conversation between our characters. Any information learned should be natural and not something fished for from a CS. What is your opinion on Benders? This is where I judge the merits of your character the most. Extra. Anything else you'd like to add? Color text code? Special items they carry with them that others will immediately notice? Pets? Please provide information on one NPC related to your character in the sheet. This should include a name and what that NPC does. Once completed, post your sheet here in the OOC for me to look over and approve. Skill. a4 Eventually, this is going to have its own post, but I've kept it simple enough at the start that this will do fine for now. Your character's bending skill is reliant on points. These points are earned organically through the course of the game. This includes but is not limited to training or studying bending scrolls. Each element has a maximum of three points, and while you can only bend one element, you are free to learn 'forms' that correspond to the different bending disciplines. Doing so will unlock abilities depending on the combination chosen. Since all characters will start with minimal skill, however, this section will remain simplified for now. All that players need to know is that at the start of the game, their character has a single point in their given element. This means that they are only capable of very basic bending. Single blasts of fire. Small bursts of air. A simple rock throw or short streams of water. Despite how primitive this may be, creative, and very discreet use depending on where they are, can give a bender all the advantage they need. Chi is treated as 'energy'. This accounts for very little right now but if and when we get to endgame, it will be your limiter to how many times you can shoot lightning at a target before you run out of steam. And yes, this is a confirmation of the fact that everyone can learn advanced techniques, but it will be a long road before anyone gets there. In regards to non-benders, instead of an element, you can choose one option from an exclusive pool of skills or, if you have something special in mind, you can bring it up to me and we can discuss it. These skills are: Firearms, Self-defense or Weaponry (of which you'll have to pick a melee weapon and stick to it). The point system works in much the same way as elements where more points equates better knowledge and mastery. Forms will be specific to the skill. As an example, melee will start 'normal' but can be upgraded to 'chi-blocking' with the right knowledge. If you think what you're going to do with your character is too powerful, it's best to clear it with me first. Q and A. a5 Sanity43217 Do conventional firearms exist? Yes they do. These are common and easily acquired in and out of Ba Sing Se. Most characters have a basic knowledge of their use, but only a non-bending PC will be able to increase that knowledge. canaryrose Bending is illegal and punishable by death, but how are bending materials regulated? Say a character owned materials like old recordings of bending matches or even old bending training manuals- would that be illegal too? Very very much so. Any materials that the Republic got their hands on was destroyed and they were very thorough. Impossible to be perfect though so some materials can have survived. How your character came into its possession and what you plan for it to mean to them would be important in deciding if it's okay to keep. trenenp Can someone apply to be the avatar or will that be your character? No to both. There is currently no known Avatar and no one's character will secretly be it. Also, with 5 players filling each available slot, I will be not be playing a singular character but multiple smaller ones that revolve around our main cast. They'll be there to drive plots and provide prompts. One may be more prominent than the rest, but none will be my 'main'. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

The five available spots are not first come first serve and while multiple people can apply for one element, I'll only be choosing one per. Players can apply for up to two. As long as you're okay with this, then welcome! Thank you for the interest.

You can wait to decide if you want to commit to conceptualizing a character until after the OOC is up. There's more information in there that might help with character creation.

Si Wong Desert w1 ??? w2 Synergy Power Plant w3 Fauna w4 ??? w5 _ ___________________________________........ _

Wilds. The world outside the walls of Ba Sing Se. The Wilds is the name given to the mostly desolate lands surrounding the last city. As stated previously, much of the land has been ruined by the 'Great War'. The former Bending nation's capitals were destroyed by bombs and surrounding cities were abandoned shortly after, leaving much of the planet empty, left to be reclaimed by the world. Thanks to heavy synergy radiation as a result of the weapons used by the Republic, much of flora and fauna has been changed. The exact nature of this change is still unknown but the people who have survived in the wilderness long enough to tell their tales, share stories of beasts unlike any they've seen before. Twisted corruptions of the wildlife they once knew, roaming the land ever hungry with an appetite impossible to satiate. The cities that bore the brunt of the destruction are actively avoided. Some believe the synergy saturating the air can slowly drive a man insane, sapping him of his will until his mind is no longer his and he's taken. Others say the air is poisonous and will eventually kill any who enter. Still, there are those brave souls who throw caution to the wind and venture into these zones, discovering within whatever treasure or old knowledge they can find. Notable locations include the Synergy Power Plant that is situated in the abandoned husk of what was once Republic City. To the south of Ba Sing Se lies the expansive Si Wong Desert. An ocean of sand impossible to cross. Si Wong Desert. w1 The ocean of sand and heat that stretches from the walls of the city south, past the horizon. At one point in time, it had been bordered by a large river that connected the Full Moon and Chameleon bays, effectively halting the desert's march. In the years after the war, the change in climate eventually dried up the North bay, draining the river of its source and allowing the desert to expanded further before stopping again at the foot the city. Of the many dangers in this region, the most prominent are sandstorms which occur frequently and have become extremely dangerous. Powerful winds can whip up a wall of dust and sand that is capable of tearing through flesh. However, these are typically formed closer to the desert's heart and will only approach the Lower Ring on very rare occasions. There is strong belief that a tunnel system exists below the surface of the sand as sightings of fauna remain constant. The only way they'd be able to survive the storms is if they had access to shelter. ???. w2 _ _ _ _ _ ??? _ _ _ _ Synergy Power Plant. w3 Formerly the Republic City spirit portal. The city and surrounding area have been reduced to little more than the plant itself and the living areas and shops necessary to support it and its employees. The work pays well but is also unusually dangerous for what would otherwise be a simple job. There are constant and sporadic accidents that occur on site putting some people off to such a career. Oddly enough, the accidents have increased in frequency in the last few years and some believe it's coming to a head. Extra safety measures have been put into place and routine maintenance checks have been increased. Like Ba Sing Se, the plant has a small wall built around it that is continuously patrolled. Although the process of collecting and refining energy was originally developed by Varricks, the entrepreneur eventually left the energy business as the Moon family took over. This plant is still owned and operated by this same family today. It feeds the city power via a pipe system traveling the distance between itself and a storage facility located just inside the Lower Ring. Fauna. w4 While still existing in the world in and out of Ba Sing Se, many familiar species from the last century have gone extinct. Most large animals such as the flying bison no longer exist while many smaller creatures can be bought for exorbitant prices if you know where to look. However, usually, only those in the Upper Ring can afford to purchase and care for a pet. Beyond the walls, any wildlife that still thrives has adapted to a dramatically changed environment. Some were lucky enough to live on land mostly untouched by the war while others have mutated, changed in surprising and strange ways from prolonged exposure to lingering synergy radiation. Most have turned feral. Others have evolved, exhibiting behavior that seems similar to spirits from the spirit world. There are many who argue that they are spirits but since so few have ventured out into the wilderness to see these phenomena themselves, truth remains but a rumor. Character pets are allowed but must be approved by the GM. ???. w5 _ _ _ _ _ ??? _ _ _ _ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
