Feanor

Avatar RP (as in the animated series(s))

Well, I am about to launch ichecks for two very ambitious games, but I'd be willing to gm, (preferably with a co-gm) as I doubt this will be a very challenging game to manage.
Should we hammer out a more solid plot or we could just play it by ear see what happens.

Also it seems like we are disregarding the second season of Korra and I am fine with that.

I like that idea :)Unfortunately there has not been a sign of live from the topic starter.

Worst comes to worst we'll start it by ourselves but I would like some input from the OP.

Hmmm I kinda like the concept of an harsh role reversal. Being stopped by the police for bending papers that sort of thing. I almost would want a story in which bending is illegal for citizens. Its used by the military or in specific art instances. We could be the bending equivalent of the equalists. Terrorists to some, freedom fighters to others.
Or just used with permits for artisans/workers etc.

Obviously this is extreme but we are spitballing.

That is right, I forgot about those archers. Been a while since I saw those episodes.

Now, just a quick clarification: I would love a more modern (or future) setting. I could easily get behind the idea of guns existing, in fact I would love it, that was just an errant thought I was exploring.
And I think given more time the equalist tech WILL surpass the benders. I see eventually the benders themselves using the tech to augment their own powers.

Only thing is (this will be a spoiler but you said you didn't mind.) at the end of season two of Korra the portals are opened and left so humans and spirits can freely pass between the worlds. Since this new age hasn't been shown I would LOVE to RP in a futuristic bender setting with regular and frequent interaction with spirits.

The thing is case ammo WOULD even the playing field but that required hundreds of years of testing and experimentation to develop and the people who developed it didn't have enemies that could shoot lightning at them or plug their barrels with ice.
Range could be dealt with by blocking and closing distance, these are highly trained martial artists, they move quick. Sniping or complete surprise would be the only real effective way of using a gun against a bender. Come to think of it I don't recall arrows ever being used. Mei was the only person I can remember who used ranged weapons. I think ranged weapons would have quickly been abandoned due to range increasing reaction windows/projectiles could be affected with more ease than say, getting in close with a sturdy sword.

Personally I like the concept of mechanical bending equivalents i.e. the equalist tech. devices that allow nonbenders to either neutralize or match a bender in a fight. It just seems to me that sort of a technological tree would spring from their situation.

I don't think guns would ever be a viable option in this universe, fire bender would ignite the powder, metal benders would screw up the barrel etc. But I too am a fan of extremes. My vote is primitive, feudal tribes type setting.

I guess maybe I should reintroduce myself?

Feanor is a well known character in Tolkien's work and generally the username is taken on sites like this and I thought for sure that it would be so.
I'm pleased it was not.
Also your signature is totally awesome.

Post Your Pikcha

I realized I never posted here on the old site so might as well give it a shot.

Since that one is my new avatar might as well give you a different one too:

Possibly interested if a pleasing plot presents itself.

Holy smokes! I was just thinking about how to find my old friends and lo! One appears before me! Greetings, we are well met, master Rtron!
