An Avatar (The Last Airbender/Korra) RP?

Awesome! I'm glad it got a catch XD and I'm definitely willing to add more and arrange the plot if we need to!

An Avatar (The Last Airbender/Korra) RP?

Hello! As a kid I loved the tv series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" And now that I am rewatching the series, I was inspired and thought it'd be really fun to go into the world of the Avatar! :D

I was thinking about whether or not I would want this RP to be before The Last Airbender, or after Legend of Korra, but I ultimately chose to have this years and years before Avatar Aang came into the picture... For spoilers sake and I also prefer TLA's setting and plot a bit more.

So, what I have so far is this:

Rough Draft Plot

Before an airbending avatar's death, a group of very powerful benders made it their mission to assist the terminally ill Avatar in trying to keep peace and order to the nations. When the Avatar finally passed, the world started to search for their successor... But years went by, and no one could truly find the newest Avatar. Afraid that the chain might have been broken, The Order that once helped the previous Avatar took action, doing its part in keeping and maintaining peace across the world.

Eighteen years after the death of the Avatar, The Order took control, some leaders going power hungry, or greedy, or some were simply corrupt. Although there weren't any true conflicts or wars, the world seemed a bit tense. After a waterbending teenage thief went into the Avatar State, the world was eager to find and see the new Avatar.

Afraid of the new responsibility, the waterbender fled, and it was the right move. The Order had become certain that they were the true way of maintaining peace, and the Avatar always stared some conflict during, or after their lives. It was never "true" peace to them... And so when the news came out about the teenage boy, they went after him to try and make sure they were still in charge.

The boy now knows the threats, and has known pain and grief for most of his life. Although the new pressure of being the Avatar scared him, it also gave him hope... a meaning. Now, he had to travel across the land, make friends, and learn from them the lessons he had to to become the Avatar!

So this is what I have so far! More will come into play in the OOC, and I'd love to hear questions, or additions to the plot if you have any :D

If you're interested, or have further questions, please let me know!

The Marauders (A new Adventure)

@Forsythe

Thanks for the clarification! As far as being immune to diseases, I think @Hawlin's suggestion of them being immune to "biological diseases" would work! and later on down the road there could be that special "virus" that could do some harm to the Faira... It'd be a fun little story arc XD

The only two concerns that I have now is a little backstory for your personal character (if you'd like to write it out somehow in the IC, we can work with that, but we'd love to see what your character is about :D)

And lastly, the role on the team, the only problem I have with you being the shuttle pilot is that your character might not get a lot of action, or may have to be on "standby" while waiting for others to post. Maybe later in the RP, as your character kinda gets comfortable with working with the team, they could get another position on the side, just so you aren't stuck just being our taxi driver XD

The GM's and I are more than willing to try and find a way for your character to join in, we just needed these clarifications :)

We were thinking of starting the RP with the Marauders going to their first mission (which will be explained in detail)... We were also planning a pirate ambush on the way there, and that could leave room for us to find a solution?

The Marauders (A new Adventure)

I'm so sorry for the delays, guys. The Fourth of July happened and then work started up again after I may have drank too much.. and it was just a spiral from there haha

But before we accept your character, @Forsythe, we had a few questions we wanted to be clear on!

- Since we have already chosen Starlance's character as our pilot, would you be willing to change to a new position, or is that kinda a temporary one since they are a new member and not really a part of the crew yet? keep in mind we don't accept co-positions

- What do you mean as ambassador? As most newly met races would speak with the Council, not Exploration crews. At most they would inform council of a new planet and if pushed maybe deliver the person to the Spire. Or is this just a position they hold on their planet and you wanted to state that fact?

-Could you copy what you have in google docs into a hider instead? It is difficult to open on mobile devices and such.

- When you say the race is immune to all diseases, do you mean literally immune or that they have not been introduced to diseases to get sick and think they are immune?

We like the character, but we just wanna make sure we are all clear and have and understanding so this all works out in the IC :)

Bio:

His Story

I was actually born and raised on Earth, which is not that common now a days for an explorer. A modest, humble place in the heart of the United States named Colorado. My dad left our family when I was really young, and although I don't remember him fully, I know what he looked like. Mom always assured me and my sister that he was the greatest man she ever met, and will come back to us one day. But that never happened. Our family tree went all the way back to Leif Erikson, and our great great great great great grandfather was on board the first space shuttle out of our solar system... But that was my father's side, and he left a long time ago. My mom was broken by the fact that he was gone, but she kept a brave face on for us, and assured that he would be back. She drank more and more as time went, but she took care of my sister and I with great care... And then He showed up. My father's apparent best friend started to get friendlier and friendlier with my my mom, and soon enough they married. He was a disgrace of a man. He did nothing but smoke, drink, and yell at my mom. When he wasn't doing that, he was beating me for standing up for her.

But my mother never left. Maybe if she knew the fate of my dad she would have done something. Her sadness weighed her down, left her the broken pieces of the woman she once was. She obviously wasn't in love with the Gabe. I had no idea why we stuck around with him. I started to rebel against him. I got into fights at school, I would fight back against the step dad, make my attacks look like accidents, and would constantly try and get Gabe arrested so he would leave our family alone. But it never worked. The best days were when my sister, my mom and I were alone in the house. We would act like a family, and be happy, and my cold side would melt away as my mom would comfort me.

One night I came home from school to find my mother in a bloody mess on the ground, my sister crying with a bloody nose, and the stench of liquor filling my nose as I saw my step dad over them. I finally snapped, and fought him off. My mom would often compare me to my dad. Strong, brave, willing to step up and do what's right... But as I punched Gabe for everything he did, I thought if my dad was so great, then why did he leave his family with this mess.

That was the start of my criminal record. After that my step father never pressed charges on me, my mom isaid it was all an accident, but he sent me to a military school... At the spire. The Galactic Committee's headquarters. Turns out I also come from a long line of decorated soldiers in the Chase family, so they were eager to take me in. I never considered myself as a soldier, but the more I got compared to my dad, the more I got angry with him. He sounded perfect, too good to be true, and yet my mother was a struggling mess, my sister had PTSD, and I was thousands of lightyears away to do anything to protect him. So to me, Todd Chase wasn't that special.

I was on eof the top in my class when I eventually graduated, and had my own squadron and ship. We were a peace keeping unit that dealt with new interactions with alien colonies, or any hate crime distributions, or attacks on Committee owned areas. One of the Committee's enemies planned a terrorist attack on a new allied colony that recently joined the Committee. We were there just in case, but the ambush worked beautifully for them. It left my whole squadron dead, except me, but I didn't leave uninjured. I had many scars, a severe concussion, and my left hand now had a horrible shake. I was nicknamed Atlas for withstanding and having to live with all the pain and punishment during that specific battle.

I was put on medical leave to go back home and see my family. I wanted to see them for so long, to hug my mom and sister and to find some sort of peace with them. They always knew how to comfort me in my troubling times. But as a got home, I got the worst news you could ever get. Jamie Chase died after "falling down the stairs" two years ago. One year after that, my step father wasted the family inheritance, and was so unstable to take care of my sister that they took her away. I tried to call her but she wouldn't answer. She blamed me for not staying, and refused to tell me where she was now. More weight was put on my shoulders. I was heartbroken, unable to think straight...My step dad ruined my life.

I wanted to fight him, to kill the man who murdered my mother and took away my sister... But I didn't. My left arm was still too badly hurt. My heart couldn't take it, and so I left without a word to that man. The next morning the Committee police were at my hotel door, and I was charged for the murder of my step dad, and my next door neighbors. Since I visited yesterday expecting my family, my prints were fresh at the house. I was court marshaled, found guilty very quickly, and was sent to the highest security prison in the Galaxy known as The Rock.

I was 22 at this time. I was broken. I hated my step father. I hated that I was in prison for a crime I didn't do but wish I did. I was mad at the Committee for finding the wrong guy, for throwing me here after years of my service to them... But most of all, I was mad at my dad. Wherever he was, I hoped he was miserable with the fact that he left his perfect family behind, and I hoped he found out that his wife was dead, his daughter was traumatized, and his son was in jail. I hoped that crushed him more than it crushed me.

Then the Committee came to my cell. They offered me another chance to make myself something other than a husk in a cell. They offered me a ship, a chance to lead. To be a Stellar Explorer. They told me it was a suicide mission, that I would most likely die within days by some pirate brigade, or get swallowed up by some giant plant on some planet... But a part of my held an idiotic concept. I had hope that I would be able to clear my name, or to find my father, or see my sister again... I accepted, and I was the owner of a new Assault Class Exploration Ship: "The Monroe."

I was assigned a team, my natural leadership skills and military experience made them trust me a bit more than most... But my time in the COMMITTEE military left some tension with members of the crew since they were criminals. That soon faded when we survived our first assignment... Fighting a fleet of invisible ant-men type aliens on a remote planet surrounded by quick sand... Our reputation grew mission after mission. Whether it be planet data collection, or recon strikes. We became the best exploration team in the galaxy, and got the title: The Marauders because some crew members demanded payment, or looted the place after a mission, or having no mercy on pirates that assaulted us. Personally, I didn't care about that. I took what I needed, and didn't care what most of my crew did. I was too focused on finding my sister.

It's not been an easy ride. I've made close friends, and I've lost many of them. There are some old seasoned veterans on the team, and new guys. I would do anything to keep them safe, and I continue my search for my father, and have been pestering the Committee to let me see my sister again... I've never told anyone about my past. All they know is that I was put away for killing my step dad and neighbors... And yet they trust me. I will protect my ship, and my crew with my life... But there are only a very select few that know about my past and my alternate goals, though. Maybe my past will come back to haunt me... But for now, I'll go along with this ride... I'm with great people, and although we are technically on a suicide mission, I've had some fun. What can I say? A group of crazies and criminals do know how to have a good time.

Personality: Contrary to many criminal stereotypes, Ray can be noble. He is brave, and headstrong, and a bit of a smartass, especially to the Committee. He hides his past with jokes and sarcasm, and he takes his role as a leader very seriously. Although most of his crew are criminals, he trusts them with his life, and he has a strong sense of protection-- especially towards children and mothers. Ever since he lost his squad when he served in the military he feels that every casualty taken on his crew is solely his fault, and it wears him down no matter how hard he tries to hide it. He may look like he doesn't care about certain things, or what people think about him, but deep down he does. He isn't a murderer, or a criminal. Just a guy who has had a lot of bad luck.

Weapons: An old Colt Revolver that has been modified to shoot elemental charges. It has been in the Chase family for a very long time. Raymond also has a combat glove, the knuckles equipped with G-force technology, when it makes contact with an opponent it sends a mach-speed punch, producing a large bass-y boom as well. The glove also produces an electric whip that can expand up to ten feet from his palm.

Star-Fighter:

Raven

http://s200.photobucket.com/user/maxwell1272/media/raven_by_karanak-d4inzt1_zps86b8099e.jpg.html

One of the first generation star-fighters, Raymond first flew Raven during his time in the Military, when he was put in charge of the Marauders he found out that his fighter was sent to be scrapped. During a mission to recover intel from a wreck on a junk planet, he found his old ship sitting there to rot. He managed to fly it back to the Monroe and patched it up over the three years of being a Marauder.

Family/Relationships?: Has a strong and complicated relationship with the Monroe's Doctor, Luirae Driani. They have known each other since Raymond took control of the Monroe. She's the only one who knows the true story of what happened to Ray. Although most of the crew notices Ray's attraction to the doctor, his past and his sentence keeps him from saying anything to anyone.

Other: Ray loves playing old music whenever they are relaxing, or when flying Raven.

@Forsythe

That could work! The "discovered in the IC" might be a bit more tricky though, I don't want to leave you in a spot where you can't post because we haven't gotten there yet XD
