At least Bethesda treats us like we're people instead of wallets on legs that need milking machines, like EA seems to think customers are.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Assorted and Zoidberg, meet the Avatar you're all going to have to spend the RPG protecting/teaching/flirting with until she's powerful enough to protect herself.

@pandapolio In that case, sure.

@Xandrya, its just me being funny. I like the guy being older...
@Xandrya, i was just a suggestion. I'd hate to tread on your creativity.

@pandapolio, you can go a little younger than that. Just noticeably older than most of the other characters. So mid-30s is fine.
@pandapolio, any of the below roles not yet claimed. Or you can negotiate with someone who took two.

Here are the roles so far:
Avatar Rosai (played by @regitnui)
[Mentor Figure]
[Love Interest] (played by @xandrya)
[Comic Relief] (played by @sassy1085)
[Jerk with a Heart of Gold] (played by @angelofoctober)
[Chi-Blocker] (played by @devcon1)

[White Lotus Member] (played by @collectorofmyst)
[Earthbending Teacher] (played by @allhollowseve)
[Firebending Teacher] (played by @neo is delight)
[Airbending Teacher] (played by @december)
[Waterbending Teacher] (played by @candlelitcraft)

[Antagonist character] (played by @xandrya)
[Antagonist character] (played by @december)
[Antagonist character]


Working on Rosai, will post her when done. @Xandrya, maybe make your Water Tribe Bad Boy older than Rosai? She's 22.
@Xandrya, both of them are more or less alright. I just think having metal in your clothes would be odd outside Republic City and an outright risk given the availability of electrical weaponry.

But, if he has has a leather jacket and a motorcycle, Rosai will probably go all weak at the knees anyway just due to shee coolness.
@AngelofOctober Calm down. I'm certainly not going to throw you out.

Think of it like Japan or China. The cities have modernised, but the culture still runs strongly in the people and the rural areas are almost unchanged. Rosai's people are practically the same as they were in Aang's time, let alone Korra's. You have people, youth, who are embracing new styles and technology, but you also have the old or more spiritual people, who maintain the traditions.

Air nomads still fly on bison and glide in wing suits/traditional glider staffs. The Earth Federation, despite their political changes, are still varied between farmers, cityfolk and others. The Fire Nation would have changed the least, and the Water Tribes have probably established a trading route or tourism industry through the spirit portals. Only the United Republic would likely have enough infrastructure to support modern tech and vehicles as we know it.

And don't forget the influence of the spirits on technology. Dark Spirits in LoK destroyed mecha and snowmobiles, so a spirit portal and wilds in the middle of the biggest city in the world probably slowed down technology to the point where a computer might be more of a risk than it's worth developing. There's no space programme, so no GPS, no internet, no satellite phones, and no intercontinental warfare. You want to beat someone's face in, you still need to be able to see the bloke. Hence, bending.

In our case, bending is not obsolete, but nonbenders can match its power easily with chi-blocking lessons or tasers. That stops or restricts bending triads from exploiting nonbenders. An Avatar was never a military or temporal authority, but a balancing factor. If there's one person capable of stomping battleships into pulp or worse, war suddenly becomes a lot less attractive even if you're overwhelmingly stronger. Rosai may even be expected to learn the "fifth" element of chi-blocking or "nonbending".

So you're worried that the Avatar world is too similar to the modern world to be interesting? I assure you, it's close enough that we don't need lessons on imperial China to roleplay properly, but it's different enough that we aren't going to worry about Google Earth giving away the Avatar's position to hackers. And anyway, the Avatar is the target, not the solution. That's why there's a Team Avatar.

@pandapolio, I googled, and eventually found on Deviantart. My pictures are drawn by somebody I don't know for a purpose I don't care about, so I stole them.
@Xandrya@AngelofOctober@candlelitcraft, I wasn't going to say anything, because I could see that type of leather-jacket biker fashion evolving in the world of Avatar, but he does look more Mad Max than Avatar. Give him a motorbike (LoK season 2) and Rosai is enchanted anyway.

I've decided that Rosai is 22 and underweight for her height, if that changes anyone's age on their character. I'll have a sheet up here by the end of today;(14 hours).
If your character is in the same age group as Rosai and has been training for most of their life, then I'd say go ahead and give them their tattoos, @December
