Ok guys, sorry I didn't get back to you when I said I would, but a few things came up and to make a long story short, I haven't slept yet. But anyways, consider this open for applications. Everything after this I'd appreciate if discussion on sheets were kept to a minimum or pm's. Also, it's been decided by a majority that it will take place during the Post-Roku/Pre-Aang area of time. So it's going to start in the Earth Kingdom in Ba Sing Se. No one knows Roku is dead yet, that's about the one thing no one can know at the start. I'll let you know later on, since I"m going to say the Earth Kingdom Avatar temple is South-West of the city near the Serpent's Pass in the mountains.

The meet-up will be determined once I've chosen the sheets and decided how best I can get you all in a small enclosed space for the Fire Nation to fry alive. And since the Alt. Timeline was the one with the next highest votes, I'm going to change up a few things. It may be nothing major or just a matter of canon manipulation, but things'll be a bit different. Big things like Roku, Cabbage Man, or the Dai Li will still be the same, but you'll see as the story goes on.

Name: self-explanatory
Gender & Age: how much do falling on narrow horizontal sufaces feet first hurt you? And how often do you remember the pain?
Concept:(bender,non-bender, which Kingdom you're originally from,what type of bender you are etc.)

Appearance:how pretty are you? Or as the case may be, how much do we wish to look away from Sparky Sparky Boom-Man's ugly cousin?

Personality:how much do you abhor cabbages? Would you kick a Platypusbear when it's down, or do you just go with the flow(that's not an invitation, air benders) and think everything's hunky-dory?

Equipment:your swords, staves, weapons of mass bending supernovas, etc., go here, also go ahead and put anything special, I'm going to assume Waterbenders have at least a personal bending source on their bodies.

Fighting Style: this is really only for the non-bender sheets, so no real reason for benders to have this on their sheets, you've got your bending and the associated martial art I'll assume you're at least proficient in, unless this states otherwise.

And just for reference if you are going to look up your associated martial style, here's a vid that'll at least tell you the name so you can write it for your character. I'd rather have each character to write their combat scenes slightly different from one another.

Bio:guess what? You weren't born yesterday, so you can't be the Avatar, really the only limit I'm imposting. And also, Air Nomad sheets can have their Bison, but I'm imposing a limit of four grown bodies to a Bison(including the Air Bender steering, not a weight restriction, just a matter of space, you saw how crowded it started getting when Toph and Zuko joined in on the saddle orgy.(wrong choice of words not-withstanding, you know what I'm talking about.)

I want a game during the great war that the Fire nation launched against the world. I want to see Air benders around as they haven't been destroyed (yet!) and Fire nation forces advancing on Earth Nation soil, attacking the water tribes, etc.

I say Korra present and Post-Amon, even with that there will still be a lot of tension between normals and benders, would be interesting to see how it plays out in RP form. :)

That's true... But couldn't he have just a spoiler tag? So say: Anyone joining this RP, know that there will be full spoilers.

Hell yes! I've been Waiting for this one.

I think we should have it post Korra. Like, far enough into the future where Tenzin has gotten the Air temples back in order and we can have people pick Airbending without too much explaining. That also somewhat avoids spoilers from the lastest season.

I think we tapped the well as far as Fire Nation being the bad guys. And that is likely what we'd be getting more of if it's pre Aang.

Anyway, enough of this rant. Anything post Aang will work for me.

Alternate timeline, that way we can avoid spoilers for Korra, have the air temple and even do the Fire nation war if we so inclined.

Dr.Wonderful, YOU ARE A MAD GENUIS.

You can't do that as it would mean that all of the air temples are inhabited by Tenzin's kids.....
Bleh. Air-bending will come to an end.

I vote Post-Roku/Pre-Aang. It would be cool to play out the early stages of the war, as the rest of the world learns about the Air Bender genocide, as the Water tribes go into isolation, and as the Earth Kingdom starts losing ground. I don't thing this part of Avatar history is even fully fleshed out, so it would be very free flowing.

Also this. I'm a sucker for alternate timelines.

Hahaha.... Oh wait, you're serious.
Bending is earned through the right of birth - If you're a member of a bending family, you have a chance to become a bender (A pretty high one). Some may be kids of two benders but aren't ablr to bend, but there are no kids of non-benders who have no benders in their gene pool. Early benders were wise sages that learned of it in the time of legends (Remember people learning water bending from the moon and the two earth bending lovers? There are also the dragon worshipping fire people and.... hmm, can't remember where air bending came from).

No Iron, a bender is someone who's been opened up to bending. There are enough non-bending families, Toph's for one,(though we can't say for sure about her ancestors.), to argue that it's an individual ability, not a family trait. Now they have to have the "spark, breeze, wave..."running out of metaphors for the elements so I'll just say the "stones", to bend in the first place, but just because they're from a non-bender family doesn't mean they can't bend, just there's a pretty low percentage of people from non-bending families that it seems that way. As canon for the rp, no matter what we do, bending's an individual's talent, not a family thing.

The Bison taught the Air Nomads by the way, Badgermoles Earthbending, Dragons Firebending, and Waterbenders decided the moon was pretty.

And can we please keep the clutter to a minimum? I intend to keep using this thread for sheets and the like, and I'm a lazy SOB who doesn't like to scroll to find something. Also, I'm going to request that Skype be downloaded. I was once one of you, believing that Skype was just a crap download, but now I see the light and have come to peace within myself.*cue dramatic music and humble pose.*

P.S.: Who the hell voted and didn't post? because I'm reading 15 votes and only six posters, who do you have to rip the spine out of before they start listening to instructions around here? *grabs nearest sinner, rips his skin off and proceeds to eat his brains with a spork*

Air Bisons.

Anyway, The only time I seen people actually learn their respective masters, are the examples Ironruler posted, and Toph learning to, "see" and Zuko, and Aang freaking badass dragon dance.

Red, we've been over this: Every time you try to eat my brains, I introduce you to another fandom that will slowly rot your soul away. Do not make me tell you about Urasawa man, cause I'll freaking do it.

Anyway, I guess I'm the only one who voted for Post-Republic City founding/Pre-Korra. Because damn I loved the look and feel of Republic City, and it'd be fun as hell running around early 1930's mobsters, setting up speakeasies and the like.

Not to mention pro-bending's beginnings, more or less. And the first Equalists coming into the light. And who doesn't want to be hired guards for a Cabbage Corp. shipment?

And I remember, your brains are in no way tasty, which is why I immediately go to spine ripping and pineapples up your rectum.

Tough call. I'm gonna go with either:
a)Aang-Present/Pre-Ozai overthrow
b)Post-Republic City founding/Pre-Korra
c)Korra Present/post-Amon
or
d)An Alternate Timeline (which would entail what exactly?)

Basically, I'm up for whatever, though if I had to give a conclusive answer, um... no clue, sorry.

Heh, I remember ages ago my first rp I ever tried to run was about the whole 4 elements thing. I fleshed it out a great deal and kept a lot of things tribal based, and bothered to use the Zodiac astrology of an Asian relation.

What I ran in to as issues were powers (why can't I control the water in someone?) and other related things. Then fast forward a few years Avatar (TLA) pops up and explosion of what I imagined and more so comes to life. I don't bother trying to host any more Element Rp's related directly to the four, because it feels a bit stale and overused, along with annoying feeling that I have to keep using ideas from the series =/ (it's complicated).

I wish you the luck of the ancients, and hope the best that yours turns out to be better then mine ended. (D**K bending effectively came in to play and basically made issues arise like an active volcano).

I think it would be great to have it take place in Republic City, just before or even during the Equalists start causing trouble. But really, as long as it stays true to the spirit, ha ha, of the original material, I'm game to try out for it.

Though, I'm honestly unsure if I would be a bender, and if so which element, or a non-bender. Both really have their pros and cons to be honest. Benders are not end-all, be-all. Look at Sokka. Or Asami. Both have talents that their bender friends just don't have.

[EDIT]: As Pappytech pointed out in an earlier post, another reason why I would LOVE for it to be in Republic City: 'Prohibition-Era' style in just about everything. The clothes, the speech, the attitude. All with that Avatar flair. It would be AWESOME.

Whatevers comes along, I wouldn't mind NOT being a bender. I'll do like the more Acrobat/ Chi-blockers type thing.

Basically, Nightwing.
