It would be more polite for some people to read the entire OP, as they've missed some options I hid in the spoilers. I made two choises for water,fire and earth.
A new Avatar series is coming soon, Thanks to [user]Mathak[/user] for a proper trailer and I thought this would be a great time to get this question, I've been pondering about for some time now, off my chest.
If the Escapists could choose a bending discipline, one of EIGHT which one would it be?
I'm going to make some options here, and not entire canonically, I'm going to add some and change some, for the value of the thread
The Poll is for what you would like to be
For added value, state which one you like to be, and based upon your own personality, you could also post what you would be.
If you don't know anything about the show at all, go watch them. the story and characters are really good!
I personally would take waterbending, as I am quite clumsy. I can really use the healing, and I've always liked water. it is soothing and calming.
Do you people see the poll? Could some mod put it back? It had air,water,blood/swamp,fire,earth,metal,lightning and sword as options. so 8. q_q

The element of Freedom. used by a tribe of monks, they are not focused on combat. They detached themselves from the worldy concerns for personal freedom of mind and body. They often evade and dodge, but their bending is not to be underestimated. They have mastered the air, Which includes flying, gliding, and long jumps. They are also said to have great senses of humor!
The element of substance. A diverse people, and very enduring and persistent. It requires a strong will to master earthbending, because the earth does not move on it's own. Failing to acquire the steadiness of the rock will cause your defense to crumble.
- Metalbending. Only mastered by Toph (and told to be teached to others by Toph in the new series) requires a further understanding of control over earth and rock. It gives more diversity than normal earthbending, but as it's more diverse, it is harder to become more with athan you could be with normal bending. More training and discipline is required for this..well.. discipline-

The element of power. They have the drive to get what they want. The element is very unstable, and is has proven itself to be hard to control. Their combat is very strong though. As the element is so dangerous, choosing this discipline requires a steady will, as insanity can be caused by the freedom and power firebending grants. The line between bender and slave to power is thin.
-Blue fire/lightning bending: The few people who are able to bend lightning, are to be very cautious of doing so, as it is harder to control than the already vibrant fire. Choosing this discipline requires a pure mind. If you do not have what it takes, you will eventually go barking mad (not even the powerful Azula could handle it in the end, although it may have been just her ).

The element of change. Almost exclusively found around the poles. They have a great sense of community, and are very adaptive. They often posses the power of healing, and are diverse in their powers. controlling not only water, but also ice, and living things if they must! There are some waterbenders in the swamps as well.
Swamp/bloodbending: Waterbenders who are in need of water in dire situations can sometimes stumble upon these variations of waterbending. Benders choosing this can control vines and plants, and can find water in many places. They can also choose to bend other humans, which is a terrible, but powerful thing to do. as a penalty for their power, they become less focused on healing, and lose some of their purest power. they are able to heal, but not very good.

For the ones unable or unwilling to bend, there is another option. The option of the sword. Becoming a master in the discipline grants a strong technique, and a clear superiority against lower benders. the way of the sword can also be used for bows, axes and other hand to hand weapons. There is even a way to block opponents chi, as used by ty lee.
