Avatar, Brothers Dissolution ~ Book 1: The Avatar [OOC]

No! This role-play is not based on Aang, so please read the entire plot. I am just covering the original Avatar series for anyone who has not watched it.

"The world will never be in balance, because the elements are always in rage."

The Four Nations once lived in a time of peace and prosperity, in a time where all elements were thought to be equal; but Fire Lord Sozin, best friend to Avatar Roku himself, had plans for the future that were by far selfish and corrupt. Fire Lord Sozin wished to expand his empire across the world, an idea in which Sozin proposed to Roku during his wedding – in which he (Sozin) was the best man of. He commented that the Fire Nation was going through a period of great prosperity and that he wished to spread it to the world by expanding his empire; however the Avatar, keeper of balance, refused, saying that the Four Nations were meant to be separate.

Later in the years Roku discovered that Sozin had set up colonies in the Earth Kingdom, and because of that Roku confronted Sozin and the two engaged in battle. Leaving Sozin's palace in shambles and yet sparing his old friends life due to their past relationship, Roku warned Sozin to never again move forward with his plans or it would result in his "permanent end".

Twenty-five years later, Roku's home island was consumed by a volcanic eruption so massive that Sozin could see and feel it from a hundred miles away. Traveling by dragon-back, Sozin assisted his old friend and tried to push the lava flow back... But the poisonous gases soon overwhelmed Roku and left him hindered. Begging his friend to further aid him, Sozin soon realized that with the Avatar dead he could persist with his plans... So Sozin escaped, and left his old friend there to die along with Fang, Roku’s dragon.

Twelve years after Roku's death, Sozin used the power of a comet (Later named Sozin's comet) – in which gave the Firebenders an unbelievable boost in strength – to attack the Air Nomads, hoping to destroy the future Avatar. They made sure the Air Nomads were no more; however Avatar Aang had just recently and reluctantly fled so Sozin spent the remainder of his life searching for the Avatar so he could destroy the last Airbender. Unfortunately he was not successful, the Avatar somehow eluding him.

Later in the years Sozin seeded a son, Prince Azulon, who shared his father’s thirst for domination. After Sozin died peacefully in his sleep Azulon was his father’s successor, becoming the new Fire Lord... Who appallingly followed in his father’s footsteps.

Fire Lord Azulon later came to marry Fire Lady Ilah (Who died before Azulon and was said to be a Firebender), and they bared two children, Iroh and Ozai. Azulon had long stated that Iroh would be his successor but Ozai later protested, saying that Iroh was a quitter because he let his son’s (Lu Ten) death get in the way of the siege of Ba Sing Se – which had lasted nearly two years (600 days). Plus the bloodline would end due to the death of Lu Ten.

Iroh was also known as the "Dragon of the West" and was said to have killed off the last of the dragons. In truth, he had lied to conceal and protect the last two dragons who had taught him the true art of Firebending. Unlike the rest of the Fire Nation who drew their power from anger and rage, Iroh uses the energy from life – this is something that was later taught to Zuko and Aang.

Also, when Iroh was young, he had a vision that he would claim the capital of the Earth Kingdom, but later he realized he was meant to claim it back from the Fire Nation. This also goes along with stories of Iroh venturing into the Spirit World.

Azulon told his son Ozai that he would be terribly punished for saying such fowl things, Azulon refusing to betray his firstborn son. Azula, daughter of Ozai, claimed to Zuko and her mother that while spying she learned that her grandfather, Azulon, said that Ozai must learn how it feels to lose your firstborn son – in Ozai's case, that meant Zuko.

Ozai had every intention to carry out the execution but his wife, Ursa (Granddaughter to Avatar Roku), plotted with Ozai so that he would become Fire Lord, which in effect would spare Zuko’s life. Ozai said that his wife committed “vicious, treasonous things that night” and killed Azulon, and because so, she was banished... Although speculation wonders how she could have killed Azulon, he being the most powerful Firebender at the time – so it is thought he was killed in his sleep, or poisoned.

The next day at Azulon’s funeral the sages conducted a ceremony and named Ozai the new Fire Lord, stating that Azulon’s last dying wish was to be succeeded by his second son. Iroh didn’t protest the crowning of his brother due to mourning his son’s death as well as hearing it was his father’s dying wishes for Ozai to be Fire Lord.

At 13, Prince Zuko attended a meeting with his Uncle Iroh, a meeting that consisted of his father and his generals. Speaking out against one of the general's plans that entailed sacrificing an entire division of new recruits in a diversionary maneuver, Zuko began to disagree with the general, saying that they could not sacrifice loyal Fire Nation troops. The Fire Lord furious, he demanded that Zuko participated in an Agni Kai, or a fire duel. Zuko believing that he was going to the fight the general that he so rightly disagreed with, – Iroh never defended Zuko, but deep down, he to agreed with his nephew – Zuko turned around to find out that he is not facing the general, but his father instead. Since Zuko spoke out of line not just in front of the general, but in his father's own war room, it would be his father who he would face.

Refusing to fight back against Fire Lord Ozai, – his father – he was badly scared/burned across his left eye and then banished, his father finding him a disgrace, a coward. Zuko was not allowed to return to the Fire Nation with his honor and future throne until he had found the Avatar – which at the time was practically a lost cause, if not impossible, the Avatar having been missing for over a 100 years.

Two siblings from the Southern Water Tribe, Katara and Sokka, later discovered the last Airbender, Aang, frozen in an iceberg. After freeing the boy, Avatar Aang let himself become prisoner to the Fire Nation so that they would spare the Southern Water Tribe. Katara and Sokka, with the help of Appa (Aang’s flying bison), saved Aang and began their journey to help the Avatar master the elements. Water, Earth, and Fire

Traveling to the Southern Air Temple and finding Monk Gyatso's (Friend and master) skeleton, Aang was enraged and accidentally went into the Avatar State in which mistakenly let the world know of his return. This is also where Aang acquired Momo, a flying lemur, and the last of his kind. Soon after, the entire Fire Nation began to come after Aang. That is when the real fun began. Moving from place to place, meeting different people, and making lots of new friends along the way, the Avatar’s power/wisdom never ceased to grow.

Almost a complete year passing – since the return of the Avatar – and after a few attempts to upstage the Fire Lord, such as the eclipse (Day of Black Sun) – which lasted only seven minutes – ended all the same, with the Fire Nation taking several prisoners; but in the end, the Avatar had finally mastered all the elements just like Avatar Roku had told him to do... But yet not in time, because Sozin's comet neared. With Katara, Sokka, Toph (Aang’s Earthbending master), Zuko (Aang's Firebending master) who had finally discovered his destiny, and countless others such as the White Lotus, – which consisted of King Bumi (Old friend of Aang), Iroh (Zuko’s uncle), Pakku (Aang’s/Katara’s Waterbending master), Sword master Piandao, (Sokka's master), Master Jeong Jeong (Aang’s first Firebending master), and countless other masters – the final battle began. Which took place in Ba Sing Se.

Princess Azula (Daughter of Ozai, sister to Zuko) set to be crowned as the new Fire Lord, Ozai went off to become the Phoenix King, better yet the king of all that the world knew. The comet giving the Firebenders immense power, Ozai planned to finish the war and completely destroy the Earth Kingdom – the last true threat to the Fire Nation – once and for all.

The Avatar having lost the ability to go into the Avatar State, – thanks to Azula from killing him with a lightning strike, in which Katara healed him/brought him back from using special water from a spring in the Northern Water Tribe – Aang went up against the Fire Lord. In the midst of the battle, the Avatar was struck in the back by a rock and somehow the lost ability returned. Using all four elements, he readied to destroy the Fire Lord but instead used a talent called Energybending, – in which he recently learned from a Lion Turtle – allowing him to take away Ozai's Firebending, and end the war without killing being the answer.

Simultaneously, Katara and Zuko fought off Azula, – who went power crazy and banished most of her subjects – and defeated her by the means of restraint. Note that Azula controlled blue fire, and that she was said to have been like her grandfather, a Firebending prodigy.

Zuko being crowned the new Fire Lord, and happily being reunited/paired with Mai, Zuko proudly stood before all nations with the Avatar at his side, promising that he would regain the Fire Nation's honor and help rebuild the world from the scar that his nation had left.

Ending with a single passionate kiss shared by Aang and Katara... – at the Jasmine Dragon, owned by Iroh, and located in Ba Sing Se – the world/elements were rebalanced, but it would still take many centuries to patch up old wounds... Note that Azula was institutionalized at a mental health facility on a remote island and Zuko found out that his mother was not just just banished, but also killed.

No other imbalances occurred after this event, but yet Aang still had to undergo the biggest of trials, he had to rebuild the world after so much uncalled-for destruction.

Years of promoting peace and love, years spent with all Four Nations tirelessly working to rebuild, all finally came together again when Aang and Katara shared each other’s hand in marriage – it was a history making event, being the first time two nations had come together. Air and Water

In the time to come, both Aang and Katara had three children, one Waterbender, and miraculous two Airbenders – two girls, and one boy. Trained by only the best, they came to be masters... Who had a duty to their element. With the Air Temples being filled by refugees and astounded scientists, Aang and his children took their place in attempting to rekindle some of the Air Nomad culture for the sake of future generations.

Nearly 300 years after this event, several Air Nomads and descendants of Aang currently exist... And the world has been grander than ever – it was not just 300 years, but instead, 300 years of peace. Aang's great feat still being talked about till this day.

Only one other Avatar has followed in Aang's footsteps, and the world is now joining together yet again to discover the next; the past Avatar, Avatar Kiew – born of the Water Tribe, female – having died sixteen years prior to this day. Which means that this roughly takes places during the new Avatar's 16th birthday – and according the "Avatar Cycle", this should take place in the Earth Kingdom; Ba Sing Se to be specific.

Presently Roshan has an older brother, and the two brothers are princes to the Earth Kingdom. Both of them were naturally thought to be great Earthbenders, but the older brother was the one born as nothing less than a prodigy. Because of this, he taught his younger brother everything he knew. Roshan is very out there, so it took longer than usual to teach him because of his free-spirit, however one thing is for certain, his older brother is better than him in every way possible – but they still love one another greatly.

Today, the Earth King stands before all nations, previously announcing that today – ironically to everyone else, his younger son's 16th birthday – he would unveil the identity of the next Avatar. Everyone anxiously awaiting for the Earth Kings eternal wisdom, it is said that there was no joke about it, his son, Roshan, was indeed the next Avatar.

Everyone halfheartedly bowing in respect, and the Earth Kingdom cheering on one of their own, it truly came as a surprise that an uncaring, flamboyant, spoiled prince like Roshan was the next Avatar. It even came as a surprise to Roshan himself. Him, the Avatar, impossible – but his father persisted it was true after a small private confrontation with his son.

He is forced to say goodbye to his brother, his father, and even some of his friends because his journey starts immediately – he is shipped off to the Fire Nation to master Firebending. But not without a few valiant companions to tag along.

His brother is not so courteous to say goodbye to the new Avatar, because deep down there is evil in his heart, and it’s time for it to finally be released. It should have been him! He was the Earthbending prodigy, not his little brother! He should have been the Avatar! In the time to come, Roshan’s brother steps up to become the new Earth King, – after his father mysteriously dies in his sleep – and the war soon after begins out of jealousy and unjust events! It was time that Roshan's brother proved just how powerful he really was.

And this is where our story begins, the unveiling of the... Avatar!

The year is 300 ASC, and it's the year of the ram.

Brief Biography:
Suna was born in the Si Wong dessert between the Lover's cave and the Library. Her parents were part of a traveling tribe of sand benders, nomads that often stole important items to sell and make money so that they could by food and water. Suna was raised in the nomadic tribe, often being the one to get into trouble and scare her parents and the elders of the tribe. She went on many a mission in order to steal something, but more often then not she either botched the mission, or was the one who did the stealing, and it was not when her people had wanted. Suna had a vastly different idea what was considered important, and because of that she was soon banned from going on the missions. She quickly became bored and started to teach herself how to ride and drive the sand gliders, learning her craft of sand bending quickly in order to master both the element, and the glider.

It took her two years before she had mastered both, and when she had, she knew she was gone. She packed up all of her supplies, filling an old gourd with sand so that she would always have her element with her. In the dead of the night she left her parents and her tribe, taking off in the glider and leaving behind the only home that she had ever known. She spent two years traveling and gathering items, stealing many of them, but taking others from abandoned cities and towns. She heard the stories of the Avatar and decided to see if she could find him or her, hearing about the new war and slowly being discovered by the other kingdoms.
Appearance:

Suna wears a strangely shaped cloth helmet. It looks much like the head of a cat, reinforcing her name. The helmet acts as a shield for her ears and eyes against the sad and the sun. She wears a tattered poncho type garment that has a stiff collar that wraps all the way around her head, acting as more of a shield for her face against the sand when the wind blows. That same garment acts as a protection against the sun for her skin and keeps her skin from being stung by the blowing wind. Under the long poncho garment, she wears a tight leather suit that is a tank top and shorts. Under the bottom half is cotton leggings and her feet are wrapped in tight leather boots.She carries a large leather pack that holds all of the items she had collected, plus her three water skins, two food bags and her three sand nomad knives. On her right hip is the gourd filled with the sand and on her back attached to the bag and folded flat is the strange star shaped weapon.

Two days on the ship and she knew right away that this was the life she wanted, the life she had been yearning for. She went to many places and learned to fight, mastering her water bending their on that ship.

She loved to experience new things, and the chance to see the naming of the new avatar was something she was not going to pass up.

Codeword: "The last Air Bender"

::Raises hand::
I need to draw a new picture of him, plus I'm going to therapy in twenty minutes, so I'm reserving this space for my profile.

Is it okay for me to have a socially inept hermit man of science? Is it? Can I use him? Oh please oh please oh please? ::gets on knees and whimpers like a puppy::

Yes you can. ^^ Create a hermit man of science, although who would you interact with?

Well, he's the bastard child of a fire nation man and earth nation woman.(Which is why he's a bending inept twit) Since no one comes from the fire nation I'll stick his house in an Earth Nation forest.

I may make another character too, since you guys have so many and I'd feel left out. Like penis envy, but with characters.

Alright, Earth Kingdom forest and another character it is. ^^

I'm not joining this. One Avatar role play is enough for me. I just want to tell you that you need to change your writing requirement rules, or you need to have this thread moved to the Casual Role Play section. The rules of FoG are set, so the Advanced section actually requires at least four paragraphs ((twenty sentences)), and the Casual section requires at least two paragraphs ((ten sentences)) per post.

My rules have been fixed. Thank you for informing me.
