Alright so we have a plot and a maybe banner that I tried HARD to make XD Which is kind of sad, but I was trying to get it to be transparent and I have no idea how to do it XD Also I think I like option two better? But okay! PlotThe world has been without an Avatar for about eight years and chi-blockers have become very popular and are typically a peaceful group of benders and non-benders alike(though non-benders make up the majority). The world has learned to live without an avatar and has found it to be easier than they expected. No longer is an avatar needed, at least that is what they've been told, the nations have lived peacefully not know where the avatar is. Now everyone knows the story of what happened to the avatar, the Chi-Blockers have made sure of that. At a young age the avatar showed promise and started training young, but they were "liberated" from their multi-element bending and memories while still young. With no connection to Raava and only the strong connection of their birth element, earth, the avatar has no idea of who they really are. Supposedly, with their chi blocked if they are killed, that is it the end of the avatar as a whole. So with that knowledge, and a lot of ambition a young group of chi-blockers sets out to find and kill the avatar. And in contrast another group is setting out to find and bring back the avatar. So! There is the basic plot! Now what we need still1. People 2. Coding 3. Someone help me fix the banner please XD 4. Anything else? 5. More plotting?? Helpers: lazy penguin Myst ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ Intro: Hello everyone and thank you for tuning into Republic City news! It has been ten years since the Avatar was last heard of and we seem to be doing just fine without them. Still no one knows exactly what happened and if you want honesty ladies and gentlemen I don't think many of us are too concerned. In other news we have had an increase in the number of Chiblocker(Insert group name) gatherings and attacks on the different bender gangs. They seem to have picked up the torch our Avatar dropped. Tensions are high between benders and nonbenders but so far peace looks to be a constant! Good looking out everyone! Speaking of looking out, probending season is around the corner and let me tell you we got some strong competitors this time around. With the new element of airbenders added this season after years of demanding equality the nomads finally got their wish! We hope to see as many people filling the stands for our first Matches of the season! This has been Chu Yong with Republic City News tune in tonight for more information on rumors of rouge (insert chiblocker group name) ! Have a great afternoon Republic City!Character List Pro Avatar (better name?) The Probender- A young aspiring probending earth bender Inky The Mercenary- Rough tough and hard to restrain(Myst love you got anything better?) Myst? I think right? The Thief- Good friends with the Mercenary, but reluctant to join in this find the avatar thing. Open The Mole- Part of the chiblockers. Could be a secret bender or just someone who isn't really in the cause. Open The Nomad- Go with the flow kind of person, is just tagging along cause they vibe with everyone Open The Performer- Maybe a street performer? A mover star? Open Any more ya'll can come up with these are just ideas I had! Anti Avatar (Better name?) Open The Ringleader- Ambitious young chiblocker, heading the break off from the main group with violent intentions. Open The Manager- Big hancho in the bending world controls everyone scheduling Open The Metalbender- A trained police officer with bending talent to spare Open The Monk- The not so peaceful, monk who thinks peace can only be achieved once obstacles are gone Open The Tech- Could be a big name in the tech world or could just be someone really good with it? Open The Warrior-A well known but low ranking(maybe?) military figure with the need for a good fight Open Idk who to claim in the antigroup but i'll figure it out ya'll take your picks or develop your own person I'm fine either way! Form: Maybe we could do some faceclaim or not Idk I'll have a basic form for the front page and then this one is for the character page [Name] [Age] [Role] [Gender/Sexuality] [Bending or Non Bending] Looks, Personality, Extras Map I got this off google, its a free to use one but idk how to give credit?? I still need timeline stuff but tbh i might just skip it cause i'm lazy and just do a summary or not do it at all XD We might just do brief this is where the world is at now

oooo okay i'll see what i can come up with
so what if like the avatar doesn't realize that they're the avatar yet? like they have a very strong connection to one of the elements and think they can only bend that one element. then like maybe they have a subtle connection to one of the others that they don't really realize. like maybe they have some air bending abilities that flair up in like gusts of wind or like air pressure dropping but they don't connect the dots until they accidentally bend a more obvious element?
if the avatar is missing you could work with having groups be anti-avatar for sure! like maybe some people feel like the avatar has abandoned them? we could also play around with the fact that if the avatar has been missing for x amount of years people no longer feel like they need the avatar (or benders in general if you wanted to go with that?) and could be wanting to hunt down and destroy the avatar to protect their new way of life?
i really like the idea of multiple groups too, that way we can have more joiners without having a group be like 30 people strong lol

I like the chi blocking idea a lot!! Were you thinking that the avatar would have been discovered and trained a bit before they were attacked/chi blocked and lost their memory? So people would know that the avatar cycle was continued/the avatar was reborn?
Also just and idea- but if you wanted to make the avatar chi blocked maybe we could play of that for a major antagonist group? Like maybe the person who blocked the avatar was part of/leads a group that is strongly anti-avatar and thought that their blocking would/could permanently sever the connection between the avatar and Raava? If they were the leader of the group (or even if they weren't maybe they embellished their story so they could gain power and are now currently in control?) maybe they told the others that as long as the avatar was chi blocked they wouldn't be reincarnated if they died- causing a group of younger and more ambitious members to try and find the avatar and kill them?
I think small group works perfectly!
Oooooo I'd love to hear your ideas for her!

Yeah so there can be a group who is like, the avatar is alive and we should find them and then then the chi-blocking group could be lead by the person who did it right but plot twist they were too nice to kill her right, so maybe they played the role of family like a cousin or something and gave her to someone they trusted but she has since left home and now even they dont know where the avatar is Only like a vague idea o: And i love the idea of some young hot shots being the people to come after the avatar! So they are basically trying to end the avatar cycle with her cause everyone is like we don't need an avatar meh lol She is an earth bender baby I made up a WHILE ago so lemme see if I can find her stuff Her name is Gema

ope sorry for the delay i fell asleep lol
what if the origins for the organization were centered around using as little violence as possible? since chi blocking is an easy way to disable benders without excessive violence or destruction they could have started out as almost a vigilante group that targeted dangerous bender criminals? and then as they went on the organization shifted to being more anti-avatar (since they prolly saw themselves as doing the avatar's job for them) and as new members joined they saw the more nonviolent policies as obstacles in the way of their new goal.
if you wanted the leader to have some kind of connection to the avatar you could have them give the avatar to a sibling/ family friend to look after? but like if they didn't know the avatar would have amnesia then its very possible they just left them wherever they attacked them .
ooo i can't wait to see what you have! is Gema going to be from the Earth Kingdom since she's an earthbender?
also a bit off-topic but did you know when in the timeline you wanted this to take place?

yeah i really like the idea that the group wanting to kill the avatar is like a fringe group of young hotshots lmao. also- just cause i was curious- do you like the idea of benders being able to join the chi blocking group or do you think it would be solely non-benders? i could see it both ways with the leaders thinking benders are too prone to violence and not allowing them to join or them just letting them in to increase numbers.
bruh i haven't finished korra yet either in like halfway thru season 3 lmao. i feel like if we did it before the events of the show it would be almost too early in the timeline since we know the previous 4 avatars before aang and we'd need to go back to an unknown earth bender. i feel like either doing an alternate timeline or having it take place after korra works the best for sure!
and yeah if you need help let me know and i'll see if my very limited knowledge of coding can be of use!

ope i just binged the last too seasons and so now i'm done lmao
yeah i think we could defo do something either where korra dies young after the events of the show and have it take place after that? that could also lead to potential plots and tensions between the nations too!
lmao i don't think im that much better that that but i'll see what it can help with! Also i love how the banner looks, the only thing i might change would be the title text since it's a little hard to read!

I’m on season four still LOL But I think we could do that I don’t know how it ends yet but we can be general about it. I like tension between nations we love that xD Thanks for the feedback! I couldn’t tell if I’m blind or if it really was hard to see LOL I’m working on what color would look good against the blue I’m thinking maybe white? What color do you think would work? ALSO super sorry I’ve been mia my best friend was over this whole week cause her AC broke

(eeeee so sorry ya'll! I got busy this week BUT) (Hi myst <3) (Yes of course you can come along for the ride@raincat!!! More peeps yaaaas) (And I don't think we will be going too much into detail about LOK universe cause I haven't finished it, but things like probending will be a thing and tech stuff of course but I'll make sure to cover that ) (So, ya'll I'm thinking about doing some kind preset peeps? Like maybe main roles???? I don't know what those roles would be, so maybe we can throw that idea out buuut if anyone has some ideas?) (Also I'm working on fixing the banner I'mma post all the ones and you guys tell me which you like the best XD) (AND I'm gonna try to figure out this coding thing XD wish me luck Ive always been bad at it)

I was thinking that for the group hunting the avatar it would essentially be a power thing? Like essentially as chi benders in the avatar’s absence they’ve become the largest resolving power when it comes to conflicts and such, which would also make them a source of guidance for the people which would allow them to influence society and such in whatever direction they want, so if they hunt down and kill the avatar, they can keep it that way ya know?
Also I’m so sorry I can’t help more with coding!! I was never very good at it lol

Ohhh that would be good!! Cause then that person in the council cause essentially act as an anchor for their power in the city and also be the one giving the hunter group their orders
I believe in you!!!!

Hey, whatever works!! xD and then I figure the other group would be a split faction essentially - like people that didn’t like that the other chi benders became sort of power hungry and weren’t fans of their desire to be the overseeing power so they decide its time that society had the guidance of the avatar again
