Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra AU meme
Earth, Fire, Air, Water.
Welcome to the World of Avatar, which your characters is now in — whether AU, or dragged through the magic of time and space. Is your character from any of the four nations? Are they a bender, or not? Are they an able chi-blocking artist, or do they sell cabbages out in the streets of the Fire Nation, Ba Sing Se, or even in the South Pole? Do they have to ride the large naval ships of the Fire Nation to get across, or do they have access via beautiful steampunk-inspired ships...?
It's your story.
▶ ERA
1. BSC — Anytime before Avatar Aang was born. Have you met Chin the Conqueror, or Fire Lord Sozin?
2. ASC — Avatar Aang's era. There's no such thing as Air Nomads anymore.
3. ASC, 70 years later — Avatar Korra's era. We're on the road to Republic City!
4. ASC, After Korra's era — Welcome to the future!
▶ SCENARIO SUGGESTIONS
1. Welcome, Avatar — You are the Avatar. Enjoy learning all four kinds of bending! And, perhaps, the secret fifth one.
2. Cactus Juice — Thirsty in the Si Wong Desert, or wherever you happen to be? Not a problem, open up a cactus and enjoy the juice, or buy it from the establishment nearby. It's trippy.
3. Fight Fight Fight! — You're challenged to a duel, or an Agni Kai — save your honor! Or disrupt it, whatever sets you on fire.
4. Pro-bending — We hope you know the rules. If you're the Avatar, please stick to one element or you're disqualified. Don't you want to win?
5. Chi-blocked — Suddenly, your bending abilities were taken away! Or were you the one that blocked their skills?
6. There is no war in Ba Sing Se — Get ready to escape Lake Laogai, if you can, or are you there to save someone?
7. Underground Library — The Knowledge Spirit has allowed you to read.
8. I'm ready, Sifu — Are you a bender, a humble fighter, or a beginner? Either way, your training starts now! Impress your masters, have fun with your classmates.
9. Is that a Polar bear-dog? — One animal plus one animal makes a crazy combination! Ready to ride a sky bison, or are you ready to run from a pack of armadillo lions?
10. The Cave of Two Lovers — Were you bothered by a band of hippies, and ended up here? Good luck finding your way out. Maybe the riddle they told you would be useful right now. ("Love is brightest in the dark.")
11. Cart riding in Omashu — Using the delivery system as your personal slide. Don't crash into too many houses, now.
12. Kyoshi Island — Want to ride the large Elephant Koi, or the Unagi? Or are you exploring, or a protector of the Island?
13. Wildcard — Lost in a swamp, losing yourself in the Avatar state, or did you drink the wrong tea? The choice is yours!

Cecil Harvey | Final Fantasy IV
the prompts reminded me that BRAINWASHED KAIN!? can be a thing. this one is a firebender
[The phrase screams through Kain's head, the result of the Earth Kingdom's brainwashing. This entire trip here had been troublesome from the beginning, and it had only gotten worse when everyone ended up separated. No one had known where Kain had ended up... and now here he is, finally facing his friend yet again... except this time, as an enemy.]
[An eerie look overcomes Kain's eyes as he readies his flames.]
I'm honored to accept his invitation...
[He doesn't hesitate as he blasts fire at Cecil.]

Kain--?! What are you doing?
[He waterbends the precious amount of water that he carries at his hip into ice shards, which he fires at Kain's limbs and torso; not to injure, but to try and pin him to a nearby wall. Hurting Kain is the last thing he wants to do, even if he doesn't understand why the firebender has suddenly turned against him. True, Cecil might have been Prince of the Northern Water Tribe, and Kain was Fire Nation, but that had never come between their friendship before, and he couldn't understand what have turned his best friend against him now.]
no subject
...this is how it's meant to be, Cecil.
[He shoots forth a stream of fire at him next, the long continuous blast aimed directly at him. The brainwashing had not only made him attack, it had hit on a deep jealousy he'd always held inside him, a dark part of him that he'd long kept hidden. He felt right somehow for the first time in ages.]
