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!

It would be an honor, although I'm not certain I'd be worthy of it... I still don't feel like a true airbender,
[He'd been raised in such a traditional Fire Nation family.]
no subject
I don't suppose any of us do, except Tenzin and his family. They've spent their lives under such traditions, not us. I was born and raised in the Earth Kingdom, and unlike my sisters, I never displayed any bending talent. I never thought I would, until...well, you know.
no subject
[And what he'd rather not discuss is that he grew up with a lot of issues because of that. He always felt so inferior, such a need to prove himself. Sigh. Now, here he is amid a culture he doesn't understand using an element which... feels more like him in a way, and yet its people really aren't like him.]
I don't know about you... but I've always planned to return to my home once I've gained better mastery of this bending.
no subject
I don't know. It was very difficult to leave the Earth Kingdom and my family behind. I long for our forest village. And yet, instead of following the path of my sisters, I have the chance to do something unique and important.
[She tilts her head, glancing up to him.]
It is nice to be among people who understand that, isn't it?
no subject
[Well, that was what it was like for him, anyway, as he was the family disgrace with no bending for all that time. He continues to pet the bison near him.]
no subject
I was overshadowed, though I don't believe they meant to ignore me. But it's still the same in the end, I suppose.
...I wonder, what would our lives have been like, if the portals had been open all this time. We would have been airbenders all our lives, wouldn't we?
no subject
We surely would have. Perhaps our lives would then have been different.
[He knows he would have been more respected. Probably not quite as much as the firebender his father truly wanted him to be, but still... some bending is better than none.]
