PROLOGUE.
NEAR WULONG FOREST, 100. AG
"Even with all that power... you are weak!"
Snarling, Ozai pounced.
The world slowed to a crawl as the young air nomad let the earth speak to him. Pillars of angled rock tore up from the ground, trapping the Fire Lord's flaming wrists in an instant. His knees soon followed, buckling underneath him. A searing gust of wind provided the perfect opening. Within moments, the boy's bruised, bloody hands were firmly in position. Eyes closing, the rich, rumbling words of the lion turtle rushed through his veins. There and then, in an ethereal, terrifying feat of power, the gates blew open. And out came the most powerful energy known to man: the human soul.
Raw fury gripped the tyrant as he watched the Avatar's soul pierce the heavens. When the temptation came for his soul, there would be no resistance. The earth shook and split like thunder. Deafening energies of spirits flowed and ebbed and crashed and battered against each other, fighting for dominion. On and on it went; an endless barrage, a lifetime of anger, hatred, pride and poison. The skies soon bled into rays of black, swallowing all but a flickering, ephemeral shade of blue.
Finally, the air stilled. Ozai collapsed, eyes bloodied and blackened heart beating no more. The Avatar collapsed onto his knees as well, blood dripping from his many wounds. Slowly, the glow of arrows decorating his body began to fade. Only his arrowhead remained bright. No amount of words, actions, or tears would make it falter. The body was cold as ice, a sign of separation. Flesh and spirit were no longer one.
Aang was gone.
OVERVIEW.
Hello, hello, hello! It is I, KaramelKarma back at it again under an old alt account. In time with the Netflix adaptation, I am bringing back this roleplay based on one of my most beloved childhood shows, ATLA! This time around, it will be bigger and better. Greatest of all, I have a lovely group of good friends and co-gms with me:
leviohsa
,
mi casa
and
High Moon
. It was a lot of fun pulling this all off together, thank you so much guys 
Now, if you love ATLA as much as we do, please read on, with a few key things in mind: this RP will not be first come, first serve. Though this story does have an overarching plot, we wish everyone along for the ride to not only be passive players, but also active contributors to the story, worldbuilding and roleplay itself. Though it is strongly encouraged to know the show (and comics!), it isn't a requirement necessarily to be an ATLA expert to join this roleplay, just as long as you're willing to learn all about it. The character sheet thread, lore thread and discord server will all be made available by Sunday, the 25th. Without further ado, read on, and if it tickles your pickle, come on in! Even if it doesn't, thank you so much for reading and considering this RP anyway :>
ROLES.
THE GOOD GANG.
BORN INTO A WORLD SHAPED BY THEIR PARENTS' LEGENDARY ACTIONS AND SEALED BY THE AVATAR'S ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AFTER THE HUNDRED YEAR WAR, THESE CHILDREN FIND THEMSELVES ON THE PRECIPICE OF A DESTINY BEST FIT FOR STORIES AROUND THE DINNER TABLE, FIRE NATION HISTORY TEXTBOOKS, AND EMBER ISLAND PLAYS. UNITED BY THE SPIRIT GUIDE, THEY STAND AS THE LAST HOPE TO FIND AND GUIDE THE SPIRIT OF RAAVA BACK TO THE PHYSICAL REALM BEFORE HER COUNTERPART, IMPRISONED IN THE ANCIENT TREE OF TIME, CAN ORCHESTRATE HIS ESCAPE...
the spirit guide | 1/1
Seraphine
Having spent her entire life on the outside peering in, she is the last of her kind. As one of the few untainted by the vicious misanthropy of Wan Shi Tong, she refuses to give up on the physical realm and its inhabitants, believing in humanity more than it believes in itself. The line between spirit and human blurs as she ultimately pays the price for her daydreams, stripped of her spirit form and cast into the world where she must learn three essential truths: learn what dwells in man, what is not given to man, and what men live by, before it's too late.

mi casa
The Crown Princess, Future Fire Lady of the Fire Nation. What a title, what a burden...
mi casa
A burden she must nonetheless carry, like her father before her and his father before him; a burden passed down the generations for hundreds of years. The crafting of a new Fire Nation legacy spearheaded by her father, a treasured torch she will have to carry at all costs. And that means a single gesture must command respect, a single breath of wisdom, and a drop of blood mercy. Serve the nations and thus be served; wear the crown with dignity, not disdain. Never act on want, only on need. Failure is at best, an unwelcome guest and at worst, death's messenger. The sins, plights and preservation of an entire dynasty will rest on her shoulders, demanding the commitment of all heart, body, mind, and soul.
There is but one question.
Is she ready for it?

the daughter of azula | 0/1
Baubles of solid gold were her playthings, fabrics, and jewels of the highest grade and variety were regular ornaments in her daily dress wear. One glance at the mirror and she is what every little girl dreams of.
But what the little girls don't notice, are the thousand little serpents slithering under polished marble floors. The whispers around every gilded corner. The uncertainties that taint every aspect of past, present, future and most importantly, of self. What they don't notice is that for her, inner peace is a stranger; arriving with unfamiliar intentions, bringing along with it unexpected companions: forgiveness, freedom, and hope. They stand at the doorstep waiting to be let in, eager to dispel long-buried trauma and deep-seated grudges she sometimes wishes she never harbored, all while secretly longing for the love of a mother her mind is desperate to believe it remembers.
Yet one question remains.
Will she accept them?

the son of katara & jet | 0/1
Much like his mother, proud and fiercely protective of the Southern Tribe ways of life, he may feel as if he is carrying the weight of the past and the future on his shoulders. Especially as he feels the pressure to follow in her footsteps, all to safeguard their most precious quality: independence. Despite the looming shadow of their Northern counterpart and the sea of ice between mother and father, it hasn't stopped him from attempting to fix what he can and wishing he could fix what he can't. Or much like his wayward father, he may wonder if rules were only made to be broken, if only to carve out a better path, no matter how jagged or narrow it turns out to be.AGE // 17 - 20
the son of sokka & malina | 0/1Having learnt from the best, this one knows that in a world fractured by one form of hatred or another, a little humor can go a long way. Born and raised surrounded by love, he in turn has love to spare and isn't afraid to show it. Whether its a mean spear, a boomerang or a water tendril, he always throws it all in, no matter the odds. Faced with the looming prospect of inheriting Northern Tribe royalty and its accompanying responsibilities, he may find himself actively rebelling against the notion, seeking to distance himself as a young airbender once did long ago. Spirit as open as the ports and seas his beloved Northern Tribe sails on, he is instead a true thrill-seeker with a penchant for pulling antics on his many siblings as well as other people. Because at the end of the day, heβs learned the hard way that laughter is tragedy's best medicine, even when it hurts to smile.

leviohsa
Though she will never know the touch of an element bending by her hand, the fan she wields possesses a magic of its own. Channeling rustic Kyoshi grace and the mystic art of chi-blocking, it can tame the wildest of waves to stillness, slice through the most unyielding of rock, and smother out the fiercest flames. Both a warrior in the garden and an artist on the battlefield, she bleeds an all-encompassing love, lucidity and loyalty that seem to dwell everywhere and nowhere all at once. Much like her free-spirited mother before her, she has forged bonds that, though seemingly unbreakable, may demand an eventual, perilous choice between the two she is sworn to protectβ¦

the proteges of toph | 1/3
Seraphine
They wear rebellion like perfume. Staunch and unmoving like the mountains, discipline and stubbornness courses through their veins. No bending is truer, having learnt from the best.
Yet fractures endure. Be they Earth Kingdom Native or Fire Nation Colonial, pride and prejudice linger like a plague, threatening the occasional clash between them. However, united under their mentorβs wing, they've learned that to live is to fight; to die for a purpose is a great honor and to live for it an even greater one. Bend but never break; shake foundations with boldness but never arrogance. To conquer one's fears is to face them head-on. Choose your battles carefully and be repaid in victory. To inspire is to lead by example and hope that in the eyes of Fate herself, every bender is equal.
Because in the end, all one can do is fight.
Even when they don't know what they're fighting for anymore.

THE EVIL GAANG.
GUIDED BY THE DARK HAND OF AZULA AND VAATU, THIS ELITE FORCE EMBARKS ON MISSIONS TO CAPTURE, DISTILL, AND HARNESS THE ENERGY OF DARK SPIRITS SCATTERED ACROSS THE MORTAL REALM, ESPECIALLY IN THE FORMER FIRE NATION COLONIES. WHILE SEEN AS VIGILANTE HEROISM ON THE SURFACE, THESE MISSIONS SECRETLY CULTIVATE SYMPATHY FOR AZULA, PORTRAYING HER AS A SAVIOR WILLING TO PROTECT THE NEGLECTED COLONIES, WHERE THE CURRENT FIRE LORD FALLS SHORT. THE KEMURIKAGE VIEW IT AS A STEP TOWARD VAATU'S LIBERATION, WHILE THE ASHINA CADETS SEE IT AS A PATH TO RESTORING THE OLD REGIME'S GLORY. THE TRUE HOPE, OF COURSE, IS VAATU'S AND VAATU'S ALONE...
kemurikage assassins | 0/2
Sisters bound by flame and shadow, they were adopted into the Kemurikage clan with nothing to their name. Now, they are Pyre Daughters, vying for the coveted role of Mother Flame. Competing with the Ashina Company for influence, they owe all their arcane knowledge and shadowbending mastery to their Mother Daiyu, who has instilled in them a ruthless reverence for the spirit of chaos himself. Cutting down any and all in their path, they walk step in step with the ancient Kemurikage adage: "From ashes we rise, to ashes we return."AGE // 17 - 20
ashina cadets | 0/2
Born into the remnants of the old colonial elite, these two cadets epitomize the struggle of a once-vast empire now reduced to a mere shadow of its former glory. The first cadet is the child of Ashina Zuolin himself, a figurehead of the Ashina Clan, and bears the weight of both lineage and expectation. Tasked with navigating the complexities of a rapidly changing world, this cadet faces the daunting challenge of proving themselves worthy of the prestigious Ashina name. On the other hand, the second cadet hails from humble beginnings, hearing only stories of their family's past fortunes, and witnessing the decline of said fortunes firsthand. Perhaps old enough to remember, or even to have fought alongside their father in the last stand against the traitorous General Iroh and his White Lotus forces in Ba Sing Se, this cadet carries the scars of a bygone era.
