Avatar: A New Age
PostPosted: Sun Jun 17, 2007 2:28 pm
The previous Avatar: Legends had pretty much died, so we're doing a new one. One that takes place 5 years after the Fire Nation War.
GM: For_Him
Co GM: Raven
Rules
1. No god-modding
2. If the character(s) you played as where in the first Avatar: Legends, add 5 years to that character. Otherwise, new characters are welcome
3. There will be a new way of playing that we call PMRP (Private Message Role Playing).
Example: Two players are plotting against the other players. The two players, while in character can PM each other, but they must also PM the GMs with the same message. This gives the game an element that the other players cannot be trusted. The role-playing will still take place in the game thread.
4. No playing as the main characters from Avatar: TLA. Original only.
5. Game pauses on Sundays and holidays.
6. Up to 4 posts a day per player. We can't have people going "post happy".
7. No cussing. Use "he/she cursed".
8. Nothing that is outright sexual, even in the PM RPing.
9.Players can have multiple characters.
10. Players who want the "Element Infant" bending ability (Fire + Water or Earth), PM For_Him.
Story:
For 100 years, the Fire Nation waged war against the the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, and the Air Nomads. In the Early years of the war, the Air Nomads where utterly destroyed. All but one. The Avatar. With his comrades, he mastered the four elements and defeated Fire Lord Ozai, bringing the war to an abrupt halt. Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation was instated as the new Fire Lord, and an uneasy peace was established between the nations.
Unknown to the rest of the world, a secret war was being waged. A powerful bender known only by Khan planned to usurp the throne of the Fire Nation, and with his personal army, take dominate control over the four nations into one empire. He believed in a legend that if all four nations where united into one empire, a new element would reveal itself. But first, he needed certain people to aid him. Twenty years before the end of the Fire Nation War, a secret project was put into action. Firebenders would temporarily leave the Fire Nation, become civilians of the Earth Kingdom, fall in love and marry an Earthbender or Waterbender, and bear a child that can bend two elements at once.
The project was a success.
I am one of those results of the project. My father was a Firebender of high standing who posed as an Earth Kingdom soldier. He married a Water Tribe woman who immegrated from the South Pole with her family. I remember a message saying that my father was killed in action. about a year after that, the villiage I grew up in was attacked by Fire Nation soldiers. Only I, and a few of my friends escaped.
When I was 19, I was the leader of a small pack of freedom fighters.
I met new friends, including a girl my age from the Fire Nation. Her name was Lilith, but I called her Lilly. She was friend of the Royal Family and was exiled for a crime against her nation, and wanted to join up with me. We got to know eachother as friends, then things took a turn for the worse.
On our way to the capital city of Ba Sing Se, I was captured by an old friend of mine and traded to Khan. I told my friend to make sure my fighters make it to Ba Sing Se.
For almost a year I was in the Fire Nation. I met my father there. Still alive. He taught me to Firebend and explained everything to me, revealing Khan to be my half-brother. Khan was of a failed project to have soldiers bend different elements. Those who where involved in the project where either killed or where sent to mental institutions. Only Khan survived.
In the final battle against the Fire Nation, during a solar eclipse, the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes launched a massive invasion on the Fire Nation. The freedom fighters, being led by Lilith, even joined the assault. Lives where lost in the massive battle, including the lives of many friends.
In the midst of battle, I and Lilith fought my brother. In the ensuing battle against him, he struck down Lilith. Something snapped inside me, and I unleashed a terrible display of my power. A combination of fire and water that Lilith displayed when people that she loved was put in danger. Inside I must have loved her if my power was unleashed like that. In the end, I defeated Khan.
As the battle raged around us, I held the limp body of Lilith. I held her tight tight and whispered in her ear, "Please, don't leave me. I need you." Then she began breathing. As she opened her eyes and looked at me, tears flooded my eyes, and as I embraced her, she whispered in my ear, "I'll never leave you." It was in the middle of that battlefield that we shared our very first kiss, and when we heard about the fall of Fire Lord Ozai.
It is now five years after the war. I lost touch with the other freedom fighters, Lilith and I married, and we opened a bending school where she teaches Waterbending and training healers, and I teach Firebending.
One day, I recieved a message that the Fire Nation came under attack and fell to an unknown enemy. It was reported that they used strange weapons, wore a strange garb, rode a strange type of an animal, and spoke in a completly different language. These invaders came from the far west.
Fire Lord Zuko and his entourage had escaped to the Fire Nation Embassy in Ba Sing Se, bringing the report about this new enemy. It's only a matter of time before this enemy set their sights on the other nations, and I find myself thinking as I sit here, writing as my wife sleeps, if even the Avatar himself can drive back these invaders.
