So if you're here you probably know all about the world of Avatar but just in case here's the rundown:
Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a fantasy world, home to humans, fantastic animals, and supernatural spirits. Human civilization is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. Each nation has its own natural element, on which it bases its society. Within each nation exists an order called "Benders", who have the ability to manipulate the element of their nation. The show's creators assigned each Bending art its own style of martial arts; each Bending art inherited the advantages and weaknesses of the martial arts it was assigned. The Bending types are Waterbending, Earthbending, Firebending, and Airbending.
Each generation yields one person who is capable of Bending all four elements. This being is referred to as the Avatar, the spirit of the planet manifested in human form. When an Avatar dies, they are reincarnated into the next nation in the Avatar Cycle. The Avatar Cycle parallels the seasons: winter for The Water Tribes, spring for the Earth Kingdom, summer for the Fire Nation, and autumn for the Air Nomads.
The show takes place during a time when three nations, Air, Water and Earth, are at war with the Fire Nation. In that time most of the world's airbenders have been wiped out as the title of the show suggests.
This RP takes place before the time of the war (appx 200 years in Avatar past) during the time of Avatar Kyoshi.
Kyoshi has mostly kept the peace in the world up until now but a small army has formed under a charismatic leader and powerful earth bender that has named himself Chin the Great. The army has begun to conquer the Earth Kingdom and, as a consequence has grown. This army is constantly calling for new recruits but so is the Earth King, hoping to fight off this scourge.
The Earth King as sent out diplomats to the other nations of the world. He has not asked for their help, since this would be a sign of weakness, instead he has tried to explain how this upstart Chin could come after their nations next. He is hoping that the other nations will see the danger and send him benders to help him quell this uprising.
