The Main Storyline


Aang takes away Ozai's bending abilities using energybending. Ozai is no longer the Fire Lord. The rightful heir to the throne, Zuko, is crowned Fire Lord, and ends all the wars. The four Nations are once again at peace.

Time passes. A year after Zuko's crowning a group of Airbenders who had hidden in a desolate part of the Earth Kingdom return to civilization. The Southern and Eastern Air Temples are once again active, and the Airbender population grows. All towns and cities expand, most noticeably the Southern Water Tribe, which becomes one big city once again, instead of many scattered villages.

But nobody can withstand time, not even the Avatar. One after another the heroes die of old age. About 80 years after Zuko's crowning Aang dies, and the new Avatar is born in one of the Water Tribes.

The story begins 20 years after this event.


UPDATE: please refer to THIS THREAD for an updated version of the story.

In light of the new plotline we are and have developed and are developing, I would like to make a post here to update people on what exactly is going on.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POST IS NOT STATIC, AND MAY/WILL BE UPDATED AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT WARNING AS THE PLOT UNFOLDS.

With that said, here's what I believe has happened so far. [roughly in order, but not necessarily] Corrections and additions can be made as necessary.

**Avatar Zulera Joanna Tallarico is born 28 years prior to current time
**Xue Xui is born 19 years before current times
**Xue Xui is believed to be the Avatar, while Zulera secretly travels the world, gathering followers and mastering the elements
**Zulera masters the elements, but keeps a low profile as she travels the world garnering support. Her charismatic speaking skills gain her many followers, but she is not revealed as the Avatar just yet. [in other words, she is more or less just going around making friends and saying "you support me and I'll support you."]
**Meili's militarization of the Dai Li and the Kyoshi Warriors begins, as she slowly starts climbing the political ladder
**Earth King Lei rises to power as the 54th Earth King
**King Lei Launches an attack on the Southern Water Tribe, killing Chieftess Kyoko in the process, as well as causing major damages
**Kanaryu rises to power as a replacement for Kyoko
**Shortly after King Lei's strike in the south, he is suddenly removed from power by the Dai Li, and is executed according to the law.
**Meili Mitali Zalika replaces King Lei as ruler of the Earth Kingdom, but circumstances as to how she became the one to rise to power remain unclear.
**Meili, aware of the things King Lei has done, begins a rapid militarization movement throughout the Earth Kingdom, garnering support from her troops and citizens, who hold loyal to their queen as Meili's forces build.
**Fire Lord Novai begins his plans to aid his allies the Water Tribes, who also intend to attack the Earth Kingdom as retribution.
**Meili, assuming that the attacks will most likely be at or around Gaoling and/or Omashu, places large amounts of troops in the area
**Fire Lord Novai's forces land at Omashu; begin their attack
**Felicia, one of the leaders of the Kyoshi Warriors, makes a bold move from Omashu to meet the Fire Nation near the coast.
**Felicia's troops initially fare well against the Fire Nation troops, until their retreat is cut off by Novai's trusted General, Hayato. From here their fate is sealed, and very few of them escape back into Omashu. However, among those that did escape, was Felicia herself.
**The fighting stops as Queen Meili and Chief Kanaryu arrive on the scene and the two of them, as well as Novai, took to Omashu and had a peace discussion.
**The war was able to end before much of it started, and the end result was that the Fire Nation received greater control over Sozin's old colonies, and the Water Tribe took jurisdiction over the mostly independent Foggy Swamp Tribe.
**Tensions after the Brief and Bloody War, as it came to be called, lingered, but not enough that any other conflicts or wars erupt from it.
**Zulera becomes known as the Avatar after the war, which she had actually been a soldier in. Shortly after this incident, there began to be uprisings of various groups of zealots throughout the world that supported the notion of a world ruled by the Avatar. Zulera gets blame for many of these actions, but they are unable to be concretely linked to her because of a lack of evidence.

...and this is where the story picks up. While there are conspiracies and uprisings of zealots and radicals throughout every nation including the Air Nomads, it is not enough to throw the world into war yet, but there are plenty of grounds for the Fire Lord, Water Chief, Air Council and Earth Queen to believe that the Avatar is behind these revolts. However, until they have proof, they cannot wage war against the Avatar.
Their goal then... is to catch her in the act, and see how she reacts. If by some chance it is not her, then perhaps there is a greater mastermind at work. If it is her, however, then clearly she is a mastermind at these operations with deeper connections to her peers than the world previously suspected... and she is much more dangerous than she appears.

Zulera's current location is unknown (open), but she does not appear to be hiding. She seems easy to contact and summon, as the chief of the Northern Water Tribe was able to speak with her quite easily, even though there was slight tension between the two individuals.

Questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, PM me, [Meili] or my other account, Zulera.
[PS--if this is the wrong place to put it, I apologize]

We should keep the failed execution ideal. I think that it would be an interesting ideal. And if Xue remains the Avatar, Zul can remain as an evil mastermind that was granted power by the spirits, or something similar to that.

An ideal just came up with me, Novai, and Norio. What if Zul was given Avatar powers by some kind of spirit.

that'll work. :B
perhaps it is "as if by some divine prank", much like Ganondorf receiving the Triforce of Power.

That, and I'm totally up for the failed execution idea.

I support the idea, that the "spirit" granted Xue the light art of bending (passive) while gave Zulera the dark art of bending (aggressive). Well now that I look at it, things would be bad ass if the avatar pair were a girl and a boy, rather than a girl and a girl (add some gender variation).

Onto the passive vs aggressive/ light vs dark, not everyone wants to have a aggressive Firebending style such as Lightning/Blue flames, some might want a passive Red/orange flamed defensive style.

I'm probably going to create a stat system for this RP, because it seems like skills are sorta...go with the flow styled. Such as my character is the FL, I could heavily abuse it, in terms of what I can and cannot do. For instance only the avatar can bend lava/magma, however I could argue that I could anyways. So thats why we need some restrictions, and the stat system would be ideal.

I certainly agree that some sort of clearer-cut stat system should be put into place, but I'm against the idea of making things *too* exclusive.
take the core bending arts themselves. there are people who know how to use them, but that doesn't mean they're any good at it [see also--Zuko at firebending].

I am curious to know what the guidelines for skill levels would be. obviously being the Earth King or the Fire Lord, or even the Avatar, doesn't make you suddenly all-powerful in your respective bending art(s). it helps, sure, but it's not poof you're the most powerful bender ever--I don't think anyways.

just something to mull over.

Both ideas are interesting. A spirit giving another person on earth "Avatar" powers, or just a split avatar spirit still.

I kind of have been struggling with the idea of an "evil" Avatar only because, as stated in canon, evil people have problem bending certain ways due to their chakras being blocked. But /shrug/ Azula was just fine, if not better, than Zuko at bending so who knows.

As for a system, I support it.

Edit:

I think people need to choose a "style". Start off with one, and if people want to learn more, they have to learn from others. /shrug/ Everyone seems to be able to blood bend these days. I think some common ground would be more acceptable. Maybe a power/style list? Make the styles in two categories - aggressive or passive? Light or dark? Of course people could change and add to the list if they desired and maybe even "signatured" it like Iroh did with the lightning-redirect skill. Of course characters could say they learned from a unnamed master or parental figure stated in their histories, but we could at least make it make sense.

Even Aang, who was good however, was rather direct and aggressive, so maybe that shouldn't be the criteria.

Sorry, I've been busy lately, but now I can give the website the attention it deserves. As far as the style of bending system goes, you can choose either an aggressive bending style or a passive one, or a hybrid of both.

I think as far as the evil or good thing goes, it's a matter of knowing who you are, that sort of thing. clearly Azula or Ozai wasn't "good" before they became masters. Zuko just sucks at firebending and doesn't know if he's good or evil, and so he couldn't decide if he wanted to fuel his fire with his anger or with his [whatever it was that fueled it afterwards]. so it went poof.

I am also a believer in the philosophy that right and wrong, and even good and evil to a similar extent, are little more than perspectives of the human mind. Really, there are no inherently "good" moves, or inherently "Evil" moves. thus, I don't think there should be a light/dark segregation.

My thoughts.

Aggressive and passive do not equate to light and dark. You can be good and still have a fierce bending style, similarly you could be bad and have a passive bending style like Jeong Jeong, he wasn't bad though.

I noticed something over the course of the past two months, activity spiked due to an increase of interest, mainly the war, I agree it was poorly waged, but I disagree that it did not increase activity. Allow me to explain my logic:

1. The War increased user activity (13 members at one time), we saw new members join us, such as Hayato, Murai, even Norio. If we want more people to RP with, we need a good storyline, but one that takes forever to implement.

2. The war had bad reasoning, but that didn't warrant it's end

3. The current plot line (Evil/Good Avatar) hasn't done anything, in fact currently we have the lowest user activity (None at one time)

4. The warp of the avatar towards a more evil persona, was a smart plot line, but ineffective in our current userbase.

Our plan for the future:

We must implement something that can take place immediately, people appeal to war and thus user activity will spike once again.

Thus we must implement a war time situation between two nations, reasoning and understanding of why the war was started comes later, first we must worry about how many people are even online. If you have 0 people online, then your plot line is either failing or is not effective (addressed to people who are proposing intricate plot lines)

I fully advocate that we move towards a storyline that can be started immediately, and involves all players in some way or another, and I believe that is a war is necessary.

objection.

the war was during the Christmas Break, and so kids were out of school and therefore with more time on their hands. activity on the internet tends to spike a little around Christmas and in the summer, and decreases when school or colleges are back in session. I think the only one we truly lost when the war ended was Gysu.

that's because we had the christmas break as time to start laying the law of the land and all that. I know me becoming Earth Queen was part of it. 'sides, even *in* the war, it was just you, me, and Hayato, of which only the latter has left.

whatever the case, just calm yo' tits about it. Rome wasn't built in a week, and a good RP [be it my plot or anyone else's plot;] is the same way.

I did manage to get the Avatar Arena up, so if it's fighting we want, it's fighting we can get.

People resume work after christmas break, even if it was just you me and Hayato. At least we were doing something rather than nothing. Hayato quit, because there was no war, so I guess thats testament to why we need one. A good RP needs a storyline, we can wait for your amazing storyline for the next month or two, but I want things started now.

We already went over why your plot line is incompatible until you have an active-large group, only something that starts now will attract a large group. In regards to the arena, no one is active enough to begin role playing successfully in it, so it is, unfortunately of no use.

Is queen meili more moral and peaceful or more like i-dont-give-a-damn-about-people-who-arent-like-me????

EDITED


nvm I read her bio.

Anyways, I think Earth Queen and the government of the Earth Kingdom should do some persecution laws against all non-earthbenders. Maybe start off by saying all non-earthbenders must pay increased taxes. And then move onto something like non-earthbenders cannot attend school and cannot leave their homes after 6pm....Eventually making concentration death camps similar to the Third Reich. This is a way to get a war started...

Of course my character would most likely be persecuted as well if she werent commander, or maybe she gets persecuted anyways???

An excuse for the Earth Kingdom to do this would be maybe saying too many Earthbenders die for commoners and stuff. And that the nonbenders are wasting space and letting the benders die for them when they do not contribute all that much unesss they are salesmen. Or maybe the Earth Queen just wants a society of pure Earthbenders???


just an idea that could get a war started

just know that the good guys don't always win. The Main Storyline Azula

if we keep that in mind, I might just be willing to comply. I adamantly refuse to become a villain if my downfall is going to happen no matter what. There's gotta be some kind of variables or conditions do decide who wins [or of course you all can let me win, but I don't think you want to lose any more than I do.]

but other than that, that could also further Zulera's agenda. She sees that the nations war against each other all the time, and so she would stir people of all nationalities to turn against their nations in support of an Avatar-based rule.

So in theory, I support the idea, however, my condition at the top of my post is absolutely necessary for me to agree to any of it.

Well whats the point of having the good guys win all the time. That's the biggest problem in many storylines, the good guys always win.

I'm not advocating that situation, in fact i'd like to steer clear of it.
