Without the Avatar

What if Avatar Aang Never confronted the Fire lord. What if The air nomads weren't all killed? and The fire lord just took over? only the earth kingdom trying to fight. Azula now sits on the throne a century later. (More inside)

Introduction

I owe the creators of 'Avatar: The last air bender', and 'Legend of Korra' credit for my inspiration
Image


Plot
What would have Happened if Aang never fled the air nomads? If the Fire nation never invaded them, they are peaceful after all, they don't engage in war. If the fire nation took over, unopposed except for the earth kingdom? Well let's see.

Please note
-Aang never fled, therefore he never met Katara and Sokka, he married an Air Nomad girl.
-The fire nation has been in Rule for a century, Ozai has died, Azula now sits on the throne, Zuko still outcast, believed to be living somewhere in the earth kingdom with his uncle.
-The Earth Kingdom is still the earth Kingdom, But the fire nation has a very powerful influence over it.
-All bending except for fire bending is illegal, but that doesn't stop some from still practicing their bending.
-Aang is very old, since he never left, he only knows Air bending, one of the reason's he never tried to overthrow the Fire nation.
-Some want the fire nation destroyed, and the four nations back. (you.)
-All the air benders are still alive, yet many refuse to fight. only a handful wish the Fire lord to be overthrown.
-Many of the water and earth benders have created a organisation aimed on overthrowing the fire nation.
-Some of the Fire Nation citizens themselves think it has gone too far and want the fire lord overthrown.

When Tahnu talked about the group's first course of action and whether or not they would get the citizens of this city and most likely most of the rest of the world to either join them or fear them Vincent raised an eye brow. "Aren't we freeing the world from the iron fist the Fire nation is ruling with over the rest of the world?" he asked Tahnu, "Thus what good would it be for the people to fear us as then apart from being no better than the fire nation a new group will arise simply to try and destory us. No, if we're gonna take down the fire nation we're gonna need as many supporters as we can get and that also means finding a stable source of supplies for if and most likely when this thing gets larger," Vincent didn't wanna take charge of the group but this seemed like basic thinking to him, though maybe it was only because of the merchant side of him. "Does the group at least have a name?" Vincent asked wondering how long this group had been around for and just what they had been planning on doing. Maybe they'd thought of painting rude words all over the Fire Nation's capital or something childish and completly worthless like that.

Tahnu looked at Vince. "The people will give us a name." He told him. "Those who will fear us will be the supporters of the fire nation." he added. "Now we will go make ourselves known. We choose though. I suggest going to a Fire Nation outpost and disabling it, possibly even take it over, we will find weapons we need to make our group larger there, which brings me to my next point. We will need to recruit citizens, and other people in opposition of the Fire Lady." Tahnu said making his intentions known

He was silent for the most part and couldn't help but agree with Vincent. He seemed very intelligent to Alexi. A question about what their name should be sparked no interest in him, but the answer was soon left up to the townsfolk which was fine with Alexi as well. He turned and tried to pay attention to everybody in the room and give them all respect equally. He even winked at Sonya playfully.

Alas, Alexi sighed and shrugged in the same motion over first moves. "Honestly, taking over a fire nation post wouldn't do us any good either as they would just send more troops until they got it back. You have to think. We are up against an army here with what..." he quickly counted the people in the room to emphasize the point "...Four people. My math isn't great but wouldn't that work out to be thousands to one? I'm not ok with that. What I was intending on doing is disrupting some patrols around the city to make it a point that we are everywhere. Attacking all over the city also allows us to make a posting here and it would take them longer to find it." Again he shrugged again "Just my opinion."

The group agreed to leave it up to the town. Tahnu wanted to take over a tower which didn't seem bad, but as Alexi pointed it out the odds are against them. He also winked at her which she ignored. She thought about what needed to be done.

"We all know how the Di Li works for the Fire Nation and collect the taxes. We should attack to show we aren't messing around. Every one is scared of them so standing up to them will make a statement."

She looked upon the faces of the others. "I know it's small, but we can't attack the Fire Nation directly yet." She thought it was a pretty good idea.

Vincent was deep in thought as each person put forth what they could do exactly to try and somehow defeat the fire nation and all of these ideas had their good points but also their bad points as well. "Well we 'could' attack the Dai Li but but that will attract the attention of the fire nation and any guards thus sending out patrols and I doubt that they care if a few civilians die that in turn also means that should we have a base of operations in a city it is very likely to get found at some point and thus the whole city will be attack because of us," Vincent spoke seriously to the group. "If we try to 'liberate' a town it will be crushed and every death will be on our hands because we took matters into our own hands. Attacking a fire nation post, as Alexi said, wouldn't really help us. I can only really think of getting some large force together like either a spirit, the avatar or at least an army capable enough for fighting an entire nation. If we choose to get an army we'll need to decide where to base it and how we go about actually collecting the recruits not to mention how many years it might take for everything to work out 'just right' for our victory and who knows what other atrocities the fire nation will do in the mean time. While if we rely on the Avatar there is no proper chance that they will help us as it appears that they haven't done anything to stop the fire nation so far so that is cancelled out and as for finding a Spirit to help us, I don't even know where to begin on that subject... All I'm saying though it remember the consequences that will come about from our actions and those who will be affected from the cross-fire," Vincent stood facing them all with quite the serious expression before it changed into a nice friendly smile and he spoke in a much friendlier voice, "But then again that's just my opinion and the leader shall be the one to choose what we do,"

"I believe I need to talk to my father." Tahnu Said. he gulped, His father Aang, was the avatar, but he was too old, and didn't know all the bending techniques. That would mean his father would need to pass. So the world could have a new hope. tahnu sighed again. It may be required.

He didn't dispose of the Idea but he put it on a back burner. "Why don't we go to the home of people that have been "effected" by the Fire nation, and let them know of us, ask them to join up, or at least support us." tahnu said.

Alexi's attention was struck by the mention of talking with Tahnu's father "What, you need his permission of something?" he shrugged to himself "I think we should be going together, whether it is to see your father or if it is to go to this new city." Clearly Alexi was unaware that Tahnu's father was the avatar. "Personally, I am tired of waiting for an opportunity to strike. We need to make an opportunity with a distraction or something."

Re: Without the Avatar

hey flames. I am sorry, but I am not making another earth bender, we do however need some sort of opposition, and buy that i mean someone working for the Fire Nation. You could be a Di-Lee (earth benders that serve the crown)?

Re: Without the Avatar

Thanks for answering quickly. I could slowly work on a techniques list but I think it would be best if everyone collaborated for it to get a good variety of techniques.

How long does a reservation last? I can write up all the details and such on my phone but I don't know when I'll have the time to transfer it over to my computer.

Re: Without the Avatar

I know someone already asked to be the last earth bender on the slots but can you make another one please? If not i'll be a water bender.

Re: Without the Avatar

May i reserve a Rebel Earth Bender?

Re: Without the Avatar

Well magic, 2. is a very good question.

1. yes. But your character should have just learnt it as to be fair to other people.
2. unless you are already a master bender, no, That's just unfair to trhe people who made their characters inexperienced benders.
3. that's a good idea, though i don't know how i could do it. I am very bussy with school, and my football. It would be nice if I had someones help with it.

Re: Without the Avatar

I would like to reserve the other earth bender. EARTH RULES! I do have some questions/suggestions though.

1. Can I have the power to metal bend?
2. Why do you not think that it's possible to take down 10 people by yourself? An earth bender could collapse a bridge, a water bender could make a huge wave, so on and so forth.
3. It might be helpful to have a list of bending techniques for each element to help people and to prevent people from doing something over powered. It could also help with character progress, they unlock more techniques the stronger they get or something.

Re: Without the Avatar

if you want i will edit my post. I would also like to apologize.

Re: Without the Avatar

Shadow. Thank you very much, you have been very helpful. It was... chalenging for me to express what you have said, though I share the same oppinion and points. let's hope we get this resolved. Pyro, i just ask that you please accept that you made a mistake and we carry on.

Re: Without the Avatar

Getting a quick definition of Nomad gave me this. "A member of a people who have no permanent abode and travel from place to place to find fresh pasture for their livestock."
But really its just the no-settling down thing, thus technically making Vincent a nomad... not an Air Nomad (Which doesn't make too much sense as every air bender I've seen so far has settled down, Aang took his time but still settled down) but a nomad none the less. Still, since we're getting into specifics of posts, first thing that Pyro did 'wrong' is that he refered to the gourd Vincent holds his sake in as a 'liquid sack' as that sounds much more like a water/wine skin rather than a 'bottle' because that is basically what a gourd is. The reason I bring this up is because then he goes on to say that he has his own gourd.

Anyway, a mistake that Pyro did make was trying to somehow slip in, 'Not unnoticed, but not obvious as well.' as clearly with only three people in a fishery standing near the door (Which probably creaks abit and stuff when opened and closed) means that you will always be highly noticed trying to enter or leave the place.

Continuing on Tahnu 'was reaching for his staff and that was peculiar to him, meant that he was being identified as threat.' with Alexi being identified as the thread. Now since a staff is not only a weapon but also something people can use to help them walk and the fact that Tahnu's head was already covered by a hood, Alexi would not properly be able to tell whether the guy needed support or not because of a bad leg. This can just be left all down to being slightly paranoid though.

As for how an Air bender noticed how a Water bender pulled a 'paper-thin' layer over water over his hand, is quite simple as water reflects light and unless we're all in the dark here the water would reflect certain amounts of light, that and the movement, maybe if the water bender had his hand behind his back but there was no indication of that. Though from what I read Alexi is indeed talking to Tahnu, (Not exactly clear about that but anyway) while he simply nods towards Vincent as simply a sign of showing that someone else was bending as well.

Still there is no way that Alexi would know that Tahnu was a nomad as Tahnu was already wearing a hood and thus you can not see the only thing that marked him as an air bender which was his tattoos.

I write all this as being a third person with can sit off to the side and try and see the whole picture, I'm not trying to take sides I just want this sorted out so that we can continue to RP.

Re: Without the Avatar

Pyro what you say makes this even more confusing, please then re writew your post, be more descriptive, and specific. So that I don't make a mistake, i will also re write my post after that. sorry for the misunderstanding.

Re: Without the Avatar

He does not address vincent he nods towards him while talking to tahnu and as to my character using the word nomad doesn't mean that alexi has identified you as an air nomad. I thought it was pretty clear and i do not see the confusion. what is confusing is when your character knows things that are not within dialogue quotes. for example my character pulled the water onto his hand before moving into the room so how your character would notice would be hard unless he was looking for it which was not mentioned so it breaks that continuum.

I will ignore all this just pay more attention in the future please. I would also like to get another person's input on this.

Re: Without the Avatar

I would like to reserve a water bender please?

Re: Without the Avatar

shadow all of your points are valid yet you see Avatar Aang is exactly that, the Avatar. the avatar,s are know to live to 150. Avatar Kyoshi lived to be 230, and still as healthy as if she were 23 (she used a natural magic on kyoshi island to keep her from aging as rapidly). Therefore we can assume that in a fan fiction this may happen. which I'm assuming all of you would have assumed. And you must remember this is The bending world, there are magical things, and think of it. if you are the lord of pretty much all the world. you will be using that magic, especially if you are about 100 years old. using it to make you healthier, and look younger so we can assume it is more like Azula is 70-80 years old, rather than around 120.

and in the picture Tahnu has a beard, but he really doesn't. sorry didn't put it in my sheet.

Re: Without the Avatar

Checking the Avatar wiki it says that Kyoshi was 230 at her death but it is highly possible that she had stored her actual body away somewhere and thus was using her spirit to travel around thus her body aged at a lesser rate... or it might simply be something Earth benders have since King Boomi was over 100 years old yet was still alot more muscular than alot of the people half his age.

Re: Without the Avatar

This is the Avatar world. It is possible for Aang's son to be 16 years old as if you recall, Sozin had Azulon very late in life. He was in his eighties when he had Azulon so it's possible for Tahnu to be sixteen years old. BUT, you are correct in saying that Aang should be dead, however; Avatar Kyoshi lived for about three hundred years before she died...loop holes...gotta love them.

Re: Without the Avatar

But logic and sense were established even in a cartoon such as Avatar. If the logic and sense they create is thrown out the window there really will be space and time benders or spirit benders or something like that. Also since Aang should be dead a new avatar would be around (And it would be a water bender)

Re: Without the Avatar

Well....this wouldn't be one hundred years later...if Azula is onthe thro--oh, wait...yeah, I see it too....huh, good question. Who cares, it's a role play!

Re: Without the Avatar

I just realised a major hole in your story. If Aang never ran and thus never got frozen (Which I think lasted for at least a hundred years or so) then doesn't that mean Tahnu couldn't be the son of Aang since Tahnu is only 16. So unless Aang had a child when he was an extremely old man (Unless he was a freak like Boomi who shouldn't be that muscular at his age, being that he is over 100 years old but Boomi was an Earth Bender anyway). So that means that Aang should have probably been long dead since Azula is on the throne.

You see unless we have a reality bender in the world somewhere that can create such a rip in time and space to allow for such a thing everything about Tahnu makes almost no sense. That and the beard he has makes him look older than 16.

Re: Without the Avatar

What...your sheet was easier to use :]

Plus it gave us something to use that would provide an example of what he was really looking for...if I worded that correctly XD

Sorry, I too am at work but I won't be able to work on my character until I get home around 11 Central time :[

Anyways, it'll be done by the end of the night or tomorrow morning/evening :D

Re: Without the Avatar

Lol, I love how everyone is using my character sheet XD Okay! Even though I'm at work, I'm gonna crack down and get Diaren finished! ^_^
