The title really says it all, and I'm tremendously bad at doing this; but if that opener hopefully piques your interest, the synopsis will seal the deal. This is really our first rp back to Roleplaygateway. Any questions please PM me.
Synopsis: The year is 249 AG, twenty years since Avatar Korra passed away. The world has changed significantly since the collapse of the Earth Empire.
The Earth Kingdom has split and become a loosely unified nation consisting of many self-governed states. Though each of these nations has an open border, many of them are unwelcoming to outsiders. Though many are grateful for the changes brought about by the dismantling of the monarchy, there are a number of groups pushing for reunification. A group descended from the Dai Li of old now openly commit terror attacks against the many Earth Nations.
Technology has advanced to the precipice of the digital age. Advanced automobiles, computers, and portable devices are in full use across the world. A global information network has become widely available, and only the most desolate of towns remain unconnected.
Bending is now considered obsolete and a waste of time. Technology has closed the gap between the benders and the non-benders: the former almost entirely abandoning the practice and replacing it with the more convenient practices of the modern day. Trained benders are now rare across the world; the pursuit of the art now considered mostly recreational. Outside of the Pro-Bending circle, the White Lotus, or the Air Corps; The training of the bending arts is now done, almost exclusively, within small dojos around the world. Some in the professional world may even consider bending childish, and beneath themselves or their family.
Since the death of Avatar Korra, the White Lotus has been searching for any signs of the next Avatar; With little to no results to show for it.
The Red Lotus has gained considerable political power across the Earth Nations. Their goals remain the same, however, and they too search for the Avatar, though with the intent to destroy them. The White and Red Lotus have been doing everything they can to impede each other's’ search, delaying both considerably.Now that the Avatar is likely in their adult years, the search has intensified… With governments now getting involved; Each seeking to control the Avatar for their own ends. Should the wrong party find them, who knows what could happen? Would they be destroyed? Would they become a great and terrible weapon in wars to come? Or would they become what they were meant to be?
The race is on, and the ill-fated Avatar’s life is on the line. Who will be the first to find them?
Go Team!
