Interest Check: an Avatar RPG

Haha I'd play but there's no way I'd consider adminning.

Maybe by the time that rolls around i can be persuaded to watch it.

This is SUCH a good idea--I remember when we were all discussing the show in chat that one day, and I can definitely see us playing in that setting and really enjoying it. Avatar is awesome. I'd def be down to play if we could find enough admins for the game, and as long as it can be managed with law school/SA's and what not.

Alright the fact that there's an airbending villain this season and Zuko is back has me sold.

It's 3 episodes in already, Aerie.

1. The villains this season already might be my favorite in the series. They actually kinda remind me of the Grey Ghost and his gang that Sam and I made over at Bloodfeud.

2. I don't know how Zuko got a dragon, but I love it. Also, his "I hired a man with a similar ability to kill the avatar once...it didn't work." line was awesome.

Spoilers as well but I can't do the tag on my phone.


Why will you be pissed if Bolin can metalbend? They've already thrown caution and that whole limit to who can do specialty bending with an entire city and police force of metal benders. And just about anyone these days can lightning bend.

I agree with you Aranya on most accounts, but to out it simply what should be the totem of higher bending has changed. Lightning isn't the peak of the earth bending skill such in the same way that metal bending is being outclassed by lava bending. I did see a wonderful picture that explained all of the new types of bending plus some for air but not entirely sure if it was canon or just fan made. I will try and search for it in a bit. And I do agree that the sudden airbending for Kora was retarded, and the metal bending was unnecessary.

But if you recall Iroh didn't learn the technique of lightning from observing the water benders (otherwise how would Ozia and Azura learn it cause I doubt Iroh would have taught them. I may be wrong in that regard though) what he learned from the water benders was the act of manipulating and redirecting lightning, much in the same way that water is redirected and manipulated and not made.

Also I'm not sure if it was addressed in the comics that span before kora and after Aang but zuko first tried to learn lightning during a stressful time when his inner emotions were very conflicted. He might have learned the technique after the war and his emotions were in peace.

also all I have to say is that Tenzin is a badass

I think that they need to explain how it works before I pass judgement on whether or not it should be done, they have done it for everything else that seemed odd so am just going to wait for it to be explained. Same with combustion bending, that also makes little sense and has yet to be explained I think.

Well combustion uses chi to work, with the whole hitting combustion man in the eye and it blocking his chi and causing a backfire. You also don't see normal fire benders using firebending to cause explosions, I would just like some sort of explanation on the explosion aspect of it.

I guess so, still a canon explanation couldn't hurt.

I'm sure he was still a fighter, he was able to do that air bending routine pretty effortlessly without utilizing any airbending that should claim some proficiency in fighting, counting how fast he took to airbending. And isn't it mentioned he was the tactician/leader behind the whole thing other then Unalog?
