Character Creation Part 1:
Stories of the past were the only good thing that made you feel like the world made sense. Ever since Avatar Kyoshi died, the four nations, have been long divided.
The Air Nomads, long known for their great stability, and peaceful existence, has seen a great division and loss of hope in the century since Roku died, and the Avatar disappeared. The Spiritualists cling to the old ways of pacifism, of peace, of spirituality. They still cling to hope that the Avatar would return and restore balance to the world like he always had.
They try to help whenever possible, to ease their conflicted consciousness… but it is never enough.
Then there the Nihlisits, who follow the Teachings of Guru Laghima. To separate themselves from the world entirely, or in the case of the corrupted, modern teachings… to see only to one's self, and no one else. They say that nothing in the world matters, and that they should only care to the here, and now, and their own earthly pleasures.
They have left the Temples, forming their own communities… many as bandits, warlords, or mercenaries. They care not for the suffering of the world, and how to stop it. They care only for their own power… their own philosophies and ideologies, or personal ambitions. Nothing matters or lasts forever, so why should they care about others.
So let the sheep cower in fear of the Wolves.

The empire, long divided, must unite; long united must divide
In the Earth Kingdom, The Great Earth King of Ba Sing Se… has lost the Protection of the Spirits. Through weak, and indecisive rulers, they have lost the faith of the many Kingdoms below them, that paid homage to them… they finally broke away, seeing that the rulers have become weak, inefficient, indecisive on the many crises that plague the great nation.
In Ba Sing Se, there is a war, an invisible one, fought between courtier and courtier of the great kingdom. There exists no authority outside of Ba Sing Se… but one can still vye for the crown. District battle district, gangs battle gangs… Philosophy battles philosophy... all while the Dai Li, The Earth King, and any man smart enough to play the game try for the crown.
Because he who controls the Earth King… The Throne… may have the power to unify the world.
King Kuei rules a broken kingdom, ignorant to the total chaos and man, less a ruler, more a puppet.
Long Fang, the head of the Dai Li, is considered the most powerful man in the city, but even his grand power, and knowledge is limited by the ambition of better men.
And General How, the Last Great General of the Earth Kingdom, commands the greatest defenses in the whole entire world, planning and recruiting for a grand offensive, to finally bring order to the chaos that reigns in the world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Would Rather Betray the World than the men I lead.
To the Northern Kingdom, the many armies and garrisons of the former Earth kingdom find themselves without a kingdom to serve, the collapse of the Earth Kingdoms stability when Roku died made sure of that. Without a way to pay their forces, without supplies, the armies and garrisons had to sell their services to survive.
Client king's now free to rule themselves, use their services, the new mercenaries that were freed from bondage… as a way to battle and unify the east. Chin the Conqueror had proven, that only an Avatar could truly stop them, from destroying an ambitious warlord.
But the Avatar was not among them, there hasn't been one in a hundred years. There was no one, to stop them.
General Saiyuk was the protegee of General Lee Go, before he was killed in the Great Raid of The Cranefish Republic. He leads the larges force on this side of the Earth Kingdom, nearly 70,000 strong, but he lacks a true base from which to command… and coin to pay such a mighty army.
Govoner Teng Lei, of the Providence of Han Tui, now informally the highest-ranking officer in the providence seeks to unify the providence, and declare himself the one king of the land.
And dozens of other warlords dot the lands, striking at the weak and innocent.
It is a battlefield, a killing field… a land of rice, and death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Spirits Guide Me, For My Cause Is Just!
To the Eastern Earth Kingdom, there is a line… Between those who rule the sea, and those who control the land.
Pirates reign free, the Earth Kingdom navy, in ports, with no one to man the ships, no one to fight them. No one was there to maintain the ships, to sail them, to protect the shipping that made them rich.
Lin Chen, governor of the province, vows to fight the great pirates of the peninsulas and islands but is lacking everything that could remove them, except for charisma that few had, and maybe more luck than sense, and spirits guiding her to victory.
The Pirate Lord Tao Wu, however, has forsaken the spirits for profit. And has everything he needs to call himself king of the waves. From his safe harbor in the city of Mori, he reaves the seas from any ship, to sell its cargo, and make himself rich.
It is a battle of faith, and will, where only one can win.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will Be Free, or Die Trying.
In the West, there is talk of Revolution.
A young man whose family was killed by marauding earth kingdom soldiers, promises those who follow his banner will see justice and peace in their valley and beyond. This man has a dream, a dream of peace… and a dream of revenge.
That man's name is Jet, and those who follow him, are his Freedom fighters. Fighting to end Serfdom in his valley and beyond.
Facing this young man, is a mercenary commander from the Fire Nation, hired by the governor Lei Guang, with a ship of iron, and an entire regiment of Fire nation veterans of Fire Lord Iroh's Wars of Unification.
A deserter named Zhao.
Farther south, the Kingdom of Omashu stands on a delicate tightrope. King Bumi the Genius, has been able to prevent war between his neighbors for decades with his diplomatic prowess. But he is old, and dying, his strength weakens, and his subjects fear that his mind is failing him. But they have faith that he can lead the, for one last year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are mysteries in this Desert, that should remain buried.
In the Desert, there is but one whisper.
The Library of Wan Shi Tong has returned to the Physical World…
And there are men willing to do anything to find that library.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other men are the carving knife and the serving dish; we are the fish and the meat.
In the southern Earth Kingdom, The Followers of Chin, have risen again, under their great leader: Lu Bu, the Reincarnation of Chin the Great! Or so he claims.
His mission is to take over the earth kingdom… by any means necessary.
Standing against them, is a Hodge pod alliance of Merchants, Mercenaries, Entertainers, WAter Benderds from the Foggy Swamp Tribe and Kyoshi Warriors, under the nominal leadership of Lao Beifong of Gaoling, who is funding such a great force, but more under the command of the young, untested, but skilled Kyoshi Warrior, Suki.
But within this desperate alliance, there is hope, for there whispers of a person called the Blind Bandit… some call this… person a myth… other, more optimistic people… call that person the greatest Earthbender to ever live.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will unite the Fire Nation, with Blood and Iron, or Pen and Ink. Anything to Stop this Madness.
In the Fire Nation… There Exist Three Warring Families each powerful, wielding great power… iron and steam, with great factories and technology.
In another world perhaps, they could have conquered the world. But here, and now, they are divided.
Fire Lord Iroh, the most powerful man in his nation, stands at a crossroads in the destiny of his battered, and destroyed nation. For decades he was waging war to unify the Fire Nation. Now he has a chance to unify it through diplomacy.
He is tired… but he is afraid that such tactics will make him weak… and give rise to other, less… diplomatically minded successors.
Fearing for his son and favored nephews' lives, he sent them on a mission that may save their nation from another costly war.
To Find The Avatar.
But at home, not all is well. The Taki are mobilizing their forces for when the conference inevitably ends… and to strike while the iron is hot. While the Peng wait for an opportunity to kill both.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yin and Yang… that is the Water Tribe's way.
The Northern Water Tribe is united, but isolated from the world's affairs, content, to do nothing.
But the Southern Water Tribe… that is where the action is.
Chief Hakoda has called a great council of the tribes, to settle disputes between them, and to finally make peace.
But blood has already been spilled in the snow, and there are some that see the weakness in the Earth Kingdom, as an opportunity to raid for wealth, food… and a chance to prove they are not the weak backwater of the world.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
