Pre-Avatar (The Last Airbender): Original RP

Purpose: I wanted to create a roleplay in the Avatar:The Last Airbender world that would give players the freedom to explore different themes and styles of bending. The roleplay should let players participate with a character that can bend any/all elements to varying degrees of power without godmodding. There will be an overall plot about interaction with the spirits and the world that hasn't yet been developed. Ultimately, though, the roleplay will end with the creation of the Avatar Spirit and people only being able to bend one (if any) elements.

Roleplayers should be able to handle a quick-paced plot, post more than once per week, and maintain a high level of roleplaying.

About Me: I'm an Avatar fangirl - been with the series since its premiere (good memories watching the first episode with my brother as it came on air for the first time!) and I help to mod an Avatar fansite. I have about 7 years roleplaying and intermediate experience in GMing and DMing (for DnD). I'm happy to work on characters or plots with anyone!

About The Roleplay:

The Plot:
The year is 10,000 BSC (Before Sozin's Comet). The Great Lion Turtles have left the people of the land; and society is in the midst of the advent of bending. The nations have not yet formed, and the subsects of the elements have not yet split. There is no legend of the avatar yet; although there are whispers of a man who can bend with great skill more than one element.
The world is being ravaged by rogue spirits. The great guardians ? the Lion Turtles ? have left, and in their wake, a flood of malevolent spirits has entered in the space where they once reigned.

The Society:
Technology exists, but sparely. The world is not beautiful; while some may specialize in the creation of new technologies or art forms, the majority of humanity is attempting to survive and to, perhaps, conquer their rough world.
Naturally, the cultures of each respective area are just forming.
The Future Water Tribes are equal in prosperity; the brave settlers who have attempted to tame the landscape have erected huts and are figuring out short-distance travel over sea and snow.
The Future Earth Kingdom is the most diverse in culture. Their huts are made out of earth and wood. Some areas are inhabited by nomadic wanderers. Some areas have developed agriculture; and with that development, a social system is starting to blossom.
The Future Fire Nation is the newest colony. The settlers there are quick and intelligent, and have started to tame the shores of the volcanic islands. They are plagued by volcano spirits, by natural disasters, by their own failures.
The Future Air Nation has not even become a dream in the minds of the more spiritual people.

Even the ethnic boundaries have not yet split. Many villages are isolated by the color of their skin or shape of their eyes, but some are still a collection of settlers that still have diverse backgrounds and features.

Keep in mind; the geography that you know is not the geography of the past. The Great Divide is but a small creek. The Desert of the Earth Kingdom engulfs the majority of the Southwest continent. Kyoshi has not yet become an idea.

The Bending:
Bending is shifting. Where people were once able to control the energies of the land, they are realizing that their control is decaying.
Everyone can bend all elements, but most have a talent or preference for one instead of the other three. Some have retained some ability to bend the energies, but most have lost their abilities, finding instead that they can manipulate the world around them. It does not take a long time for people to pick out their preference in bending ? some have even lost their ability to bend all but their ?natural? element. No one knows the cause. Is it because the Lion Turtles left? Some sort of evolution? Or is it the intervention of more malevolent spirits?

The Game:
The village that will be focused on is in the Northwest Earth Kingdom. It is a small, diverse village, and very new.

Have any questions? Feel free to post below! If you're interested, please let me know here! I'm looking for at least a few people before I'll make it into a roleplay.
