Airbending - Blog Posts

I'm very proud of her! She came out real nice. Her outfit was inspired by Kai's airbenders clothes in Korra.

And I also might have some Lore for this AU:

So Alya is a thief, in Ba Sing Se.

She wears a fox mask to hide her identity, adopting the persona of Rena Rouge when she does so. There are not many other airbenders in the city so she has to be careful not to bend much (or downplay her skill) in her civilian life.

In her civilian life Alya works in censorship for the Ba Sing Se newspapers. She does not like this job, and has gotten into trouble with The Dai Li because of her pushing for more truth to be seen by the public. She is one of the few people who actually know what is happening in Ba Sing Se.

Rena also allows her, and her band of thieves (we'll get to that later), to spread some of the information she has access to.

My favorite Kataang moments is the Avatar North and South comic. Aang and Katara with Hakoda is beautiful because it’s shows a real fathers love for his daughter and the real supportive love of Her and Aang. Hakoda still being kind to Aang and showing unconditional love is what real families do for each other.    

Aang casually created tornados (AND KICK IT) just because and its the coolest thing ever

Also yet another subtle nod at his complete and utter mastery of airbending

There is a process video here!

Lesson 1:  What is Bending

Which kind of bender are you?

Another magic circle for Avatar the Last Airbender.   I’m a huge fan of both Avatar: the last Airbender and Cardcaptors.   I’ve always really like Li’s compass for finding the Clow Cards, so I redesigned it to find the next avatar.

This is my most current elemental chart for Avatar the last Airbender.  It’s gone through many different versions but I’m really happy with how this one turned out.  

I’ve included my old versions for reference.  

Central area:  The four classic with Energy bending in the center.  

Inner Circle:  Basic sub-skills most benders can use.  

Outer Circle:  Advanced sub-skills that are difficult to learn.  

Outer Edge:  True power of the Element.  Only achieved when you master the spiritual side of that Element.  

AIR

AGILITY:  Heightened sensitivity, speed, and reaction.  

LEVITATION:  Able to float in the air.  

VORTEX:  Able to send air compression blasts at your opponent, similar to a vortex cannon.   

CLOUD:  Able to create a cloud to ride on as seen in LOK and “Journey to the West”.

WATER

ICE:  Able to bend Ice and turn water into Ice.  

HEALING:  Able to energize water for healing purposes.  

PLANT:  Able to bend plants by bending the water in them.  

BLOOD:   Able to bend animals by bending the water in them.

EARTH

SAND:  Able to control earth as sand, dirt, or a granulated state.  

METAL:  Able to bend metal.  

MINERAL:  Able to bend large Crystals.  

LAVA:  Able to bend Lava or earth in a molten state.  

FIRE

FLAME:  Able to alter your flame in fire bending.  Make it hotter = blue fire.  Also includes sensing chi with fire.  

LIGHTNING:  Able to produce or redirect lightning.  

HEAT:  Able to manipulate heat.  

COMBUSTION:  Able to make explosions with firebending such as Combustion Man, or when Zuko failed to learn Lightning bending.  

I am an Earth Science Teacher who studied the four elements in university.  I hope to make a series on the science within Bending.
