~Character Types
BendersBending, the ability to manipulate an element, is very significant to all aspects of life in the Avatar world. There are significantly four basic Bending Arts. These four basic Bending Arts are used to bend physical materials; fire, water, earth, and air. The basic Bending Arts are also nearly the only elements with sub-elements. The Avatar is capable of using all of the basic Bending Arts, but also able to learn some of the more advanced elements. The bending abilities are not defined genetically, but are related to one's nationality; however, due to wide-spread scattering and mixed teaching, there are multiple benders in foreign nations; such as airbenders in the water tribes, vice-versa, and so on.
Bending ElementsFightersFighters are far different from benders, in the sense that instead of using spiritual energy to control the physical make-up of the world, they use hard-trained skill and physical combat in both hand-to-hand and weaponry to win battles. Fighters use techniques pertaining normally to one of the four basic Combat Arts. These four basic Combat Arts are: swordsmanship, macing, stealth style, and martial arts. Although there are a wide variety of other specialties besides these four, these four are the most commonly utilized in the world of fighting and combat, that does not involve bending. In ancient time, the fighters have actually had long-lasting feuds with benders, feeling either inferior or lower than them, they would often rebel; today it remains peaceful, however, both benders and fighters live in harmony.
Combat SpecialtiesCiviliansCivilians, out of all three character types, are certainly the most diverse. They have a vast inability to fight, due to their extreme disadvantage, and choose instead to indulge in more human things; such as arts, literature, politics, or science. Civilians tend to be more intelligent, artistically inclined, and generally academically superior than the other two types, which nearly makes up for their lack of fighting skill. Due to this, they choose to live more sheltered lives and participate in political and normal activities, rather than combat or fighting activities. The most basic of talents that civilians have are: literature, art, politics, mathematics, science, and strategy.
However, there are still certain rules pertaining to all three of these types. You may only have one type, and that's it. This is to eliminate any high advantages over other characters with only one type.
- Only Benders may have elements or anything pertaining to the manipulation of them.
- Only Fighters may have advanced weapons and armor or anything pertaining to them. (although other types may have very basic weapons; i.e: small daggers)
- Only Civilians may have advanced talents or items. This means that only they may have things such as lock picks. (although other types may have basic items such as glasses)
