Two cycles of the Avatar World have passed with no war or major incidents. A great peace has settled over the land that has continued under the current Avatar: the young fire bender Long Lian. Much like Aang and Korra before her, she came to find out she was the Avatar at a much earlier age than usual. She was born to non-bender parents so Long Lian didn't receive much training when it came to her bending prowess. In fact she wasn't aware of her abilities until a passing traveler noticed her using both firebending and earthbending to properly maintain her family's farm. The girl and her family were quickly swooped up by the Order of the White Lotus to receive the proper training she had been missing the first fourteen years of her life.
However, the Spirit World was incredibly unhappy with the the development of the Avatar. On the winter solstice, when the boundaries between the two worlds were at their closest, they sent a horde of spirit warriors to test the Avatar. If she managed to defeat them all, she would be a worthy Avatar. And if she perished, the cycle would begin anew and hopefully a more worthy Avatar would be born. The spirits drew the girl from her room in the middle of the night and swarmed her in an onslaught of attacks. The guards from the Order quickly realized what was going on and ran to her side. The poorly trained girl was being overwhelmed and her physical body was near its limits. The skilled benders of the Order managed to drive the spirits away but not before one of the lead spirits drew the girl's soul from her body and encased it in a small jar. The guards attempted to grab the jar from the cackling spirit but it quickly disappeared back to its plane of existence away from prying humans as the solstice ended.
The girl's body laid on the ground in a deep coma. While her body still lived, her spiritual energy was nearly depleted. Lucky for Long Lian she was the Avatar so her body managed to maintain a sort of support system to keep her alive. But it could only last for so long without the soul nearby. So the Order of the White Lotus came up with an idea: on the summer solstice they would enter the Spirit World and take back the Avatar's soul.
They knew it wouldn't be an easy task and worried who they should send. In the hundreds of years of peace, armies had been poorly organized and trained. Most benders used their abilities for non-combative roles and lacked training in fighting. The Order knew there were plenty of powerful benders out there though and needed to get them all in one place to "test their worth." So in the outskirts of the Ba Sing Se, a giant arena was constructed. Infused with mystical powers, the arena would be the ultimate test of any bender's abilities. Agents were sent to get the word out of the tournament that would surely entice those who seek the fame, fortune and power that was lacking in the world recently.
And you will be playing as one of the benders who sign up for the tournament. Smaller tournaments were held around the world and the winners of these tournaments were granted access to the main tournament. Just remember that you don't know the true purpose of the whole ordeal yet. You think its just win the massive prizes awarded to the winner, NOT to rescue the Avatar's lost soul.

Now here are my characters:
Name: Songorra
Age: 22
Nation of Origin: Southern Water Tribe
Bending Style: Waterbending - Songorra specializes in mainly the ice aspect of water bending. He can rain icicles on the opponent and freeze the water in their body to slow movement. His special skill is augmenting the chemicals in his body with his bending to increase the size of his body exponentially.
Physical Appearance: Songorra stands at 5'8" and 150 pounds normally. When in his special "super" state he stands at 6'7" and nearly 350 pounds. Songorra's skin is always very tan but contrasted by his white, snow-like hair. His hair used to be a dark brown but years of messing with his body's chemical composition has left it without color. It is died in a top knot much like the famous Sokka. Much like his partner Yiuxing his body is covered in tattoos that glow when performing bending. He wears the skin of a polar bear dog with its head worn like a hood and the rest covering his back. The rest of his outfit is atypical of a Southern Water tribe member: blue sleeveless top, darker blue shorts and white sandals. Even in his normal state he is a very muscular and imposing man. While not tall his body is very well toned.
Personality: He is the more outspoken between Yiuxing and himself. Songorra isn't afraid to intimidate the opponent through flashy displays of his waterbending prowess. While Yiuxing's success comes through her intelligence and planning Songorra is an accomplished bender and martial artist. His ego is massive and he has only had a few moments of humility in his life. After moving from probending to assassin work, his heart became incased in ice as he moved to the colder aspects of bending. He misses the days of mindless probending with his friends but he has accepted that this is his life work now. Songorra lacks common sense and will often get himself in trouble with authorities.
History:Songorra was born in the Southern Water Tribe to two loving parents. He was their fifth child in six years and because of this Songorra grew up in a very hectic environment. Songorra's mother was very active in the study of water bending and bringing back the Southern Tribe style that still hadn't completely recovered from the 100 Year War genocide. She was disappointed at first that Songorra hadn't shown signs of bending like his siblings and sometimes forgot to pay attention to him. Instead Songorra went hunting with his father and trained his body. One day while out with his father he managed to freeze an angry Seal Whale to prevent it from attacking his father. He too had in fact been born a bender but hadn't been under the right conditions to exhibit the abilities. Songorra's mother quickly put him through the paces and surpassed his siblings in waterbending. As he reached his teenaged years he used his waterbending abilities to fish and hunt - something that had been frowned upon in the tribe for many moons. In a confrontation with the tribal leader, he bending nearby boiling water and burned the man's face.
Frightened of the consequences he quickly left his hometown and set off for the north. He ended up in Republic City, living in a shoddy home with other wayward benders. It was here he met his best friend Yiuxing who was passing through the city for a performance with her dance company. They quickly bonded and became inseparable. Another bender, an Air Nomad named Unngi, became tight knit with them as well and the three began to enter novice probending tournaments together. Their growing success in these tournaments caught the eye of big agent who quickly signed them into the big leagues. With their nearly perfect synergy with one another and competent bending skills they quickly ascended the ranks. Within two years of being in the league they won their first championship and we're lauded as heroes in the city.
Unfortunately, Unngi disappeared off a cliff during a training accident and was presumed to have died in the fall. On top of this the two of them lost their backe without the charismatic Unngi because as the man said "You two just aren't that likeable." Desperate for money, the two of them started taking up small crime jobs along with discovering their knack at "elimination jobs." They took precautions to try to not end the target's life but sometimes it was unavoidable. Much like before their reputation grew and they were getting offers for jobs all over the world. What they wanted the most though was to get back into probending. So together they entered their respective hometown tournaments to get a place in the tournament. Songorra did so in disguise to prevent himself from getting arrested. They plan on doing ANYTHING to win the tournament and getting a place back on the circuit.
Miscellaneous Info: He has a massive fear of storms and will often stand immobilized during them.
Name: Yǔnxīng
Age: 24
Nation of Origin: Fire Nation - Ember Island
Bending Style: Firebending - She is a trained dancer. Yǔnxīng dazzles both opponents and patrons alike by shaping her fire into animals. The dancing performer is a facade for her true profession as a top assassin in which she uses varying weapons and devices combined with her firebending to eliminate her targets. She has also mastered the rare lightning bending and employs it skillfully.
Physical Appearance: Yǔnxīng is famous for being one of the few members of the Fire Nation to have blond hair. In one of her famous tricks she sets it on fire and takes on the appearance of a fiery siren. She wears a metallic golden bikini top along with silver harem pants accented by her golden silk shoes. Yǔnxīng's skin is very pale and covered in distinctive tattoos on her abdomen, arms and back. On her waist she carries a bag full of explosive stones that she uses to lay traps or escape dangerous situations.
Personality: Yǔnxīng is calm, cool and collected at all times. She is a master of seduction and will do anything to accomplish her objective. Her idol is the famed Lunatic Princess Azula as evidenced by the elaborate tattoo of the figure on her back. She differs from the Princess in that she has complete control of her emotions. She is not completely void of emotion and she does have a soft spot for animals and children. She refuses to murder anyone with small children at home. She takes pride in her skill and is constantly honing her power. She isn't necessarily a firebending prodigy but is not one to be underestimated. What she lacks in firebending skill she makes up for in intelligence and skill with weapons.
History: Yǔnxīng was born on Ember Island to a family of performers. Her father and mother often left with their troupe to travel the world, leaving Yǔnxīng at home with her aunt, grandmother and cousins. She took this alone time to gain a knack for dancing and was soon sent away to train at the same school her parents trained at. It was also around this time she began to develop firebending skills and was impressing her teachers by incorporating it into her dancing. After two years of training she joined her parent's troupe and became the rising star amongst the newer performers. Yiuxing longed for something more and between performances she would often wander the city to meet people at bars, get into fights with others and cause general havoc. Her growing reputation as a scoundrel forced her own parents to fire her and leave her behind in Republic City after her latest arrest. She was bailed out of a jail by an Airbender named Unngi she had met and saved during one her brawls. He took her back to his shoddy apartment where he lived with several other layabout benders. It was with them she learned to hone her bending skills more and took up practicing with the blades she is famous for now. It was also here she met Songorra and developed a lifelong friendship with him.
After Unngi apparently perished she took it upon herself to develop no more friendships and protect the only one she had left with Songorra. She took on the brunt of most of the crime jobs so he wouldn't be at risk of death. She wished for the less dangerous days of living in the arena and would do anything to get them back. So she quickly blew through Ember Island's entrance tournament and ensured Songorra got through his. Together she plans on quickly dispatching the competition in the main tournament through any means necessary...
Miscellaneous Info: She owns a Catacoon named Isis that Yǔnxīng uses to scout out locations and distract guards. It hates Songorra though and refuses to listen to him.

Rules
- Only one bender per person.
- No controlling other's characters without permission. You can play around with what the results of their bending does but no directly controlling their bodies.
- No killing other characters.
- I'd rather there be no swearing at all. Damn is acceptable however.
