My own entry for the Genasi and Aasimar Secret Satan 2024 , featuring Parch, for @dragonbackvoyager ! She's a lava genasi/goliath monk and the design was simply SO fun to tackle on! Please look at that hair I'm very proud of that hair-

"What's happening?" said Lobsang, as the last of the monks surged past.

"I daresay we shall soon be told," said Lu-Tze, starting to roll himself a cigarette.

"Hadn't we better hurry? Everyone's going!" The sound of flapping sandals died away in the distance.

"Nothing seems to be on fire," said Lu-Tze calmly. "Besides, if we wait a little then by the time we get there everyone will have stopped shouting and perhaps they will be making some sense."

Thinking abt the air nomads:

What if, after the war, once the dust has settled a little, Aang goes back to travelling, hoping that maybe he can find at least some trace of surviving airbenders. As an added bonus, he gets to do more of the exploring and wandering that he had to put on hold.

Toph goes with him ofc. She only just got a taste of real freedom and it was overshadowed by ever-present impending doom. While she's on speaking terms with her parents, she isnt quite ready to be back under their roof on a permanent basis. The rest of the gaang have their individual homes and responsibilities that they get back to, though they join for the odd field trip or adventure when they can.

So anyway, they're touring all over the world and over the years they notice just how displaced so many people have become. EK citizens who barely escaped the blaze but lost everything; FN military now decommissioned with no idea how to carry on; people looking for a new start in the hard-won peace. Maybe it starts with Toph heading back to Earth Rumble, where a group of young runaways scrounge for cheap fights to make a little money.

At each turn they find more and more people with no homes to return to and no family to protect them; runaways escaping the roles the war forced them into. Gradually, Aang and Toph start to see that they aren't so different from themselves. They just want a new start.

So they decide to give them one. They clean up the temples and set up villages in the surrounding areas (helps to be master earthbenders), where people can arrive and stay as long as they need. Travellers and refugees pass through in droves, sometimes choosing to stay and rebuild their lives there, sometimes continuing in their wandering with a guarantee that they'll always have a place to return to should they have the need.

Over time, the lemurs grow in number and even some flying bison calfs (hybrids with a relative species maybe?), can be seen in the skies. Whenever the founders visit, it isn't the same but Aang feels a little more at home.

The first time someone asks Aang to teach him his philosophies, and expresses his desire to become a monk, how can he refuse? Maybe it's a former soldier, somebody who's done terrible things, looking for a path to redemption. So Aang teaches him, and then he teaches others. And though they may not be airbenders, they are as earnest and faithful as any nun or monk Aang knew before. The temples become filled with new faces: Firebenders, Earthbenders, Waterbenders and non-benders all wearing Air nomad orange and yellow.

Aang always feared that it would be his responsibility to have airbender children, and the idea of forcing that on someone he loved terrified him. Maybe that's why he waited so long before acting on his feelings for his best friend, his travelling companion, his fellow-village builder and temple-restorer. How could they have a truly happy relationship with this pressure hanging over them? He wishes he could be content with the new way of things that he and his friends have created. But he knows that he can't be the last airbender forever...

Nobody knows why some children can bend the elements and others can't. Is it blood? Is it blessing? Is it the land in which you're born? Or is it the simple allocation of fates decided by the values and norms you're raised believing in? Is it enough to be surrounded by the culture and beliefs of the Air Nomads? Nobody knows...

All they know is that nobody sees it coming when the six-year-old daughter of two non-bender villagers from the Earth Kingdom and Northern Water Tribe sends herself flying twelve feet into the air with a sneeze.

TA-DA!! Monk is here! I'll be releasing them in order of how they appear in the selection screen. (Inv and Watcher, we'll have to see about- iterators will come separately)

Why a rainwing?- well adapted to eating fruit. Thought of as more pacifist and harmless. Smol.

Details-

Monk's rainwing name would be sunshine. They can't fly very well and mostly rely on gliding. They absolutely love to sun bathe with their sibling. SO many rainforest friends. makes jewelry from flowers and hands them out in free time. Pretty much refuses to spit venom after accidentally hurting Surv just a bit.

“The Awakening of Roku” what kind of awakening?

Avatar Live Action Spoilers

The fact that Gyatso was explicitly killed by Sozin in this adaptation, both of whom we know were close to Roku... my god, the parallels!

Like, Roku probably told Gyatso about Sozin when they were young. Did Gyatso know who it was that was killing him? The same Sozin Roku told him about, now trying to kill Roku's reincarnation?

And I doubt Sozin knew about Gyatso.... but what if he did? Saw in Gyatso the "betrayal" of Roku, part of the reason Roku stood against his glorious plan to rule everyone?

And Gyatso tells Aang he will always be his friend! That resonates so much harder knowing what we know about him and Roku! Gaaaah.

Swear to god, they better lean into the feels hard if we ever get a "The Avatar and the Fire Lord" retelling, because that's gonna hurt even more when our first intro to Sozin is him killing Gyatso.

EDIT: ALSO, Sozin really had an axe to grind against Roku in this version, huh? He not only let Roku die (i'm assuming, if they keep that element of the backstory. Heck, maybe Sozin flat-out killed him this time around), but personally went to the air temple to kill the reincarnation of his friend (as a child), while Gyatso loved and protected the reincarnation of his friend until the end (since he still believed Aang was in the temple).
