A Diamond in the Rough

So, earlier today I was brainstorming about various things when an idea came to me.
An idea for an RP.
A pretty good one, too.
I think.
Idk.
Maybe not.

But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu... *drumroll*

Spoiler

TA-DAH!!!!!!!!!
Yes, fellow KHV RP-ers (the few and the proud), it is time for an "AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER" RP!
I'm extremely excited about this, but as much as I'd like to just hit the ground running with it, I know that can't be done. Why? Because I adore this series. With all my heart. And for that reason, I believe it deserves an RP to do it justice. An RP that takes time to put together. An RP that I, alone, cannot construct.
Which is where you come in :sweat:
If you're reading this, and have any interest in it whatsoever, I need you to collaborate with me. Reply with any spontaneous ideas you may have for the RP pertaining to how it would work, what the background story should be, where it should take place, etc.
Let's make this happen.
Although it may have been done before. In which case, let's make this happen AGAIN!
Thanks for your time :china:

yes yes yes a thousands times yes lol I will brainstorm and let you know if I come up with anything

 

I was just talking about this with somebody else earlier! I think the first step would be deciding what kind of RP you want it to be: OC-based or within the universe of Avatar with the actual characters?

 

I was actually thinking of making one after I finished the first part yesterday. >>;

As much as I agree with Machina about it being centered on one person, I think it'd be a bad idea to kill off the Avatar. The whole show was/is about the Avatar so it'd be a little difficult to do an RP based off of the show without the Avatar. ...If I'm even making sense.

If an Avatar is killed while in the Avatar State, the line of Avatars will be destroyed permanently and there won't be anymore reborn.

If you decide to go with Machina's idea, I suggest not killing him/her permanently. But I still think it'll be a little hard to find the Avatar and stuff since it'll only be a baby if you start it out like that.

I also think that maybe an OC based RP would be better because the show is rather popular and I think a lot of people would want to be related to the characters. << I don't know. I was still pretty much brainstorming since I thought of the idea as well, but I also wasn't sure if I'd do it.

 

Definitely agree with all of that. It's for sure going to be an OC-based RP, and I really like the idea of the alternate universe (same time frame, different characters). Also, I was thinking it should include a map like the original series: Just to maintain a sense of direction and location.

 

I like that idea. Same time frame as the original series or Korra?
Also, I think you should find a way to make it so the benders aren't unbalanced. Most people will go for Firebenders, I think.

 

Perhaps the timeframe could be before the Firebenders take control, after the Avatar dies, before the new Avatar is discovered. That way you wouldn't have one character being overly strong but you'd still be able to keep it along the lines of the main series... just an idea.

 

Also, keep in mind that if you use the same backstory as the original series, there'd only be one Airbender. So you'd either have to change this (to allow more people to be Airbenders) or change it another type of bender, who I would imagine would be the central character, regardless of whether or not s/he's the Avatar.

 

Alright you guys, I took all your responses into consideration and spent the past 6 hours putting together the RP, and it is now up and running! Please let me know on here what things you like/dislike about it. I'm sorry I couldn't please all of you, or fit with some of your ideals, but I did the best I could and I hope you like it!
