Avatar: Ashes Reignited



Introduction

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

A hundred years passed and my brother and I encountered the new Avatar, a waterbender named Korra. And although her bending skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she can defeat the Firelord. But I believe Korra can save the world."

"The Avatar failed. The Fire Nation stood victorious. But there was a terrible price: my father, the Phoenix King, was crippled in the battle and his wounds are taking their toll. I have pledged my life to the Fire Nation, but he grows more insane with every day. If I do not act, all that will be left are ruins and ashes."

This is a story in which the villains have won. But the day is not lost. Some villains are worse than others, new heroes rise and old alliances may be rekindled. The Avatar is broken, but even a broken sword can be made new.

A year has passed since the Phoenix King defeated Avatar Korra. The people, heroes and old masters who had banded around her are imprisoned, scattered or dead. Yet in victory, King Ozai grows more paranoid with each day, seeing usurpers and traitors everywhere. He alone cannot control the three Nations.

His daughter, Azula, has grown disillusioned with her father. Under the Phoenix King, her position as Firelord is administrative, her title as Queen of the Earth Kingdom a mere formality. In his crippled state, Ozai fears her growing skill more than ever and will not even see her in person, yet has recently announced that she is to marry an influential nobleman. All these together have finally convinced Azula: the Phoenix King needs to go. Her own bid for supreme power is only just beginning … and involves the Avatar and her closest allies.

And what of the others? Imprisoned, held ransom, enslaved. But beaten? Much can be achieved when your enemy thinks you defeated, if hope is not lost.

Themes and Tone

A revival of a former attempt that never got off the ground! This game combines smut with political intrigue and fancy martial arts. We are open to all orientations and gender roles (though canon characters should not deviate TOO heavily so as to remain recognizable)  and f/f themes in particular are baked into the setup. The game will be taking place in the EXTREME category, partially to make sure we're safe if something more extreme does happen to occur and due to the off-screen references to genuine rather than sexual torture. The game will include BDSM (though very likely only the milder varieties) and possibly brainwashing -- all, of course, only with the consent of those involved.

The tone for this game is intended as a healthy mix -- dark, but with some lighter and romantic moments. Heavy on social scenes and sexual content, but with the potential for a lot of action and fun as well.

The format will be freeform and we are looking for highly motivated, active participants who are willing to contribute to the greater story and bring in their own character agenda.

Accepted players are invited to actively contribute and introduce new elements to the story, provide backdrops and may introduce minor NPCs freely. Most elements provided in the opening are up for discussion and the specifics to any of the cliff notes attached to the canon characters are open for changes and reinterpretation by their players.

Setting Creation Background and Credits

It was years ago that I answered the request for a solo game that sought to pair up the Fire Princess, Azula, and the waterbender Katara. It spawned the game 'The new toy of the princess' and its later heavily revised revival, 'Year of the Phoenix King'.

Chuukun, my partner for those games, and I decided to incorporate elements from Legends of Korra into the world of The Last Airbender and see how that would change things. To replace Aang, who never entered the iceberg, with Korra. To include Asami and have her take Toph's place in the main cast.

Toph was intended to start her own rebellion in the Earth Kingdom at a later date and rise to prominence in a different way. It was a rather elaborate, thought out setup that I want to revive with this group game.

THE FOUR THREE NATIONS The Fire Nation Paranoia reigns. While Azula has proven an effective Firelord, her efforts are continually frustrated by restrictions placed upon her, orders by her father and the corruption of local nobility. Even here, in their victory, the madness of Ozai is felt. The Earth Kingdom With large chunks of the contintent burnt to ashes, the Earth Kingdom's remaining forces had no choice but to surrender fully and completely. Technically Azula holds the title of Earth Queen after usurping the throne, but the Phoenix King has assigned a local governor originating from the colonies: a cruel man who spends most of the remaining resources on establishing Fire Nation immigrants as a firm ruling caste. Talks of a new rebel force gathering abound. The Water Tribes The Northern Water Tribe is the last holdout, weathering a constant siege from Fire Nation troops thanks to their advantageous location. Ozai is gathering his forces for one last push to conquer this final front. The Southern Water Tribe is practically nonexistent as a nation now -- in fact, they have been annexed and are now Fire Nation colonies. The Air Nomads Destroyed to the last, as far as anyone knows. Character Hints The Air Nomads were, by their very name, nomadic. It is entirely possible that a small isolated group survived outside of their monasteries and decided to retreat far away from settled land, or perhaps for some to have abandoned their cultural trappings and gone into hiding in other nations. One thing is certain, however: to display any measure of air-bending ability is going to attract a lot of attention. CHARACTERS All characters are aged up appropriately to adult age. Their relative ages compared to each other are intact, but I tried to add some variety to account for different birth dates. The respective ages as of the start of the game are as follows. Main Cast - List of Ages Korra, 19 Asami, 20 Katara, 18 Sokka, 19 Toph, 17 Suki, 19 Zuko, 20 Jet, presumably died at 19. It wasn't very clear. Azula, 19 Ty Lee, 18 Mai, 20 Mai recently had her birthday, Ty Lee's is coming up.

HOW TO APPLY

We'll try and keep things simple.

Canon Characters
A full background writeup is not necessary. I want to see some writing on their personality and your take on how the changes made to the setting by this game affected them. You may use a suitable adult-version image and/or include an appearance description text.

Please provide a writing sample. Try to do something representative that shows you 'get' the character you want to play and that you can present them in a suitable manner. If you've written the character before, feel free to use an old sample.

Original Characters
Please provide the full gamut - background, personality, appearance and writing sample. You may use images if the style looks evocative of the cartoons. Otherwise please stick to a written entry.

If so desired, unless other prospective players have strong objections, one or two female characters (canon or original) may instead be fully functional hermaphrodites. This is intended as a rare genetic quirk, hence the limited availability.

TAKEN CAST
Azula. Firelord. Earth Queen. After more and more disappointments, intends to overthrow her mad father and bring stability to the three nations. Not insane, but still ruthless, manipulative and often cruel. Strangely affectionate with Ty Lee, partially because they are in a very active SM relationship. (On very rare, very special occasions Ty Lee gets to be the dom, but shhhh, that's a secret. Spilling it will get you banished, peasant!)

Has aspirations of converting her most powerful former enemies to her cause and forming a royal harem.

AVAILABLE CANON CAST AND BEGINNING STATUS

Ty Lee, upbeat acrobat and the original chi blocker. Staunch supporter of Azula. Her most trusted friend, lover and slave. It is she who introduced Azula to the idea of dominating other women sexually and their master-slave play has fostered absolute trust.

Mai, terrifyingly accurate knife thrower and deadpan snarker. Since Azula became Firelord, has been appointed royal advisor and has the authority to act in her place. Feeling rejected by Zuko,  she harbors resentment towards the Avatar and her crew.

Consider the following more as suggestions - it's entirely possible to offer your own narrative for these characters, it only needs to remain consistent with the setting itself.

Korra, the Avatar. Master of three Elements. Currently imprisoned. Was tortured by the crazed Phoenix King. A powerful and spirited woman, she fell for Asami when they met.

Asami, Fire Nation traitor and mechanist. In a secret relationship with Korra (see above). Is being kept under house arrest at the estate of her father in the Fire Nation capital. Her father, Hiroshi Sato, is an important merchant and politician.

Katara, the Master Waterbender. Defeated and imprisoned by Firelord Azula who intends to turn her into an ally. Harbors a crush on the Avatar, but is unaware that Korra and Asami are in love. Guilty about her feelings due to traditional water tribe upbringing.

Zuko, Azula's brother. Traitor to the Fire Nation. Dead as far as anyone knows. If interested, PM me for details.

Other canon characters are available for applying! However, the above should be filled first if at all possible to help set the stage. Original characters who fit into the general social area established above -- Royal Palace, Fire Nation nobility/high-rank military and so on -- can be easily integrated.

Other venues such as Ozai and his battle for the Northern Water Tribe territory or Toph and her resistance in the Earth Kingdom can be explored, but need a strongly motivated player and may be asked to act as a Co-GM if the game blows up in size.

FURTHER SETTING CONSIDERATIONS

More thoughts on the differences to normal - these assume the default state of canon characters listed above, so may be subject to change.

Korra gives Ozai a good fight, but is defeated. She manages to cripple Ozai and he, in turn, captures her. Due to his new weakness, he grows increasingly erratic and paranoid. As the Phoenix King, he begins to move against the last remaining holdout: the Northern Water Tribe.

Korra does not have a flying Bison, greatly reducing their ability and potential for movement across the continent for a long time. This was the primary motivation to change Toph's role away from being a member of Team Avatar.

It could also mean that the Avatar never visited Ba Sing Se, leading to a smoother takeover by the Fire Nation.

The Airbenders were (seemingly?) eradicated. Their Avatar was killed as a child and, for some reason, did not reincarnate immediately. The Avatar has no living teacher to learn airbending from and would only be able to unlock them through spiritual communion with her past lives. Which, starting out, is not Korra's strength or priority, so her bending is restricted to Fire, Earth and Water barring further spiritual developments.

Asami would have appeared as the primary student/assistant to the Mechanist, her attitude and interest in machinery crossing the borders between Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom. Her joining Team Avatar means they gain air transport, but has her marked as a traitor to the Fire Nation.

Korra is more martial than Aang by far. She would be more respected as a worthy opponent by many of the Fire Nation officers, including Admiral Zhao.

Zuko does not waver after his first time to change sides and stays with Team Avatar. In our solo game this was because he had developed one-sided feelings for Korra, but could be for a number of other reasons if this is not wanted. This puts Mai firmly in Azula's camp.

With Mai never betraying Azula for Zuko (and Ty Lee not following suite), the princess does not suffer from her breakdown. Her stress is eased by the presence of her loyal (if dysfunctional) friends and her frustration channeled into a slowly growing antipathy towards her father instead of the self-destructive paranoia she developed throughout the third season. As a result, the final battle between Katara, Zuko and Azula goes quite differently.

Azula currently holds both the title of Firelord and Queen of the Earth Kingdom, at least until Ozai finds a suitable pawn to fully take over the Earth Kingdom.

On Factions and their Establishment

As seen above, the basic premise is centered around the Fire Court, with a dash of our heroes thrown in. But that hardly needs to be the end of it! Whilst I'm trying to establish a base for social interaction, literally any kind of character from any origin is possible to play here. The ideal goal is for multiple factions to be established, all affecting and influencing what happens in the world at large! Earth Kingdom Rebellion! Northern Water Tribe war council -- or infiltration team! Many other things! All that's needed is a pro-active approach -- the game will be very sandbox-like once it begins. No ending is set in stone and changing the power dynamics of the world is entirely possible!

[VonDoom]

Name: Azula Titles: Firelord, Earth Queen (nominal), Phoenix Princess (technically), Fire Princess (former), various lesser titles for smaller hereditary holdings. Gender: female Age: 19 Eye Color:  amber Hair Color: black Ethnicity: Fire Nation Important Canon Differences Azula fought fewer but far more intense battles with Avatar Korra when they eventually clashed, since Korra would actually fight back. With Zuko joining the Avatar early on and never rekindling his old relationship with Mai, Azula had the full support of her two closest friends and allies. As a result, she never develops her increased paranoia and doesn't suffer from her eventual breakdown. While their relationship was always very close and implicitly trusting until the divisive event that didn't happen in this game, Azula and Ty Lee are now intimate. Details pending discussion with a potential player. Retaining her self-control, Azula straight up won the Agni Kai with Zuko. Personality 'Almost isn't good enough'. Far from a throwaway line, this statement defines Azula. She felt neglected, even hated by her mother, who always seemed to prefer her more sensitive brother. Seeking approval from her uncle, a renowned general, she only found disappointment and rejection when he failed to see that she was far more interested in being a great warrior and general like he had been. Only Ozai saw those qualities, fostered them and thus earned her admiration. Always under intense and often outright abusive pressure to excel, she strove towards perfection and as a means to survive quickly developed characteristics very reminiscent of the classic definition of a sociopath -- manipulative and often uncaring towards the feelings of others. She adapted and thrived in a situation her brother continually struggled with, harboring a measure of resentment for him since she felt that he had it easy compared to the high demands placed upon her. When Zuko was scarred for his transgressions, she felt vindicated at the time, only realizing that she actually missed her brother after he was gone. Unlike a traditional sociopath she does not lack the capacity for empathy and has keen insight into other people, often reading those unschooled in hiding their emotions like a book -- and able to predict even those who are quite well. Azula values warrior-like qualities in a person -- strength, discipline, the ability to take and understand orders properly. Guile and cunning are desirable in war and she views employing such against foes as anything but dishonorable. Though she loves to mock her brother for his focus on it, she has her own manner of honor -- war prisoners, such as the Kyoshi Warriors, were treated surprisingly well under her reign compared to accounts of earlier treatments of waterbenders (Hama) and the total massacre of the Air Nomads. She also tries to avoid needless bloodshed -- for pragmatic reasons. It's bad form to waste potential resources, after all. Ozai effectively putting her on the benches with her 'promotion' to Firelord was a big strike against him. For the first time, Azula directed her own keen insight against her father and began to see that he was not so different after all, fearing her like so many others. By putting her on the throne, he could keep her ambition in check, keep her from the front, from active combat and accumulation of greater glory whilst burying her under tedious administrative work. When he was badly hurt after his battle for Korra, he became worse and Azula grew more and more frustrated by irrational orders and his dismissal of her. By the time the game begins, she has turned completely against him and views him as an enemy who must be not just defeated, but usurped. After all, what use is defeating him if she doesn't get to wear the crown afterwards? Abilities Firebending Prodigy - One of the most skilled firebenders alive. Able to create and sustain blue flame. Bend the Lightning - Azula can generate powerful lightning strikes, but can only release them in a straight line. A Player - As in 'you weren't even'. Azula exudes superiority and is very adept at social manipulation. Acrobat - While this will ever be the field in which Ty Lee reigns supreme, Azula is no slouch, balancing perfectly on just her arms in heavy armor, running along slack lines and leaping circles around less agile foes. Martial Mastery - Azula's style is distinct from most firebenders, surprising with the use of both hands and feet, she strings evasion and counter moves into a constant stream of attacks. Detailed analysis. Writing Sample (Taken from Year of the Phoenix King. If you have a previous RP post of the character you're applying for, you may use it freely, but please supply a link to the game.) Azula's fingers idly caressed the skin above her prisoner's sternum, just between her breasts, demonstrating an utter disregard for Katara's defensive antics. Though her legs had enough freedom for the waterbender to press them together, if very uncomfortably because of the chains that forced her ankles apart, anything above her waist did not share that privilege. "Whatever I make my business … is my business," she said with a smile, brushing just a little to the right, almost touching Katara's naked breast. It was covered only by a thin piece of cloth -- a cloth died in the very colors of the Fire Nation -- the only protection she had from those amber eyes. But they seemed more interested in her own. "So Zuko and Korra didn't get together," she mused, all the while continuing her careful ministrations. Perhaps her outburst had indeed had its intended effect, since the topic seemed to have moved away from Katara's virginity, or perhaps it had told Azula all she needed to know. "I suppose he never was very good at getting what he wanted." She smiled, showing white teeth and lightly poked Katara with her index finger. "Unlike me." "Still, you certainly were very eager to clarify that. I wonder why." She trailed off, her expression once again looking very much like the proverbial catowl. "Did you have your eyes on my brother, I wonder?" Her finger began to wander lower, sensually drawing down along Katara's stomach, gently, insisting, and infuriatingly impossible to draw away from. "No, that's not it," she continued, speaking more to herself than her prisoner as she drew her conclusions from what she already knew and Katara's current reactions. Azula's eyes widened in delight with sudden realization -- both of the fact and the implications. "It's the Avatar, isn't it. How surprisingly deviant of you." A brief glance upwards, to Katara's trembling hands and the goosebumps upon her skin. "Is it a woman's touch that you desire, then? The avatar's hands? Her lips?" As she spoke, she came even closer. Only inches separated her face from Katara's -- and then, she suddenly reached around the bound water tribe woman, hand possessively grabbing her rear, hoping to incite a gasp, or words of protest, anything that she could silence as she leaned forward to claim Katara's lips. She knew it would be, had to be, a short-lived moment and withdrew just as quickly. Katara had not yet been trained properly, was still rebellious and would attempt to resist -- the moment of surprise was Azula's opening, her opportunity to leave Katara with a memory to simmer upon. Yet there was a desire in that short kiss, a desire burning powerful, selfish and possessive, something that said, on an instinctive level beneath all the trappings and conscious thought: I want you. You will be mine. Azula's lips were warm and soft, her breath hot and distracting. And then it was gone.

[VonDoom]

Feel free to reply now! Note: I'm doing a light rewrite of the opening, since I was informed that it reads like actual torture might be a feature of the game. I just wanted to make sure that people are fine with allusions to torture happening (mostly to NPCs) off-screen.

Edit: Added an extra bit on factions within the game.

[Empyrean]

I always did like the Avatar universe. Though I've only seen the first two seasons of Korra. Can I put in my bid for Ty Lee? I always liked Ty Lee.

If not, then maybe I'll come up with one of those hidden Airbenders.

Hmm...one last thought.  Could it be possible that Ty Lee and one of the hidden Airbenders might have met at some point, given that Ty Lee was with a traveling circus and all? Just throwing that out there.

[Drowdeviant]

I stake a claim to either Korra or Ty Lee! xD

My only desire is for Pabu to be involved in these shenanigans somehow! xD

[VonDoom]

Hello guys and thank you for your interest!

No advance claim staking, please, though. This game is not first come, first served.

@Empyrean: It is certainly possible! Though likely best hinged on whether someone puts forward such a character and wants the connection.

[Empyrean]

Name: Ty Lee
Titles: Royal Consort to the Firelord, The Chiblocker, Her Pinkness (affectionate term by the Royal Palace staff)
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Eye Color: Brownish-grey
Hair Color: Brown
Ethnicity:  Fire Nation

Appearance Ty Lee is a fairly short young woman, maybe 5'2" all together. Her body is slim, though her muscles are very well-toned. She has a moon-like round face, spacious eyes, a pert nose, and, most of the time, a big beaming smile. While her body is surprisingly voluptuous at the breasts and waist and hips and rear, she doesn't usually dress to emphasize those facts. At least not in public. She prefers loose, airy clothing like her customary pinkish-red top and wide pants, which gives her more room for her acrobatics and to be flexible. She usually only dresses up specially when Azula desires her to or for formal occasions, though she does have a specialized wardrobe for her playtime with Azula.

Important Canon Differences

Ty Lee faced a far greater challenge in those few fights she got into with Avatar Korra. Even with teamwork and coordination the Avatar and her friends were far more of a fight in this world. Since she was never pushed to decide between Azula and Mai in this reality, she remained cheerfully loyal to Azula. Acting on the strong bond between them, the two became lovers officially. Ty Lee loves and trusts Azula implicitly, and does whatever she can to ease her burdens and help her achieve her dreams. She also introduced Azula to the concept of dominating other women sexually for their mutual pleasure, though it wasn't really a hard sell.

Personality

Ty Lee is cheerful, upbeat, and a positive person overall. She always has been chipper, but now everything seems to be going her way. She and Azula are together and happy, she finally has a distinction of her own (not one of her six identical sisters is consort of the Firelord after all!), she has her friend Mai to try and cheer up, and Azula got to be Firelord! The war's almost over too. The only slightly dark cloud on the horizon is the fact that Zuzu turned out to be a traitor, which was too bad because she always thought that if he could just learn to enjoy himself he'd be happy like Azula was. And she secretly always wanted him to get together with Mai. But other than that, everything's great! Why should she feel down?

Abilities

Acrobatics: Ty Lee is an unparalleled acrobat, trained in the circus she joined when she ran away from home. She's a natural contortionist, with a superb sense of balance and a natural ease at home in the air. She stays in practice too. She asked for and received a private gymnasium in the palace where she can practice her somersaults, flips, hand-walking, and other acrobatic and contortionist skills every day. It's good for her health, and it pays to be flexible and limber. After all, there's no telling what Azula will want her to do on the battlefield or in the bedroom and she likes to keep fit.

Chiblocking: This dangerous art is something Ty Lee developed on her own. By striking specific pressure points of the human body, she can temporarily paralyze others. Striking these points also has the side-effect of disabling bending, since those arts require a certain amount of movement. The paralysis and bending-nullification only lasts for a half-hour to an hour at most, but that's plenty of time to turn the tide of battle.

Writing Sample

The hallways echoed with the cheerful whistling coming from the young woman. Most people might not expect such a cheerful sound to fill the hallways of this, the royal palace of the Fire Nation. After all, this was the stern and serious place where Firelords for generations had planned the subjugation of the world. This was the place where decisions were made that changed lives, or in the case of the Air Nomads, ended civilizations. This place of dark woods and stone and sharply angled pagoda tops was entirely too sedate and serious for silly play.

Which is one reason why she whistled. Ty Lee always had felt that what this place needed was something fun! Something to lighten the mood! She couldn't imagine how Azula's ancestors had stood to be surrounded by stone and fire and not have anything to break up the tedium. Fortunately, she was here now! The palace staff was used to the short girl walking on her hands through the halls, or swinging from the chandeliers. No matter how serious and grim they were, many of them hid smiles as the happy girl had set about on her self-imposed mission to bring cheer to the palace, their lives, and especially the life of the Firelord.

A bright blush came to her cheeks as she thought of her Azula. Her whole body tingled and she could feel her nipples beginning to poke through the silken white top she was wearing. Azula was always super-serious when important things were happening, like when she'd fought the Avatar or conquered Ba Sing Se. But in private she was so warm and passionate and full of energy. Ty Lee thought of her like the lightning she commanded. Sure, she could be scary and dangerous, but underneath all that was a person of great energy and passion, just looking for an outlet. And lucky her, Ty Lee got to be that outlet! She did a full flip from her hands up to one of the hanging chandeliers and began to swing from one to the next to shave some time off her route.

This time of day Azula would be down in the dungeons, trying to crack the Avatar or one of her friends. Ty Lee sometimes accompanied her, but sometimes Azula needed solitude to work, and she understood that. So while she played with the toys, Ty Lee was on her way to one of the boring meetings that the Phoenix King usually shoved off on Azula. Something something complaints from the Earth Kingdom, blah blah, rate of taxation, bleh. Boring and a waste of Azula's talents. Everyone would be much better off once the Phoenix King was gone, and Ty Lee knew her Azula could pull that off. In the meantime, she'd attend the meeting and make all the appropriate noises and things so Azula could review her notes later and come to a decision. This shouldn't take longer than an hour or two. Then she could go see if Azula was done yet so they could go on their planned picnic by the fountains. Azula said she'd come up with a new way to feed the turtleducks. That was always fun! Yep! Another perfect pink-auraed day!

[VonDoom]

That's a great application, Empyrean, thank you.  :-) Let's hope we get many more!

[Empyrean]

I hope so too. And I hope I'm approved. :)

[Metraxa]

I'm interested. Just need to think about who I want to be

[SilkenVenom]

I like the idea of this.

What about characters you didn't mention in the list? I was kind of considering Kuvira.

[VonDoom]

I hope so too. And I hope I'm approved. :)

Approvals will be done at the end of recruitment.  :-)

I like the idea of this.

What about characters you didn't mention in the list? I was kind of considering Kuvira.

Certainly possible! The advanced bending forms are more in line with the original series, so she wouldn't have had the opportunity to readily learn metal bending -- it doesn't really exist yet. Other than that, if you can find a good role for her in this setting, she'd definitely be viable.

[SilkenVenom]

Hmmm...Kuvira without metal bending? I'll think about it.

So no metal, lava or blood bending? Good to keep in mind.

[Inerrant Lust]

I'm still mulling over if I want to join or not, but I could possibly do Korra.

I've written her once before, and put a bit of energy into it making sure it was true to her character since I usually don't play canonical characters. It helped that it was an alternate history as well and writing her as a quasi-villain was fun.

[VonDoom]

Hey fellow fans!

Sadly, due to the low number of interest, I'll be closing this game down. Apologies to all who were interested and put effort into creating and discussing their characters. I may make another attempt at an Avatar-based game at a later point with a different focus -- perhaps a broader one with original characters only and a pure sandbox, or something less ambitious and on a smaller scale. I hope I'll see you again then!


It so happens that I'm also in the process of starting another game right now, which has garnered a lot of interest, but which has a very different theme. If you're interested, feel free to click the banner in my signature.
