Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a world that is home to humans, fantastic animals, and spirits. Human civilization is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. Each nation has its own natural element, on which it bases its society. Furthermore, people known as "Benders" have the ability to manipulate the eponymous element of their nation using the physical motions of martial arts.based each Bending style on a style of real-world martial art, leading to visual differences in the techniques used by Waterbenders (tai chi chuan), Earthbenders (Hung Ga kung fu, for the most part), Firebenders (Northern Shaolin kung fu) and Airbenders (baguazhang). Each country is also associated with a season: Autumn for the Air Nomads, winter for the Water Tribe, spring for the Earth Kingdom and summer for the Fire Nation.
At any given time, there is only one person alive in the world of Avatar who is capable of bending all four elements: the show's titular Avatar, the spirit of the planet manifested in human form. When an Avatar dies, he or she is reincarnated into the next nation in the Avatar Cycle, in the order of the seasons. Legend holds the Avatar must master each bending art in seasonal order as well, starting with their native element. For the Avatar, learning to bend their opposite element can be extremely difficult; the example shown in the series is Aang's inability to stand his ground head-on while Earthbending, his Airbender training having placed emphasis on circling, approaching from new angles and adapting on the fly.
The Avatar possesses a unique power called the Avatar State, which endows the Avatar with the knowledge and abilities of all past Avatars and acts as a self-triggering defense mechanism, although it can be made subject to the will of the user through various methods, such as extensive trial and training (such as Avatar Roku), or if he/she opens his/her bodily Chakras. If an Avatar is killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle will be broken, and the Avatar will cease to exist. Through the ages, countless incarnations of Avatar have served to keep the four nations in harmony, and maintain world order. The Avatar serves as the bridge between the physical world and the Spirit World, allowing him or her to solve problems that normal benders cannot.
~Fighting Styles~
- Tai Chi focuses on alignment, Body Structure, Breath, and visualization.
- Hung Gar was chosen for its firmly rooted stances and powerful strikes.
- Northern Shaolin Kung Fu uses strong arm and leg movements.
- Ba Gua uses dynamic circular movements and quick directional changes. This technique uses centripetal force to generate power, and uses nearly constant circular movement to create angles between the combatants.

Water Tribe's, led by the chief, Sokka and Katara's dad.
Earth Kingdom, Led by the Earth King.
Air Nomads, Led by the avatar himself, Aang.
RULES-

Accepted, lets start.
~Iroh~ (Yes, my name is same name as Zuko's uncle XD)
"HYUH!" I yelled as I launched my rock glove at a target, making a big hole in it. I used my earth bending and pulled it back on my hand. I then did earth moves on targets, like making a big cylinder, diagonal rock thing and hit the targets. "HYUAH!!!" I yelled as I made the earth stand up underneath targets, making them get destroyed. I did earth moves while doing the dragon dance. (Dragon dance was featured in teh episode, "The sun tribe" in book 3, fire.) |

(All right, healing water.)
I sat down beside a river, practising my waterbending. I suddenly spotted a fish, and created a stream of water, freezing it, and using it as an ice spear at the fish. It caught it in the very middle and it was stuck down at the bottom of the river. "I hate having to get it off the bottom.." I said to myself, and continued sitting beside the river, making bubbles of water come up to the top. |

Arch:
I was up in a tree, holding a small bird. I smiled, taking a finger and petting it. Chirping, a couple more flew down and landed on the benches next to me. |
