Facts You Might/ Not Know About The Avatar Series by Mackie1(m): 10:33am On Dec 25, 2014 |
"The Avatar must be compassionate towards all people, and the only way to do that is to live with them. The Avatar must experience sadness, anger, joy, and happiness. By feeling all these emotions, it helps you understand how precious human life is, so you will do anything to protect it. " Avatar Yangchen to Avatar Aang ... Avatar Nationality Korra Southern Water Tribe Aang Southern Air Temple Roku Fire Nation Kyoshi Earth Kingdom Kuruk Northern Water Tribe Yangchen Western Air Temple The Avatar , formed initially when Wan permanently fused with Raava during the Harmonic Convergence of 9,829 BG, is the human embodiment of light and peace through the connection with the Avatar Spirit. As the only physical being with the ability to bend all four elements, it is considered the Avatar's duty to master the four bending arts and use that power to keep balance among the four nations of the world, as well as between mankind and spirits. Upon death, the Avatar Spirit causes the Avatar to reincarnate into the next nation, dictated by the cyclic order: fire, air, water, and earth. Mirroring the order in which the first Avatar, Wan, learned the elements, this is also the traditional order in which any one incarnation is to master the elements, beginning with the bending art of the Avatar's birth nation. The reincarnation cycle can only be broken if the Avatar is killed while in the Avatar State, Raava is removed from the Avatar and destroyed, or the Avatar Spirit is compromised by a spiritual infection. Each nation has a method of recognizing the new Avatar. Among the Air Nomads , this involved presenting infants with a selection of toys and watching for a child that selected the exact four that had belonged to past Avatars, called the Avatar relics . Traditionally, the child is told of his identity as the Avatar on his sixteenth birthday. However, Avatar Aang was told at age twelve, in fear of a war starting due to the Fire Nation's growing aggression, [6] and Korra was discovered as the Avatar when she was just four years old: she exhibited bending abilities beyond her native waterbending without formal training. When an Avatar dies, the next Avatar will be born into the next nation in the Avatar Cycle. For example, Avatar Yangchen, an Air Nomad, was reincarnated as Avatar Kuruk from the Northern Water Tribe, followed by Avatar Kyoshi from the Earth Kingdom , and Avatar Roku from the Fire Nation. more to follow |

The Avatar is capable of bending more than one element simultaneously. Avatar Aang first demonstrated this ability while stranded in the desert, when he bent water from a cloud into Katara's water pouch while flying with airbending at the same time, and again in Ba Sing Se when he used his earthbending to recreate a zoo while traveling on the air scooter made by his airbending. During his battle with Ozai, Aang used all four elements while in the Avatar State to make himself nearly invincible and used the elements in a highly destructive barrage of attacks. He first used his airbending to create a spherical shield around himself, before utilizing the other bending arts to surround himself with elemental rings of rotating flames, rocks, and water. The compression of the elements provided Aang with materials for bending all four elements without sacrificing too much agility and speed, thus making this an extremely dangerous attack both defensively and offensively Avatar State " The Avatar State is a defense mechanism, designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars. The glow is the combination of all your past lives, focusing their energy through your body. In the Avatar State, you are at your most powerful, but you are also at your most vulnerable. If you are killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle will be broken and the Avatar will cease to exist. " At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, the creators described Korra's lost connection to her past lives as "rebooting your hard drive". [45] While pursuing information in Wan Shi Tong's Library, Katara discovered that one of the Avatar's past lives had been left-handed.[46] The term "Avatar" comes from the Sanskrit word avatāraḥ (अवतारः), which means "descent". In Hinduism, Vishnu manifests himself as an avatar to restore balance on earth, during a period of unbalance. more coming |

Aang became a fully realized Avatar at the youngest biologically and oldest chronologically known age. Aang went into the "continuous" Avatar State nine times during the course of the first series, but only once into the "non-continuous" State. Aang entered the "continuous" Avatar State once in The Promise and twice "non- continuously" in The Legend of Korra. The biological parents of the known Avatars before Avatar Korra were never seen or mentioned, with the exception of a shadowed glimpse of Aang's mother at his birth. Both Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra were taught by descendants of the previous Avatar. In Aang's case, Zuko (Roku's great-grandson) taught him firebending; in Korra's case, Tenzin (Aang's son) taught her airbending. When Aang went into the Avatar State at the Southern Air Temple, Avatar statues across the world lit up, signaling the return of the Avatar. It is unclear what triggers this phenomenon, seeing as Aang had been in the Avatar State for a hundred years and the statues did not light. The only Avatars mentioned to have descendants were Aang, Kyoshi, and Roku. Kyoshi had a daughter, Koko, with an unknown husband; Roku had children with Ta Min , of whom Ursa is a descendant (thus making Zuko and Azula descendants as well); and Aang had Bumi , Kya, and Tenzin with Katara. Korra was the youngest known Avatar to have learned her status; most Avatars are not told until they are sixteen, but Korra discovered her ability to control several elements by the age of four. [7] The only other known exception was Aang, who was told at age twelve. Avatars Aang and Korra are the only known Avatars to have achieved full realization without having full mastery of every element; Aang at the time showed room for improvement in earthbending and firebending, as evidenced by comments from Zuko and Toph, his firebending and earthbending teachers respectively; and Korra mastered three of the bending arts but achieved realization shortly after having unlocked her ability to airbend for the first time. Besides descendants in the cases of Kyoshi, Roku, and Aang, and parents in Korra's case, the only other family members of an Avatar to be shown in eith |
