Same as Yoshino; posting a history for Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender, for use in RP.
Aang is the latest incarnation of the Avatar, a being that has been reincarnated constantly throughout the centuries that has the ability to "bend", or manipulate four cardinal elements: water, air, fire, and wind. As part of the cycle, the Avatar is born into one of four nations - either the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, or the Air Nomads. Aang was born into the Air Nomads after the death of the previous Avatar, Avatar Roku. However, when he found out the monks who were raising him were planning on sending him away from his father figure, Monk Gyatso, and was caught in a storm with his flying bison, Appa. When the two of them nearly drowned, Aang's Avatar State sealed him them both in ice, where they remained in suspended animation for many years. While Aang slept in the iceberg, the Fire Nation began a war against the rest of the world, and the Air Nomads were all exterminated, making Aang the last of their people.
Aang was later freed from the iceberg by two members of the water tribe, Katara and her brother, Sokka. Aang was then discovered by the disgraced prince Zuko, who was searching for the latest incarnation of the avatar in order to restore his honor. Deciding to leave the Southern Water Tribe, Aang and his new friends began venturing across the world to find a waterbending instructor, while being hounded by Zuko all along the way. Eventually, they discovered that the Fire Lord, Zuko's father, intended to use the power of a supernatural comet to enhance his Firebending and finish what his grandfather began. After defeating the Fire Nation General Zhao and learning all he could from a Norther Water Tribe bender named Pakku, Aang next set out across the Earth Kingdom.
At this time, they were targeted by Zuko's sister, Azula, who also began chasing Zuko. This eventually led them to Ba Sing Sei, which all three groups individually entered and/or infiltrated. Inside, Azula managed to forge an aliance in Long Feng, the leader of the city's secret police, and overthrew the Earth King. Aang was also fatally wounded, and would have died if not for Katara healing him with water from a sacred spring. For the remaining time, Aang and his group attempted to enter the fire nation and use a solar eclipse (which would have removed the Firebenders' ability to bend) as a chance to defeat them... only for their plan to be defeated by Azula, who had learned it in Ba Sing Sei. After this, they joined up with Zuko, making peace with him and Aang learning how to firebend from him. However, the day of the final battle soon came upon them... and Aang, unsure of his ability to kill the Fire Lord should he have to, learned of an ability to cancel out people's ability to bend from the legendary Lionturtle. He faced Ozai alone, and removed his abilities, as his other friends successfully joined efforts to end the war.
After peace was declared, Zuko and Aang were united as friends. And Aang, who had fallen in love with Katara, finally had a chance to enter in a relationship with her.
