I have made a new Avatar (James Cameron Au). The AU storyline is set up at the same time as the original. In this AU instead of just the RDA discovering Pandora another program called the JSP (Japanese space program) has discovered it at the same time. The RDA landed on the eastern side of Pandora while the JSP landed on the western frontier. The RDA does what the RDA does in Canon but in this AU the JSP actually works to establish human colonies on Pandora so all humans that wish to leave earth for the chance to have a better life on a planet tht isn't dying can. The JSP seeks to trade information medicine and build structures that can support human life but not kill Pandora. The JSP developed an implant that is put directly into the lungs. The implant then directly coats the lungs in a think membrane that converts Pandora's poisonous air into breathable oxygen. They have also been able to slowly acclimate to Pandora's food.
Most of the JSP are farmers, doctors, architects, cooks, scientists, pilots, and none threatening jobs. Though there are JSP soldiers. These soldiers are highly trained to protect both the JSP and the na'vi of the western frontier from the RDA. there are strict borders between the RDA and JSP territories. Both sides tend to be very hostile towards each other. Due to this it is not unheard of for either side to lose people in territorial disputes.
When talking about avatars there is a key difference between RDA and JSP avatars. Japanese avatars tend to look almost identical to true Na'vi. Their kuru sit higher on the skull, their eyes are in between the RDA avatar and true Na'vi. The Japanese avatar is made up of about 85% Na'vi DNA and only 15% of human. This results in them often carrying the gene for 5 fingers but only having 4 themselves. Another key feature is that all Japanese avatar have a barcode tattooed on their nape to identify JSP avatar more easily. Anyone who wishes to have an avatar of their own can go through a work program that allows them to pay off the cost of their avatar by doing a little extra work.
The Na'vi on the western frontier actually have a great relationship with the JSP many Na'vi visit human farms, gardens, living spaces, and other things of the like. Many JSP have Na'vi friends, family, and partners. Human colonies tend to be sized so their Na'vi friends and avatars can move around more easily in the facilities. Communal tools, clothing, and cooking ingredients are common on Colonies but aren't the norm on smaller bases so it's best the check first.
I haven't gotten much else done for the AU so far.
