The Sleepy Spirits :)

Okay, I think we do know who my favorite is after all... I gotta say I'm really happy with how this came out. The last session of Avatar DND is this Sunday, and I'm gonna miss badass characters like this a lot.

Avatar DND Masterpost

-------

Name: Maika (Japanese, 舞 "dance, flit, circle, wheel" / 花 flower; alt Mycah, Hebrew "who is like god")

Age: 30

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (leaning, at times, into Chaotic Evil)

Highest stat: Wisdom

Bending: Air (primary), Water (including blood and spiritbending), Earth, Fire

Theme: Finale: Apex & bad apple!!

Played by: Z, the DM

Background: Last but not least, we have Avatar Maika. Once a confident, somewhat spontaneous young airbender, she trained at the Southern Air Temple as a teenager before growing disillusioned with the elders' teachings of detachment and leaving to learn the four elements on her own. She put together her own team of bending companions, who she learned from instead. When she met Juno, their goals and morality overlapped, and so she was quickly folded into the team as well (although Maika, at the time, assumed Juno was a nonbender). Team Avatar then traveled the world, solving problems in a (usually) nonviolent manner.

Then, the day came that they were to confront Dai Lee, who was trying to free the world of corrupt governments by simply taking over himself. Juno had just revealed herself as a mindbender, which sowed distrust among the team. As it would turn out, Dai Lee already had extensive intel on every member of Team Avatar--all their interpersonal conflicts, insecurities, and secrets--which he then used to turn them all against each other with murderous intent. This is not something most mindbenders are able to do. Nonetheless, Maika was forced to watch her teammates tear each other apart, and was then taken captive by Dai Lee while Juno was able to escape.

During the month Maika was captive, Dai Lee mindbent her almost continuously, trying to break her will. He also had her brainwashed with a sleeper phrase that, when activated, would supposedly make her obedient to him and allow him to execute his plan without her interference. Fortunately, Ephemeris, the spiritbender tasked with keeping Maika from entering the Avatar State, began to doubt Dai Lee's methods and found a way to contact Juno. Together, they hatched a plan to free Maika under the cover of a Fire Nation attack on Dai Lee's headquarters. They were successful, but the Avatar would never be the same. Though her spirit was never broken, her faith in humanity was.

As Juno and Maika returned to old villages where they had once resolved conflicts, they began to discover that those same conflicts had resurfaced, often in a worse state than they had originally found them. Maika, feeling that her fallen teammates' efforts had been in vain, gradually began to resort to more violent methods and "permanent solutions." After some time, she and Juno split ways over this. Maika sought out new masters, namely Xin Li and Laminar, who taught her more brutal and cruel bending techniques (unbeknownst to her, these masters were also allies of Dai Lee who had been asked to encourage this behavior in her).

At some point, she willingly entered a contract with the blood spirit Panggu, convinced she needed the extra power to truly scare the world's worst out of their evil ways. When Juno eventually caught wind of Maika's new methods of brutality, she tracked the Avatar obsessively until one day she found her (under Panggu's influence) surrounded by dead children as she attacked a school for some unknown reason. Shocked by this scene, Juno could not put off the inevitable confrontation any longer, and attempted to take Maika's bending. However, Maika, for all she'd been through, still possessed an iron will, and her spirit was unbendable, and so Juno's energybending failed.

Juno went back into hiding, but the incident served as a wake-up call for Maika. When she was alone again, she bled herself nearly to death bloodbending and spiritbending herself until she was able to forcibly remove the spirit that was tied to her blood.

Motivations: Though Maika still travels the world undercover "solving" issues of crime and corruption, she is obsessed with finding Juno and exacting revenge for her trying to take her bending. When the party accidentally disclosed that Juno was at the Central Air Temple, Maika wasted no time in flying there and tearing through both the temple and the volcano it was built on looking for her. This resulted in the dormant volcano erupting and killing most of the inhabitants of the temple. Juno survived and was able to escape with the party's help, but not without a second encounter in which Maika immobilized and would have killed her, if not for Chai Li managing to induce doubt in her at the last second. Though Maika has begun to show some remorse about trying to kill Juno, she has yet to show any about the swaths of casualties that seem to follow her wherever she goes.

"Who are you"

a comic a long time coming showing one of my favorite scenes from my ATLA game. My character is the airbender, Sora. Seraphine belongs to my friend Sarina, she's the one in the grey. Seraphine's cousin, Asira, is an NPC and arc-villain.

This is only one half of this conversation! After Seraphine left, Sora had a chance to interact with Asira one on one and their conversation was even more dramatic, but this is a nice stopping half-way point to post what I've finished so far.

Oof! Sorry for the hiatus guys! Work has started back up and I’ve been working on this beast of a project! I’m still pretty new to painting but I’m super proud of how these turned out! I used celebrity references for each person and while the likeness isn’t really there, these pics are still more realistic than anything else I’ve done! These are the last 4 avatars from my atla dnd game
