#the avatars

[clover-charlie]

i think it's funny that when aang is going through the past avatars for advice on what to do for ozai the only one who really is just like "kill the bitch", is the other air nomad.

[your-fav-is-plural]

Aang and Korra being Pregenic :D (and i guess all of the other avatars too but that's a lot to do so. u dont gotta do all them)

Aang, Korra, and Every Other Avatar from Avatar; The Last Air Bender and Legend of Korra is Pregenic!

A Pregenic system is one where many, all, or individual members came from a past life

Schadenfreude (the metamorphosis of the sinners)

Since it could remember, “the end” always enjoyed handing out judgment to the sinners that selfishly tried to become like them while denying the satisfaction and release that was their birthright (death) that they selfishly feared causing it to be born and not have the right to die like those selfish ingrates. It began to reminisce on some of it’s favorite judgments.

It took a great enjoyment out of its judgments on the “Grim Reapers”. Selfish souls who tried to escape their salvation for the selfish want to continue to existing who were punished by becoming the very thing they sought to evade and becoming punishers themselves to other selfish souls. If they were to live forever, they would have to live forever in the same agony it was in because of them and help it bring salvation that they denied. As much as it hated them, it was also grateful for their work and service and gave some of them like that soldier the chance to return back to how things were, but of course punishment is still punishment and it made sure that the soldier or any of the freed souls would never forget what they had done.

It’s judgment of Oliver Banks was interesting. It and Oliver always had such a turbulent relationship. It held some resentment for him due to he rejecting his role as a fellow punisher and savior of his kind and trying to run from his destiny (even tried to deny what was inevitable in some cases) while Oliver held resentment towards it for “ruining” his life and for destroying his ability to rest (it was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine). So when they met again, it understandably lashed out against the selfish man. But luckily after it was done scolding and punishing Oliver, the selfish man seemed to have a change of heart (he finally realized he cannot outrun his destiny) and willingly allowed himself to become what he was always destined to be.

Another favorite judgment was one of Oliver‘s lover. It enjoyed scolding and helping punish him with its kin for selfishly trying to deny and prolong his death with the help of a watcher. For this crime, it decided to punish him in the most fitting way it could. When its kin was stealing himself, it had stolen parts of himself as well. What more fitting fate for a man who used a watcher to avoid the inevitable and who fear death to experience total death, erasing him with the image of another and then appearing to his lover as him to replace him in his mind. It was truly the perfect karma and it enjoyed taunting the foolish and selfish lover with his face saying that it would enjoy replacing him in his lover’s life and how it would take great care of him as it left him faceless and formless in eternal darkness.

it’s judgment of the yellow rose and the purple rose was certainly interesting. Primarily because they were both so different yet so similar in how they behave during their judgment. Both sinful roses fear the inevitable punishment of their actions and did not want to fuse with the embodiment of lies (funny, considering how they were both liars) and both of them to their last moments drowned themselves in the lies that would eventually consume them, believing themselves have a noble purpose in fusing with the embodiment of lies and pretending not to know the real reason (as liars always do). Whether that be to “save the world” or save a “friend” didn’t matter, after all they were just lies to comfort themselves of what was going to happen to them. A notable difference was how they suddenly behaved during their “deaths”, the yellow rose pretended to be a martyr while secretly trying to fight becoming one with the thing that embodied how he lived his life (pretended to be naïve about what was really going on behind the surface to maintain his selfish ignorance and love for the woman he loved like what humans like to call a “mother”) the purple rose on the other hand, didn’t pretend to be a martyr. She knew what she had done could never truly be forgiven but despite that she wanted selfish comfort from the one man that believed the lying purple rose. She hesitated, but mostly willingly accepted her role (once a liar, always a liar).

Another favorite judgments included the judgments of the organist and the man who “discovered” one of its kin that would feed off the fear of the doom of everything created by his own kind. It found these judgments to be interesting because of how both men tried to pretend to be martyrs and pretending not to fear the inevitable end that they avoided for so long. They both “died” thinking that what they had done would perhaps save their kind from it and its kin despite knowing the truth that what they have done to save their foolish and selfish kin would only last so long and would eventually fail. Their kind has a saying that in death it’s hard to distinguish between person and person. And that was true with the two men. How would one know which one was a villain or hero if they were to simply look at nothing but bones? It’s favorite part of the judgment was seeing the organist become just like his victims who were denied the salvation of death by him.

Speaking of the victims, another favorite judgment of it was that of the clown that would later become the dancer for the organist and his fellow’s “Utopia”. It always enjoyed watching selfish ingrates like him get their just punishment for denying what they took from it. It enjoyed watching the old clown terrified and scared of what was going to happen to him because of his own actions and it also enjoyed ripping out his lying tongue as well (it always had fun mutilating and ruining them the same way they had mutilated and ruined it with their selfish fear) and felt such joy knowing he would be trapped in a hell of his own making.

It stopped reminiscing on old judgments and began to focus on the new one that was about to begin when it felt him in itself. It knew that this particular judgment would be fun as the one to be judged was none other than the so-called “Archivist” who fed its kin that fed off of the fear of being known and being seen and the most foolish of the sinners, trying to make sense of things they could never truly understand and tried to place it and its kin into tiny little boxes they could put on their little checkboards in their brains. It began to prepare itself for perhaps the most interesting judgment it has ever done.

-.-

waava week (2024) // day 1 · memorial / temporary

 -.-

Time between awakenings is a tedious process. Humans are so slow to grow, slower to learn and discover, to know who they are meant to be. Raava takes this time to rest and reflect, sewing the threads between lives with fibers of light strong enough to last a thousand years. She sees their lives on display, a multitude of memories tinted in blue and white ether – from their first crying breath into the world to the moment all the elements finally bend to their will, and everything between and beyond that.

Every moment until their last – when the cycle begins anew.

CHARACTER PROFILE:

ABDIEL SALLES

"It's worse the greater the distance. Probably because of the distance. You're crossing a lot of space very, very quickly." "... instantly." "Exactly." -Abdiel, in an exchange about his teleportation's recoil

The biological son of the Existence of Order and an unknown chaos-aligned entity, Abdiel is something of a walking contradiction--and he's well-aware of that fact.

Although he knows his father's identity, Abdiel has never met him. Instead, he was raised by Order as a solo parent... to be her avatar, a living weapon. He holds a lot of anger about that, and over three hundred years ago, it led to an incident that resulted in Abdiel in solitary confinement for over a decade.

Something that he's yet to have fully recovered from to this day.

Beyond being known as one of Order's most competent avatars, Abdiel is also known as one of the few surviving members of "the First Generation" of avatars. Although he was born toward the end of "the early days", he's extremely familiar--and sometimes even friendly--with each of the other First Generation avatars... whether from being locked into combat with them on hours on end, or having sat down and drank the night away at their side.

Or both.

On top of his familiarity with avatars outside the family, Abdiel is close friends with two of Order's other avatars: Victor and Zophiel, his half-brother and sister... of about the same age. He was teamed up with them when they were young, as they helped account for each others' weaknesses while still training up for the Existential War.

Abdiel has been forced to work almost exclusively as a "solo avatar" (without a team) for almost two centuries (as of RFtA/SaS). However, he's been in near-constant contact with at least one of his family members (especially fellow chaos-aligned), as Order has made him train his relatives due to his exceptional skills.

Name: Abdiel Salles (ab-dee-ehl sigh-yays)

Age: Appears to be in his early-to-mid twenties, but is agelessly immortal. During RFtA and SaS, he's ~500 years old.

Species: "Human" (chaos elemental) Unlike most elementals, as an abstract elemental, Abdiel cannot transform himself into another material. However, he regains essence more quickly in chaotic areas and more slowly in orderly ones.

Gender identity: Male (he/him)

Sexuality: Straight

Raw magic: (???) telepathy, (???) teleportation, (???) reality warping

Applied magic: Extremely competent with each of his three magics, but is most well-renowned for his reality warping abilities.

Abdiel is capable of warping his surroundings into whatever he wants--he can turn water into stone, stone into wood, transform a block into a living person, make someone suddenly have four hands instead of two hands and feet each, create something out of nothing, "heal" injuries--et cetera. Just about anything he can think of. And he can choose whether to make his changes temporary or permanent. The only difference to him is how much essence (magic energy) it costs.

Despite the overwhelming power of reality warping, there are limits--and they boil down to "it's exhausting". It takes an incredible amount of essence to warp reality, and even more so the more "real" things are. So--

In combat, Abdiel is able to create localized faespots--or portals into the Faewildes--where he can then control reality around him with increasing ease the deeper he goes. By drawing his opponents into the Faewildes, Abdiel is able to circumvent the massive essence drain and completely turn the very environment against his opponent... no matter who, what, when, or where they are. He'll find a way.

Even if it takes him a while. He'll do it.

Although it's also achievable with reality warping, Abdiel is capable of teleportation--a chaos ability that allows him to teleport himself, other people, and/or other physical entities as he pleases. It takes significantly less essence to teleport than to warp, so he'll often choose to teleport instead.

Abdiel teleports in combat both to quickly close distance and to confuse the opponent... but it has drawbacks. Teleportation is disorienting--causing a jerking sensation and suddenly landing you in a new environment--as well as an extremely complex art that requires more concentration than warping. Because of this, in moments of stress, he tends to warp himself, the area, or others around him.

Lastly, Abdiel is Order's most adept telepath. His mental shield is one of the best in Existence--rivaling if not outright surpassing those of many gods--and he's learned to reverse-engineer them to break into others' minds.

"Break into"... and slip into.

He can find his way through mental shields without destroying it, so the "owner" won't even know he's there. And so we get into what telepaths are capable of.

The mind contains a lot. Your thoughts, your feelings. Your sense of sight. Your sense of self. You.

A telepath can make "suggestions" while in your mind, pushing your thoughts and feelings in one direction or another, or straight-up force things upon you. They can change what you see, what you hear, everything around you. Or, they can... in your mind.

Or, yknow, they can just spy on you and learn crucial information!

That's gotta be everything they're capable of, right?

Right?

Abdiel is an extremely competent telepath, able to easily break--and slip--into people's minds for whatever purpose he may have for them. In his younger years, he used this skill to quickly pick up languages. Now, he uses it as a backup plan to sabotage opponents in fights... and learn who he can and can't trust.

Thanks to his near-constant magic use (of one kind or another), Abdiel has a massive pool of essence that grants him incredible magical stamina. Altogether, everything leads to--

Tier ranking: High A (secretly S)

Although he actually knows how to use his magic in a way that would immediately earn him an S classification--and knows he could if he revealed it--Abdiel is hiding what he's capable of for the sake of the rest of his family... and to not give Order more power than she already has.

Weapon of choice: His magic; fisticuffs

General appearance: A tall (6'3 / 190cm), pale-skinned man covered in freckles and scars. Usually has a mess of short, wavy white hair and stubble, as he doesn't bother to take care of himself. Abdiel is extremely muscular, has a long face, soft facial features, and "strikingly" bright blue eyes.

He's collected many scars over his centuries fighting in the Existential War, but he as a handful of large, sunken scars on his arms and legs that caused him to get sleeve tattoos of flowers.

Personality: Fittingly--considering his chaos and order heritage--is a flawed man built upon contradictions.

Abdiel is blunt, somewhat dense, and socially awkward, but accommodates for it by putting on a grand persona. He has a loud, booming voice, often makes excessively grand gestures, often tells stories of his 'grand times' as an avatar, and will use his magic to enhance his stories or indicate to things he's talking about.

He is ordinarily an extremely large presence--seemingly trying to make sure people know he's there--but when Abdiel is trying to hide?

It's near impossible to find him.

And he's almost certainly a closeted autistic because, y'know, why WOULDN'T I have accidentally made another autistic character?

Abdiel self-describes himself as an "asshole" and is an extremely angry person. He's bottled up centuries' worth of rage at Order for the situation she's put their family through--both as avatars and a mother--and externalizes it through bitterness and a dark sense of humor.

He tends to act extremely cocky and arrogant, but Abdiel is secretly deeply insecure. He has a deep fear of isolation due to his decade of solitary confinement--and other, shorter stints since--and constantly seeks out people to keep him company.

Despite his many flaws, Abdiel is a genuine, well-meaning, and loyal individual who tries his best to look out for the people he cares about--and most of them just so happen to be either his family or fellow avatars.

And, despite his loud personality, Abdiel is watchful, cautious, introspective, and thoughtful--he's spent a long time observing the people and situations surrounding himself to try to better navigate the world... and survive the Existential War.

This collection of traits has allowed Abdiel to figure out a lot of magical advancements in the chaos field, and he's used this knowledge--and applicable cross-studies--to teach his fellow Order avatars how to survive alongside him.

Any single wish: For his family to be freed from Order

Greatest fear(s): Isolation, immobility, and pitch-black darkness; all tied just barely above Order

CHARACTER QUOTES:

"Do you have enough essence to heal yourself?" "... mostly." (grins darkly) "Good." "... what's good: that I don't have enough, or that I can get mostly there?" (smirks) "You pick. Sound no different to me." scoffs and rolls his eyes "Remind me to never piss you off again." (still smirking, dryly) "I don't think I'm going to have to." (scoffs again... but doesn't argue.)

(chuckles bitterly) "Freedom? That doesn't exist. Not for us, at least. Stop fooling yourself--it'll be easier once you accept it."

"Those pesky, pesky other avatars, daring to fight for their own gods, am I right? What a fucking horror." (sarcastically) "Yeah... they should all just fall over and die, make way for their rightful ruler..." (grinning darkly) "Wouldn't that just be fantastic? Then we could all be one big, happy family."

"Where did you get these scars?" "Oh, ha... broken bones. Broke clean through the skin. Now 'good as new'." (bitterly) "That's what you get when you have a goddess of Life for a mother. Though... I guess Victor could've healed them, too..."

(casually flips the bird)

"Men like us don't change, Zenebe--not that quickly. You know that."

(upon hearing very good news, dryly:) "I'd thought I'd already heard the most unrealistic lies possible. Apparently, I was wrong."

(to his friend, who he just found out to be harboring feelings for and "friends with benefits" with his son:) "Here's how we're going to proceed." (points accusingly at them) "You are going to go to {my son} and tell him how you feel." (drops his point, but still glaring as he towers above them) "You are going to find out exactly how he feels about you--which, obviously, he loves you, or he wouldn't have slept with you--and then--" (pointing again) "--you are going to find me, tell me how it went, bow down at my feet, and kiss my shoes, begging for my forgiveness."
