Hmm, after watching some AMVs lately about A:TLA, I have been bothered with a minor plot bunny. I do not know if this idea have been done before or if it sucks, as my knowledge with the universe is very weak. But here it is anyway:
Ahem. The air nomads said that their young air-bender Aang, who had been chosen as the Avatar, was destined for greatness. Both because of being the Avatar and being a powerful prodigy in Air-bending.
But their praise to him led to the young boy gaining a terrifying insane and bloated ego, which led to him considering his gifts and powers as divine, and completely earned, meaning that he sought the path to godhood.
Naturally this led to conflicts between Aang and the Air nomads, who tried to stop him, but in his lunatic mind he saw them as insults of his grandness and began a brutal genocide of his brethren.
But in the final moments of the civil war, right after Aang made a insane declaration of immortality and invinciblity, the final Air Bender master managed to wound the self-proclaimed god, and gave some final words that Aang could never be considered a divine being as a mortal had managed to injure him. This led to Aang being driven even further into insanity, slaughtering his final kin and setting off into the sky and over the ocean, to train himself into true godhood. And he was never seen again for over 100 years, hidden inside a hurricane thundering over the ocean, which he had created himself.
That is the prologue. When the story starts after 100 years of the eradication of the Air Nomads, the rest of the nations is at their war, aiming for dominace. But a small fleet of Water Benders, led by the prodigy Katara, on their journey to plunder some villages in Fire Nation, notice a enormous storm coming towards them in a unnatural speed. They try to avoid it but the storm wrecks their ships as it hurries towards the powerful Fire Nation, which is the start of Aang's invasion of the pitiful mortals, a holy crusade to convert all mortals into his followers. Thus begins the war against the mighty Air bender and Avatar Aang, who can control the weather at will, as the other nations will do their best in order to defend themselves against this terrifying foe. Perhaps they might even put their own hatred against eachothers and band together to wear the storm out?
That is the basic plot. Aang becomes crazy through delusions in his youth, decides to become a god, which according to him fits his status perfectly, and in order to be a god he needs worshipers, which he will forcefully convert into his new religion, as we follow the war between him and the rest of the world.
Pairings are unlikely, but possible.
Aang will be over 100 years old, but he is still very much alive thanks to his willpower, though his age is catching up on him physically.
Aang will be able to control the weather due to the many years of training. Meaning he can create hurricanes, tornados, change and control air pressure, and create vacuums. And of course the ability to fly and make other things levitate. A very powerful, dangerous and formidable foe indeed.
Aang, and quite possible a lot of characters would be OOC when compared to canon. Which means a Lunatic!Warmongering!Aang.
Now then: how can this plotbunny be made into something good/interesting/original? I have after all very limited knowledge of the fandom. :sweat2:
