If you could bend any element like in Avatar the Last Airbender/LoK, which element would you want to bend?

Fire.
I could also make lots of neat jokes with such an ability.

If I pick iron (Fe), would I be able to bend iron alloys like steel too? Is there a limit on the thickness that I can bend? Being able to bend thick steel rods with my bare hands would be kinda cool.

Water seems hella OP so long as you avoid deserts and blood bending is fecking terrifying.

I'm at a toss up for fire or water. Air is cool because you can fly and pull a Shang Tsung where you can collapse people's lungs.. But interestingly enough you can do the same things and mimick other bending with other styles.

For example, mental bending and shooting pieces of metal like bullets. You can do the same with air. Flying; you can do that with fire. Ect. Ect.

If I wanted to 'pop' someone's lungs I could use bloodbending or just shoot all of my water down their throat and see which path it takes. A blown up pair of lungs or a blownup stomach makes no difference. Personally, both the healing aspects, ice bending, overall abundance of liquid, and blood bending would make me want to become a water bender.

>>717
You have to pick one. Unless you shave your head bald and turn into a 12 year old boy, you aren't the avatar. Though if it makes it any more fun, like with blood bending, there are hybrid/special techniques allowed such as sandbending.

>>716
Picking a metal would mean that you picked the Earth Bending branch of bender. As for alloys, yes, you probably could because it is a metal. The thickness and ease of how you manipulate metal would depend on how powerful of a bender you are. Earth benders have the easiest time using the martial arts technique: gun. They can launch metal balls super fast.

Insta-shelters, insta-landclearing, always around, and given what Earth Benders do in the desert seems to be able to solidify land too to make great construction materials.
Oh, and the earth bending rail cars. So you can use it for transport, too.

Outside of stone, I'm not sure if metal bending would be as 'insta' as people would think it would be. Maybe with bending dirt and rock, but metal might take more work. It is an advanced form of bending as they explain it. I haven't seen Korra, but I'm not so sure that even a very powerful earth bender is going to be turning the metal into different states of matter like Magneto from Xmen or something. From what I've seen it's like crude beating; almost similar to how a black smith would work; and to construct a building they would still need of course an architect and the means to keep that structure stable. Which earth and rock I imagine its more like mushing putty together at times. (King Boomie was able to basically earth-glide and swim through the ground.) Yeah, I mean if you wanna live out a minecraft murder-hobo godless, tax-voiding, long haired hippy, then earth bending would be the best for that.

A fire bender could build shelter out of metal through smelting, or just by being a good carpenter by trade. Fire is also for a number of reasons; and fire can actually heal and is used to fight off disease. They have access to something priceless: electricity. Imagine never going a day in your life without your phone out of power.

Water is also great in the sense that you can filter your water, freeze things, and 'create' water through moisture or draw it from the ground, and it's an excellent

All I was talking about was just the Earth aspect, no metal involved. Though metal bending did evolve some in Kora, I prefer Toph's 'pound it into shape' approach.
Keeps some of the more practical metalurgy in tact, leaving the 'normals' something still to do. Don't like how Kora kind of went full Bender superiority.

>if you wanna live out a minecraft murder-hobo godless, tax-voiding, long haired hippy, then earth bending would be the best for that.
Yes

Metal bending is a form of earth bending. I probably should have mentioned that while you aren't the avatar in this situation, you are considered a master of bending.

>Korra
It did evolve some in Korra from the clips I watched with my family, but it wasn't like the enemy from the Terminator or anything.

>Don't like how Kora kind of went full Bender superiority.
I really liked how it showed that non benders had an almost innate knack for innovation. Also it was implied the only people who could block chi were non benders. Unless I'm mistaken.
>exactly
Typical closet elf lover mentality. Let's paint being an elf with sand and mud and mask being a hippy with good old fashion Earf bendin, earful nation values! What's next? You're going to go on 4chan and complain about how you hate dwarves and sand elves in one thread but then gush about how your tribal women got CURSED or MINED?

If it's master-tier, I'm definitely going with Earth. Lets you do some stupid stuff on the Boomie tier. And most of those have actual utility, beyond combat.

The other branches have plenty of utility. I feel like most just don't have imagination. Even fire benders can fly.
>combat
Water and air are much deadlier in most circumstances.

Which is saying a lot from me, because I love fire bending and earth bending.

It's hard to beat the utility of structures and transport whenever desired.
Especially when you've access 24/7 to it.

Basic earth bending is the mystical and magical setting of sleeping in a box if you mean insta housing with rocks and mud.
>Especially when you've access 24/7 to it.

Ahahaha. Don't get rude with me. You don't know what housing conditions or lack of that I've had, or what I currently have for that matter.

Ohhhh. I thought you were talking about shelter. I don't like when people talk about privilege and stuff that doesnt apply to me. It just sounded shady and insulting on first read. Misunderstanding.

Also the world is actually covered in more water than earth. A powerful water bender can steal the direct H20 molecules from people, the ground, or animals for a source of water.

If I was a good enough blood bender I could instantly freeze every water molecule in your body and kill you in an instant

I think we should separate each pro into PVE (basic living) and combat (pvp).

Oh, actually there is a bioelectrical current that runs through the human body. They could stop that current and kill a person that way.

Although I'm a fan/proponent of using all elements as elementals, then I choose aether (although I don't remember it very well) to use all of them (trick bro).
And yes I'm not the avatar, but neither are you.
And why didn't you/do you make an rpg in /rp/ based on atla/lok?

I mean I could run something along those lines, assuming there is enough interest. Not to mention if we were to do rolls, I would have to take a system and then write rules for each bending class. That said it is do-able.

I was planning on making a thread or two on /rp/ as it was.
