(Y/N) is a young Earthbender and orphan who lives in Gaoling. He was dumped by his parents when he was a baby, and he was taken in by a kind old woman who ran an orphanage. He learned to use his bending to help her with the chores, and to protect himself and the other orphans from the bullies and bandits who roamed the streets. He had heard of the Avatar and his friends, who were fighting to end the hundred-year war and thought very highly of them and how cool it would be to join them on their journey. Earthbending came very Naturally to Y/n, and he soon discovered something both good and terrifying about his bending ability.
Luckily for him, the avatar and his friends were coming to town; and the word was that the avatar needed an earthbending teacher; he knew just the right person for the job.

Koji is a Firebender and a soon-to-be lightning bender, born into the royal family of the Fire Nation. He grew up with his cousins Zuko and Azula, and their friends Ty Lee and Mai, but he always felt different from them. His father is General Iroh, the Dragon of the West.
Fast forward to when Azula is sent on a mission to capture the Avatar and bring back Zuko and Iroh, she asks Koji to join her. Koji reluctantly agrees, knowing his father; but being the former heir to the throne, he longed to prove himself to his nation.
However, as he travels with Azula and her team, he begins to question his loyalty and his destiny. He sees the suffering and injustice caused by the Fire Nation, and he meets people who challenge his beliefs and values, everything he was taught growing up.
Will Koji follow Azula and the Fire Lord, or will he choose a different path? Will he find his true self, or will he lose everything he cares about?
