So, the core of the plot is based around the five nations(United Republic, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, both Water Tribes, and the Air Nomads), over a century later. There is a new Avatar-a young man from the Earth Kingdom-whom lives in the top tier of Ba Sing Se. Technology has sprinted ahead in the time that Korra lived and now it's very similar to the level of technology we ourselves see in our own lives. There are all sorts of unique aircraft, and vehicles, people have phones and can communicate, there even things like guns and other new weaponry.
But, like always, there's someone who is disgruntled. The world has drifted away from the spiritual side of bending and people have stopped worshiping and caring about the dead and the holy. Bending is now a tool to wage war and a way to make money. Lightning benders are hired to help power great machines, earth benders are contracted for construction, even water benders are hired for all sorts of tasks.
A faction of benders and non-benders alike rise up, being far more open than the Equalists. They're angry and want to see technology destroyed and they're willing to kill to see it done. At the very least, they want a place of their own to live in peace to worship the spirits. They're also angry with the Avatar and demand that he start focusing on the spiritual side of the world-he's supposed to be the bridge to that world, isn't he?!
Anyway, you're welcome to choose either side. We'd also like to see what you think can and should be different and how. Please share your opinions and ideas here. This can be lesser plots, uniform ideas, how the world's political structure is, animal and machine suggestions, bending style suggestions, limitations...anything really. Have a little fun and give us some help on this.
Anything you write is gonna go in the next post under your username. It will be paraphrased and summarized so people can find it and comment on it. Links will also go to the post you suggested it, so don't worry about being too wordy or not having your arguments read.

Crystal Bending is being created!
I know that it is available naturally as an Earth Bending Skill, but this will be about being able to use crystal itself, as well as other aspects!
MY character will be the premier teacher, as well as former Teacher to the Avatar! Any one want into a class, Talk to me.

Sorry yummy, i'm more geared towards water/blood bending.
speaking of which what is the limitation on blood bending xD
personally i feel if there can be blood bending that it can only be used to control none player characters. It's a war so naturally they wouldn't have any discretion about using it like they normally would. other then that i'd say maybe it someone had the authority from another person to use it on their character. Wild animals could probably be used, but how about the dead? technically seaking the dead still have fluid in their body and can be controlled kinda like a puppet, but maybe the limitation for those could be idk two bodies at a time maximum, just so people aren't raising the army of the dead. Also if you're going to be a blood bender does that mean you can technically freeze them internally, also i think something should be said that they promise not to god mode a player character and freeze their heart internally for an insta-kill. any thoughts on these.

Yeah, I think Blood-Bending would make things a whole lot more interesting. But it'd be best to only have a select few able to do so. It wouldn't be any fun to have like 50 of em' runnin' around.
Also, just a random question. Will relations to like Aang and them be allowed?

 The thing with blood bending is that it can be overtaken, Korra and Mako managed to break it's hold even for a second to get an attack in. I believe that blood bending shouldn't be messed with at all. As a counter measure, so most every water bender that knows the technique doesn't become a living nightmare, each formal bending school should teach the students how to manipulate the flow of their energy to make breaking a blood bender's hold much easier. Also since the technology is more advanced I think the weaponry should be more period related, its been 100 years or so, which means technology has only advanced 100 years or so. WWII period technology and weaponry is what i'm more drawn to, you know so we don't see see someone setting off IEDs at every street corner. And as for vehicles and airplanes, the good old WWII fighter jets and the Japanese Zeros. If you don't know much about WWII weaponry think mainly on the MP40, the Thompson SMG, Kar98, M1911 pistol, and the german luger. there is much more than that but that's just my rough idea on it. Also since its more of a modern war, will espionage be allowed? You know infiltration and Intel snatching. I was wondering because I like the idea of making a character that is a double agent.

I don't see why you couldn't, it is a century ahead of the original timeline and therefore it's possible for relations to appear, and any nation of people since it Could have spread out as well. The bender them self though would also be quite powerful in their element in my opinion.

I think the WWII idea is quite solid, but to be fair even looking at our time, it hasn't even been 100 years and the technological advancement has bound so greatly the 90% of the world has the means to effect the world from a simple laptop were they good enough. As for the blood bending, that is why i suggested a fair select few who have proven themselves capable water bender adepts, they way I'm suggesting is that they'd have to get approval from the higher ups, at least a majority vote, once that is decided then they have to find a blood bending master to teach them. This is because it isn't something that should or could be taught to everyone.

EDIT!
I believe guns should be available to everyone but bullets, as we know them, should be unavailable to everyone. I wouldn't like seeing people shooting each other in the face and the unnatural advantages metal benders would have on everyone if they had a case full of bullets. I think the guns for non benders should be kinda like a taser and should shoot the electricity found in Aman's chi-blocker gloves. Also If a bender is to use a gun it should be in the aspect of their element and they can only shoot their element out of it. You know how the fire head (not a typo, but yes he is the forehead guy. It's a pun and a tasty one at that) guy he could bend out of his forehead. I believe that fire benders should be able to bend out of the guns themselves. Basically incendiary rounds galore. Other elements are still being thought about in my mind. And so you guys don't say it, i'm thinking of some drawbacks for the weapons. Also I think pistols should be the only thing in this world as for weapons, a fully automatic bending weapon would be catastrophic and lame (But so awesome)I'm trying to keep everything advanced yet not so hard to work around. And i.m.h.o. I think that having a world of little to no modern weapons and vehicles would be the best possible solution, having a world where you could just shoot a bender in the face isn't fun whatsoever, I like the fact of having some finesse still. All of my ideas can be dismissed, i'm just saying what I think could benefit the world.

Ouka Dark no no no no no, it's this
Also, I kinda agree with LA. It's more fun to have bending and not people shooting at each other.

LARomero Mmm... I think that's what I mean. Elaborate on it's function please. The way I imagined it, and plan on using it with my Character, is essentially a rail gun. He will mostly travel on a Land-rover type tank, that in turn can change into a flier. He's going to be the Commander of the United Forces, so he has his toys. On this contraption, there will be two rails, essentially. These rails are like train rails, with the top and bottom being wider than the middle. Metal disks will be automatically loaded into the smaller width area. Hyuga, my Character, will have two foot places right behind this system. In combat situations, he will stand here. When the disk loads in, Hyuga can metal bend said disks to fly in a manner similar to that of a magnetically powered Rail gun. In this case, Metalbending replaces the required magnetism.
