#ATLA warriors au

“You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher.”

Another crossover au post but this time I’ve given them clan names

At the current point, Zuko is known as Seapaw (at 7 moons old), and Ozai is known as Hawkstar (like 60 moons??? Idk)

I’ll post some refs soon, I have a whole sketchbook worth of crossover content now so I’m gonna slowly translate a bunch to digital and post it lol

Alright! Another warriors au scene redraw. This is Aang's introduction in the first episode. My sister thought I should make him a sphinx cat (which is fair but I just really didn't want to draw a naked cat with tattoos). But I already had something in mind. For Airclan cats, once they master Airbending, they are presented to Spiritclan (this au's equivalent to Starclan), and given their warrior name, as well as an arrow-shaped marking on their forehead, signifying Spiritclan's blessing and acknowledgement that they've become full warriors

A:tLA Olympics AU – Suki

Suki needed a team. And an aggressive "masculine" game. And some object in place of a weapon. And since Kyoshi island is close to the south pole it should be a winter game.

Ice hockey it is.

Other options for her were judo or taekwondo or curling (this one mostly as a joke). And I thought about baseball which is very popular in Japan ('cause Kyoshi island is the most japanese-inspired place in this universe - and Suki would look so badass with a baseball bat!) but baseball was not included in Olympics program the last time I've checked.

Judo was saved for another character.

Other characters appear in my "atla olympics au" tag.

Redesigned my Zukitty also WARRIOR NAME DROP‼️‼️‼️

When Seapaw returned to Shadowclan after the siege of Windclan, his father Hawkstar named him Seascorch to honour his loyalty to the clan of Fire. He didn’t know why, but every time someone called him by his new name, he felt a wave of guilt. That was until his confrontation with Hawkstar, when he finally knew why - that name carried the weight of his wrongs. He ran from Shadowclan to follow his destiny and help the Avatar stop Shadowclan’s reign of terror, and when he did, he renamed himself Seahaze (the name his uncle had always suggested) to atone for what he’d done. :33333

WOW lore drop????? COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH

Alright, i wanna talk about my atla warrior cats au so this is a post about it

First of all, im not sure just how familiar yall are with warrior cats, but basically its a really long kids'/adolescents' book series about four (or five) clans of feral cats that live in the woods and fight each other over territory. Important notes are, there is a cat heaven called starclan where (most of) the dead cats go, and starclan can grant nine lives to the leaders of each clan. The leaders appoint a deputy who is second in line and takes over after the leader loses all their lives, there are warriors who make up the majority of each clan, apprentices who are warriors in training (for 6 months to 1 year old), and kits (who are kittens, under 6 months). There are also technically healers referred to as medicone cats, but they dont fit so well into my au so i have a workaround. Apprentices all have the suffix -paw until they earn their warrior name, and leaders all have the suffix -star. Addtionally, there are cats that don't live in the clans, which consist of rogues and loners, and kittypets. For the sake of i literally cannot figure out how to fit them in, i am not including kittypets in this au

Ok, now that the important info is oit of the eay let's get into it! (Under the cut)

So, there are four clans based of course on the four nations, Waterclan, Earthclan, Fireclan, and Airclan. Waterclan's leader is chief Arnook, renamed Polarstar for the au. The deputy is Hakoda, or Blizzardclaw. Earthclan is led by king Kuei (Sweetstar - subject to change), and the deputy is Long Feng (Stoneflash).

Fireclan of course is led by Ozai (Smokestar), and the deputy position actually changes paws a few times. Before zuko's banishment, the deputy position is held by Iroh (Dragonblaze), but he steps down when he joins his nephew in his exile. After that, Smokestar appoints Zhao (originally Cinderburn) as deputy. When he goes on his mission to kill the moon, he goes and changes his name to Moonhunter. Now, it isn't unheard of or warriors to hange their names to something that fits better, but they kinda have to be approved by the leader and starclan. In this case, it was not and was just something he did of his own accord. Not very plot relevant, i just think it's silly. Anyway, after he gets taken out by the ocean spirit, Smokestar appoints Azula (Emberspark) as the next deputy. Fireclan's leadership/deputyship system operates where once the leader's oldest kit earns their warrior name, they become deputy and are next in line to become leader. So when Zuko (Blazeheart) returns to Fireclan territory after helping Emberspark take Ba Sing Se, Emberspark steps down and Blazeheart becomes deputy. Until of course he leaves his clan and joins the avatar (ava-cat?), then Emberspark is reinstated as deputy.

Anyway moving on lol. So Airclan is a little different, sicne there's only one Airclan cat left. Aang (Windpelt, originally) by default is the Airclan leader. When he, Katara, and Sokka visit the southern air temple in the early episodes, and he realizes he is the last Air-cat, Windpelt gets to go through his leadership ceremony, and is given his nine lives, one of which is given by Monk Gyatso (Galestar). After this event, his name is changed to Windstar, and he is officially one of the four clan leaders

Due to the very spread out nature of the clans, the leaders are not able to oversee every single ceremony that goes on within their clans. Instead, each camp (basically each town or area they visit) has a cat theyve appointed to act as a "leader" and take care of apprentice ceremonies, naming ceremonies, etc. For example, Gran Gran (Sealfur) would be the acting leader for the southern Waterclan camp, or King Bumi (Quartzeye) would be the acting leader for Omashu.

Additionally, due to the clans being spread out, none of the clans would have designated healers or medicine cats, instead part of every cats' warrior training would involve a bit of healing so thy can all provide first aid for themselves and their clanmates. Certain Water-cats would still have healing abilities, it'd just be in a different fashion to traditional cat medicine, and these Water-cats would be renowned for their healing.

Non-bending cats would be versed in what I've been referring to as claw-combat. Bending cats are able to rely much more on their elements when fightingn whereas non-bending cats get to use their teeth and claws more to fight. I also think these cats do utilize weapons and tools. For example i believe Snowtail would still have his boomerang (a little kitty boomerang lol), and eventually learn to use a sword.

This au's version of starclan would be referred to as spiritclan, and would be also the same as the spirit world. The Avatar (ava-cat? I really am wondering if i should call them the ava-cat lol) is then the bridge between the cat clans and spiritclan.

I've also been toying with the idea that each clan cat recieves a mark from spiritclan when they earn their warrior name. I've already decided hat Airclan cats recieve a sort of arrow shaped mark in their fur, and i think Waterclan cats also recieve a mark (probably a crescent moon). Im thinking maybe Fireclan cats could recieve perhaps flame-shaped stripes on their cheeks? (Like tabby markings, but more like fire almost. Still not sure). Not entirely sure what id give Earthclan cats, but i believe the mark would be on their legs/paws. Basically i just think it'd be cool lolol.

Regarding appa and momo, i really think they would be left pretty much the same (except i think momo would have to be smaller, maybe a mousebat instead of a flying lemur - lemurs are simply too large when compared to cats). However the cats do typically hunt animals like momo, which i think could lead to some silly goofy moments. Windstar would still be vegetarian i think, for silly's sake, and his friends dont eat momo out of respect for him, but they definitely want to.

That's pretty much all of the world-building info that i have thought of so far, i have a few thoughts on some specific cats/characters but this post is long enough i think lol. I'll probably post those in the future but I'll leave it at this for now

--- Are you talking yourself out of something or into something, Sokka?

[a-little-lost-in-my-own-head]

Guys, I found the perfect Sokka creature.

So we all know the dragon Zuko au, where he turns into a dragon, right? And I thought "hey, what if other nations have that too?" So I started my research.

The first creature I thought of was Tangie, because it's perfect for a fanfic. It's a water horse beast, that can appear as either a horse or a handsome man. When someone mounts it in horse form it's pretty safe until Tangie smells water. Then the back becomes adhesive and human can't escape. Tangie takes human to water and eats it.

Zukka fanfic where Zuko wants to put himself in danger (again) with no consideration for his own safety (again) and self sacrifice for others (again), but Sokka in horse form turns on his adhesive trait and literally carries him to safety like "no you stay right here"? Yes please.

BUT!

I thought, why force our western mythology here? So I searched for Inuit creatures, since you know, water tribe is based on Inuit culture. There aren't a lot of them on Wikipedia, so it didn't take long to look through every single one and guys

Guys.

Akhlut.

Do you guys know what an akhlut is? You probably don't, so let me tell you. Akhlut is an orca that becomes a wolf once it steps on land. It also has a merge form.

Do you know what looks an awful lot like it was inspired by orca, or at least has orca colors?

THAT'S RIGHT!

Do you guys know what was definitely inspired by wolves?

EXACTLY!

He already is an orca wolf! What's more, most of ATLA animals are merged from two animals, so it even fits lore! Tangie is perfect for fanfics, but akhlut is perfect for Sokka.

Why isn't this common in fanfics? Why isn't it popular? Besides, look at this good boy.

Baby Sokka akhlut.

EDIT: okay so maybe Sokka's war paint doesn't look all that orca-ish, but not having it in front of my eyes I thought it fit so I kept it in the post even after I double checked it. It has the colors. That's enough for me.
