#Azula is foil. Mai is epee. Ty Lee is sabre.

ATLA modern fencing AU where instead of mastering the four elements, Aang needs to master all three weapons in order to round out the club's competition teams and prevent Ozai's students from sweeping the medals at nationals and driving Aang's club out of business.

Zuko fences sabre (fast, explosive, reactive)

Sokka fence foil (high-strung drama queen)

Katara fences epee (all about rhythm and pushing and pulling distance) but she wants to switch to sabre (just whacking shit) (which is bad sabre) (but cathartic)

Suki fences epee (none of this finicky right-of-way nonsense, just some good practical stabbing)

Toph is the club armorer who also knows every cheat in the game (hair spray on the lamé, questionable wiring, etc.)

How confident I am I could beat fictional characters in a fight. For this list I am going off of skill and personality alone, no powers. Yes I will give valid reasons for these rankings. Also assume these characters are my age (16). (The higher the number the less likely I am to beat them.)

For people who are just now seeing my page, here are my stats: I am a 7 time regional champion archer, I have also ranked in the top 10 at regionals for fencing in Sabre, epee, and foil for the past 3 years, I have taken self defense classes since I was little and I have even taught beginner classes, I have also been trained in 6 different martial arts over the course of about 9-10 years.

I’ll start with avatar: the last air bender first:

Aang: 8/10, he is a very well trained fighter as he was taught by the monks at birth. However he has several things holding him back, mainly the fact he doesn’t want to fight. He was taught mainly defensive and evasive maneuvers and his own morals hold him back. If I were to win I would have to make up a sob story and then betray him.

Consensus: most of the time I wouldn’t stand much of a chance, but his morals and teachings hold him back.

Katara: 1/10, no I am not just someone who hates katara, she’s a good bender however she has had little to no formal combat training. However she is stubborn and would not go down without a fight.

Consensus: she hasn’t had enough formal training to pose a real threat, however she wouldn’t make it easy for me.

Sokka: 2/10, don’t even get me fucking started on sokka, great character, horrible at fighting. Just look at the way he swings his sword around wildly, wtf. The only thing bringing his score up is his very little amount of training given to him by his father.

Consensus: terrible fucking fighter, but has had some training. I’d still most likely win.

Momo: 6/10 this bitch would go feral if I went anywhere near his food and his eyes scare me.

Consensus: I’d get my shit rocked

Toph: 9/10 HER FORM IS FUCKING FLAWLESS AND SHE USES A REALLY RARE FORM OF KUNG-FU CALLED MANTIS FORM. NOT TO MENTION THE RAW FUCKING POWER SHE EXUDES THE ONLY CHANCE I HAVE OF SURVIVAL IS THE WATER.

Consensus: she would beat my ass

Appa: 8.5/10 he fucking outweighs me by several tons and he can fly. The only thing saving me is the fact he’s a gentle giant.

Consensus: I would get my shit rocked unless he wasn’t in the mood to fight

Zuko: 7/10 he has had a lot of royal training however he was also thrown out of that for a period of time. I also believe his cockiness would get the better of him or he would try to turn me to his side.

Consensus: probably get my shit rocked but i at least have a shot

Iroh: 9.5/10 If he wanted to kill me he would do it before I even knew what was happening. Good thing iroh is a gentle soul so there’s a chance he would just sit me down for tea.

Consensus: if we were fighting I’d prob die but he also is a very kind old man

Azula: 10/10 she’s not as powerful as iroh but she’d show no fucking mercy. Not to mention I would let her kill me.

Consensus: dead almost instantly but I’d probably attempt to flirt with her beforehand

Mai: 5.5/10 she’s faster than me but I feel like I could hold my own decently well. It honestly depends on who gets the first hit and because she’s faster than me she’s more likely to win

Consensus: I feel like we’d be pretty evenly matched but she’d still have a better shot at kicking my ass

Ty Lee: 7.5/10 she is relatively friendly and that would probably be my saving grace but this lady knows pressure points like no other and I just know she could beat my ass.

Consensus: friendly but not to be fucked with, I could probably not handle her in a fight.

Suki: 9.5/10 She is so fucking strong and an excellent fighter. Hell she led the kyoshi warriors and pretty much broke her and sokka out of jail. However I feel like she would probably try to recruit me like she did with ty Lee.

Consensus: She’d rock my shit and I would let her

Cabbage man: 0.5/10 I fucking hate cabbages and I would eliminate him out of pure unbridled rage and hatred.

Consensus: he wouldn’t stand a chance against my hatred for cabbages

Ozai: 8.5/10, aang beat him in a fight so I can’t imagine he’s too bad. But he has had royal training from the fire nation and I believe ultimately he would defeat me.

Consensus: I would put up a fight but I’d ultimately lose.
