#COD Bender!Au

[slasherfantasy]

Okay, just thought of an ATLA/Benders!AU for COD, and I'm really pondering everyone's element... Soap and Gaz came easy, Soap is a Firebender and Gaz is an Airbender. But Ghost and Price are giving me trouble.

Price feels like he would be an Earthbender, right off the bat, that solid, steady presence. But it also doesn't quite feel right for the rest of his personality, you know? Like, he's got some fire to him! Plus I feel like if he had Metalbending, he would just be too powerful (just snatching weapons out of the enemy's hands lmao). Also, maybe he's the one non-bender of the group? A Sokka-type.

For Ghost, I kinda want him to be a Waterbender, because frankly they have so much scary shit, but also because I feel like all his enemies would expect the big scary skull man to be a Firebender and I like to subvert that kind of expectation. If he was a Firebender, he would be that guy who has a tattoo on his forehead and blows things up with his mind. I do also think he could work as an Earthbender too. I can just see him hurling spikes of rock/ice at his opponents like throwing knives. And there would maybe be a cool angle where he had never Earthbended before until he was so desperate to dig his way out of his grave. And he's not the strongest bender so he can't lift huge rocks, but he refined the skill he does have so much that he can now Metalbend small amounts of metal, which is the real reason he has so many knives on him.

If Ghost was a Waterbender, I think he would mostly work with ice. He would almost never use Waterbending's healing powers. He does know how to Bloodbend (it would be what helped him escape Roba, who was a waterbender and used Bloodbending to help torture Ghost) but he truly loathes doing it. It reminds him of some of the worst times of his life and it makes him feel like Roba when he uses it. Bloodbending tends to happen involuntarily for Ghost, when he's at his most panicked. The first time was right after he came home from Roba, and a doc tried to touch him during a physical. The most recent time was when he saw Makarov lift a gun to Soap's head.

What do you guys think?

Soap - Firebender

Gaz - Airbender

Price - Earthbender, Firebender, or non-bender?

Ghost - weak Earthbender + metalbending, or strong Waterbender + bloodbending?

🚬🦇 Vampire!Price 🚬🦇

Vampire!Price AU where he's 737 years old and has been through countless wars. One of the most powerful beings in existence who has the gift, or rather, a curse of eternal life. Now he's with the SAS, forming the Task Force 141, a team of soldiers with special abilities. In the modern day though, Price has sworn to only consume animal blood, because if he consumes human blood (even the enemies') his thirst will grow insatiable and he'll harm other people he grew to cherish, which explains his pale skin colour. He hasn't drunk any human blood since WWII. When he's at the height of his powers, he can control the blood flow of other beings with blood, and with that, their movements and even every pump of their heart. That is, until he met Gaz, who hadn't a single drop of blood inside his body. Spoiler : it's Mummy!Gaz 👀

What a fun experience ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Revisiting the Vampire!Price had been really enjoyable, plus the fact that I get to study more shading and colouring techniques (because I suck at colouring)!

That cup is definitely just a red tea.

Hope you love this art! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Oh sorry, Pepa from encanto, her gift!

Zuko controls the weather with his emotions instead of having firebending

Oh yeah! That would be so cool!

But also devasting for Zuko in the early years of his life. I can see Ozai and even Ursa to some extent pressing him to remain emotionless and calm, so he doesn't cause a huge storm. But of course, that doesn't work out.

After Ursa disappears, it rains over the palace for weeks. When Zuko speaks out in the war room, there's a lightning storm. And during the Agni Kai, it rains hail, an especially bad afront since it's viewed as a bad omen (being the opposite element of ice). And during the Avatar hunt, The Wangi is plagued with bad lightning storms.

Lightning storms becomes associated with Zuko and often alert the Gaang that he's close by. This especially frustrates Zuko since this is the only way he can summon lightning unlike his father and sister.

Iroh is the only one who really stays around Zuko during his emotional storms. During their wandering days in Book 2, the weather is often foggy to reflect Zuko's inner confusion on what's right and wrong. After his angst coma, it's sunny and brighter now that Zuko has somewhat found peace.

Until Azula returns and imprisons him with Katara. When they talk about their mothers, it's starts to rain again. Not the harsh lightning storm, but a softer drearier rain that fell when Ursa disappeared. Katara stays with him under the cloud, instead of moving away to avoid the rain.

After the betrayal and returning to the Fire Palace, Zuko's emotions are stunned. There are no storms, or fog, or anything... Ozai sees it as an improvement. Zuko's weather doesn't return until he admits he's angry at himself on the beach and a lightning storm breaks out.

On DOTBS when Zuko confronts Ozai, there's more storms. But instead of fighting or repressing it, Zuko leans into it and kind of weather bends?

Anyway, as he spends more time with the Gaang, he embraces his emotions more and learns how to work with them. Much like Storm from X-Men.

In conclusion, Zuko becomes a weather-bender at the end with the help of friendship and therapy.

141!bender au has lived in my mind rent free for many months and you are the first (potential) atla and cod fan that i’ve met.

like imagine the task force as an elite bending team that each specializes in an element.. only question is who’s which element? i could see soap as fire (explosions = fire), gaz gives air, i think price would be a metal bending earth bender, and simon would be water bender (with blood bending??)

Hi hello hey!

I love the idea of Simon as a water bender + with the added ability to blood bend would make him seriously terrifying haha. Gaz is so air bender coded! I can tell you’ve thought about these and I wholeheartedly support your choices. I can see them all clear as day.

Now I really need to rewatch ATLA…
