[IMAGE ID: A scratchy digital drawing of a slender man made in ms paint. The text next to him is his name “Chiaro”. He is standing with one hand in his pocket while the other holds a green cigarette holder. He has a tan skin tone, black hair and dark green eyes. He has blunt bangs, four pigtails and his hair is shaved on the parted sections of his hairstyle. He's got many ear and facial piercings and various accessories in green and teal. His left arm has a tattoo of a bluebottle fly foot. His outfit consists of a white tank top with green and teal stripes on the sides, intensely frayed dark gray jeans that are unraveled to his knees, and black and teal platform boots with green laces that peak though the jean fray.

Twin Avatars AU

Randomish AU idea I’ve been thinking about for a while. Then this morning I just figured, fuck it, wynaut? ;D

~x~

*Instead of one Avatar, there's two. And the Avatar Spirit is a set of twin spirits.

*A light spirit named Chiaro, and a dark spirit named Scuro. The Light Avatar has Chiaro and the Dark Avatar has Scuro.

*Yes, their names are based on Chiaroscuro. It refers to the contrast of light and dark values, so I thought it would be fitting. c: Plus it's like my favorite painting style/technique!

*No, Chiaro and Scuro are not like Raava and Vaatu where one is good and one is evil. The dark and light spirit's dynamic is more like this: Chiaro is extremely stubborn, but level headed and clear minded, and Scuro is mad, but open-minded and a creative thinker. The best comparison I can think of off the top of my head is Chiaro is more like Pakku, and Scuro is more like Bumi.

*The cycle of the Light Avatar is the traditional water, earth, fire, air. The cycle for the Dark Avatar runs in reverse, air, fire, earth, water.

*The two avatars can always recognize the current or previous incarnations of the other.

*Also, seeing as Chiaro and Scuro are twins, the Light and Dark Avatars are basically platonic soul-mates. Their friendship has transcended thousands of lifetimes. It goes back all the way to the first two Avatars, Wan and Chiro. (I consider LoK and ATLA to be different canons, but Wan is cute so he can stay.)

*Aang is the Light Avatar, and Yume(OC doughnut steel) is the Dark Avatar.

*Aang is a twelve year old airbender and Yume is a sixteen year old firebender.

*While Aang was born to pure-blooded airbenders, Yume is a half-breed who was born in the Northern Water Tribe.

*In fact, she was recognized as the Dark Avatar when she wandered up to Light Avatar Roku as a two year old. She had gotten separated from her Mom, and recognized him. He recognized her as the re-incarnation of Mina(the previous airbending Dark Avatar) immediately. Side note: Now I wanna draw Roku playing with tiny Yume. So cute! <3

*Funny thing about the twin spirits, Chiaro re-incarnates as pure-blooded benders, and usually into families of note. While Scuro tends to re-incarnate into unexpected places and into half-breed bodies. It's completely like Scuro to re-incarnate as a swampbender, or a half-breed, or even pureblooded bender born into a non-native nation.

*Scuro is just tricky like that.

*Naturally, after Roku passes, Yume and Aang eventually meet and become fast friends. Neither realize that the other is an avatar at the time, but feel a strange connection.

*Much how like Aang has Appa, and Roku had Fang, Yume has a dragon named Draco. Yume met Draco when he was still an egg, and he and Aang are two of the only friends that Yume had.

*When Yume turns five, she starts to show serious firebending talent and is sent to the Fire Nation to master firebending. She ends up living with the Fire Sages(who take her in as they sense doom looming in the horizon and wish to protect the young avatar.) The Fire Sages do not tell her she is the Avatar until her sixteenth birthday.

*The sages fears are realized when Yume is spirited away soon after turning sixteen.

*When Aang froze himself, the spirits dragged Yume into the void between the spirit and mortal realm. Mercifully, they drag Draco into the void too.

*In the void, the previous Dark Avatars taught Yume the other elements and helped her become a fully realized Dark Avatar.

Side note- I actually can’t decide between Yume being a fully realized avatar, and being an ava-noob like Aang. Because I could have her with Aang bumbling around, learning how to properly utilize an ancient, powerful spirit and being adorable as two besties learn the elements together. Or I can have her contrast with Aang who is untrained but more emotionally stable. And also, she would absolutely feel completely responsible for him and feel like a complete failure when a certain terrible thing happens.

*In the void, time does not exist, so Yume doesn't age. Physically or mentally. No, she just becomes lonelier and more eccentric.

*When Aang breaks out of the iceberg, Yume is released from the void. Resulting in Yume and Draco crashing right into a sleeping Appa.

*Appa's a little salty about having his nap disturbed but is happy to see Draco.

*Yume is extatic to see Aang, and Aang is also quite excited to see Yume.

*It's only in that moment that Aang and Yume realize that the other is an avatar.

*Even though Yume knows that Aang is the Light Avatar, she doesn't reveal his secret. She opts to let him come clean on his own terms.

*At first Katara and Sokka(mostly Sokka) are suspicious of Yume. Seeing as she's wearing Fire Nation clothes(and is technically half-Fire). However they don't know that she's a half-breed and assume she's just Fire Nation.

*Yume is surprised by the amount of hostility she gets over being Fire Nation.

*"Look, I know there's something off about Sozin, but we're not all like that." "...What do you mean he died decades ago??"

*Both Aang and Yume have a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that a century had passed.

*Katara is quicker to warm up to Yume, because she doesn't act like the fire-bugs that raided her village. Yume's actually quite nice, if a little strange. Also, she's the Dark Avatar, a force a balance and bringer of hope to the world.

*Despite Yume's strangeness, Sokka can't help but warm up to her as well.

*Both Aang and Yume convince Katara to go into the abandoned Fire Nation ship, and trigger boobie traps. Yume takes full responsibility(even though it was Aang's idea), and is kicked out. Aang decides to go with her, because he feels bad about getting her kicked out.

*While away, Aang and Yume have a heart to heart about why Aang lied about being the Avatar.

*When Zuko comes, both Aang and Yume come to the villages rescue. When they ask why she came back, Yume just says that it's her duty to protect the innocent.

*Because Yume is technically 116, she uses outdated Fire Nation slang. It pisses Zuko off to no end, and she enjoys every second of it. In fact, when she first sees him, she greets him with "Flameo, hotman!" and he gets really fuckin mad. :'D

*Zuko is about to take on a fully realized Avatar, and Yume thinks that so adorable. The difference in power between the two is so great, that Yume can hardly take him seriously.

*Even though Yume knows she can take this pissy Prince and his little squad, she doesn't argue when Aang opts to surrender.

*Of course she and Aang escape easily.

*The first time Yume sees Aang go into the avatar state, she freezes up. Something in her twists painfully at the sight of him in such distress.

*Even though Yume is a fully realized Avatar, she cannot defeat the Fire Lord alone. She needs Aang. And Aang is still untrained.

*Yume is horrified and disgusted by what the Fire Nation has become. And despite being the Dark Avatar, is often given the side-eye by the very people she and the rest of the Gaang try to help.

*Yume helps supplement Aang's training, but even she realizes that he needs to learn from real masters.

*When shit goes down at Wan Shi Tong's library, both Appa and Draco are stolen. Yume is completely devastated, but pretends like it isn't affecting her.

*She drinks cactus juice along with Sokka! :'D Although, she actually knew what it would do to her.

*Even though Yume puts on a brave front, Katara can sense just how much loosing Draco is hurting her. But unlike Aang, Yume refuses to open up and show her true feelings.

*At least until Draco comes back and she sobs into his fluffy dragon mane.

*When Aang gets shot down in Ba Sing Se, it wasn't just Yume watching her childhood friend die. It was thousands of lifetimes watching their platonic soul-mate die right in front of them, it was Scuro watching their twin perish right before their eyes.

*Yume was consumed by a blinding, inescapable rage. For the first time, a fully realized Avatar completely lost control. Yume completely leveled Ba Sing Se before Draco was able to calm her down. She only barely escaped.

*In that night, the world lost both it's Avatars once again.

*Aang felt like he failed the world, and Yume was too afraid of loosing control again.

*When the time came to face Ozai on the day of the comet, Aang went to the lion-turtle alone. Yume doesn't know where he went and is afraid that she'll have to face Ozai alone. That she'll lose control again.

*She goes with Sokka, Suki, and Toph to stop the warships and face Ozai.

*When she and Aang face off against the Fire Lord, she holds back and is shot down. When she comes too, she sees what she thinks is Ozai finishing off Aang(when his fire breaks through Aang's protective earth sphere and he slams against that rock). And immediately goes full on avatar state, but Aang is fine, and now also in the avatar state.

*The two of them completely curbstomp Ozai.

*Yume is about to deliver the final blow, when Aang comes out of the avatar state and stops her. She yields, and restrains Ozai instead. Aang then does his thing and takes Ozai's bending away.

*When the war is over, and it's time to have meetings to make peace, Yume is a terrible diplomat.

*She keeps putting her feet up on the table, pretending to fall asleep during meetings(while making an obnoxious snoring sound), and is actively hostile towards most of the old, stubborn generals and government officials that refuse to make the diplomacy process easy.

*There is even one incident where one Earth Kingdom general is giving Fire Lord Zuko shit about not just letting him kick people out of the Fire Nation colonies. Zuko argues that it's not fair to just kick people out of the only home they've known and make them homeless. The general isn't empathetic. Yume is visibly annoyed, and openly glaring at the man.

*"Is there something you have to say to me, Avatar?"

*"Yeah. You're a bitch."

*Zuko is horrified, Toph is laughing. Aang is struggling to remain composed.

*"Excuse me??"

*"Oh, I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that. You're a cunt."

*"I don't have to take this. If you do not expel your people from my land, there will be consequences."

*"Are you trying to start another war?"

*"I'll do what I have to."

*"You better not, I know where you live."

*The room goes silent.

*"Are you threatening me?"

*"It's not a threat, it's a promise~" ;)
