Description
[Gravity: 0.10G, Pressure: 0ATM, Distance: 0.6AU, Replaces Ember Island]
The larger of the Fire World's two natural satellites. Though it was originally nothing but a barren rock, large gold-foil-shielded habitation domes with breathable air and plentiful plant life have been constructed over its surface, and it is used by the Fire nation as a luxury getaway. Attendance has fallen steadily during the war, such that now most housing, and even entire domes, are unused and unpopulated.

Questions you may have:
- What am I looking at here?
- This is the world of Avatar the Last Airbender, except instead of being set in an industrial-revolution-era earth-like Asiatic fantasy world, I have removed all those industrial-revolution-era earth-like aciatic fantasy bits, and have reinterpreted all the show’s characters, events, and locations into the far depths of
- O U T E R S P A C E
- Why would you do this?
- I recently watched ATLA for the first time, and fell in love with the characters and the world, and wanted to do something special for it. However, the fandom is about a billion years old and a billion fans strong, so any fanart has likely already been done, and the show’s writing and plot are so solid that fanfiction could do more disservice than good, so I figured hey, I’m a huge sci-fi nerd, why don’t I just give it the ol’ Treasure Planet treatment?
- This could be an awesome writing prompt for other people.
- Why should I care?
- Momo as a cute space alien
- Azula in power armor
- Learn cool science concepts such as ‘entomophagous’, ‘ekranoplan’, ‘tidal locking’, ‘V.A.S.I.M.R.’, and ‘Lagrange Points’
- Ponder interesting tidbits about how a hard magic system could influence technological options among spacefaring nations
- Sokka’s first girlfriend turned into a black hole.
- Isn’t it supposed to be ‘Airbender’? Why ‘Voidbender’?
- This is the only large change I had to make to the magic system. Airbender powers would be unable to embody the philosophies of freedom and fun in space. Voidbending takes its place; it relates less to a physical material, and more closely to the manipulation of gravity and spacetime, which fits better thematically and is necessary to the plot, as will be explained in the voidbender link.
- Could you elaborate in excruciating detail?
- Yes.
- Can you draw [insert favorite character/scene/ship here] in this AU’s style?
- Yes, I’ll draw whatever the heck. Name it.
