Description

[Gravity: 0.01G, Pressure: 0ATM, Orbit: 0.8-10.2AU, Replaces Kyoshi Island]

A 3km-wide mountain shattered clear of a frozen Earth Kingdom moon and hurled into space by Avatar Kyoshi, which she did during the conquest of Chin the Conqueror to stop his advance and to ensure the safety of her people. It was on this comet that she settled, and began training a group of elite women warriors to follow in her ways. Lady Kyoshi's great size, long demanding life, and low-gravity upbringing gave her weak knees, which necessitated her use of powered prosthetics to stay mobile later in life. Similar exoskeletons were later integrated into her follower's tactics and battle dress, which allowed them to carry heavier armor, and deploy on high-gravity worlds, while focusing their training toward technique instead of strength. Birthplace of Rabies Man.

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.
Did you change the ‘spirits’ to make them aliens or something’?
Nah, I kept the spirits the same.
