Happy Halloween from the Gaang! (Sort of)  

I know this is slightly complex, but it’s worth it! Like the Pokemon one I made before, I tried to make this one as accurate as possible as well. While the birthdays thing isn’t 100% canon, it has been said that most benders are born within their element’s corresponding seasons. So, Water=Winter, Earth=Spring, Fire=Summer, Air=Fall. And it’s said that all children born into the air nomads become benders since they’re raised so spiritually! :) As for the special dates within the months, they’re the winter/summer solstices and spring/fall equinoxes, which have held significance within the Avatar-verse in the past, so I figured they’d be fun to include to give people the opportunity to be a different kind of bender than their homeland. 

Most people will likely be nonbenders, since it’s typically more common. So, I tried to make things as interesting and diverse as possible with the nonbender skills/occupations.
