I update in the middle of the night, what of it

Aang >:)

Info! Had a LOT of fun combining Air Nomad outfit elements with a more typical "travel" outfit. Super warm colour palettes of course! Aang is the god of balance, travelers, and hospitality. He's a bit of a free spirit and a lot of the more serious gods find him a bit annoying (Sokka.) People often pray to Aang when they have to go on long journeys, or invoke his name when they need to stop to rest. It's a well-known fact that the god of travelers has a habit of wandering around incognito-- he just does it because he likes interacting with people without being recognized. In doing so, however, he accidentally started to enforce his hospitality domain, as mortals became terrified of accidentally offending him if he were to show up at their door. He loves to follow Sokka around on hunts (he gets to explore dangerous areas)-- Sokka hates when Aang follows him because he almost always ends up losing his catch. Katara and Aang's Justice and Balance domains mean that they often are called upon together by mortals. Katara, to enact a fitting punishment upon perpetrators. And Aang, to provide reparations to victims. It's found to be very fitting that they ended up becoming a couple.

I know I've literally got another au in the works already but i don't care man I love mythology and now they're gods >:)))))

Some info!

Katara and Sokka's face markings are based on the Painted Lady and Warrior makeup (respectively)-- on top of giving Sokka some winged eyeliner to resemble a wolf's markings (as the master of wolves), and a semi-circle on Katara's forehead as a symbol of equality (as the goddess of justice).

Gods don't technically "die" in this AU-- it doesn't happen often, but when it does, they usually become one with their domain. When Gyatso died, as the god of the wind, he turned into the wind and could only communicate through wind chimes (small signs/yes/no-- he can't communicate complex thoughts).

When Kya died, she turned into the starry sky. Hakoda, grieving his wife, would often study her form in the sky and learned to use the patterns of her stars to navigate, which made him become god of navigators.

When Kya died, people started praying to Sokka and Katara for matters of family and home-- it's not actually their domain, but they gratefully accept the duties that come with taking over for their mother.

Katara's necklace has sharp points in this to relate to her mother's star domain.

Katara's cloak is a sealskin (as the matron of sealife)

Yes, Sokka's leg is still hurt in this (still trying to figure out the story behind that, but I love when characters get permanent injuries in media and I'm KEEPING IT) he has a cane-- doesn't always need to use it but he has it!

Sokka's cloak is a polar bear dog's hide (as the god of hunting)

This one's really fun

Toph is a very interesting one.

She's the Goddess of Victory and the Truth, amongst other things. She's one of the most-revered gods out there, due to how powerful a domain she holds. Athletes, soldiers, and leaders alike all pray to her very often.

Her blindness is not at all seen as an issue by mortals-- actually, due to her blindness, mortals tend to be much kinder to disabled folk.

It's seen as sacrilegious to forbid someone from participating in sports, contest, or even war on the basis of their perceived abilities. It's seen almost as if you're saying that Toph wouldn't be able to do that.

She's also the patron of innovation. She's the first form of Metalbending, and inventors/tinkerers will often pray to both her and Sokka (god of wisdom) when they go to create something new.

The Blind Bandit is an enigma.

No one really knows what she is-- she might be the goddess of trickery? And lies? but she's the only goddess to have no temples, to never ask for offerings or prayers, and she doesn't really... act like a goddess.

Really, she's more of a cryptid than a goddess- she definitely isn't human, considering she's been hanging around for like 300 years... but yeah no one really knows what she's up to.

Yes the wolf she's riding on is Sokka- he isn't too happy about it but he has a soft spot for Toph.

Aang and The Blind Bandit meet each other pretty often on the road-- he's normally the epitome of "good deeds" but she's a really bad influence on him (some think that he just can't say no to someone that shares his sense of style)

Is it Horizon Forbidden Tomb Raider or Tomb Raider Zero Dawn? 🤔

Wilton Regan admits she's thought about how she wants to define her version of a character played by a long line of actresses across games, movies, and TV shows.

“It's less about distinguishing from past iterations,” she says, “and almost melding everything together.”

Wilton Regan recites her mantra: “No Laras left behind.”

“I want my Lara to be an amalgamation of everything that's come before, retaining that confident, sexy, sassy, classic Lara-ness, whilst bringing her forward into the next chapter of her life,” she explains.

The mission behind Legacy of Atlantis is “to bring the character of Lara Croft up to speed with all of the history of the Survivor trilogy, bringing Lara up to where she is in her life for this debut adventure,” Wilton Regan explains.

It’s not a remake or a remaster. That much Wilton Regan stresses.

"It will take the player on a very different emotional journey throughout Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis," she teases, "which will indulge your senses and your imagination and will then lead us nicely into Catalyst."

Details on Catalyst remain sparse, but the story is set in Northern India in the wake of a "mythical cataclysm" that unleashes "ancient secrets" and "the mysterious forces that guard them," according to an official description. It's a game about the old colliding with the new, which feels on par with Wilton Regan's approach to Croft herself.

"I very much hope that my Lara Croft will bring together fans who have been with Lara since day one in 1996," she says. "I hope that our Tomb Raiders will invite them all back into the fold whilst also appealing to modern-day audiences who perhaps haven't played the games before or perhaps were, like, 10 years old in 2018 when the last game came out."

It's a tall order. "I want to straddle those two hemispheres," she continues, "pull them together with Lara's charisma and confidence and capabilities."
