The Ultimate Ambition Atla Au: (even abbreviates to aaa lol) aka AAA Atla:

An ambition (loosely based on girl meets world) avatar the last bender au:

Thanks to Maggie and Esther for choosing which benders the a class are, who would be the avatar, and the basic ideas they came up with!

Okay let’s get started:

Think of this AU as an Urban Fantasy Comedy Drama, in which magic coexists with the normal human world and takes place in modern times and the New York setting (unlike the atla world/ lore, but keeping the magic system of bending intact.)

In Manhattan, New York lies Abigail Adams Academy (or simply Adams)- a prestigious school for benders and non-benders alike; benders (water, earth, fire, and air) are trained to control their abilities while non-benders train in self-defense, weapons, science and technology, etc. While focusing on both magical and academic teachings, Adams is the pitstop for students who want to get involved in the political, magical, artistic, and technical aspects of the real world (basically trying to find your place in a world filled with magic). Although young and naive, the Adams’ students have an annoying sense of ambition and drive to pursue their future endeavours and are often clouded by that judgement. (“It's a clear sense of ambition to be something extraordinary, only for a dozen others to have that same drive; and do it better. It’s sad, but fun to watch!” -Lucas James Friar) If destiny is written, people have a purpose in their life. And the Avatar is proof of that statement.

The Avatar, happens once in a generation, is the master of all four bending elements (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air); and when they die, they are reincarnated into the next bender in the cycle. The Avatar is the chosen one. The in between of both magical and mundane. The Mediator of each elemental benders and non bender- to restore balance to the world and bring peace. Once the Avatar is found, they are trained by a bender in their respective element- following the order of the Avatar Cycle. The Avatar also gains the Avatar State- the ability to access their past lives for their wisdom and power. In the Avatar State, they are at their most powerful and vulnerable, if killed in the Avatar State- the cycle breaks forever. It's been 16 years since the death of the previous Avatar, and there hasn't been a sign of the next Avatar- who’s supposedly an airbender. Until Adams’ newest student, Dylan Orlando, arrives. Dylan tries to navigate the insane world of Adams and master all 4 elements, while threats start creeping in. Lucky for him, he’s not alone, he has a team to guide him through his journey. His Team Avatar (in order of photos above):

Lucas Friar: Non-Bender, Swordsmanship, Weapon Making/ Handling, Fight Combat, He’s also very good with animals (both normal and magical)

Riley Matthews: Waterbender (her mom’s side are Waterbenders, her dad’s side are Earthbenders), Healing, Bloodbending (she learned the technique to save her friends, but now she refuses to use it ever again)

Isadora ‘Smackle’ De La Cruz: Earthbender, Metalbending, (she’s the first to discover this ability)

Asher Garica: Firebender, Lighting redirection, Drawing-(Asher doesn't use his fire bending at first, because of his anxiety and fear he can't control his abilities. A way to ‘control’ it is to wear fireproof gloves and draws to calm his nerves), Minor weapons handling (thanks to Lucas)

Dylan Orlando: Airbender, Waterbending, Earthbending, Firebending, Avatar State, Agility (He’s quick on his feet and par takes in backflips and cartwheels any chance he gets). He also has an animal guide, a English sheepdog (kinda like the Appa to Aang)

Team Avatar will also include the Four Elements Crew (Techie Crew) (Dave-Earth, Nate-Fire, Jade-Non-Bender, and Jeff- Water as the AU process Nigel- Air is added cause he’s become a in law like Riley). Once it’s known that Dylan is the Avatar, 2 key Adams Administrators come to assist the gang- Head of Adams Jack Hunter and Guidance Counselor and Riley's Earthbender uncle Eric Matthews

● Jack Hunter: Non-Bender, Principal of Adams Academy, Swordsmanship, Weapons handling/ making, Fight Combat (He teaches these skills to Lucas so he can defend himself )

● Eric Matthews: Earthbender, Guidance Counselor and Assistant Principal of Adams, Riley’s uncle (he teaches his earth bending techniques to Isadora)
