I dont think wemmbu was a real PMC member I'd say he was more of an ally

I actually hadn't thought of what bending wemmbu have but now that u bring it up anon he kinda strikes me as either a water or firebender

now I'm a bittt less familiar with everyone's characters and personalities bc its been awhile since I've been invested in lifesteal (i found s6 kinda boring and I didn't even try with s7 sorry LMAO) but wemmbu to me comes across as cunning and manipulative

like minute has said before, (pardon if this is off, my memory of this is rusty) wemmbu will use you and then just discard and throw you out when he's done and minute knows that better than anyone. So that to me is immediately giving off Tarrlok and Azula. I know their bending isnt the source of their personalities, rather its how they were raised, BUT it's how they use their bending that I think would be the similar to wemmbu's

Clown's already a bloodbender in this au why not have another? (Thats not happening......probably)

or Firebending to contrast Minute's metalbending! I can imagine Wemmbu burning Minute through his armour or something

im actually surprised no one has dont that before

heres my little doodles thoughts of some interactions between them :3c more explanations and thoughts in cut

YEAAHHHHH

Me and my sibling discussed and we both agree that minute would be an earth bender yk cuz he's a tank in most fights and it kinda fits his vibes.

As for leo, probably water bending, fits his personality more than fire, although his main fighting tactic is minecarting sooo maybe fire if you lean more into fight based abilities.

Let me know if i should stop or on the other hand if you'll need help!!

RAHH THIS IS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU(dont stop this was actually great and got the gears in my head turning)

ur right minute does have that earthbender energy especially with his personality like how hes like stubborn as rock at being set to be the hero

i did consider making him a lightningbender at one point cause of his name like MinuteTech like electricity or something but i was like "no thats stupid—"

For leo though his personality and vibe does fit that of a waterbender and honestly kinda suits him more but like idk i kinda thought it would be funny to make him a combustion bender cause of his minecart (if i do make him a combustion bender i would kinda have to design the tattoo thing on his forehead and thats a whole other thing and its likee i dont really wanna do thaattt)

(and something i just realized)

Honestly making the PMC from like all the nations (minus air ig) would be kinda cool and might highlight their power as team cause Clowns a waterbender, Minutes an earthbender, Leos a Firebender(hard maybe)

If i lean into that i feel like they'd have the vibe of the Triple Threat Triad from tlok(but like deadlier)

So about atla au (i think I'm getting brain worms about this), is Kaboodle gonna be back at some point in the story? Are all airbenders dead in your au too and who is avatar if there is?

Also saw the minutech art and tags, since he's an earthbender can't he just be blind? Or is it too similar to atla?

Hihi :3 Yes Kab DOES come back i dont have like the story/timeline like fully written out but she wants to face clown and take revenge on him for their tribe, for what he did to her. Kab and Clown did trained and learned everything together but she finds clown practicing/learning bloodbending; a forbidden form of waterbending without her. Clown was breaking the rules and his sister's heart and trust and she wants to get back at him for that.

(i explain it in a less lore-y storytelling way below :3c)

And on where she kinda appears again: Kab has somewhat mastered waterbending lives in republic city with maddy(millkberry), someone she met in republic city and is now really close friends with! The taking revenge on Clown is distant thing to her. She just wants to live normally in the city making friends and not worrying about her crazy bloodbending brother. Until one day shes out late at night and spots some fighting going on in an alleyway, more importantly, someone getting bloodbent by none other than the infamous ClownPierce.

(Ive actually been thinking of giving clown a normal name in this au instead of just like CLOWN LMAO i dont remember if i mentioned this anywhere i think i did??)

For the airbenders thing they aren't dead infact ive been thinking of making parrot one (IM SO ORIGINAL I KNOW WHO THOUGHT THE BIRD GUY WOULD BE AN AIRBENDER /S)

For who the avatar is? i dont really know/I havent really decided cause the au is set in the more modern-ish tlok era. It has crossed my mind to make spoke the avatar just for funsies but likee idk,,,

Also it did cross my mind to make minute blind but its like ehh?? i dont really want to and yeah its a bit too similar to toph

tech still has a ton of metal in it n stuff, plus earthbending bonus
