#atla warriors au

[zukos-tiny-burnt-ear]

Alright! Another warriors au scene redraw. This is Aang's introduction in the first episode. My sister thought I should make him a sphinx cat (which is fair but I just really didn't want to draw a naked cat with tattoos). But I already had something in mind. For Airclan cats, once they master Airbending, they are presented to Spiritclan (this au's equivalent to Starclan), and given their warrior name, as well as an arrow-shaped marking on their forehead, signifying Spiritclan's blessing and acknowledgement that they've become full warriors

While Zuko finishes apologizing to the Kyoshi Warriors, Sokka gives a shiny rock to the pretty lady.

Thinking abt the air nomads:

What if, after the war, once the dust has settled a little, Aang goes back to travelling, hoping that maybe he can find at least some trace of surviving airbenders. As an added bonus, he gets to do more of the exploring and wandering that he had to put on hold.

Toph goes with him ofc. She only just got a taste of real freedom and it was overshadowed by ever-present impending doom. While she's on speaking terms with her parents, she isnt quite ready to be back under their roof on a permanent basis. The rest of the gaang have their individual homes and responsibilities that they get back to, though they join for the odd field trip or adventure when they can.

So anyway, they're touring all over the world and over the years they notice just how displaced so many people have become. EK citizens who barely escaped the blaze but lost everything; FN military now decommissioned with no idea how to carry on; people looking for a new start in the hard-won peace. Maybe it starts with Toph heading back to Earth Rumble, where a group of young runaways scrounge for cheap fights to make a little money.

At each turn they find more and more people with no homes to return to and no family to protect them; runaways escaping the roles the war forced them into. Gradually, Aang and Toph start to see that they aren't so different from themselves. They just want a new start.

So they decide to give them one. They clean up the temples and set up villages in the surrounding areas (helps to be master earthbenders), where people can arrive and stay as long as they need. Travellers and refugees pass through in droves, sometimes choosing to stay and rebuild their lives there, sometimes continuing in their wandering with a guarantee that they'll always have a place to return to should they have the need.

Over time, the lemurs grow in number and even some flying bison calfs (hybrids with a relative species maybe?), can be seen in the skies. Whenever the founders visit, it isn't the same but Aang feels a little more at home.

The first time someone asks Aang to teach him his philosophies, and expresses his desire to become a monk, how can he refuse? Maybe it's a former soldier, somebody who's done terrible things, looking for a path to redemption. So Aang teaches him, and then he teaches others. And though they may not be airbenders, they are as earnest and faithful as any nun or monk Aang knew before. The temples become filled with new faces: Firebenders, Earthbenders, Waterbenders and non-benders all wearing Air nomad orange and yellow.

Aang always feared that it would be his responsibility to have airbender children, and the idea of forcing that on someone he loved terrified him. Maybe that's why he waited so long before acting on his feelings for his best friend, his travelling companion, his fellow-village builder and temple-restorer. How could they have a truly happy relationship with this pressure hanging over them? He wishes he could be content with the new way of things that he and his friends have created. But he knows that he can't be the last airbender forever...

Nobody knows why some children can bend the elements and others can't. Is it blood? Is it blessing? Is it the land in which you're born? Or is it the simple allocation of fates decided by the values and norms you're raised believing in? Is it enough to be surrounded by the culture and beliefs of the Air Nomads? Nobody knows...

All they know is that nobody sees it coming when the six-year-old daughter of two non-bender villagers from the Earth Kingdom and Northern Water Tribe sends herself flying twelve feet into the air with a sneeze.

#oops it became a taang au how did that happen #i just think it wld be neat if the air nomads worked more like irl monks/nuns #not necessarily celibate but still made up of people who choose to follow the way of life #instead of the iffy implications of all monks/nuns having no choice because they were born airbenders #i dunno it's iffy to me #taang #my posts #atla #atla headcanon #do we need to rewatch Ice Age 2 ppl?? #repopulation is not a good reason for two people to be together! #avatar: the last airbender #i do also think that given them being nomads the fire nation probably want able to wipe the air nomads out completely #bu they just had to survive in hiding/ in a very diluted form #maybe like the sun warriors do #airbender!Ty Lee my beloved #also wld reflect the themes of unity vs division well if there were more than just airbenders among the air nomads #like how a waterbender can be a ruler of the Fire Nation or a Firebender can run a tea shop in the Earth Kingdom #toph x aang #edited cos someone got upset at my introduction and while i reckon they were willfully misreading i didnt want anyone to misconstrue #to clarify -> any child of aang's wld be an air nomad but there's no guarantee they wld be an airbender #esp if he had a child with an earth or waterbender #and we see how this had a negative effect in canon #hope that clears things up xx

Ok but in a modern AU, this squad would have 100% roleplayed Warrior Cats with each other and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Mai is that emo girl who hisses at people in algebra class.

Azula gets sent to the principal’s office for biting.

Zuko adamantly denies participating in this but is secretly the most into it, has a notebook full of drawings of his catsona.

Ty Lee licks her wrists like a cat and says “rawr xd” (yes including the xd out loud).

They would be peak 2000s middle school cringe and I’m here for it.

to leave the sun behind

summary: the gaang is about to leave the sun warrior civilization after aang spends a few weeks learning there. katara has a goodbye to make. she really doesn't want it to be goodbye.

other notes: didn't come up in the fic itself but this is an au in which ozai never gave the stipulation that zuko could be un-banished if he captured the avatar, which is why he did not do All That. instead, iroh took him to the sun warriors. also, yes there is a work study joke in here. if atla can make jokes about not qualifying for vacation time then i can do this also! (i think i am much funnier than i am.)

It's their final night staying at the ruins of the Sun Warriors—not so ruined, as it turns out. They had planned to stay for longer, and Katara still thinks maybe they should—Aang has been training every day, with the warriors and with the dragons, but there's still so much more he could learn. With the comet still months away, though, Sokka had finally pointed out that there were people searching for them, and if they didn't want this secret, ancient civilization to be destroyed for real as Azula and company pursue the Avatar, then it’s time for them to leave.

There's a banquet being held in honor of their departure tonight. They pull out a large table of stone and set with golden and orange gems, and the rice and kimodo chicken is piled high atop it.

It's genuinely a lovely evening—she smiles as she watches Sokka and Aang try their best to pretend the spices aren't getting to them, and as Toph answers questions about badgermoles from Iroh—but Katara can't help but notice someone missing and ducks out a little early, making an excuse out of an imaginary headache.

Really, though, Katara is making her way to a familiar room of stone, preparing to say a final goodbye to the Sun Warriors' apprentice.

When she and the others first arrived, it was him that found them stranded after Aang first set off a floor of spikes and looked back at the rest of their group with alarm.

The apprentice had looked at them with an unimpressed, quirked brow but didn't seem otherwise perturbed, reversing the trap and leading them to the warriors and to his uncle. From there, Aang had been judged worthy to study under the dragons and the warriors themselves.

Zuko trains with them, too, every day, diligent. All these weeks, he'd barely said three words in front of the others, but the second night, unable to sleep, Katara had stumbled across him late in the evening, practicing on his own. When he'd spotted Katara, she had reeled back at first—he seemed like too much of a loner to want company—but he'd raised his brow again, like a challenge. They'd spent the evening sparring with their respective elements, water meeting fire blow for blow, the blood in her veins soaring as they did.

After, they'd spoken until the sun was nearly risen. She'd regaled him with the stories of her travels, and he was mostly quiet, still, but when she asked questions, he answered.

Yes, he and his uncle used to be royalty, and his father was the Fire Lord as the Warriors said. No, he didn't leave home because he wanted to; he was banished. No, he no longer wanted to go back. No, he didn't want to talk about it. Yes, he'd been training with the Warriors for years.

Katara didn't ask about the scar, but her thumb ran gentle circles over it when she first kissed him.

Things have gone on like that for a handful of weeks they've been here, sparring and learning new moves from each other, talking, and kissing, sneaking away moments in the dead of night or when the others are distracted.

And now...

"I'm going to miss you," she sighs against his lips after he lets her in. His eyelashes flutter open.

"Don't say that," Zuko says wryly. "You'll give me the wrong idea." He leans back down.

"Maybe it isn't so wrong," Katara says, a little breathless as he kisses down her neck. "You could come with us, you know." She pauses. Wait. That's brilliant. Then, Aang could keep learning, and it wouldn't feel like half her soul was being torn in half as she left. (How did things happen this quickly? How does it feel like she aches wherever and whenever he's not touching her?) "You should come with us!"

Zuko freezes, looking into her eyes searchingly.

"What? Why?"

"I'm serious," Katara insists, placing her hands against his chest. Maybe he doesn't want that. "Aang's learned a lot while he's been here, training with you and the other sun warriors," she adds, feeling a little pathetic even as she hopes the argument convinces him. Zuko now looks unsure and rigid.

"I'm not a teacher," Zuko insists, his voice sounding sort of hollow. "I'm not even officially a Sun Warrior yet."

"Oh, you are in everything but name; all the elders say it," she points out. "You're just not old enough yet. You'll be of age soon, and then you will be." Katara purses her lips as he takes in her words. "Maybe this will help. You know. Hands-on experience. Like a work-study?"

Zuko laughs, some of the tension bleeding out of his gaze as he does. The sound of it is light and breathy and lovely. Katara likes that she can make him laugh. She's only ever seen his uncle accomplish it, otherwise.

"You can teach Aang," Katara promises. "You're better than you know."

His eyes don't quite meet hers, but they haven't let go of each other's embrace. "Don't say things you don't mean."

"Zuko?" She uses her fingertips to tilt his chin up, though he still avoids her gaze. "I mean it."

His eyes swim with an emotion she can't name. Katara waits for his answer, hopefully seeming more patient and less desperate than she feels.

"I'll come," Zuko says finally, the words wrapping around her like a promise. "I'll teach the Avatar. If that's... if that's what you want."

She sighs. Oh. He thinks that's all she wants. That's easily solved, then.

Katara leans her forehead against his. Time dwindles down. It is just them in here. "I want you with me," she admits as his hands tighten ever so slightly against her waist. "That's what I want."

Zuko captures her mouth in a long, gentle kiss before pressing their foreheads together again.

"I'll go wherever you are."

Lu Ten lives. Iroh, in a last ditch effort, took him to the Sun Warriors, because he knew the Masters could help his son. Lu Ten survived, but Iroh had to leave him there.

(Also, note that Lu Ten and Zuko are known as Angi' Chosen, I'll elaborate later)

Cue like...seven? I think? years later, Aang and Zuko arrive. everyone is acting weird around Zuko, but he just doesn't fucking get it, until his cousin, who Zuko had thought was dead, walks from deep within the temple.

Lu Ten has lived among the Masters for years, bathing in their flame and dressed in their scale, and he's alive.

Zuko stands there, for a while, before, infront of Aang, the Sun Warriors, even the Dragon's, he burst into tears.

Lu Ten comforts him, and in the end, the boys get the Masters blessing, but Lu Ten stays.

Zuko says goodbye to his cousin, thinking he won't see him until after they defeat the Firelord. Then, at the last moment, as Azula charges lightning, pointing toward Angi's Chosen, two great beasts, a mess of blue and red and flame and storm and fire itself, decend opon the battle field.

[zukos-tiny-burnt-ear]

Alright, i wanna talk about my atla warrior cats au so this is a post about it

First of all, im not sure just how familiar yall are with warrior cats, but basically its a really long kids'/adolescents' book series about four (or five) clans of feral cats that live in the woods and fight each other over territory. Important notes are, there is a cat heaven called starclan where (most of) the dead cats go, and starclan can grant nine lives to the leaders of each clan. The leaders appoint a deputy who is second in line and takes over after the leader loses all their lives, there are warriors who make up the majority of each clan, apprentices who are warriors in training (for 6 months to 1 year old), and kits (who are kittens, under 6 months). There are also technically healers referred to as medicone cats, but they dont fit so well into my au so i have a workaround. Apprentices all have the suffix -paw until they earn their warrior name, and leaders all have the suffix -star. Addtionally, there are cats that don't live in the clans, which consist of rogues and loners, and kittypets. For the sake of i literally cannot figure out how to fit them in, i am not including kittypets in this au

Ok, now that the important info is oit of the eay let's get into it! (Under the cut)

So, there are four clans based of course on the four nations, Waterclan, Earthclan, Fireclan, and Airclan. Waterclan's leader is chief Arnook, renamed Polarstar for the au. The deputy is Hakoda, or Blizzardclaw. Earthclan is led by king Kuei (Sweetstar - subject to change), and the deputy is Long Feng (Stoneflash).

Fireclan of course is led by Ozai (Smokestar), and the deputy position actually changes paws a few times. Before zuko's banishment, the deputy position is held by Iroh (Dragonblaze), but he steps down when he joins his nephew in his exile. After that, Smokestar appoints Zhao (originally Cinderburn) as deputy. When he goes on his mission to kill the moon, he goes and changes his name to Moonhunter. Now, it isn't unheard of or warriors to hange their names to something that fits better, but they kinda have to be approved by the leader and starclan. In this case, it was not and was just something he did of his own accord. Not very plot relevant, i just think it's silly. Anyway, after he gets taken out by the ocean spirit, Smokestar appoints Azula (Emberspark) as the next deputy. Fireclan's leadership/deputyship system operates where once the leader's oldest kit earns their warrior name, they become deputy and are next in line to become leader. So when Zuko (Blazeheart) returns to Fireclan territory after helping Emberspark take Ba Sing Se, Emberspark steps down and Blazeheart becomes deputy. Until of course he leaves his clan and joins the avatar (ava-cat?), then Emberspark is reinstated as deputy.

Anyway moving on lol. So Airclan is a little different, sicne there's only one Airclan cat left. Aang (Windpelt, originally) by default is the Airclan leader. When he, Katara, and Sokka visit the southern air temple in the early episodes, and he realizes he is the last Air-cat, Windpelt gets to go through his leadership ceremony, and is given his nine lives, one of which is given by Monk Gyatso (Galestar). After this event, his name is changed to Windstar, and he is officially one of the four clan leaders

Due to the very spread out nature of the clans, the leaders are not able to oversee every single ceremony that goes on within their clans. Instead, each camp (basically each town or area they visit) has a cat theyve appointed to act as a "leader" and take care of apprentice ceremonies, naming ceremonies, etc. For example, Gran Gran (Sealfur) would be the acting leader for the southern Waterclan camp, or King Bumi (Quartzeye) would be the acting leader for Omashu.

Additionally, due to the clans being spread out, none of the clans would have designated healers or medicine cats, instead part of every cats' warrior training would involve a bit of healing so thy can all provide first aid for themselves and their clanmates. Certain Water-cats would still have healing abilities, it'd just be in a different fashion to traditional cat medicine, and these Water-cats would be renowned for their healing.

Non-bending cats would be versed in what I've been referring to as claw-combat. Bending cats are able to rely much more on their elements when fightingn whereas non-bending cats get to use their teeth and claws more to fight. I also think these cats do utilize weapons and tools. For example i believe Snowtail would still have his boomerang (a little kitty boomerang lol), and eventually learn to use a sword.

This au's version of starclan would be referred to as spiritclan, and would be also the same as the spirit world. The Avatar (ava-cat? I really am wondering if i should call them the ava-cat lol) is then the bridge between the cat clans and spiritclan.

I've also been toying with the idea that each clan cat recieves a mark from spiritclan when they earn their warrior name. I've already decided hat Airclan cats recieve a sort of arrow shaped mark in their fur, and i think Waterclan cats also recieve a mark (probably a crescent moon). Im thinking maybe Fireclan cats could recieve perhaps flame-shaped stripes on their cheeks? (Like tabby markings, but more like fire almost. Still not sure). Not entirely sure what id give Earthclan cats, but i believe the mark would be on their legs/paws. Basically i just think it'd be cool lolol.

Regarding appa and momo, i really think they would be left pretty much the same (except i think momo would have to be smaller, maybe a mousebat instead of a flying lemur - lemurs are simply too large when compared to cats). However the cats do typically hunt animals like momo, which i think could lead to some silly goofy moments. Windstar would still be vegetarian i think, for silly's sake, and his friends dont eat momo out of respect for him, but they definitely want to.

That's pretty much all of the world-building info that i have thought of so far, i have a few thoughts on some specific cats/characters but this post is long enough i think lol. I'll probably post those in the future but I'll leave it at this for now

🗡Wingmaidens as Kyoshi warriors🗡

{Atali, Minden and.. random Wingmaiden girlXD from my Avatar AU, in which I tried to guess what the original HTTYD story would look like if the characters had abilities from the "Avatar: The last Airbender" universe}

About the facts:

●Like the original Kyoshi Warriors, they are predominantly non-benders.

●And like the original Wingmaidens, the goal of their tribe is to protect the Razorwhip specie.

And about their design I had doubts, bc it seems pretty uncomfortable to fly in these huge skirts.. But I made at least the lower parts of them removable to they could take it off before flying))

And the part I leaved from the original Kyoshi makeup is lining above the eyes, since it resembles Razorwhip's "eyebrow" things)

Btw, I thought for a long time about how these girls would call themselves in this AU.. I mean, they cannot be "Kyoshi" warriors, since there was no Kyoshi in this world:,D

I held a vote on Instagram about this some time ago and many were in favor of leaving them Wingmaidens, bc it still fits and sounds cool)))

There were also options "Winged warriors" or "Razorwhip warriors", if you have other options, I would be interested to read))

lu atla au Warriors and Legend

I have Warriors as a Shiekah Warrior. He's not a bender. @anicomicqueen suggested Warriors as a Kyoshi Warrior, so I have a couple sketches of that too, even though I ended up going in a different direction.

Tentatively, I have Legend as the rightful heir to the throne and a fire bender. I was thinking that Four could be a bit like the Mechanist, in that he invents the air balloons and such, but he's been fighting me every step of the way so...

Also Firelord Ganondorf

It goes something like 100 years ago a warlord (Ganondorf I?) conquered the Fire Nation and set himself up as Firelord. However, someone from the royal family escaped and that leads to Legend. During this time, a faction of the Shiekah (who work for the royal family) splinter off and support the conquerer and become the Yiga.

The remains of the Shiekah are pushed from the Fire Nation and end up regrouping and settling in the land surrounding the Western Air Temple. Too weak to actually oppose the new regime themselves, they mostly keep tabs on the the Fire Nation and have an ongoing feud with the Yiga.

Anyways, back to Legend and Warriors. I think Legend is also staying with the Sheikah and when news of the Avatar's return they volunteer to find him to let him know he has allies. Their bad at being diplomats, though, and initially appear to be enemies to team Avatar. Shenanigans ensue.
