Yog, we do not want people to know about airbending, at least yet, because it will cause some absolutely massive political ripples. Are we still a worthy candidate to the Throne, as an airbender? What happened to us? Are we a traitor? Are we going to try and avenge the Air Nomads? It's uncertainty. Yeah, we can try spinning it and hope the spirits don't kick up ANOTHER fuss. But this shit has repercussions. God help us all if our First Child isn't a firebender. So, keep a lid on it for now. Lightning should be fine. Air, less so. |

The only reason I could see to hide our airbending would be to keep Ozai's guard down during the Eclipse so that we could question him about Azulon's death without having to deal with a small army of "maids". Otherwise, the beloved princess of the Fire Nation, from the direct line of the man responsible for the Air Nomad's genocide, just received airbending, the blessing of the Wind spirits. Think about how it'll look to the citizens of the other countries for a seconds. This is the greatest political coup in centuries. Edited by Liam-don, Feb 9 2013, 01:04 PM.

Besides, we weren't actually given a choice beyond 'climb this mountain or die'. It's not our fault that Raijin decided to give us airbending because we managed to survive his trial. |

I'll grant you that, if we can sell it to everyone in the right way. If people start wondering if we REALLY have the Fire Nation's best interests at heart though...well, we certainly appear quite loyal but people ain't always reasonable. Still, I suppose full disclosure does that the fangs out of a lot of suspicion. |

I could see this is we had lost firebending. We didn't. Moreover, Raijin told us, directly, that Agni frikking loves us very much. We got an addition. We haven't lost firebending. That needs to be stressed. We obviously need Iroh's help to spin this the right way, but this can be spun the right way. Maybe first we rescind any standing bounty on Air Benders, announcing that with the Avatar being the friend (or at least not the enemy) of our nation, and Air being helpful for fire (fire comes from breath - we can spin this, because we breath air) there is no need to hunt them. And if they pledge their fealty to us, we would welcome them as members of the nation. As long as Ozai supports us and Iroh and White Lotus support us (and ideally Aang supports us) we should be fine. This would need handling, yes. But burying it and hiding it is a bad decision long-term. Very bad one. It is better to suffer from some potential short-term hardships (and they make the life more interesting, as this is a plothook to visit air temples and to delve into air and lightning lore, etc.) so by the time our child is born an airbender (as at least one of them is likely to be), there would be no shame in it. Hell ,we could even spin it as "air is silent - an assassin moving unseen" and "fire is the bright flame - the leader for people to follow". So yes, I am against hiding it, but for handling it with Ozai's and Iroh's help, in order to bend Aang (sorry, bad pun) to our side more firmly and get air benders that remain in the world on our side too. |

Best part is that they aren't aware that the Air Nomad weren't actually favored by Raijin. I have a very strong feeling that we've become the instrument of Raijin's revenge on his brother for letting Raijin's Airbender to die out. Look at it this way, now both Raijin and Fujin have only one Airbender to their name, unlike before when Fujin had all of them with Raijin being only an hanger on. And Raijin's Airbender turn out to be the descendants of the guy who killed Fujin's. That's one hell of a slap in the face. |

We burn the first person to imply that in public, in view of the whole court. We'd be perfectly within our right to do so, and that'll solve both the question of whether we're still worthy pf the thrione and whether we're becoming some sort of peaceful hippy. |

Oh, haven't thought about this. But yeah. This is a political coup. Great one.
We could spin this as "as our nation is uniting the world, so too have we united the bendings. This commits us to getting water and earth too, though. Which is a bad decision. But the idea that we represent the idea of our Nation - coexistence united under one direction is a great symbol. |

If comics have weight here, there are some air benders in hiding right now. If we can get them on our side, improve their situation and get them bending lightinng, we get both Fuujin's (helped his people) and Raijin's favor (they bend lightning again!)
Agreed. |

Actually, let's make it an Agni Kai. Official one. With bells and whistles. Given everything, I would not be surprised if Agni himself has graced that event with his attention. Given that he loves us. As told to us by Raijin himself. |

I'm not so sure that when he said:
Raijin meant Agni likes us. I think it's another reference to Dragon!Azula. Dragon's are called the children of Agni so I think he's saying that since Azula is so close to been a dragon that Agni has a better grip/tie/link on her then a regular firebender. This was probably the only reason we didn't loose Firebending (or at least have to choose between the two). Edited by UberJJK, Feb 9 2013, 01:18 PM.

Could be. We should also start planning in case of "and then suddenly I turned into a dragon" situation. Which may happen. Like during the comet's arrival. When our fire is supercharged. Oh, and who thinks that now (in the close future) may be a good time to bring those midwife's tales to Ozai's attention, since he had his picture of the world shattered into many tiny pieces by the fist of an angry god? He's much more likely to believe it. And he does love his children. |

Which is why we'd definetly want to run any plans by Iroh first since the Owl might be able to sense that we're part of the White Lotus and thus an enemy. Anyone else thinking about working out a lightning saber skill? OTOH the fire edge skill is already capable of cutting through most if not all resistence so that might be something of a waste of time. Oh and this is somewhat late, but I'm extreamly glad that Iroh is on our side and not teaching Aang how to shut down firebenders' fires. We should talk to Iroh later on about what he did in that spar. |

There is a potentially major issue with the whole dragon thing. Azula is pretty draconian already so I get the feeling any children she has with Zuko will probably end up as Dragons. This poses problems for both producing a valid heir and our deal with Navi. |

Ozai has access to more authority and resources. He loves his children. If he believes that his grandchild may end up being a dragon (or that Azula can turn into one at some point), he'll help with the situation, or at least try to. |

Actually, I'd go as far as to say that this is much less likely to be a problem than previously thought. IF it was a serious danger, than Navi would have known about it, and constructed the deal differently. Given she's able to build herself a body, I suspect she may also be able to ensure that Azula's children come out human shaped. Edited by Alratan, Feb 9 2013, 01:33 PM.

I'm not sure this is something he can help with. I think we'd either need to use the VoC to ask a dragon to train us or visit the library and see if there's information there. I also rather suspect that the airbending may help with this. Raijin is going to want future generations of them. On a complete side note, I wonder what esoteric bullshit techniques are possible with airbending. We've had internal lightning bending confirmed as possible, so I wonder if intelligence enhancement would be possible, similar to how the Divine Right enhances charisma. |

As for the when, can't have been too long given how Ty Lee, Mai and Toph at least are still there and only the yandere was seriously worried. The others were probably still too stunned by Raijin coming right the fuck out of nowhere for the worry to properly settle in. |

Hey, now that I think about it, no one slipped a word to Bumi about the eclipse, yet he took advantadge of it to boot the FN out of his city. In like, 8 minutes. That implies that that knowledge isn't as weel guarded as Ozai thinks. Possibly every White Lotus member knows about it. And if there's a single one among Fong's or the Long Feng's entourage... |

As of now I don't really see any upside to Bumi throwing out the fire nation during the eclipse. We would just come back when the eclipse ended and his city would suffer for it. He has to know better than to do that solo. Unless there is some overarching conspiracy for him to work with I don't see him overthrowing us. |

So I was rereading some stuff. Just got to Toph being electrocuted and a bit beyond when I found this interesting tidbit.
Well....we are now of Air. Lightning, to be specific. So we are probably considerably more resistant to the effects of Lightning. Something, I don't think Nerve Enhancement will require quite so much hospitalization. Maybe not something we should pursue soon, but it is something to keep in mind now that one of the main reasons not to pursue it has been heavily mitigated. |

Yeah. If learning heat manipulation on our own before the Comet would take a veritable miracle and total focus, Nerve Enhancement probably isn't happening. But later, perhaps. Honestly, at this point I'd favor integrating air and fire bending styles so we can use both sides of the techniques relatively interchangeably. Start the synergy process now. Also, it occurs to me the air bending and butterfly danmaku would go together crazy well. Awesome! Edited by Hymn of Ragnarok, Feb 9 2013, 03:08 PM.

Still gotta worry about fumes and the like though. They've killed Avatars, doncha know? I'm thinking we might be able to use oxygen to help feed our flames though. Fire and air in tandem, working together to fuel hotter flames. Best of all, if this works it will become an arrangement that Yosei may even enjoy. Might make her dislike Air less. |
