I just think the important thing to remember is that Aang will find out. The only question is do we tell him now and be honest about it, or does he find out later through some other means when someone else can frame the narrative?

We don't have airbending though. Not legitimately.

We have lightning bending, and we can pirate wind bending. That's not the same thing.
Alratan, look up. See the stat sheet? Look where our lightning bending is.

We have Airbending. We're just better at using the lighting parts of airbending.

Also, this:

The worst case is that he decides we're an enemy, and he takes one step closer to renouncing pacifism and declaring against the Fire Nation.
Is one of the most hilarious things I've read all week.

We do legitimately have air bending, they are a pair not mutually exclusive, one's just better at the air side while the other is better at the lightning side.

We just suck at aitbending.

Doesn't change the fact that we are an airbender.

Quite honestly, I can see this going either way.

That stuff aside, though, seeing how it is pretty likely that the girl with him is Yue running from her arranged marriage, do you think his visit to the NWT made Aang more succeptible to the idea, that the Fire Nation changing/modernising the world isn't that bad?

We don't legitimately have airbending. We wind bend like we used to lightning bend. We usurp Fuujin's authority over the winds because they are so accustomed to obeying Raijin's power that they don't realise that we have no right to command them.

We can wind bend, just as we could lightning bend, but it's not something we've been granted permission by the appropriate great spirit to do. This puts us in a very different spiritual place to "complete" air benders like Aang who legitimately have the right to bend both lightning and wind.

This is why I'm proposing telling Aang the truth, that Raijin has given us his blessing to our lightning bending, and leave it at that. He doesn't need to know that we can wind bend - and us doing so without Fuujin's blessing may be sacrilegious to him. We can still ask him to demonstrate air bending forms, as wind is the brother of lightning, and it would be unfortunate to dishonour Raijin by channeling his power inappropriately.

We can sit on the fact that we can windbend for a good long time. Given what Zuko can do, it'd be pretty challenging for him to find out.

We've also got more than enough on our plate between fire and lightning without adding wind to the mix as well, so it's hardly the greatest sacrifice to delay learning wind.

Aang didn't want to kill. He ended up reconcling with the idea of being in conflict with people. The first doesn't rule out the second. Aang has also had a much rougher time, in many ways, than in canon.

No Alratan, no. We are now an airbender, no ifs ands or buts. Raijin isn't a lightning spirits, he's a storm spirit. Hence winds being used to taking his command. Fuujin is a wind spirit, but storms kinda include wind. At most I can see us never good at making small amounts of wind.

Idea, since it is a contract with a storm spirit, we may be able to backdoor our way into some waterbending. Heavy rains are generally part of storms after all. Sometimes even snows. Not likely, but it's an idea, we did backdoor our way into airbending after all.

"Bah. Ever were you a fool who would not consider the counsel of others. Do as you please, brother. But she shall not have my blessing."

"Then let her go without it! I care not. The winds will answer the call of my power just as well as to yours, they are so accustomed."

The red clad man waves an arm angrily and stalks off. His glare, when his eyes set upon you, is poison and death.

But he does not raise hand against you as he stalks past, and you feel as though you were a small vermin being passed over by a great and slavering polar bear.

It is the man in blue who clasps his hand upon the top of your head.

"You have survived. Good. Good. And so have you earned my favor. That of Raijin, the thunder and lightning of the storm!" The old man booms.


The wind will answer our call, but only because they don't realise that we have no right to do so, as they're so accustomed to obeying Raijin's power. The only thing we earned was thunder and lightning. Our power to command the wind is based on a fraud. That doesn't stop us doing it, but means that the spiritual/political implications of doing so are very different to an airbender who Fuujin has given legitimate authority to doing the same.

We've explicitly not been given command over the rain or hail that forms from a storm, or the winds it whips up, but we should try to learn to to speak with a voice of thunder though, as that is explicitly included.

So the Airbending on the stat sheet is a lie. That is what you are saying right. The GM is lieing.

So much face palm. We have the right to bend wind as raijin has the right to bend wind. In fact we're one of the only people on the planet with that right. It isn't fraud. The wind cannot ignore Raijin's power anymore then water can ignore Tui's.

All lacking Fuujin's blessings means is that Fuujin doesn't care for us as far as airbending is concerned. He'd have to actively be against us.

Either way, if we are going for wind, I'm going to guess we'd be better at more violent applications of it.

Also, our profile. It says airbender. Our profile is word of god. yeah. Nowhere does it say lightning bender, cause that's not a thing.

Seriously, this is so ridiculous.

This is, literally, what the stat-sheet says:
Quote:
 
Air Bender [4/?]
-"Cold Sky Fire" Lighting manipulation(bending?). [4/???]


If we were a lightningbender with a backdoor to airbending, it would say something like:
Quote:
 
Lightning Bender [4/?]

To which, once we learned some air bending, something like this might be added:
Quote:
 
-Air manipulation(bending?). [x/???]


This, however, is NOT the case.

Instead our stat-sheet says:
Quote:
 
Air Bender [4/?]
-"Cold Sky Fire" Lighting manipulation(bending?). [4/???]


Let's break that down once more, to make absolutely clear what our stat-sheet says.

First it says what kind of bender we are:
Quote:
 
Air Bender [4/?]

If you look closely, it says we're an airbender.


Then it starts listing our advanced airbending techniques:
Quote:
 
-"Cold Sky Fire" Lighting manipulation(bending?). [4/???]

If you look closely, it lists lightning manipulation as an airbending technique, we possess.


Now, here comes the hard part.
From this we can conclude that:
1. We are an airbender.
2. Our lightning manipulation is an airbending technique we possess.

If your still having proplems with this, just take another look at the stat-sheet.

Also, from what I recall of the episode where Aang meets the guys on gliders? His big thing (at first) is that he's disappointed they aren't airbenders. Kid's lonely, wants other airbenders around.

If he finds out we have airbending, he might try converting us to his point of view.
with the way chibi writes aang is probably going to be crazy when we meet him and once he learns we have air bending hes going to lock us up in his basement shave our head and try to pull on us what we did on toph

Why not just be honest and tell Aang that we had airbending forced upon us and that Raijin, brother of Fuujin, decided to bring us to the spirit world and complete his trial or die.

Its not that we actively want to be an airbender, its just that we have to become one or die.

Aang shouldn't get annoyed at our desire to live. If he does... oh dear, we're gonna have problems

We could. And it would be hilarious.

I'll also point out that Yue, being connected to Tui (in this verse I can see her having an arrangement with it like we do with the Butterfly, only maybe without the voice in the head) may, even if it is unlikely, have an authority to grant water bending to people.

And if we impress her enough / she likes us enough, well...

Well, she would have instinctively expected you to, anyway.

But as it turns out, while you have a lot of predator instincts with Dragon heritage... Dragons don't hunt in packs. They're solitary beings, usually. They know how to make lesser predators submit, though.

And feign it enough to get them to back off, if they come off the worse, so that they can win next time.

Some of what nudges Zuul is 'Dragon', sure. Some is 'Pack, run and hunt with other hunters', which doesn't mesh too completely with dragon.

More importantly, you have a lot more experience at keeping dragon, and crazy for that matter, impulses locked down, and you have a bunch of crazy people yelling at you in your subconscious.

So you wouldn't have had to submit, if she ended up with teeth at your throat.

Of course, not submitting is reason in and of itself to bite down.
