In a distant world far removed from ours, civilization was divided into four distinct kingdoms, each representing the four major elements: the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribes and Air Nomads. Within each group are Benders, individuals who can control their home nation’s element through training in their respective martial arts. The only person capable of Bending all four elements is the Avatar, an arbiter whose duty is to enforce balance and harmony between the nations within their lifetimes; upon their deaths, their spirit is reincarnated into their successor, and the cycle begins anew. For centuries, this balance was upheld, but everything changed when the Fire Nation’s rising military might saw them disrupt it completely.

Born in 12 B.G by two Air Nomads, he was selected by the avatar relics from thousands of toys meaning that they have confirmed that he was a chosen avatar by the monks of the southern air temple who kept him secret of his position.

As he was an air nomad, Aang ventured extensively through the massive world. During his childhood, Aang was homed, raised and well-educated in the Southern Air Temple being protected by Monk Gyatso who acted like a father-figure, counsellor and tutor to Aang. As a child, Aang was part of the Air Scouts but then the Air Nomads boy were taken to Eastern Air Temple to learn about where they learn about sky-riding bison Appa. He was offered an apple in which Aang excepted thus to learn about their deep life and lifelong friendship.

With the threat of the Fire Nation growing stronger, Aang, the newest Avatar, was the only one who bore the power that could stand up to the Fire Nation’s increasing influence. However, fearing the responsibilities that would befall him, Aang fled the Air Nomads on his flying bison Appa and encased both of them in an iceberg for 100 years. Within that time period, the Fire Nation wiped out the Air Nomads completely in a vain attempt to kill the Avatar, unaware of Aang’s escape. Believing the Avatar to be dead, the Fire Nation continued its conquest of the world while survivors from the remaining two kingdoms sought to find a way to survive under their oppressive might.

However in Winter 99 A.G, 100 years later Aang was found and was freed from the iceberg underneath a thick ice by a waterbender known as Katara and her brother known as Sokka. Unsure of himself yet knowing that he can no longer run away from his duties, he and his new friends began travelling the world to learn how to bend all four elements and prevent the Fire Nation’s domination from completion. Ultimately, Aang succeeded in fulfilling his role as the Avatar, ushing in an era of peace while being cherished by the hero who saved civilization from crumbling down. Before passing away at the age of 66, he would marry Katara and have three children with her; his spirit would reincarnate itself into a young Waterbender named Korra not long after his death.
