Which Avatar Character are You?

Find out @ Distant Horizon.

Aang is the main protagonist in the show.The reincarnation of the avatar.The Avatar is the only person in the world who can master all four elements.
Before the start of the show he was trapped in the iceberg for 100 years making his chronological age 112.When Aang was a child, he unknowingly revealed that he was the reincarnation of the Avatar when he chose four toys out of thousands--turtle (Water), a string-powered propeller (Air), a Hog Monkey (Earth) and a drum (Fire). These four toys were the same ones that past Avatars had chosen for generations when they were children.He grow up in the southern air temple.Aang was a carefree young boy, given to frequent travel, play, and possessing an almost effortless mastery over his native element.When he was twelve years old, he invented the Airbending technique, the Air Scooter. This act caused the monks to decree him an Airbending master, and he received the blue arrow-shaped tatoos that all masters wear. His world drastically changed when the monks revealed that he was the Avatar, destined to master all four elements and bring peace to the world.Aang is fun-loving, somewhat naive and adventurous. He possesses a deep respect for life and freedom; refuses to eat meat and is often reluctant to fight. He craves the stimulation of new people and places. His frequent off-course detours frustrate both allies and pursuers alike. Yet Aang has always prided himself on a complex social network of friends extending over all four nations, and war will not stand in his way.Usually, the Avatar is told of his or her true identity only after turning sixteen; however, Aang's caretakers feared that a war between the Four Nations was on the horizon and believed that the Avatar would be needed to help maintain balance. Aang soon began to feel overwhelmed with the burden of his position. His peers ostracized him for his airbending skill, while his caretakers pressured him to mature too quickly.

The only monk sympathetic to Aang's feelings was the elder Monk Gyatso, Aang's Airbending teacher and guardian. When the burden weighed heavily on his favorite student, Gyatso worked to instill a sense of fun through jokes and games. He sincerely believed that Aang should be allowed to grow up as a normal boy. However, the other monks disagreed. Citing Gyatso's attachment to the boy as interference, they decided to send Aang away to the Eastern Air Temple to focus on his training, oblivious to the fact that Aang had overheard their caucus.

Confused and frightened by what he had learned, Aang fled from his home on his flying bison, Appa, towards the South Pole. While over the Southern Ocean, a sudden storm caused Appa to plunge deep into the sea. Entering the Avatar state, Aang reflexively used Airbending to surround himself and Appa in an air bubble that quickly froze into an iceberg, putting them into a state of suspended animation for the next hundred years. In addition, he looks forward to playing with all the exotic fauna in each place he visits. Whether it's penguins, pig hog-monkeys or gigantic eels, no fit animal Aang sees goes un-riddenAs the incarnation of the Avatar, Aang possesses the ability to bend all four elements. He is already an Airbending master and has made impressive progress with the other elements. Though he is able to master techniques with more ease than his young Waterbender friend Katara, his lack of focus has allowed her to surpass him. Now he must learn from her, as their teacher, Master Pakku, deemed her a master. He is an extremely skilled Waterbender, and in the episode "Bitter Work", Katara tells Aang he has the reflexes of a Waterbending Master. That being said, the gap between Katara and Aang in water bending ability appears to be getting narrower, as Katara continues to show great waterbending prowess.

"AVATAR TRIVIA"

The movements that Earth Benders use to control the earth are based off of the Hungar Kung Fu martial art.

The four Chinese characters above the title translate to, "The Divine Medium who had descended upon the Mortal World."
