battles are conducted with the press turn system, where at the start of each round you receive a number of actions equal to the number of characters in your battle party. a normal act / ion consumes one press icon, but inflicting a critical hit or attacking the enemy' s weakness only consumes half a press icon. thus, by attacking the enemy' s weaknesses you maximize the number of turns you get in one round. unfortunately, attacking an enemy with an element that it nullifies - or missing entirely - consumes two press icons, and if the enemy repels or absorbs the attack you lose all your press icons. this also applies in reverse; the enemy can attack your weak points to win additional actions for itself and loses actions if you defend yourself correctly. this battle system would go on to be used in digital devil saga and in a scaled - down form - the

as a result of korra leaving the spirit portals opened, spirit wilds began to overtake the city, thoroughly disrupting city life by forcing many people out of their homes, tampering with the public water service, and blocking several streets. for two weeks, korra attempted to remove the vines from the buildings and streets though discovered that, when agitated, they simply regenerated quicker and stronger than before. eventually, she concluded that the spirits and vines should stay in their place. however, this was not to the liking of president raiko, who, fed up with the destruction that followed in the wake of the avatar, ordered her to leave the city.

with pete, it actually gets fairly weird, considering wisdom goes on to take kitty pryde' s virginity, when kitty was, at the time, only just turning 18 (and even there, it was ellis who established her as such, as her actual age wasn' t clear before and previously she' d been depicted as 13 - 15). it leads to some really weird implications considering he fully admits wisdom being an author avatar .

does anyone have any avatar stuff coming to their shops? online stores? both my shops haven' t gotten anything and no word about anything either. i tweeted rich johnston asking if there was an update, he replied

located in the city' s central peninsula, avatar korra park, formerly known as republic city park, is landscaped with small hills, deciduous trees shading impeccably kept grass, and fine stone arch bridges. due to the poverty of a large number of republic city citizens, the city park has also become a place popular with vagabonds such as gommu, whom korra met soon after her initial arrival in the city. fishing in the ponds here is strictly prohibited by the park officials, who patrol it to ensure that all civilians bide by this rule .
the fire nation is located on an archipelago of tropical volcanic islands, many still active, that give the nation an unlimited source of power. because of a warm and humid climate, the fire nation is home to a variety of native flora and fauna, though the main islands largely consist of rough, grassy plains bearing little wildlife. few travel to the fire nation, and no invasion had ever been mounted against it until team avatar and some of their allies from the earth kingdom and water tribe attacked the mainland during the day of black sun in 100 ag. [ 5 ]
after avatar wan closed the spirit portals, the humans began to wage war among themselves, [ 7 ] eventually spreading out across the landmass to establish villages all over the archipelago. the sun warriors civilization flourishes and develops original firebending techniques from dragons, but eventually goes into hiding, leaving great cultural and architectural influence on the later fire nation. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] the disaggregated states were collectively known as the fire islands and controlled by warlords, who regularly engaged in conflict for territory. among these warlords was toz, who was renowned for mandating annual tributes from all of the villages under his control .

during the hundred year war, the fire nation military was the strongest of the four nations. using a fiery comet that greatly enhanced their powers, they succeeded in wiping out the air nomads early in the war, and though the fire nation fought on two fronts against the water tribes and the earth kingdom, they still maintained the upper hand. as the war dragged on, it became clear that the fire nation would eventually win if the avatar did not intervene; the water tribe did not have the military might to directly challenge the fire nation, and the vast earth kingdom had lost its last great military stronghold to the fire nation. [ 34 ]
republic city is the capital city of the united republic of nations as well as one of the largest and most modern cities in the world, [ 5 ] with a population of millions. [ 6 ] located on the shores of yue bay, it is built upon what was once the territory of a fire nation colony and was founded by fire lord zuko and avatar aang after the conclusion of the hundred year war as a haven for immigrants from all across the four nations. [ 7 ] being a modern urban center, republic city boasts significant high - rise development as well as the widespread use of automobiles, motorcycles, and airships. [ 8 ]
in 0 ag, the air nomads were the victims of genocide at the hands of the fire nation. ironically, the sole known survivor of the massacre was the very person the fire nation sought to kill in its quest for supremacy: the twelve - year - old airbender and avatar, aang, who had run away from the southern air temple shortly before the hundred year war began and became trapped in suspended animation in a globe of ice along with his lifetime friend, appa. [ 3 ] one hundred years later, he was awakened and released by katara and sokka, who helped him succeed in his quest to restore balance and peace to the warring nations.
