Ancient vatar
By Manuel Cantillo, Secretary
Yoooo! What Up JCLers? Im Baackkk! Did ya miss me? So, I really like Avatar but not those stupid blue people, the Nickelodeon show. And of course, I also love the classics, otherwise I wouldn ' t be writing this( even despite my best efforts to procrastinate it), so I thought I would tell all 12 of us who read The Torch what nation / bending element each of the 12 Olympians belong to.
Alright lets start with big Z, or Zeus, king of the gods. Now it could be easy to say that he would be the avatar because he controls the skies and lightning, but really, who thinks of him as the sky god first and not a thunderbolt? This is why I think he would be a fire bender, specifically, a lightning bender. I ' m imagining him like Iroh but only uses his lightning bending, and a fire bender as well because of the passion they draw from to bend, and Zeus got lots of passion as we know.
Poseidon, duh, water bender. No need to explain. Maybe earth bender for earthquakes but really, he ' s a water bender. Skip Hades because he isn ' t technically an Olympian, sorry to all the Hades fans. Hera, I think she would also be a fire bender because of the extreme lengths she goes for punishments and the severity of punishments to the mortals, I could also see an argument for being an Airbender but her hatred for mortals who Zeus has affairs with is not Airbender like. Athena, no doubt gonna be an Airbender, her wisdom and sign of owl are very airbender-y. As well as the fact that she cares about the outcome of war and does not lust for war like Ares. Speaking of which, I think he would be a Firebender for his lust for war and bloodshed, Aphrodite would also be a Firebender for her passion and love.
Haphestus could be a Firebender, but I think he would rather be an earth bender specifically a lava and metal bender because, you know. Hermes would be an Airbender no doubt about that with his speed and mischievous nature. I think Apollo would have to be a Firebender just because the sun; I could also see water bender as a healer, Airbender for music... so really I think he’ s the best candidate for the Avatar now that I think about it. And then I think Artemis would be a Waterbender, or a Kyoshi warrior. Demeter would be an Earthbender like old Toph is, and Hestia would be a Firebender because of the hearth( duh). And the Vestal Virgins could be the fire sages...?
Alright that ' s all from me this time. Uhm, see you in the next publication? Maybe? Probably. If you see me at nats let me know your opinion on these things.
