[FFML] [Firefly][ATLA] The Powers in the 'Verse

[skychan]

I definitely see the Core as wanting to controll the Avatar's.  Probably
going so far as to imprison them and or hide them away.  It might even be
the reason or part of one for the war.  Avatars started popping up in the
core as the population grew and planets could support them.  The Blue hands
might even be going around specifically trying to prevent the rise of
benders once more depending on if you wanted to keep the talent very
hidden.

A pervasive generations long effort to wipe them out would be a good enough
reason not to have seen them in the show until 'now'.  Who knows the pax
could be what happened when a worlds avatar was terribly corrupted, or
kidnapped from their world.

I find it more likely that bending would be secret if the government has
for thousands of years hunted down and killed open benders, no matter how
useful.  It would also be a reason why benders might voluntarilly be part
of the outer colonies raising the percentage of benders from .00001 to only
.0001 percent of the populations for example.

It would also give a reason why you might have a world with mostly one or
another type of bender if you wanted for the plot.  A clan of airbenders
hiding out on whitefall for instance, their genes spread through that
native population but still maintaining it as a secret from every other
planet, and certainly not showing it off to travelers.

It could be that Book is actually white lotus and traveling specifically
because he hopes to find an avatar reborn again.
