Skill System V2

There are six skills available to choose from here at LOLA. Each skill is unique and can be combined with other skills to make quite useful combinations. Each character starts with one skill at the lowest level and then can train up to three skills of their choice to a level based Untrained to Grand Master. Once you purchase or train up a skill, you cannot trade up, so choose wisely. In addition, each skill has access to sub skills which can further diversify want a person can accomplish.  

Sub skills must be trained and can only be trained up until the point the main skill has been trained. You must be at least EXPERT Level in a main skill tree before to begin able acquire or train sub skills. A person is only capable of acquiring two sub skills. When training two sub skills within the same skill tree the user can raise them UP to Grandmaster level. However, if a person has two sub skills and one of them are in separate main skill tree than the first than they can only master the skill to the Master Level.

For further info on training and acquiring skills and other things refer to the training system found here: Training System





Bending is the ability to manipulate an element and is significant to many aspects of life in the World of Avatar. There are five known bending arts; four of them bend a specific physical element while the fifth bends the energy within the human body itself. The four elemental bending arts are based on the four classical elements, water, earth, fire, and air, and each is manipulated through certain martial art styles which are reminiscent of the qualities of the element itself. While bending is traditionally performed through the motions of one's hands and feet, certain benders are able to effectively manipulate their element with only minimal movement of their body, such as by using just their head or torso. In even rarer cases, benders are able to perform their bending without the aid of any physical movement at all, by instead using sheer focus and force of will, a skill known as psychic bending.

Novice: At this level of skill, you are able to begin to learn sub elements of your primary element. But you cannot learn a secondary element.

Advanced: At this level of skill, you are able to learn a second element, but none of its sub-elements.

Spirituality: Spirituality is the connection of a human to the Spirit World. Those with high levels of Spirituality can see, communicate, and even control spirits. One who has mastered spirituality is even able to bring themselves or others into the spirit world through Astral Projection or to empower themselves with the energy from the spirit world. The spirituality sub skill is usable by both benders and non benders. However for non benders spirituality is accessible through the Constitution Skill tree instead of Bending Skill tree and requires a powerful connection with ones body and spirit.

More advanced users are even able to use their experience and understanding to aid them in learning more advanced forms of bending.
