While watching Sozin's comet again, I was surfing through some upcoming movies on the menu, when I saw the movie, "Twin Dragons." For some reason, I immediately thought of the possibility of twin avatars. Do you think that while the child destined to be the avatar is in the egg, the egg could split? Would the twins share power?(Which would make the world more vulnerable, because power in just one person is better) Or one gets all of the power? Or would it even happen?

As far as we know, there is only ONE avatar at a time, so this doesn't seem like something that would happen in the avaverse...If it did, it seems like it would have major, earth-shattering consequences, so a writer would have to think VERY carefully before doing something like that.

I would think only one of them would be the Avatar.

And i think no, there can be only one avatar, on avatar state, only one person can keep balance, if there were 2 people to keep balance then they'd probably fight over power, or not seeing as how they are avatars, but if they did, AMV material, and who would go avatar state first? ~Dizzy~

Well, wasn't it that the first baby born in the next cycle within a week after the Avatar's death should be the Avatar? Or something along those lines, I don't remember it very well, so if anybody does, please correct me ... I think I read it at Nick.com, I'm not sure though. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that twins aren't born at the same time -..-". One has got to be first and I think that that's the moment when the Avatar is born. I think the child destined to be the Avatar will become the Avatar when he or she is born... I don't think that that the next Avatar will have the Avatarspirit while being a zygote or an embryo. Sure, it might have been its destiny, but I don't think it will be decided at that point... this is confusing ... O.O I think these might be the questions Bryke haven't thought of... Questions like this one and "Why was it winter in the northern hemisphere too while it was winter in the southern?"... It's quite a nice topic though.

Well, at least that last one can be answered- seasons differ from west to east, not north to south.

^^ That doesnt sound quite right to me. I mean, consider the difference in seasons between say Russia and Australia. Still, I may be wrong on this one.

There's only one Avatar Spirit though..., so even if there were twins, one spirit can't embody two bodies.
Now if you start talking about Siamese twins, I'm going to ignore you.

I completely agree with both Horyo and atla bender. There's only one spirit, and only one twin can be born at a time. Good points brought up.

Well, at least that last one can be answered- seasons differ from west to east, not north to south. I don't agree. Wasn't it that time-zones differ from west to east? Seasons differ from north to south. Roughly said: When it's winter in the northern hemisphere it's summer in the southern because basically the earth is situated diagonally in space and the sun's rays will "focus" themselves on the southern hemisphere. Then the earth turns and turns and turns and when six months have passed, it'll be summer in the northern hemisphere. Or.... something along these lines.... And if I'm incorrect... then it still wouldn't make sense. Cuz, the seasons in Avatar were the same from west to east as well You're not serious, right? They're born together... but still one at a time, right? Wait... no.. what if the heads are jointed.. is that they will be born at the same time... I don't hope so... I hope the first one will enter the world with his/her feet and the second one with his/her head Then... it would be possible, but tiring for both if one is the Avatar... -..- And if they're born together as the Avatars.... I'm seriously gonna do something to the one who animated it... *sighs* Munchkinator: Thanks

This topic is very interesting...if twins were born, and the firstborn was the Avatar (because both cannot be Avatar, obviously) that would cause a lot of issues...it's like firstborn of twins becomes King, right? That has to be cause tension between twins. I would love to see a story about twins being born, but only one is Avatar. It's like the twins from "The Fortuneteller;" the non-earthebending twin cannot be too pleased. It is the same with the Avatar, but only a grander scale.

Well we really can't say the first born would get the Avatar Spirit. Although you do have an interesting idea.

It's like the twins from "The Fortuneteller;" the non-earthebending twin cannot be too pleased. It is the same with the Avatar, but only a grander scale. I do agree with you that there would be a lot of issues when the older one becomes the Avatar, like the older one has more rights or something. However, this might be the same case with just singletons because the firstborn in the week after the Avatar died becomes Avatar. That could create envy with other children born in the week after the last Avatar.... even if they're not related to the Avatar. But still... in Aang's case, he didn't want to be Avatar, from this point of view it might be hard for the "King" too. Uhm, btw.... does somebody knows that this "theory" is true. Because, like I already stated, I remembered it vaguely. I thought I read something along the lines of: "the firstborn in the week after the Avatar died, is the new Avatar" I don't remember, so it might be incorrect. It would be plausible if it's this way though... I would like to see a new Avatar with a twinbrother/-sister It's quite funny. I hope the creators will make a new series and if they do consider twins to be in it.
