I came up with two original Avatar characters. One from the currently known new cycle (from Korra on up) and one from the old (Wan to Korra). I even came up with a full story idea for both of them. Forgive me if this should be under fanfiction, only posting it here as it seems fitting since this is not a fanfiction tale.
Name: Avatar Chou
Nationality: Earth Kingdom
Gender: Male
Cycle: New
History: Chou was born in Ba Sing Se and soon grew a passion for the arts and sciences. His dream was to attend Ba Sing Se University so he may learn more about how the universe as well as the two worlds (mortal and spirit) function. After starting his freshmen year in university it was discovered that he was the next Avatar in the new cycle and that he was to cease his academic pursuits imminently to be shipped to his new home to begin his training as the Avatar. After failing to persuade the university to allow him to continue his quest for knowledge while starting his training as the Avatar at the same time. The university denied him in fear that it may make the other students upset.
While depressed about the rejection, Chou tried to remain positive and figured that his time as the Avatar maybe just what he needed to pursue information in a more global scale. He promised and vowed to himself that he would travel the world seeking out new information after he mastered all four elements.
Chou had an interest in the old cycle. The one for which Avatar Korra was the bridge. He would contact her asking if she had any insight about her past lives only to find she only knew about the very first Avatar in existence, Avatar Wan. Despite feeling disappointed that the first Avatar of the new cycle didn't know anything about the Avatars prior to her and the fact that he was unable to contact any Avatar prior to her, Chou still managed to find his calling. He would search out the world for any information that may still exist of all Avatars prior to Avatar Korra and establish the Great Library of the Avatar. This quest would lead him many places such as Wong Shi Tong's Library and many isolated locations include what appeared to be an abandoned temple only to discover it was populated with people who dedicated themselves to preserving the history of one Avatar Raiko.
Name: Avatar Raiko
Nationality: Fire Nation, The Union (founder)
Gender: Male
Cycle: Old
History: Avatar Raiko lived only 7 avatars apart from Avatar Roku. During the time there were tensions between the world nations and many feared a possible war on the horizon.
Raiko started as a mere outcast among his village in the Fire Nation before he was banished from his nation and disowned by his parents. During which time he became a nomad and struggled to survive by stealing food from other villages within his own country and others. Like Avatar Chou above, Raiko tried to remain optimistic and knew this experience could be his chance to see the world. Among his journey, he met several other thieves and outcasts of various elements who he quickly befriended.
He and his new colleagues established their own nation residing within hide outs across the world called, "The Union of Nations". While The Union mostly consisted of thieves and outcasts. Various immigrants seeking a new life would often discover them and wish to apply for citizenship.
They lived a peaceful life as a self-sufficient colony until one day a sage discovered their camp and requested a bed for the night. This was when he discovered that Raiko might be the Avatar. The fire sages had been sent out to seek the next Avatar and little did this sage know that the man who would offer him a bed and food was the very person they were sent to find. Raiko denied the possibility mostly out of fear of leaving his newly established colony behind, but he decided to take the test regardless to ensure an answer.
When he realized he was the Avatar, he knew things would change and he required to assign a successor as leader of the tribe.
Raiko successfully prevented a global war, but was tragically struck down by the Fire Lord and deemed a traitor to his nation. The Union, on the otherhand, survived within their colonies across the world in secret until Fire Lord Sozin gave the order to exterminate all Union members. The few who survived the ordeal and went into hiding vowed a new mission, to ensure Raiko's story wouldn't be corrupted.
It is unknown if Avatar Roku was aware of The Union's existence or if any communication attempts were made between the two parties.
Raiko was a man with a dream that was far beyond his time and if he or The Union were around to see such values they held so dear be used to create the United Republic of Nations and Republic City. They would be proud.
I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors in this post. If I see them, I'll edit them out.
