Description
At any given time, there is only one person alive in the world capable of bending all four elements: the Avatar, the spirit of the planet in human form. One bender, known as the "Avatar" and described as the "physical embodiment of the world's spirit", has the power to bend all four elements and is responsible for maintaining both the balance of nature and peace between the world's four great nations.
When an Avatar dies, this spirit is reincarnated into the next nation in the Avatar Cycle, in the order of the seasons, and must master each bending art in seasonal order, starting with their native element. Additionally, the Avatar possesses an ability called the Avatar State, which briefly endows it with the knowledge and abilities of all past Avatars as a self-triggering defense mechanism, which can be made subject to the will of the user by extensive trial and training. If an Avatar is killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle is broken, and the Avatar entity will cease to exist. Through the ages, the succeeding Avatars have served to keep the four nations in harmony, and maintain world order. The Avatar serves as the bridge between the physical world and the spirit world, allowing each to solve problems that normal benders cannot.
