Cool! He is a Christian...I wonder why The Avatar series never tackled this religious issue like the presence of an omnipotent figure or figures? They have Raava and Vaatu as greater spirits, but never as gods...

That concept of making like 'constructs' out of fire is a pretty cool idea (especially like as a "fire arm"). Very cooooooooooool.

That's really cool. I always wondered if this was possible since people could waterbender fire as lightning and airbend air as sand.

I've been looking at a lot of these applications people have been submitting for the brand new LOK group, and I must say I really like this character! It was really clever to give him a makeshift arm out of fire. There's another one-armed character applying for the group and she's a female waterbender, and I really liked that design as well. I wish I would have known about this sooner so I could join haha.

...... Ok so explain this to me. How does Christianity exist in Avatar? Last time I checked Avatar theology stems from non-Ambrahamic sources (Animism, Taoism, Buddhism, Vedic and Hindu philosophies I might be even some Confucian and Shinto flavor too) I haven't seen anything that resembles anything that could be considered monotheistic let alone. So how is Xuan a Christian when there is no Yeshua ben Yosef aka Jesus of Nazareth to deify?
Just thought I ask.

good question.
But why not, they're nothing special beside the bending ability.
Most human being naturally seek God when they're in suffering, I believe as long as they are spiritual creatures, they need pastors.

You missed my point. There is no Christian god in Avatar.
Looking for faith is totally cool (I have like handful of both religious and irreligious shamans) and I have nothing against priests, clerics, sages, shamans or mystics (we have a canon guru for pete's sake), and more of those characters would be awesome.
All that I am saying is Xuan can totally be a priest of a cult that worships Badgermoles or is a priest of a temple dedicated to Mountain Spirit. Him being Christian pastor is nonsensical. Because there is no Jesus in Avatar (Ok so...Aang could be a kungfu Jesus but not that kind).
See what I am getting at?

Oh sorry, I misunderstood.
In this case my explaination would be:
Although Avatar's world has lots made-up things, the general life of that world is pretty much the same like where we live. I mean, although the creature are totolly different, their chef are fully comfident at cooking them; the virus maybe difference too but doctors in there know how to treat it. so in case of pastor, I believe they also clearly know their duty, even we can't us our logic to explain their faith.

I don't think I understand a word you just said. While things are different some things just don't exist. Christianity doesn't exist in Avatar. Therefore Christian pastors don't actually exist either.
My point is. Yes Xuan can be a priest; that is totally cool. Just not one serving the Christian god.
We can use our logic to explain their faith since it's based off of real world faiths like Hinduism or Buddhism.

I can't believe that he's called Xuan it makes me laugh because it's a very common name where I live. When I read Xuan I imagine a farmer with the cows... XD

I'm from Spain, from a region in the north called Asturias. In spanish John is Juan, and in asturian Juan is Xuan. That's why Yu Xuan made me laugh ^^

Firebending and earthbending combined … well it would be magma/lavabending… I think so.

no, he can't, but he can bend fire in a very earth bending way, he can accurately control the shape of fire.

However, it isn't allowed to make characters related to the characters from the show, sorry. You'll need to change tha if you want to try for the group.

yeah, it's pretty much Qing dynasty prince outfit, I just made a little changes. those patterns and details almost killed me.
because the setting of earth kingdom obviously is based on Qing dynasty

Ok, I'm thinking about hide that part which related to the canon characters. I can go back to it when i need anyway.

You could also just make one of his parents a fire bender, and another an earthbender~
