Before Avatar Aang and Roku
The Begining
There was a terrible series of event. Like the end of the world ish... Meteors hit the earth all around. Comets, volcanoes erupted from being hit with comets. Water started wising, ice started melting and flooding areas. Tornadoes, everything. Dieses struck from being exposed to the comets since they carried chemicals that they didn't know was wrong and touched them. it passed a long and many died. People started killing each other, thinking that maybe if they pleased the spirits with sacrifices that it would stop. A lot of people died, not leaving a lot alive.
People thought the cycle was broken because of the previous Avatar, Avatar Kurik. He was seen in the avatar state in the Northern air temple, he was mad because he thought he found his wife, but it wasn't. He was with a group with Northern Tribe Warriors, trying to find his wife. Someone said something and then Kurik went into the Avatar state since he was angry, the others ran and people thought he died in the Avatar Stat€e.
But-- he actally came out of the avatar state and he was weakened by it, so he wasn't prepared to be squished by the ice, he died and Kyoshi was born.
When the disasters started to hit, Kyoshi was a young girl at the age of fifteen living on the Eastern coast of the Earth Kingdom. Her father was a fisherman and her mother had died at birth to her. When the water started rising her father was able to get fish easier, but soon the town would be flooded. Kyoshi begged her father to move, but he said he wanted to stay with the fish.
Upon a summer's night, Kyoshi was sound asleep in her bed when meteors struck the town. It lit houses on fire and started burning the town. Kyoshi and her father quickly ran out of the house and sarted out of the town. The light flood water helped a bit but not much since the fire was upon the rooves. Kyoshi and her father escaped to a small set of caves at the edge of their village. After the night had ended the two returned to the village to find it in ruins.
Kyoshi and her father* went back to their house, collecting money, some food, valuables, and things that could be sold for value. The two started to travel through the Earth Kingdom, but the enviormental disasters became worse.
Meteor showers were more common, earthquakes ripped through the earth, volcanoes spewed lava, waters started rising, storms of lightning struck at seas and hit forests-- staring fires. Diseases coursed over the world. People thought hell had broken out.
Soon, half of the people on Earth had died. Still no one knew that Kyoshi was the Avatar-- not even herself, she only thought she was an Earthbender.
The world was dragged into turmoil, people fighting to find safety. It was said the only safe place was the Eastern Air Nomad's homes, that they were still safe. Also that the Caves of Two lovers was safe. A group of refugee Earthbenders wanted to be free of the diseases and the terror, so they tunneled down on the outskirts of Ba Sing Se. There, they started an Underground Ba Sing Se.It was almost an exact replica, except for plants and the luxeries sunlight gave. Refugees went there, living under the rule of the founder of "Ingemino" (the name given to the city) was King Vires.
A year passed and only 1/3 of the population is left, there's still disasters yet most people are in safety. Where does you character play?
*Kyoshi's father died from an earthquake, slipping through the fault line. Kyoshi hadn't been able to save him.
