What Type Of Bender Are You? (A simple test)

[obsidian pulsar]

Here’s an easy way to determine what type of bending you’d have in the ATLA world. Just for fun, we need your Eastern Zodiac sign and your Western Astrological sign.

First, your Eastern Zodiac will tell us your ethnicity in this world:

Next we need your Western Astrological sign:

Finally, we add them together to get the result. See the key below:

If your Zodiac animal is a WATER sign:

Water + Water = Waterbender

Water + Earth = Bloodbender

Water + Fire = Non bender

Water + Air = Healer

If your Zodiac animal is an EARTH sign:

Earth + Earth = Earthbender

Earth + Water = Metalbender

Earth + Fire = Lavabender

Earth + Air = Non bender

If your Zodiac animal is a FIRE sign:

Fire + Fire = Firebender

Fire + Water = Lightningbender

Fire + Earth = Non bender

Fire + Air = Combustionbender

If your Zodiac animal is an AIR sign:

Air + Air = Airbender

Air + Water = Non bender

Air + Earth = Soundbender (astral projection)

Air + Fire = Flightbender

If you got nonbender, don’t be discouraged! Remember there are many amazing disciplines nonbenders can study including:

Water = Wolf Warriors (boomerang champs!)

Earth = Kyoshi Warriors

Fire = Sword Masters (Piandao was once said to defeat an entire bending army alone)

Air = Chi Blockers

I've never heard of bird sign
Does rooster count as bird in this situation?

[left sierra]

I assume that’s what it means, yeah

[obsidian pulsar]

Yes! Rooster = bird

[velvet hill]

I got air + water

so I get to be a Wolf Warrior

[naive jay]

It turns out I can fly

[velvet hill]

sweet

[obsidian pulsar]

Wait the order matters.

Did you get Air + Water or Water + Air?

[velvet hill]

Air + Water

[obsidian pulsar]

That’s such a liberating power!

[obsidian pulsar]

Ahhh! You’re a chi blocker!

Your spirituality from your air ancestry + your ability to sense the “flow” of chi like a water bender, makes you perfectly adept at it!

[naive jay]

What about you Lucia?

[obsidian pulsar]

Fire + Water = Lightning bending.

I honestly see myself as a waterbender but I guess fate won’t let me escape being typecast as Azula 😂

Lightning is Firebending using Water techniques, so I thought it fitting

[naive jay]

Well I guess we found live action Azula then

[obsidian pulsar]

I wish! Sadly I’m mixed race so I don’t think I’d look Asian enough.

The actress they cast seems like a great fit though! Excited to see how they do.

[naive jay]

I just hope they've learnt from the last catastrophy
Cause if script is bad, even the best actors won't save it

But it's great to see a diverse cast

[obsidian pulsar]

FACTS!

I’m worried because it’s Netflix but I want to believe!

[naive jay]

I mean
They didn't offer the main writing position to edgy teenage drama creator like they did with Winx
That's always something

[pallid parcel]

me thinking this indicates I’m an air bender: YUS

me thinking this indicates I’m FN nationality: ehhhhhh ok i can live w that

me forgetting in the space of that 2 seconds that my initial placement was air and not water: wait I’m a non-bender? No fair

Me reading styles they can learn: *grump grump OH WAIT CHI BLOCKING DUH (I only wrote an entire Ty Lee-centric fic for Tui’s sake, and one of these days am actually gonna learn the pressure points of that IRL Jutsu)

Me remembering that it initially said airbender for me: yeah ok so I’m a chi blocking airbender, that’s basically canon anyway, pacifistic fighting style + Ty Lee looks like she has Aang bloodlines

LOLLLLL.

this post was quite the wild ride from beginning to end

[obsidian pulsar]

You had to go on an adventure to discover your true self!

[velvet hill]

sweet

[viral moth]

Blood bender!

[lapis belfry]

Huh, you must be around my age then

Or 12 years older/younger than me

Well if you're 12 years younger then me that wouldn't be too good for you

Anyway, bloodbender here too

[lapis belfry]

I just realized that's not necessarily true because water is not only snake but also rabbit and dog oops lmao

[viral moth]

Hold on I was so clueless

Non bender water Sadge

Dog and Sag

[viral moth]

Born in the future

So I’m a Wolf warrior

[lapis belfry]

This may surprise you but I'm older than 12 years old

[viral moth]

I’m not sure how many younger really were the biggest fans of ATLA

People who remember it and got into it would be in late teens now

[lapis belfry]

As a general rule of thumb tho, everyone here is above 13 (at least if they follow discord's ToS, which we enforce)

[viral moth]

Yup otherwise it would be quite troubling to have a 10 year old around

[granite glacier]

I wasn't planning on being a Bloodbender but here we are

[pallid parcel]

what lol. Millennials were in high school when I it aired- and they’re 27 and up

[viral moth]

Yakones strongest soldier

[viral moth]

Temporal amnesia is real

[pallid parcel]

I saw a really detailed Tumblr post that broke down exactly why a certain generation has culturally lost time perception, something to do with the way radios tend to group music, and the step up in proliferation of visual media too

Wish I had saved it

[viral moth]

Vsauce did a whole thing on it

[pallid parcel]

Oh? Do you know the name of the video?

[viral moth]

Illusion of time

And what will we miss

He did two!

[pallid parcel]

: 3

[viral moth]

Hes an absolute icon for further studies, his videos are so interesting

[pallid parcel]

Oh yeh I’m aware, my sister is obsessed w him

[nova anchor]

I'd be a healer apparently 🤷‍♂️

It is nice to know my Zodiac sign is at least an Air sign

[honest basin]

I got boar + Leo

[obsidian pulsar]

So you’re a Fire bender! Nice

[obsidian pulsar]

Very nice! Your understanding of water and the flow of chi from your air element makes you an excellent healer

[nova anchor]

I'd probably be a bad doctor in real life, but thanks anyway 😅

[obsidian pulsar]

Hey, you could use your healing abilities for evil… >=)

[nova anchor]

Well it would be more likely I would want to try to heal someone, but fail miserably because I wouldn't know what I'm doing 😂

[wintry burrow]

Lets go lightning bender incoming

[topaz gull]

ok so im:

dog (water)
pisces (water)

im water.

[vague blade]

My Chinese zodiac is a tiger and my western zodiac is Taurus

Aka I'm the best at everything

And everyone's favorite sign

[ember hound]

Horse (Air) + Aries (Fire) = Flightbender

[snow umbra]

im a sagittarius but i don’t wanna reveal my birth year 💪

fioer boinder

[obsidian pulsar]

So you’re a master swordsman like Piandao. Very cool.

Also is your name a Fate reference? Yooo! I’m about to be in an audio drama for that!

[obsidian pulsar]

Voicing Rin and baby Gilgamesh of all characters haha

[frail sleet]

how does earth + fire = lavabender but fire + earth = non bender

[honest basin]

its not a commutative operation

[obsidian pulsar]

The first sign determines your origin. Earth benders can’t firebend, but they can lava bend.

Firebenders can’t lavabend. The logic behind them being sword masters is that it takes metal and fire to forge them.

[strange badger]

I guess I'm a soundbender, which is funny as I'm hard of hearing.

[obsidian pulsar]

Gyatso warned you to use ear plugs before you sonic boomed your enemies!

[strange badger]

Well sadly it wasn't quite what I meant when I said I wanted to blow everyone away, I didn't even really how to do a Sonic Boom!

[obsidian pulsar]

I appreciate you. You’re funny. I have poor vision so I love dunking on my vision problems like Toph haha.

[strange badger]

If I can make someone's day a bit better, I'm all for it regardless of how.

[dense whale]

I'm a kyoshi warrior

Anyone cares to do my makeup? 🤣

[obsidian pulsar]

We should ask Jack DeSena. Sokka may not be able to draw, but his make-up game ON POINTE

[errant kite]

Monkey + Virgo = Non bender! Hahaha, that's quite a coincidence. The role I chose when joining this server is Non-bender.

Wait a minute...monkey is Air; Virgo is Earth...Sound Bender/Astral Projection...oh 😢

[obsidian pulsar]

You could still be someone who struggles to bend and thinks they’re a nonbender, but keeps having out of body experiences you can’t explain

Would be a cool concept

[quick wharf]

I'm a blood bender 💀

[scarlet fulcrum]

oh wait wait, I am air(bird) + fire(saggitarius) = flightbender??

what does it mean tho🤔

[dusky obsidian]

im just a regular firebender lmao

no matter how much i like airbending i think my personality “matches” fire nation the most

[obsidian pulsar]

You can actually fly without a glider like Zaheer

[obsidian pulsar]

Yo being bubbly and pink but secretly a blood bender is such a scary concept hahaha

[obsidian pulsar]

That makes me think of Iroh 🙂

[left sierra]

What, you’ve never seen Hama’s Ty Lee cosplay?

I would make art of this now, but I have neither the equipment nor the skill

[honest basin]

https://tenor.com/view/black-adam-gif-26989330

imagine if the rock played zaheer in live action LOK

[left sierra]

It would be really tough to find a P’Li to tower over him in that case

[scarlet fulcrum]

FR

[ember hound]

The Rock wears shoe lifts iirc

He's not as tall as he appears on screen

[left sierra]

Just get his original VA to play him, they already look identical

[ember hound]

That was probably intentional when they designed him

They made Piandao resemble Kisu too.

[left sierra]

Very possible

[honest basin]

thats what i thought too

[topaz gull]

just put P'Li in stilts and have no one question it.

simple

[honest basin]

there's one scene where zaheer looks EXACTLY like that one chinese edit of the rock

[snow umbra]

yeah but the rocks contract says he can’t lose in any movies he’s in 💀

[honest basin]

really? wtf

[snow umbra]

yeah

its stupid lmao

[dusky obsidian]

that made me happy thank you

[left sierra]

His contract with whom?

[snow umbra]

with movie ppl or something 😭 it might be fake

[honest basin]

i clearly identify as a firebender

but for some reason i like to imagine myself earthbending more often

[dusky obsidian]

understandable

[quasi karma]

Dog+cancer so my power is

https://tenor.com/view/waterfalls-water-falling-scenery-gif-17298890

just water

[potent delta]

i am a healer

nevered healed anyone

[sturdy gull]

Dog + Leo = lightning bender

[vocal galleon]

dragon and ares , just plain firebender, wow

[dull raven]

I got nonbending
