Airbenders

There are four different kinds of Benders: Air-, Water-, Earth-, and Firebenders. There is also the Avatar, one select human that can Bend all four of the bend-able elements. This article is about Airbenders.

At the start of the show, airbenders have been extinct for 100 years, destroyed by the Fire Nation. They had the abilty to manipulate air, twist it into shapes, and use it to pick items up or fly. They also had tatoos of arrows on top of their usually-bald heads and on their hands. They wear mostly red and yellow clothes. Collectively they are known as the air nomads.

Their fighting style shows that they are peaceful. When an airbender fights, he will evade his enemy before jumping out and hitting him with a blast of air. It is almost impossable to kill with airbending.

Airbending has many other uses too. With the help of a small glider/staff, they may control the air currents around them allowing them to fly. By reducing the air around them, and thus drag, they are capable of running at super-human speeds and even up cliffs.
