How about a series where somehow, Vaatu's return has been somehow pushed to sooner, rather than later, due to Kuvira firing that spirit cannon and giving Vaatu enough energy to exert influence outside of wherever he is. Each book contains a seemingly independent conflict, but the heroes slowly discover that Vaatu has some kind of direct or indirect role manipulating their enemies and conflicts. Essentially, what happens during the series is that the heroes connect the dots until it all makes sense. The fourth and final book would be one where Vaatu takes center stage once again. At any point in the series, we are introduced to a faction of Red Lotus who fanatically worship and willingly serve Vaatu. <p>Now, in this series, each book will focus on a character from each nation, with the first book focusing on the Avatar, but the Avatar will always feature prominently in each book. The fourth book would obviously feature the fourth nation, but will involve all four/five nations coming together and uniting against Vaatu. Since Vastu cannot be killed, the goal is to banish Vaatu to a place where he cannot ever escape and cause trouble. </p> </i></div>
<p>So which time should be good for Vaatu to return? I mean... after that kind of battle. He's going to need a long wait </p><p>until many next generations of the Avatar didn't came into the realize or being too overconfidence like </p><p>"Korra can beat him, so I can as well." happened and then... you know what happen. </p> </div> <p>Like I said, Kuvira firing the spirit cannon and creating a new portal would be what quickens Vaatu's return, because he was given a surge of power. The idea for this series is that of a story told through all four nations in a progressive manner. Even if the avatar will feature in the next books, and even if each hero can interact with other heroes at least once, the hero of each book will mostly be doing their own thing until the final battle against Vaatu. I mean, I really would like to see the four nations come together, like in the form of a four-fleet coalition (I don't mean the United Forces, I mean the forces of each nation together) to defeat a common foe. I didn't get to see that of any sort in Legend of Korra. </p>

<p>For a 3rd series to work, our Avatar has to make mistakes-so they have to fall from a higher place then ever before. Let's start our story about 80 years after Korra's ending. Our protagonist is a Fire Nation guy, who is the Avatar but does not know it. I'm thinking the Earth one after Korra was killed as a baby or toddler, and that that's only a rumour. </p><p>Our protagonist has a personality not unlike Katniss Everdeen's:No stable background like Roku, Aang or Korra. Grows up an orphan, with a craving for knowledge. Is sort of....resigned to his fate when he discovers he is the Avatar. Like, if he's going to do this, he might as well get started right? His arc would revolve around empathy, something he has never really gotten, but now desperately needs to, and the personal need vs distraction value of friends or a Team Avatar. Possible villains; a returning Red Lotus, and perhaps-I think this could be very interesting-a group who want to carry out Raava's ideals without the Avatar. Like, they think that the Avatar's existence brings suffering and imbalance, like with Roku and Sozins friendship, Aang and the Air Nomads and the Earth Avatar's grieving family-but the important thing is they want to bring balance, as we see it-just by themselves, not with the Avatar. I will call them the Silver Lotus. Did any of that make sense? As for technology, I think have most of the world-with the exception of the Air Temples and Norther WT-be around Korra's Republic City level. If-iiiiiiifffff-they regain the connection to the past Avatars,(this would not be easy) I think; Quite close to Roku and Korra, sees them as wise and good role models. Likes Aang, but also thinks he is a bit too much of an optimist. Doesn't get on at all with the Earth Avatar before him, who is incredibly resentful she has to guide him after her life was stolen. This guy would also use lava ending a lot, because it's awesome, and lightning. In fact he would try to learn everything, believing he needs to for duty. Again, theme of friendship comes in here. </p>

<p>There was one fan writer who came up with ideas that I really liked for the next two Avatars in the cycle. </p><p>To summarize: Korra's immediate successor (whose setting is kind of <i>Ghost in the Shell</i> meets <i>Shadowrun</i>) is a neurodivergent, socially awkward guy who's actually better at metal and electricity than standard earth and fire. His reincarnation (whose setting is essentially an Avatarverse-authentic twist on space-opera or space-western) is a combustionbender with some character traits in common with Asami, who's the result of a Red Lotus resurgence partially succeeding at what Team Zaheer attempted with Korra in 158AG and who eventually says "screw it" to <i>all</i> of the aquatic flower societies. </p><p>And also: I didn't comment at the time regarding a hypothetical triad called "The Smiling Ones." But if such a group were to exist, my guess is that they'd be called that for inflicting a "Glasgow smile" (if you're at all squeamish, I suggest <i>not</i> looking that up) on anyone foolish enough to cross them. </p>

<p>Glagow smile=That thing Joker does in Dark Knight, if you're curious but too weak to look it up. Now, the Colombian Necktie, that will put the fear of god in ya. </p>

<p>It's also apparently physically impossible, because that's not how a tongue attaches. </p>

<p>Just looked it up. Tongues look so much larger then I expected...how is it impossible, Deist? Anyway, back on topic;your friends ideas sound pretty good. Did he or she mention anything else about the state of the world, like the Air Nomads or our new Avatar's team? Also, would the Smiling Triad be bloodbenders or what? </p>

I was kinda playing around with an idea recently that was like what if an Avatar failed in their duty and was like misguided or brought up by the Red Lotus or something so then someone else had to fuse with a different spirit in order to bring balance back to the world... thoughts?
