Avatar: The Last Airbender

Aang

Aang

Aang was just a carefree 12 year old monk when he found out that he was the Avatar, responsible for maintaining balance between the Four Nations. Rejecting his role at first, Aang ran away and became frozen in a state of suspended animation for 100 years. And then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. During those 100 years, a war consumed the world and destroyed every Air Nomad save for Aang himself. After his release from suspended animation, Aang accepted that he would need to master his abilities as the Avatar and restore balance to the world. Aang’s abilities included the manipulation of air, water, earth, and fire. As the Avatar he also had considerable spiritual awareness and the ability to gain immense power in the Avatar State. His skill and power increased rapidly over the course of the series, and by adulthood he gained full mastery of his powers.
