"Avatar: The Last Airbender" will have the same storyline and characters as the original series. The series takes place in a world where four nations — the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads — lived in peace before the Fire Nation started a war against the other nations. Within this world, "benders" can manipulate one of four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. One special bender, 12-year-old Aang, has the ability to manipulate all four elements. Revealed to be the Avatar, Aang must use his powers to restore balance to the world.
