Established Universe [EU] You're the fake avatar. You're an airbender. You "earthbend" by moving the earth with air force. You "firebend" by superheating air and blowing existing fire. You "waterbend" by doing the same moving earth with air force thing but with water. You've become REALLY good at faking this.
