Moment of Balance
Republic city, one year after the events of Legend of Korra. The Avatar may have brought balance to the world once more, but that balance is constantly threatening to tip over. Between corruption in Republic City, the introduction of firearms, and a destabilized Earth Kingdom, the world is a powder keg. Our story follows three characters from different worlds: Sabi, an orphan from Ba Sing Se and gunslinger-for-hire, currently working for the Piercing Pistols Triad in Republic City. Hanako, a Fire Nation ambassador to Republic City, acting on behalf of her wealthy mother who does not have the greater interests...

Moment of Balance is full of violence, real-world political inspiration, and highly traumatized characters. What would happen if we took those traumatized characters and turned them into normal teenagers that also had the ability to do interdimensional skateboarding tricks? Welcome to Slugblaster!
