[Poll] Assigned Bending

A thought I've had for a while now is doing an RP where certain things are assigned to players at the point of character completion. Maddogg reminded me of it.

There are bonuses and negatives to this, and I'm wondering where everyone stands on this. A huge bonus would be people focusing more on character than on combat or history, which is something I'm all for. It would also add an element of realism, seeing as you wouldn't have a choice if you were actually born into the Avatar world, or any world for that matter.

The biggest negative side I'm seeing would be if people got something they didn't like, they'd scrap the character, quit, wait a few days, and resubmit. Or just quit permanently.

If we did this, I would probably give you the choice of being a bender of a non-bender, that way if you want to have bending, you still would. Unless the majority want it so there's always a chance of being a non-bender.

If we DO do this, I'm definitely going to make bending subskills easier to get.

EDIT: I would assign bending, not randomly, but on your personality alone. Hence the "people focusing more on character than on combat or history" thing I said.

You... paused me?
I am so for this! I was actually hoping you'd do something like this! I won't be upset either way though.

As of now I'm adding this to the RP. I'll remove it if the majority end up disliking the idea.

I sit on the fence. As much as I enjoy the idea of making my own character to my own specifications, life simply isn't that way. I think it is just fine to assign a bending discipline or lack thereof to characters

Also you won't have the Shinobi issue where everyone is from Konoha.
