Airbending

© V-PK, deviantART

Airbending (also known as Aerokinesis) is the ability to control the wind, granted by Sky God, Rayquaza. It is the Element of Freedom. The benders roam free, like the wind, barely attached to worldly desires.

Techniques

Wind Gust

The most common airbending move. The benders are able to blow strong gusts of wind.

Cyclone Roar

A breath-based ability, benders can inhale large gusts of air and blow a terrific cyclone. Wendy Marvell calls this the "Sky Dragon's Roar."

Glide

When benders channel the wind to blow beneath them, they are able to fly around.

Whirlwind

When the bender runs around one spot, they are able to conjure a whirlwind. Sonic calls this the "Sonic Tornado."

Agility

Airbending gives the benders enhanced speed and agility, enabling them to move at super fast speeds and swiftly dodge anything.

Sonic Boost

A special form of Agility that few airbenders are born with, they can run at breakneck speeds that rival the speed of sound, and be able to travel across countries in mere hours. Sonic the Hedgehog and Wendy Marvell are such airbenders.

Air Ball

Airbenders can focus the air they bend into a fast spinning ball which they can float or ride around on at high speeds.

Temperature Control

Airbenders are able to alter the temperature of the air around them. It can become incredibly hot or incredibly cold.

Lightningbending

By mixing hot and cold temperatures together, airbenders can conjure lightning. They can move at blinding speeds and direct lightning at their enemies.

Mirages

Benders can conjure mirages by stirring the hot/cold air in the right way, great for deceiving enemies.

Storm Maker/Cloudbending

When airbenders mix clouds together using airbending, they can cause storms and make lightning strike.

Breathbending

A dark airbending power, similar to bloodbending with water: benders can take the very breath out of a person and let them suffocate.

Magic Attacks

Cyclone Fist

When an airbender possesses magical abilities, they can have wind constantly spiral around their fists or legs, without their direct control. This leads to stronger punches or kicks against their enemies.

Aero Shield

Magic airbenders can cast a spell to make wind shields appear over their friends, defending them from direct attacks.

Heart Restoration

Magical airbenders are able to restore the breath inside a recently-deceased person and bring them to life; as long as not too many wounds cover the body. This is primarily to counter the dark, fatal moves: breathbending and the Killing Curse.

Air Chi

Air Chi is colored white and is focused in the lungs. The lungs are where a person's breath is focused, and is therefore the means by which people inhale or exhale natural Air Chi.

The Light Side of Air involves embracing freedom and freeing your mind of ill thoughts or worldly concerns. The Dark Side involves abusing freedom for the sake of havoc. Physically, the good side of air is that it gives breath and life to mortal beings, but the dark side of air comes in the form of storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

Air Chi is heavily concentrated in very windy areas (or windy days in general), as well as high altitude areas like mountains or Skypia. There are some fruits grown in Skypia that contain high amounts of Air Chi.

Other Traits

As Air is the Element of Freedom, airbenders exhibit carefree personalities and tend to let few burdens bother them. This can be interpreted positively or negatively, as being bound to freedom means doing whatever they want, whether it's committing crimes or helping people. Applying the "lawless" side of freedom is considered the Dark Side of airbending.

Airbenders usually love to fly in the heavens for countless hours, as the feeling is easing on their soul.

Weaknesses

Air's main weakness is space, as there is no air in space. Otherwise, airbenders are weak against chi-blocking.
