BACKSTORY ON THE RDA
In the year 2070 scientists Ferdinand Monroe and James Cameron began to take interest in one of the moons in the Alpha Centauri star system. It was the moon named Pandora. What was on that moon interested the two scientists and the two began to develop a way to reach Pandora and set up camp for science. It took more than thirty years before the first man stepped on Pandora. It took another ten before a base was set. It was the beginning of the RDA mining in Pandora. They began to recruit scientists to further the movement and though the original founders of the RDA were no longer leading, everyone knew they were there for science.
Though others began to differ. The RDA mining began and science was no longer priority one. Instead the RDA was after a rich mineral found on the planet called unobtanium. They began to recruit marines and soldiers to become the force on Pandora.
New technology was developed for survival on Pandora and to advance their exploit of the reserved but valuable mineral. No human could survive the air in Pandora, gas masks were required for everyone. Bigger guns and airships were created to fight off the beasts.
The creatures that lived on Pandora were like nothing they've seen before. Creatures, wild and mythical to any human mind. Dangerous and vicious. But they weren't the only ones. Pandora was inhabited by the Na'vi. Blue skinned species of sapient humanoids with feline characteristics. They were stronger and much taller than humans but they lived in harmony with nature. They believed in Flora and Fauna, and worshiped their spiritual leader, Eywa.
By 2140 Young but Brilliant scientists Dr. Charlotte Augustine, Dr. Peter Harper, and Dr. Carlisle Cullen were enlisted by The RDA for their Science and development to understanding the Na'vi. They ceased attacks as the Science once again became priority one, only attacking those that attacked them. Dr. Charlotte Augustine and Dr. Peter Harper thought of the idea of appearing Na'vi to seem less like a threat to them. They founded the Avatar Program by the year 2142. Dr. Carlisle Cullen began developing the first Avatar in the year 2143. From human DNA and DNA of a Na'vi came the Avatar. His wife, Esme Cullen and his niece Amethyst Ryder were the first to test the new technology. It took him five full years to completely develop the two Avatars. But on their first conquest, Amethyst was shot by a Na'vi caused by panic.
Amethyst's Avatar was injured and the pain translated to her human body causing her to be in a coma. Esme swore to never return to her Avatar and stayed by her nieces side as she laid in the lab until the RDA faked Amethyst's death. There Esme turned to becoming a nurse for the RDA.
Dr. Charlotte Augustine and Dr. Peter Harper knew they had to take action and try again. By 2149 the development of their own avatars were completed and the two took on the journey for a peaceful relation with the Na'vi. They were successful, and began to teach the Na'vi their language and their ways, forming a sort of acquaintanceship between humans and the Na'vi.
The RDA enlisted Colonel Maria Quaritch and her team to become the guns of the operation for security purposes. However, Maria was attacked by a Banshee on her first official field day. With that, she grew merciless and strong hatred for the creatures of Pandora and pushed The head of Corporate admin for a more forceful attack. Seeing as the Avatar Program was not advancing the RDA in anyway, they began a series of string attacks on Pandora causing destruction on the planet and the beginning of many battles.
In 2154 Corporal Jasper Whitlock was enlisted to replace his brother, Austin Whitlock in the Avatar Program after Austin was killed by a Thanator a month before his Avatar was completed. Seeing as Jasper was exactly just like Austin, he was the top choice to join the RDA and control Austin's Avatar. Alongside Dr. Charlotte Augustine, Dr. Peter Harper, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, and Nicholas Spellman Corporal Jasper Whitlock became a part of the Avatar Program. Unknown to him, there was an adventure awaiting him in Pandora.
BACK STORY ON THE NA'VI
The Na'vi are the people of Pandora. Beautiful, peaceful creatures who match the surrounding they live in. They are harmonious people who believe in their deity Eywa and are strong believers of the Fauna and Flora of their world.
There are several Na'vi clans spread across the lands of Pandora. There are four main clans of the Na'vi, The Tipani, The Swotu, The Omaticaya and the Eantskxe. The Tipani clan is made up with strong skilled warriors, The Swotu are more spiritual as they are in fact the Sacred Clan. The Omaticaya and Eantskxe have both skilled warriors and spiritual people but neither are of higher ranks than the Swotu and the Tipani.
The Swotu clan is the sacred Clan. They reside in the lands of the Swotulu Hometree. They were believed to be the first clan created by Eywa and many believe those that are Na'vi Swotu were chosen by Eywa for great things. The Tipani Clan were the first warriors, believed to be chosen by Eywa to protect all Na'vi and Pandora.
They lived in Peace for many years, Eywa gave them life, many also passed. They lived in harmony with the Fauna and Flora of Pandora and seeked guidance from Eywa. Their leaders were brave and strong. Only six battles have been recorded in their history.
The Tipani, The Swotu and the Omaticaya are the only ones known in Na'vi History to ever have a leader ride a Toruk Makto. Only five have been successful in taming a Toruk.
Most Na'vi ride Direhorses or Ikrans. They form a strong bond with them and are part of every warriors task.
When their world was shaken by new inhabitants, they were at a panic. They fought against those who attacked them. It wasn't until the Tipani and the Swotu welcomed Uniltiranyu, Dreamwalkers, that they formed a small peaceful relation with them.
However, the Na'vi did not expect the attacks to resume. Therefore it brought war between the humans and the Na'vi.
BACK STORY ON THE NA'VI SWOTU
As the Sacred Na'vi clan they lived with high expectations from others. They are currently lead by, Taronyu Alraya and Tsahik Suy'at. A tsahik is a spiritual leader of each Na'vi clan, she speaks as the daughter of Eywa. Though each clan has their own Tsahik, Her ancestry brings her to the age old beginnings of the Na'vi giving her higher power than others. It is believed that her daughter, Ley'ra is the first voice of the Na'vi and hope for their people. It was her great grandfather, Aten'eko that rode a Toruk Makto leading them to victory against the first invasion of the tawtute. Though Aten'eko lived only for another year, he was well looked up to. It was proof that the Swotu Clan were of Higher Graces with Ewya.
Ley'ra is sister to Tsanten. The role of leadership was supposed to be passed on to Tsanten being the male heir, but Aten'eko always said Ley'ra is special and that Eywa sees her. Since then, the people believd Ley'ra was of higher power therefore handing her the rights to become Tsahik and leader of the Swotu when the time comes.
Ley'ra's chosen mate was Tysal since they were younger. However, Tysal fell in love with Ilyana, Ley'ras hand maiden. Though Tysal felt love for Ley'ra he couldn't forget about Ilyana. Ley'ra couldn't fight off the feeling of hurt. She began to grow angry and rebel. She often ran off and never came back for days. The pain caused her more heartache than she could hold.
It wasn't until Ateyo, an old friend of hers, promised to free her from the pain. He challenged Tysal for Ley'ras hand. Ateyo was a stronger warrior than Tysal though both fought hard for Ley'ra. In the end, Ateyo's skills proved him the better warrior. Ley'ra is now betrothed to Ateyo though she feels no love for him besides companionship. Though she knows their union would bring the two powerful clans together. It was hope for all Na'vi.
The Tipani were the first clan to welcome the Dreamwalkers into their hometree. Tan Jala soon asked for Taronyu and Suy'at to accept them aswell. The Dreamwalkers and the Swotu and Tipani began to allow them to teach them their human ways.
When the Tawtute attacked the Na'vi once again, they knew war was upon them once again. They were cautious of trusting Dr. Charlotte and Dr. Peter many refused to learn any more but nonetheless, still welcomed them to a certain extent.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything Avatar the Movie related, James Cameron and that franchise does. I do not own anything Avatar the Game related, Ubisoft does. Though I do own the game and have seen the movie 3 times. I also do not own the Twilight characters, Stephenie Meyer does.
Pixie's Note : This is a story in development. As you can tell, I wrote a lot of information. Mostly all created in my mind. I tried to use every important character from Twilight I saw fit for Avatar. And tried to make each Avatar character fit for those in Twilight I chose. It took me a week to fully develop every character and write the back story. To this day I make changes to the characters and the storyboard I have written out.
Like James Cameron I want to tell a story that will amaze people. For me, this is a self challenge. Writing down what I imagine in my mind what Pandora would be like or what adventure they could go on. I find writing to be my escape. Why not escape to a fairytale? Or a place like Pandora?
I will admit the story is based on the movie, it is obvious isn't it? Though I'm sure my own twists will pull it apart from the movie storyline.
Why did I start this story? I was amazed by James Cameron's Avatar and decided to create my own Twilight twist on it. Besides I was asked by someone to write something like this while I write Cinderwolf and I said why not? I had fresh ideas for both and I was excited to get back into writing which is why I chose to do this story alongside Cinderwolf.
I will be using Na'vi words on this story, and some RDA stuff that will need explaining. Have no fear, each story will have a Pandorapedia attached to it at the end.
I cannot start this story without the readers accepting the idea. So what do you think?
Review this with your thoughts and opinions while I mull over this project. Again, your reviews mean a lot to me. :]
For now, Pixie Out!
