Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ish: Denied. While it's a good idea, I won't allow things that boost stats or anything in the guild.

Zarud: I really like the first looks from it, but here's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna take it, and do a little work on it in crew, then when Bending Specializations are released, I'll put this out as a non-bender specialization.

it still feels like you still dont understand chi all the way. When I read this, I feel like it's a Taijutsu style from naruto. Chi is not chakra. A martial art in this guild wont gain benefits from enhanced chi work or anything. A martial art is just a combo of punches and kicks to beat someone's a** in close range.

You skipped from stage 2 to 4 also your spelling is off.

Stage 3 is there but I forgot to space it from the text. Also when I tried to spell check it first time round my internet glitched up and I had to start over. Now tell me, why are you pointing out these things after Snuffins has already said she'd work it out?

...But it's opposite day.... emotion_0A0

Less work for her.

looks good DG, approved
go ahead and post it

This style of bending had been lost for many decades, and for a reason. Ancient decree of the air temples dictated the use of Voidbending forbidden, as it goes against all that Airbending stood for. Instead of air which flows freely, void is the lack of any and all flow. It is death. Those who learn Voidbending should expect no home in the Temples. The basis of Voidbending is a cycle of constant control. One must control the nothingness and not the air, yet to control this nothingness you must control the container, the air. Thus, Airbending in this is simply the means to the end. While it is truly a strong, offensive style of Airbending, the philosophical concept of it makes it forbidden.

Stage 1

-Void Gamma: The Bender uses an uppercut motion to attack the opponent, however is not actually aiming to hit, but instead bends with the motion, removing the air around the target’s mouth/nose and thus using a vacuum to suck out and force all air from their lunges.

-Void Delta: Near or on impact, the User can forcefully push all the air around a body part away to create a vacuum in the air around it. Due to its nature, this technique is a double threat. Firstly, the blast of the expansion increase both the force and the range of the attack. Second, using the vacuum, the User can pull back in whatever was hit to add a normal hit to it as well.

-Pull: A basic technique that seems simple, yet is the opposite of a traditional Airbender’s style of using wind to push objects away. This technique creates a vacuum powerful enough to pull objects towards the Bender with great force.

-Null Wind: This technique is one of the bases of Voidbending. Using this, the Bender unwinds and manipulates the force of Airbending techniques through a reverse movement. In turn, the Voidbender can cancel Airbending. The cost to do so is equal to the technique nullified plus 5 chi. To do this, the Bender must either be close to the technique, whether it be as it forms or as it is launched.

Stage 2

-Vacuum Leap: By removing all air in a path the Bender decides, the Bender can then follow the path like a blur unmatched in speed. This technique takes thought to use, so if done incorrectly it can leave the Bender vulnerable as he takes in his surroundings, given that even if he can move fast enough, being able to comprehend the speed is completely different. This movement cannot be done consecutively, requiring calculation and concentration to pull off.

-Pull Whip: Creating a vortex through a void continuously pulling one side and releasing on the other, the Bender is able to create a tornado-like whip that actually grabs things 5 feet in front of it, allowing the Bender to drag things along and throw even people up into the air with ease. Anything less than a ten tons can be pulled, given this is more powerful than the “push” of normal airbending.

-Null Effect: Using the same principles of Null Wind, Null Effect is simply releasing a wide wave of energy to stop the momentum of free projectiles. This can be used to buy time against a falling object or simply to stop a heavy-caliber attack.

-Void Beta: Void Beta is a signature technique of Voidbending, Simply put, it can create a “Void Fist” impact anywhere 20 feet from the user by manipulating the wind to expand in a particular area. The movement associated with this is a strike that mimics the direction the Bender is aiming to hit from, thus it seems as if the strikes are long-ranged melee attacks.

Stage 3

-Null Wave: This defensive technique is performed by the Bender waving both hands in a spiraling motion across the area they wish to create the barrier on. A streak of distorted air will visibly spread across the area to more or less cover the User. This can defend well against most elements well head-on, thus attacks of Master cannot normally defeat this by ramming into it, with a few exceptions. When hit by flame, the vacuum within the wave of air, when the initial barrier of air is pierced, will suffocate the flames and make them null. When hit by earth, the buoyancy of the bubble-like barrier of air surrounding the vacuum will be enough to absorb the blow. Against water and air, this vacuum will quickly swallow volume of the attack so long as it isn’t enough to destroy buildings, containing the water as to nullify the bending controlling it. Exceptions are techniques that can either travel through vacuums, such as lightning. The Null Wave is destroyed after blocking an attack of equal or greater rank.

-Void-Make: This technique allows the Bender to create a solid-like surface out of the nothingness between the air, actually using the density of the air barrier of the void to become the surface of the non-existent. This can be used for many things, such as walking on air or stopping an opponent in mid-air.


-Void Alpha: This is an upgrade of Void Beta’s long-ranged attack. First of all, the Bender first users a molding/rounding circular motion with his/her hands to isolate the target area. The Bender then claps his hands dramatically hard, forcing all the air in the area to collapse inwards all at once. Within the area, any solids in the vicinity will be ripped off of whatever they may be attached too and forced into the center due to the extreme net-force of the attack. Due to this, it seems almost as if the Bender can make things disappear into nothingness, thus a Voidbender. The volume of this attack is around a foot in diameter. Each extra foot in size equals +5 chi needed.

Stage 4

-Null Field: The Bender dances in a strange form, as if trying to bend a cyclone around themselves with no result. This, however, is untrue, as what they are truly doing is creating a incredibly large hurricane-like cyclone around the field. Within the eye, there is no wind. Flames are shut down, and only water and earth bending can be used. The Voidbender can only use Voidbending in this field as well.

-Void Soul; Chi Nullification: Instead of bending the nothingness around the Bender, the Bender instead manipulates the “nothingness” within themselves to thin the chi densities and create a void within the Bender’s own energies. While doing this he cannot bend, of course. However, for physical attacks on the chi, this technique can nullify such damage by making the chi itself nearly non-existent within his body.

-Void Omega: This is much like Alpha with the exception that, through this, one can manipulate the shape of the void to become more adaptable and flexible to the nature of an Airbender. For instance, a slash or a rod for wider or more direct attacks. These won’t be physical, so by manipulating the shape one can more easily capture an opponent into the area of effect.

-Void Zeta: This is simply the ability to create multiple small Void Alphas at a higher speed. This technique is done by striking out with a hand and use the spin of the strike to isolate the area and clasp the hand shut by the end of the strike to collapse the wind. Each use of this gives 10 uses, thus is a more fast-paced technique than the original.
