User blog:SevenArrows/Avatar Aang vs. Lord Voldemort



Two powerful combatants enter into battle. One a sociopathic murdering wizard, the other a master of the four elements who must maintain balance in the world. Both are adept at combat and possess great power, but in battle only one is.. The Deadliest Warrior!

Lord Voldemort - The evil wizard who mastered the Dark arts and raised an army to defeat the wizarding world and mugglesin their rightful place, under his feet. Voldemort has no trouble whipping out any who would oppose him.

Avatar Aang - The reincarnation of the Avatar Spirit, who lost his people to the fire nation and ended a one hundred year war. Aang possess the unique ability to “bend” all four elements and must use this gift to maintain balance in the world.

Abilities
As the Avatar, Aang has access to all four types of bending. Each of which grant Aang not only the associated ability, but also disciplines and fighting styles that accompany them. Aang can bend all four elements either individually, or simultaneously. He can also access a state known as the Avatar State. The Avatar state gives him enhanced bending abilities and the knowledge of all his past lives.


 * Airbending- Aang's chief bending use is that of Airbending. As an air nomad Aang first learned how to use airbending, even before learning of his status as the Avatar. The teachings of airbending give Aang increased mobility in a fight. Based on the Ba Gua (or "ccircle walking")style of martial arts, airbending is a fluid combat style that features swift smooth movements or quick bursts that have the nature of bursts of wind. Airbending also makes it difficult for an opponent to land a blow, as airbenders often avoid attacks and do not generally seek combat. Here is a list of common airbending fighting techniques.
 * Waterbending-Waterbending is a fluid form of bending that embraces change and fluid graceful movements. Based on the yang style of T'ai Chi Ch'uan martial arts, waterbending emphases control and fluidity. Rather than using directly offensive tactics, waterbenders focus on turning their opponents strengths against them and utilizing defensive postures in offensive manners. Here is a list of common waterbending fighting techniques.
 * Earthbending-TBW
 * Firebending-TBW

Training

90-75

Edge: Aang. Voldemort, while very adept at what he does, only received education from his seven years of Hogwarts. After that he was largely self-taught during his travels. Aang on the other hand was raised as an airbender since he was a young child. Even though his training in the other elements only lasted a single year in total he was able to master two of them and learned quite a deal more.

Experience

95-83

Edge: Aang. Aang participated in the war with the fire nation fighting against some of the most powerful warriors in the Avatar world, including Fire Lord Ozai at the peak of firebending power aided by Sozin’s comet. Voldemort on the other gained an army using his skills as a wizard, but more importantly his intelligence and dominating personality rather than conquest. While he easily had the skill to fight at the head of his troops, he often chose to command rather than enter the fray himself.

Intelligence

78-93

Edge: Voldemort. While Aang is not unintelligent, Voldemort has shown himself to be very cunning and a master at planning his next move outside of combat, and knowing his opponent’s weaknesses in it. He is manipulative and megalomaniacal and was considered one of, if not the, top student at Hogwarts in his time.

Agility

98-50

Edge: Aang. Aang’s training as an airbender has taught him how to move in such a way that the user to find the path of least resistance in any given situation. This means that in combat, even without airbending, Aang will move about the battlefield constantly rather than maintain one place. Airbending itself is very dynamic and will allow Aang to make movements not possible to someone without similar abilities. Voldemort has shown little in this area aside from normal feats of dodging and such.

Creativity

90-80

Edge: Aang. Aang is a very creative person; it is part of his character. He has been shown to use his bending abilities, most notably airbending, in unusual ways, going so far as to create a new airbending technique that was accepted by other airbenders. Voldemort is by no means uncreative. He too has been shown to use uncommon spells and seek new ways to defeat his opponents.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Brutality

<p style="text-align: center;">30-90(Avatar state)-100

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge: Voldemort. Without question Voldemort is very brutal in his methods. His way of “announcing” himself to the wizarding world consisted of forming an army of dark creatures and wizards….and using it to slaughter muggles and wizards alike and wage bloody war on the wizarding community. Aang on the other hand is, for the most part a pacifist and if he can avoid doing damage, he will. Though in the avatar state, he becomes much more brutal, whipping out and possibly killing an entire fire nation fleet.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Killer instinct

<p style="text-align: center;">15-85(Avatar state)-100

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge: Voldemort. Voldemort has no qualms about killing wizards, muggles or innocents. He will not hesitate to kill and will feel no remorse. Voldemort also does not have a problem killing, or having his followers kill, children. Aang, being a pacifist, will avoid killing if at all possible and even took time out of his preparing to fight Fire Lord Ozai to find a way to defeat Ozai without taking his life. The avatar spirit has no such concerns and does what it can to keep balance, even if that means causing death.
