''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender Revised]]'', or ''A:TLAR'', is an all-out [[Alternate Universe Fic]] / [[Continuity Reboot]] [[Fanfic]] of [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]], written by Lovelyb0nes on the Avatar Wiki. Akin to the basic formula of the original series, the series follows two water tribe siblings, an airbender that was frozen one hundred years ago, a blind earthbender and an exiled Fire Nation prince, whose journeys eventually converge in an epic mission to end a hundred-year war. There are significant differences between these two series, though. Aside from most of the cast not sharing names with the Original Series' characters, essentially all of the characters in ''ATLAR'', major, supporting and minor alike, have significantly different characterizations compared to their inspirations from the Original, [[Fan Dumb|which is responsible for much of the ire from ATLA's fanbase.]] In a paraphrasing of the creator and writer's words:
 
"This series has no intention of being a rerun of the original series. I have no intention to recreate the personalities of the original characters. This is in no way intended to be a [[Fix Fic]]; I do not for a second believe that this is [[Better Than Canon]]. I simply desire to tell an original story, in a universe that is fundamentally different from ATLA's, that serves as a tribute to Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dimartino's masterpiece."

With that out of the way, the series revolves around three protagonists, Kyasin, Zotu and Ain, while Kyasin's younger brother Sakodi, Sai, a con artist from the Earth Kingdom, Zotu's mentor, Indo, and the central antagonist, Azul, round out the main cast.
 
Kyasin is a nineteen year old waterbender and the chieftess of the Southern Peak water tribe, who defends their island home from bands of Fire Nation mercenaries and military raiding parties alongside her brother, Sakodi. They were entrusted to share the leadership of their tribe, by their father Hakido, after he and about half of the tribe's warriors were conscripted as allies to the Earth Kingdom military. After discovering Ain on the ocean floor, Kyasin recognizes the opportunity of a lifetime; she and her brother can work towards ensuring their tribe's safety, as their father told them to do, through a greater goal: organizing a revolutionary movement that unites the remaining water tribes, the EK's military and civilians, and the citizens of the lands that the firebenders have colonized, by using Ain, the Avatar Spirit's Host, as a symbol of hope. However, [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized|she is willing]] [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|to utilize the most violent of methods]] [[He Who Fights Monsters|to ensure their success against the oppressive Fire Nation.]]
 
Ain is a sixteen year old Avatar Monk that froze himself as a form of self-exile, claiming that he [[Refusal of the Call|was unwilling to accept the life that was laid before him.]] One is led to assume that he is referring to his status as the Avatar Host, (that is to say, a piece of the immensely powerful Avatar Spirit's essence dwells within him, marking him as the bridge between the Spirit Realm and the Physical Realm, and the only human that can access those levels of bending power) and he is most certainly a [[I Just Want to Be Normal|reluctant messiah.]] However, [[Good Is Not Nice|at the intense insistence of the Spirit]], Ain agrees to accompany Kyasin and Sakodi on their journey through the Earth Kingdom and serve as their revolution's symbol.
