There's this fanfiction called 'Male OC: The Firebending Prodigy'. In this story, the male OC is a firebending genius. The story follows his training under some of the best firebenders in the world. It also shows his interactions with other benders and non - benders, which adds a lot of depth to the story.
An interesting Legend of Korra OC fanfiction idea could involve an OC who was born with the ability to control spirits directly, without the need for Avatar - like mediation. This OC could face challenges as people fear their power. Also, an OC that is a bender who has lost their bending due to some accident and has to find a new way to be useful in the world of bending. Maybe they become a great teacher, teaching non - benders how to defend themselves against benders. And then there could be an OC who is a descendant of an ancient civilization and has access to forgotten bending knowledge.
First, create a unique backstory for your male OC. For example, if he's a waterbender, think about how he learned his skills. Maybe he was taught by an old master in a secluded tribe. Second, give him distinct personality traits. He could be a bit of a rebel but with a heart of gold. Third, tie his story into the existing Legend of Korra world. He could be involved in the political unrest or the fight against new villains. This will make the story feel more connected to the source material.
One common theme is love against all odds. Since Mako has his own set of challenges and responsibilities in the show, the OC often has to navigate through those to be with him. Another theme is the discovery of self - worth. The OC usually starts as an underdog and through the relationship with Mako, they find their place in the world of the Avatar.
One great example could be a fanfic where an OC airbender is a descendant of an ancient airbending clan. In this story, the OC discovers long - lost airbending techniques. Another example might be an OC airbender who travels to Republic City to learn from the new airbenders there. They face challenges like adapting to city life and dealing with non - benders' prejudices.
One great Legend of Korra female OC fanfiction is 'The New Bender in Republic City'. It features a female OC who has a unique bending ability that she discovers while trying to fit into the city. Another is 'A Korra's Ally', where the female OC becomes an important friend to Korra during her struggles. And 'The Female OC's Adventure' which follows the OC on a journey across the Avatar world, facing various challenges and making new friends along the way.
First, think about their backstory. Where are they from? What kind of family do they have? For example, if they're from a Water Tribe, their upbringing might be shaped by the values of that tribe. Then, consider their personality traits. Are they brave like Korra, or more reserved? Their appearance should also match their personality and origin. Give them unique features, like a special mark or a distinct style of clothing. Also, think about their bending ability if they have one. How did they learn it? What makes their bending style different? All these elements combined can create a really engaging OC for your fanfiction.
First, give her a unique backstory. Maybe she's from a small, forgotten village with a special bending tradition. Then, think about her personality. Is she bold and adventurous like Korra, or more reserved and intellectual? Also, consider her appearance. Does she have a distinct style of clothing or a unique feature? For example, she could have a special tattoo that represents her family or tribe.
One plot idea could be that your OC discovers a long - lost bending technique. This could attract the attention of both good and bad forces. For example, the Red Lotus might want to use it for their own purposes, while Korra and her friends would try to protect it. Another idea is that your OC is an ambassador from a small, previously unheard - of tribe. They come to Republic City to establish relations, but face many challenges due to cultural differences and political intrigue. Or perhaps your OC has a prophecy about the future of the Avatar world and has to convince everyone, including a skeptical Korra, that it's real.
An OC could be a descendant of a long - forgotten Avatar. This OC might start having strange dreams or visions that lead them to discover their heritage and their potential power. They then team up with Korra to learn how to control this new - found power and use it for good. Or perhaps an OC who is a master of a new form of bending that combines two existing bending arts in a unique way. For example, a combination of water and earth bending to create a sort of'mud - slinging' technique that can be used both defensively and offensively. Another option is an OC who is a mechanic in Republic City but discovers a way to use their mechanical skills to enhance bending abilities, like creating a device that helps fire - benders focus their heat more precisely.
