I have seen those episodes more times each than Momo has made appearances in the show. I know Metal Bending and I know Blood Bending. I wanted to know about the new elements involved in the roleplay and what role Metal and Blood serve in said roleplay.
And Toph is not bending Metal. Metal Bending is just a slang usage of the technique, since all she's doing is bending Earth. In crude pieces of metal there are significant traces of Earth minerals. We're not talking "Magneto", we're talking bruteforcing metal through the usage of Earth.
In all simplicity, I know. I suppose you missed the "Hardcore Avatar Fanatic" part of my post.
Anyhow, thanks for whatever.

I preety much just set this into a FAR future from when Aang was alive. So I just thought bending would have to evolve eventually so in this time earth benders can bend wood and SOME can bend metal. And also I have watched the blood bending episode. I know you can only use blood bending with a full moon but like I said I had to rush because the explanation I wrote before was erased because right in the middle my computer shut down.Well I wouldn't put it that way. Of course an Avatar would be stronger than most with also having the Avatar State. So i would say more lime Avatar the Advanced Bender.... I'm just trying to swith things up but it'll fall together hopefully...
Metal and Blood bending are made by highly sensitive Earth respective Water benders and is not a technique one would be able to teach out. Toph mastered Metal bending because she had heightened perception of the surrounding area and could feel every fabric of a metal design.
Blood bending is not restricted to a full moon, but same as with Metal bending, it require a powerful Water bender, and to date there has not been any bender able to do it without the full moon because there has not been a Toph of the Water tribe.
About the combo bending, it would be my suggestion to not go with it if your intentions are to stay true to the Avatar saga. If you are not too picky with staying true to the mechanics of Avatar, that's fine too. But in all simplicity, combo bending is illogical. It's a fanfictional deviation from the Avatar world.
There is just one question that need to be asked: Why complicate things. What's wrong with the traditional four elements in all their purity? Everything you come across in Avatar is simply a variation of an element and needless to be listed when you list your characters bending technique.
I feel I should also remind you that bending is a dominating gene. Anyone able to bend more elements than one is a blasphemy to nature itself, since only the Avatar must master multiple elements.
