[Aw hell, that thing. The offer’s really tempting, but...]
Honestly, I don’t want to be the sort of person who distrusts technology, but the idea of uploading my memories to some sort of database makes me a bit uncomfortable. If you’re fine with it and I don’t have to upload mine, though, it sounds like it could be a good time.
[...like, on the one hand, Tarrlok has things to hide. On the other hand, it still seems potentially invasive and creepy even if you don’t.]
But yes, they definitely are a major figure. Basically, well, it’s something of a cycle, really... you don’t really become the Avatar as much as you’re born the Avatar. The last Avatar was an Air Nomad, so when he died, a girl from the Water Tribe was born as the new Avatar. When she dies, it’ll be a child from the Earth Kingdom, then a child from the Fire Nation, and then it’ll cycle back to an Air Nomad.
