You are walking out of a building and suddenly, like straight out of a horror film, you see a mysterious man standing just a few feet in front of you. His tall lean frame, complemented by his strong athletic build, is concealed by his dark, hooded outfit. His entire face is covered by a white enigmatic mask, giving him an air of mystery and otherworldliness. He is flanked by four other mysterious individuals. He speaks with a quiet intensity, rarely raising his voice, which makes his words feel deliberate and impactful.

Amon: ”It is time for you to be equalized.”

The Lieutenant and other Equalists behind him all take fighting stances. You dismiss this thinking you can easily handle Amon. You attack the group, quickly incapacitating the chi-blockers and the Lieutenant.

However, Amon seemingly unaffected and with minor struggle, begins walking towards you, unaffected by your attack. Each step, a testament of his prowess. You gasp and redouble your effort attacking him. Amon is halted for a moment, but with a very great effort he moves one foot forward and continues walking normally. You begin backing up in horror.

Suddenly, Amon rushes towards you, nimbly dodging every blast that you throw at him, gradually coming closer. Despite you continually attacking him, he kept gracefully and expertly dodging like a nimble dancer. However, unbeknownst to you, Amon was subtly and minimally controlling your movements with Blood Bending without revealing that he was a bender.

Amon: ”It’s time to be cleanse of your impurities.”

“What…? What are you?” You whisper in surprise and horror.

Amon: ”I am the solution.”

With that, using an impressive display of hand-to-hand combat skills, Amon reaches out and grabs your arm, twisting you around until he is standing behind you. He jabs his right hand at the base of your neck, causing you to groan, and moves his left hand toward your forehead as you watch in horror. He is about to remove your ability/power with… Blood Bending.

[Narrator: Bloodbending. Amon just as quickly mastered the rare and outlawed art of bloodbending, becoming exceptionally proficient and powerful at a young age. Under Yakone's tutelage, he mastered the technique to such an extent that he could perform it at any time, without the aid of a full moon, by the age of fourteen. At the same time, he mastered his father's unique ability to psychically bloodbend, which allowed him to bend not only through physical movement but through sheer focus and strength of will. He was able to use more common bloodbending techniques, such as body manipulation and torture, on multiple targets without exerting much energy, with the infamous crrk-ack of brutal crunchy sounds of bones moving and twisting extremely unnaturally like puppeteering (like vertebrae in the neck, knee popping out etc). The sounds effects are “gross” & “gory”. He could levitate his targets, throw them around, subdue them, and knock them unconscious. With his skill in psychic bending, he was able to minimally alter the movements of his opponents and give himself the advantage without revealing that he was a bender. He also exhibited the ability to resist bloodbending with little effort, even against Tarrlok, who had mastered the skill to a similar level.]

[Amon was eventually to use his mastery of bloodbending to "sever"/remove an individual's bending connection by blocking their active chi paths, effectively achieving the same result as energy-bending. No medical intervention is effective in reversing this.]

[Hand-to-Hand Combat]

[Narrator: Amon was a versatile combatant outside of his bending abilities. Due to his need to hide his true nature as a Waterbender, Amon largely relied on martial arts and Chi Blocking to fight. Amon's style tended to be nimble & graceful to avoid close-ranged attacks, and made the most of his natural agility. He augmented this with small applications of Bloodbending to defend against & redirect attacks. He can dodge point-blank attacks with no effort.]
