This was inspired by @Easte's Avatar Ability - Past Lives.

So in this thread, firebenders are known for their drive as thats what strengthens their bending. Im suggesting that when you choose firebending, it would ask you what is your drive.

How would it look like?
You start off by choosing firebending. Then it would ask you what your drive is. You would /b drive *Input drive*.

What would the drives do?
Each drive choice would do different things. One buff to firebending, One debuff to firebending/user. One could make your firebending stronger, but my sometimes go in a random direction (Kind of like how earthsmash spawns randomly).
What are the drives?
1. "To protect the things I love."
2. "To overpower my enemies."
3. "To keep the world in peace."
4. "To cause destruction to the world."
5. "To learn the ways of fire from the days of old."
6. "To be the best probender."

What would each drive do?
1. Weaker firebending, but moves like Wall of Fire and Fire Shield can block moves.
2. Stronger firebending, but may go in random direction.
3. Stronger firebending, but decrease range. Moves are more accurate.
4.Stronger firebending and increase range, but may go in a random direction. With a small chance of a minor explosion from doing lightning.
5. Day firebending buff increases, Firemoves can slightly follow the mouse, fireshield is more of a circle, but firebending is much weaker at night.
6. Less cooldowns, firebending more accurate, but firebending is weaker and does not do as much knockback..

This does feel cool, but it feels more like the type of thing a server should do, not the plugin in itself.
The Idea: Cool and somewhat canonical.
The Implementation: Maybe as a plugin created by somebody that usually does make side plugins for projectkorra, or as in a specific server.

This sounds a lot like a previous suggestion for bender's to choose their type of element (Northen Water Tribe, Southen, ect).
The tribe suggestion seems more realistic to this and this wouldn't make much sense in the plugin. This just seems like a "choose your fighting style" but with buffs and de-buffs. I'm going to deny this.

Adding onto Loony:

We want to try to keep the elements all equal, and it makes no sense to randomly give buffs & debuffs to the same element. Over time your drive might change, which is where the unrealisticness of this comes into play.

Though some firebenders were shown to have specific "drives" for their bending, their styles of bending never changed (if it did it wasnt by alot). Over all, a firebenders strength/ability wouldnt change just because a goal. (Yes we saw Zuko get weaker for a short amount of time, but thats a different thing. He was going through a huge change and he had no anger to work off of until he found a new "drive").

A bender cant get worse at bending because of a opinion/goal they have.
