screen-shot essay: I'm shocked, shocked, to realize that the water tribe had blue eyes and the fire nation tended to have red-gold eyes, and the earth kingdom to have green eyes. (Exception: Toph, blue. Then again, she's blind.)
Actually that *is* a bit odd, since on the surface the show leads you to think bending ability is hereditary, legend has it that the ancient ancestors *learned* the various arts (we even seen two characters re-learn from the source), so for RPG purposes I'd say that anyone (or at least any potential bender) can initially learn any element, but apart from the Avatar you're locked into that element. And of course people growing up surrounded by Xbenders will imbibe the moves and energies of X. But they never do tell us what happens in mixed marriage.
