At an unknown point in time, a man stood alone and confused in an empty, pitch black void that also seemed to have light at the same time, but it had nothing it could interact with. The man, in his daze, looked around for something, anything that could tell him that he wasn't really alone, but found nothing. Now feeling a little dejected the man tried to calm himself down and remember who he was, and how he ended up here.

"Ok. . . I was. . . umm. . ." The man kept starting but could never continue, yet he kept trying to remember. And so time went on, the man didn't know how much time, but his mind kept going on back and forth between trying to remember anything, to entertaining himself, then to silence. However, soon something came up, and like most people with a random string, he pulled. And when he pulled, there was a name, Koda, then it moved down the line through life, playing, school, friends, family, jobs, then finally the end. The man, Koda, was making his way back home when he was suddenly jumped for whatever was in his wallet, though he did manage to get a few good hits in, but in the end it wasn't enough.

"I really hope my family is still ok." Was all Koda could bring himself to say about the whole ordeal, and right as he said that a being of soft light came into existence right in front of him.

"How interesting. Usually people are more self centered, but your more worried about the family you've made." The beings voice echoed through the void even though it was light and soft. Yet Koda couldn't bring himself to say anything.

"Don't worry about answering me right now, but seeing as you now remember everything, that means there's an opening." It continued on as Koda finally got his brain working again.

"Opening? Opening for what?" Was the first question that came up.

"Why an opening for a new life to begin. Your second life." It's simple explanation sent Koda realing.

"Why?" Was all Koda could managed to get out though.

"Because I feel that a soul like your's deserves one. Now let's begin." It stated leaving no room for argument, then it handed Koda a singular die.

"Now I've set everything up based on your previous life's interests. You're going into the world of DC's Young Justice, and based on what side that die lands on, that's the element your going to be able to bend. Then you'll be able to choose and make your body for the world." The being explained simply as it motioned for Koda to roll the die. Koda, still processing everything, gently rolled the die, and both watched on as it rolled and bounced. When it finally came to a stop both saw that the face of the die held a blue circle with waves depicted on the inside.

"Water. What a good element. Now with enough practice you have the ability to use any subsection from water bending: blood, plants, mud, sweat, and spirit. Now make your appearance." The being of light continued to explain with simplicity as it pulled up a screen in front of Koda. However, Koda was still trying to process everything, but he continued on with the process and looked through his options. Koda took a couple minutes to narrow down his options, but settled on choosing Tonraq, one of his favorite characters from that universe.

"Good choice, now your soul will awaken when your body and life have reached a certain point, but know that the memories you regain might not be the best, as that is the unfortunate deal made between myself and the ones that watch over the other universes." The being explained as Koda's mind finally managed to catch up, and he began to prepare himself for what might come. And the being waited patiently, then when Koda was ready he nodded at the being, signaling the beginning of his new life.

"Very well, good luck, and have a great life." That was the last thing Koda heard before everything went blank.
