Article Collaboration and Improvement DriveThe Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive works on an article that needs a lot of help to reach featured-article standard. The subject of this week's article improvement drive is Chuck Cissel (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 24 Dec 2024 - provided by User:AnomieBOT/RandomPage via WP:RANDUNREF):  Aang is a fictional character and the main protagonist for Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. He is voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen. Twelve-year-old Aang is the last surviving Airbender, a monk of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple, and is a supercentenarian at the incarnation age of 112. He is the current incarnation of the Avatar, the spirit of the planet manifested in human form. Aang, as the Avatar, controls the elements and is tasked with keeping the Four Nations at peace. Aang is the series' reluctant hero and comic, spending a century in suspended animation before joining new friends Katara and Sokka on a quest to master the elements and save their world from the war-hungry imperialist Fire Nation. You can still help with last week's article, World War I, or help pick next week's article.
