Q: Can my character be part of the military? A: Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, but keep in mind there have been eighty years of peace between AtLA and LoK.

A: No. In order to be traditionally raised to Galgori standards, your character must be no younger than forty years old. This is, however, still fairly young, and will need a good explanation. Please post in the Galgori thread if you have further questions.
