Man vs The Elements (interest thread)

[Astral Harmony]

Well, I guess I'll ask a few basic questions since I'm interested. Well, more like I'm going to make assumptions and you can correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm guessing that the parents could probably possess different elements which would result in the PC having command over both, though not as powerful as a single element-wielding PC that came from parents who used the same element.

And finally, which elements are available, anyways? When it comes to elements, you usually have earth, water, air, fire, ice, lightning, light, and darkness. Would we be more limited than that or would you perhaps be making other less traditional elements available?

was gonna save that for when I described life cycle of people like the PCs, but I should probably tell that now.

Elementals in this setting are only vaguely aware. Conceiving a half-blood like you basically takes the form of the elemental "embracing" a woman. An example of what that would actually be like is your mother being engulfed in flames to form a fire based PC. Most do not survive this, those that survive long enough after to bare a child produce people like the player. Of course after being so damaged by the embrace and trauma of child birth, most half-bloods are orphans.

To answer you more directly, you cant be a hybrid of multiple elements

I'd being very loose with what I count as "elements" to give players alot of room with what they can be. Pretty much if you have ever seen it used as one, its valid.

Though to remove this I am disallowing light and darkness, I just dont see them working. Oh and while I encourage a variety, there technically isn't anything stopping multiple people from having the same element
