Elemental affinity

Your character can have an elemental affinity, giving them a positive influence and boosted powers over an element. IF YOUR CHARACTER HAS AN ELEMENTAL AFFINITY, THEY WILL BE WEAKENED BY THE OPPOSING ELEMENT.

Fire:
A character with a Fire affinity usually has the ability to manipulate the explosive power of fire and some perks may include resistance to high temperature. The spells at their disposal are usually on the offensive side. The Fire element beats Nature and Ice. It is weak against Water.

Water:
A character with an affinity with Water has the graceful ability to manipulate Water. Some perks include good swimming and sometimes the ability to breath under water. Water tends to be somewhat on the defensive/Healing side. The Water element beats fire and works well in conjunction with Ice. It is beaten by Lightning.

Lightning:
A character with an affinity with Lightning has the shocking ability to harness the power of electricity. Spells and abilities tend to hit quickly and frequently and deal with speed. Lightning is mostly offensive with a few worthy support skills. The Lightning Element beats Water and is good paired with Wind. It is beaten by Earth.

Nature:
A character with an affinity with Nature has the ability to enhance the surrounding environment. Sometimes slow to take effect, Nature magic can cause havoc with status effects, and prolong fights with its healing. Nature is known for being mostly supportive with many healing spells at its disposal. The Nature Element beats Earth and Wind and has a resistance to Water. It is beaten by Fire and Ice.

Earth:
Characters that choose Earth tend to have higher than usual offensive and defensive abilities. The spells tend to be pretty straight forward, but tend to hit hard. The Earth element beats Lightning and is weakened to Wind.

Ice:
Characters with an affinity to Ice often show it in their “cool” personalities. The spells work best in cold weather. They tend to be mostly defensive with a few support enhancements. Ice beats Nature and works well next to Water and Wind spells. It is beaten by Fire.

Wind:
Characters with a Wind element are usually rather pretty looking and graceful. The spells they favor can qualify as “playful”, they specialize in Healing and Support. This element beats Earth, and works well with Lightning and Ice magic. Wind is beaten by Nature.

Light:
Light and Holy are two very similar elements which may eventually be combined into one. But for now, Light is the offensive side. Light destroys Darkness and works well with Holy. It is beaten by Shadow.

Holy:
Holy is the Healing/supportive side. It contains many healing spells and the ever popular “Holy” spell. It Works well with Light and beats Shadow. It is beaten by Darkness.

Shadow:
Shadow is another element that may end up combined with its “helper” Darkness. Shadow is usually a sneaky Defensive type of magic. Shadow beats Holy and works well with Darkness. It is beaten by Light.

Darkness:
Darkness is the other end of Shadow. This one is more offensive and spells are usually powerful. Darkness beats Light and works well with Shadow. It is beaten by Holy.

Gravity:
Gravity is a fun power that can partially control…the gravity. It is mostly offensive but doesn’t have very many spells. As Of now it doesn’t beat any particular element, but it works well with Earth magic. It is beaten by Wind because wind is light, where gravity does more damage to heavy things.

Dreams:
This is a new idea sounds like fun to me. With the element of Dreams one will have the ability to wreak havoc in people’s dreams. You can cause nightmares, or abolish them, and the can also enduce sleep. It works well with Darkness and is beaten by Light.

The following is a list of the races for your character

Races

Race: Humans
Elemental Affinity: None
Elemental Weakness: None
If you don’t know what a human looks like, then go look in a mirror. Humans usually do fairly well in any give area, but never truly master it. They are very resourceful and good at thinking and problem solving. They cannot have an elemental affinity or weakness, but they can still dabble in the magic arts, but only at an average to above average level. If they study two elements, especially opposite elements, their spell casting suffers. They can get along with any race.

Race: Piscodemon
Elemental Affinity: Water
Elemental Weakness: Lighting
If you’ve ever played Final Fantasy (especially tactics) then you may remember these guys. They basically look like a squid on top of a body. Or a human with a squid head and tentacles for arms. They thrive in the water (obviously) and all have to ability to breath underwater. However, they are at a disadvantage on land, they have trouble climbing and are slow in a foot race. They are weakest in the air or up very high. Some speak English, some speak gibberish. Fish language, sounds like a bunch of meaningless sounds and squishes to anyone else. Usually behave oddly (By human and any other race’s standards). No one ever really knows what these guys are doing.

Race: Elves
Elemental Affinity: Nature, Wind, Water
Elemental Weakness: Fire, Ground, Lightning,
These Elves are modeled after the tall, graceful, pretty, pointy eared kind. They are at home in forested areas and places where nature thrives. Naturally graceful and exceptional balance, they excel in high places. However, they falter underground. They like to solve problems intelligently and don’t often get caught up in their temper (Except maybe with a Dwarf). Prefer the natural look over the industrialized scene. They prefer the company of the Bird Race.


Race: Dwarves
Elemental Affinity: Fire, Earth
Elemental Weakness: Water, Wind
Your standard short, bearded miners. They rule when underground but fail when off the grounds surface. They have very good balance (When firmly on the ground) and are usually pretty strong. They like to build things out of hard strong material. They think Elves are pussies and get along well with Humans.

Race: Avian
Elemental Affinity: Wind
Elemental Weakness: Ice, Nature
If you’ve ever played Wind Waker, this race looks similar to the Rito (?) tribe. They have a human like body with a bird head, clawed feet, and wings on their back (they have a pair of normal fingered hands). They are masters of flight and are most at home in the air or up high. They cannot swim. They are usually very proud and respect strong people, be it in physical strength or spirit. They don’t get along well with the Drakes or the Cat people.

Race: Drake
Elemental Affinity: Any, Often Fire
Elemental Weakness: Opposite
They look human with a few Dragon characteristics such as horns, a tail, or wings. While they cannot breath fire (or their respective element), they are still very masterful of their element. However, they cannot even learn the simplest of spells of another. They are very strong and enjoy fighting, but they are not very good at solving problems that don’t require force. They prefer melee weapons over long range combat. If they have wings they can fly, but not for long distances. They are very enthusiastic and often try to be very friendly with any race.

Race: Cat-person
Elemental Affinity: None
Elemental Weakness: Water
A staple in Anime! A human with cat ears, a tail, sometimes whiskers, and cat-like behavior. Their personality varies, some are lazy or often sleepy, some are very playful, and some can be rather grumpy. They all have excellent balance and often land on their feel. They despise water, so they don’t get along well with the Piscodemons, and the Bird people don’t really like them. They don’t practice magic, but rely on their wits and charm instead.

Race: Beast
Elemental Affinity: Any
Elemental Weakness: Opposite, and Fire (Unless they are Fire)
Basically anything that’s not a cat person. They can have characteristics of a dog, sheep, horse, or any other animal that isn’t given its own race. Their general behavior and personality usually match with whatever animal they are. They are still human in appearance. The most that will be added are ears, horns, fins, wings, and tails.

Race: Aquarion
Elemental Affinity: Water and maybe some others, but never Lightning.
Elemental Weakness: Opposite, and Lightning
Basically anything that’s not a Piscodemon. They can have characteristics of various sea life that isn’t given its own race. Their general behavior and personality usually match with whatever animal they are. They are still human in appearance. The most that will be added are ears, horns, fins, wings, and tails.

Race: Angel
Elemental Affinity: Light/Holy
Elemental Weakness: Shadow/Darkness
Angel is their race due to appearance only. They look like Humans with angel wings. Having wings, they can fly, better than the Drakes, but not as good as the Birds. They despise the Demon race due to some old war of sorts. They have Holy powers in the magic sense, not the divine sense. Usually have good intentions, or rather, they firmly believe that they are in the right. Angels do not have to be pure good.

Race: Demon
Elemental Affinity: Any
Elemental Weakness: Opposite
Demons usually seem to have hostile intention, but they usually just do what’s best for them, not often caring about the consequences with regard to others. So you can think they are selfish. They can look like just about anything you can imagine (as long as it’s mostly human looking in nature.) They can have a variety of powers and abilities. They think the Angels are weenies. Demons are not pure evil.

Suggested by foreverchanging
Race: Mystic
Elemental Affinity:Darkness, Shadow
Elemental Weakness: Holy, Light
Mystics are a race of humans devoured by chaos and curruption. This race has no respect for anyone not in their affinity. In 1 hand they hold a dagger. In the other, a staff, forged by insanity. At the cost of pain and suffering, a Mystic can use a strange form of magic to enhance one's abilities, or increase the power of a spell. Whilst the Mystics are renowned for their great stratedgy and offence, they majorly lack defence - coated only in rags, and other soft material clothing. Some mystics are gifted with small horns, or a devil's tail.



Please keep your character human in appearance. They may have tails, wings, fins and ears, but no animal heads or bodies. The only exceptions being Birds and Piscodemons.

No Pokemorphs. That means a Pokemon that looks human, or a human with Pokemon characteristics (like a Pikachu’s tail.)
