Elementals

Beings of a specific element. They usually prefer a humanoid form, as it helps them to be accepted, but can take on just about any form within their element that they wish. Elementals are only of the five main elements or subelements of them - Fire, Water, Air, Land, and Chaos - and are VERY rare.

Subelements are as follows:
* Fire: Heat, Flames
* Water: Ice, Liquid Water
* Land: Earth, Metal, Plants
* Air: Electricity, Wind, Smoke
* Chaos: Spirit, Shadow, Energy

Elementals of subelements are far more common than elementals of a full element. Elementals can control anything in their element or subelement, but drawing on too much of their element can make them forget any sentience they have, and so many only use their elemental power sparingly. Elementals ONLY bond with a creature of their element. In any form, they have aspects of their element - a fire elemental in humanoid form, for instance, will have red hair, sometimes on fire, red eyes, reddish complexion, etc, which often gets them mistaken for Chaos-spawn. In the creation myth, elementals sprang up from the gods' blood that was spilled across the land. Most tend to be very removed from the mortal sphere, and live in seclusion or with other elementals.
