And, when it comes to elemental powers, you must assign powers based on the characters' genders. To put it simply, only boys are allowed to have "earth" or "fire" powers, while the powers of "wind" and "water" must go to the girls. That is, unless you have an all-male or all-female group.

But you can give a girl "earth" powers if "earth" = plants and animals. This is because making pretty flowers grow and charming songbirds and other cute forest animals are female powers. If the "earth" powers involve shaping stone magically or hurling boulders at someone with your mind, though, it'll be a guy.

In the event that you have a female earth character, the wind character must be male. This is because you can never have a male water character (because water = healing and healing = female, remember?), and if it's a mixed-gender group, the girls cannot outnumber the guys.

The guys can outnumber the girls, though, as long as the water element goes to the token female character.

'Water' and 'Ocean' are different elements.

'Water' and 'Ocean' are different elements.

'Water' and 'Ice' are also different elements.

So are 'Stone' and 'Earth'.

Heart is totally an element.

Nature's an element too.

Stuff like calcium, copper, or carbon, however, are definitely NOT elements.

Male-bodied humans are capable of getting pregnant and giving birth with no medical or scientific intervention. Biology? Who CARES, you want your adorable yaoi couple to have a baby, dammit!

((Inspired by the Rules For Good Mpreg some friends and I have been discussing. Mpreg only works if the rules of the universe allow for it and the author knows what they're doing. >_< wink )

Because God only knows that the only true way to show love is to have a love child, they can never wanna adopt, because adoption always leads to broken homes and/or the child wanting the real thing.

[Rieff]

Kill your main character off and then have him/her resurrected by the tears of a lover or something similar to that. Trust me, it has never been done before.

[Workplace Boredom]

Also, a child can never grow up happy with two parents of the same sex! In that family, there has to be an opposite sex figure to "balance things out"!

So if you don't want that, you have one of the parents play the fatherly figure, and the other play the motherly figure.

Yeah, and when two gay people get married, one always wears the dress, and the other wears the tux.

((Random thought: Back in the day, I used to write about a guy getting pregnant for comedy purposes. He didn't have a mutual partner except a girlfriend, and he wasn't happy about being pregnant either.))
