As you know, the elements are the forces that tie in with our magic, strengths, and weaknesses as well. This will be a new twist to the RP and I hope it will work out…It was hard to come up with this and typing it up as well.

There is a certain element that magic draws from: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lighting, Light, Darkness, and Aura, the non-existing element. Just as forces clash together to balance the world, these elements do the same thing.

*Note: The equal sign means opposite of. They are weakness of each other.*

Fire = Water

Wind = Earth

Light = Darkness

Lighting and Aura are both equal to all elements and can be used by a high leveled magician/warrior.

BUT, there is another thing to this: IF there was more power in a fire-based attack, it would overpower the counterattack (water).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just how magic draws from a certain element, any being has a certain affinity. A second one is added as a secondary element.

To find out, use your birthday. The month being the main, or major element, and the day, the minor element.

For example: Kenji’s birthday is May, 30th.

So his main element would be Fire. To find his secondary, go to the calendar of May, and start counting off the dates like the 1st of May would be Darkness, the 2nd would be Water and so on.

January = Darkness

February = Water

March = Wind

April = Earth

May = Fire

June = Light

July = Fire

August = Water

September = Earth

October = Darkness

November = Wind

December = Light

Just as with the first example, this also counts in a fight. If your opponent is using the opposite element attack and it hits you, it will increase in damage verses a person that isn’t the opposite. However, if you use the same element as the opponent, it would either do little damage or nothing at all.

Example: A water attack hits a Fire-elemental warrior. The warrior would take more damage than it would hit a Wind-elemental warrior.

Example #2: An Earth-based attack hits an Earth-elemental warrior but isn't affected.

Because of this, you do not want to reveal your element affinity to anyone. With knowledge, comes with good results...or bad ones.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, because Kenji has the main element, Fire, it will be his most strongest power; attack, defense, and ability-wise. Light will be his second strongest.

However, this does not mean that your character is limited to the ones you have gotten. You can use other element based attacks but it will not be as powerful as your main and secondary elements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you do find out your elements, please put it along with your character profile....And don't try to cheat the system. I'll be watching. ninja


If you have any questions, please post them in this thread and wait for a PM from me or any of the mods.

okay, first off, if the elements are supposed to be equal and opposite than you have a few flaws. if a water attack is at the same level as a fire attack, than the water will always win. If an air attack is the same as an earth, earth will when. that makes unequal properties and thus renders the tactics full of unfair advantages.

However, if the fire attack is stronger than the water attack, then the fire attack will overpower it.

Think of it like this: A wild-fire in California is raging out of control. If the firefighters don't have enough water, they can't put it out. If they have a huge amount of water, then they could put the fire out.

but like you said, the fire needs to be stronger. that means water wopuld be stronger at equal levels. that's unfair.

lol, what about get 6 pieces of paper and write a different element on them. Then throw a coin in the laid out papers and see which it lands on. Repeat steps 1 throught 1 until you get something other then fire haha.

On the first one, did you got to the exact year you were born on? Example: May 30th, 1991.
