Elemental-Kin

Strands of Reality, Be My Boon

"A torrent of voices, prismatic and wholly discordant pour out from the remains. Of this the first is formed, and soon enough, the others follow."

-Unknown Author, A Great Birth

Elemental-Kin 

---

Birth From Death One of the spawn of the Great Dragon, Elemental-Kin are Gershon's elemental power given form.

The Elemental-Kin were born of disorder; they were an indirect result of The Rend. Formed from the remaining elemental energy of The Dragon after his death, Elementals began to spread around the world. Some of these Elementals would begin to gain a more physical form, becoming the Elemental-Kin of today.
Elemental-Kin are created in a sense. When an Elemental gains enough energy, and it chooses to become a physical being, an event known as "The Formation" occurs. The Formation happens over the course of a single day, and when it is finished, they have a full grown body formed of the surrounding elements^A. Often times Elemental-Kin will help Elementals on their journey to become Elemental-Kin.

Elementally Attuned Elemental-Kin hold a special bond with the elements around them.

All elemental-Kin have a deep connection to the world around them, resulting in some form of control over the element they are made of. While there is a wide diversity of the elements that a Kin can be created from, the five main categories are styled after the five constituents of the world - Fire, Ice, Sand, Lightening, and Void. Fire Elemental-Kin tend to be hot to the touch, with some even being completely covered in flame. Ice Kin are often so cold that the moisture around them undergoes constant sublimation as it reacts with the sudden mixture of heat and cold. Sand Kin often have dust coming off of them or cracked earthy skin. Those that are lightening attuned likely offer a shock upon contact, and Void Elemental-Kin can go great lengths of time without light or air. Each Kin is unique - even within their own element - to the point that it would be impossible to describe how each one could interact with the world around them.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Elemental-Kin are humanoids with similarities to Humans in looks and size. While there is some variability in how Elemental-Kin are formed (and what they are formed of), overall they've taken a very Humanlike design.

Biological Traits

While in the Elemental stage, they don't really have a gender. As they become Elemental-Kin, they will often choose their form as it becomes much more akin to other species. Other than appearance, this choice doesn't usually affect much else - especially since Elemental-Kin do not reproduce through normal means.

Growth Rate & Stages

Elemental-Kin do not grow - in a traditional sense at least. They do lose energy over time, causing them to go though side effects similar to aging (notably getting weaker and losing hair color). As they lose energy, they also change coloration, often becoming lighter in color. Once they've lost too much energy to keep up their form, they dissipate, and while the individual is gone, new elementals can be formed from the process.

Ecology and Habitats

Elemental-Kin prefer habitats similar to what they are formed of.
Storm Elemental-Kin will often follow lightening storms as it is energizing to them. Most are found in areas of frequent storms. They will often also live on mountains as to get as close to the sky as possible.
Sand Elemental-Kin mainly live in deserts and among the sandier regions of the world. Some have found homes by the oceanside as well.
Ice Elemental-Kin tend to make their home in the northern region of the world. Places that are usually inhospitable to others due to the extreme temperatures are perfect for them.
Fire Elemental-Kin prefer the hotter areas of the world. They can often be found around volcanos or deserts.
Finally, there are Void Elemental-Kin which are a bit of an interesting case. They will often either be found in the depths of Vathos or as high up to Choros as possible. An optimal biome for them are the Glittering Caves found within Vathos.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Elemental-Kin eat normal foods despite their origin. While they have come from a non-physical form that didn't have need for food, they must maintain their body.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Elemental-Kin are widespread in the world, but the largest population can be found on Olasengrad, their birthplace. Olasengrad has the highest concentration of elemental energy making it a popular spot for Elemental entities.

Average Intelligence

Elemental-Kin will more than often forget most if not all of their life as an Elemental . They however, keep their kinship with the elementals and still bear a connection to the elemental energy around the world.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

With their special attunement to the world around them, Elemental-Kin are able to peer into the physicality of creation, often seeing the true nature of their surroundings. With this sight, they can see through Illusion and detect things unseen by the naked eye. This is referred to as Truesight.

Civilization and Culture

History

Elemental-Kin, along with the Draconic Entities and Primordials, were born of the remains of The Dragon after sacrificing himself in the Rend to save Olasengrad. A mass of elemental energy was released across the continent, and from this chaos, the Elementals were made. Over time, as a side effect of the growing magic in the world, some elementals became powerful enough to take a more physical form, becoming the Elemental-Kin.

^A>>:Witnessing a formation is a pretty amazing event. The Elemental will settle in a mineral rich spot and completely lose sense of its surroundings. The nearby elements will begin to be pulled to the Elemental from the surrounding material as a body slowly forms. The flow happens in unique patterns, in a water-like fashion. If you pay close attention enough, you can see some of the elements begin to combine and react to form the necessary components for life. Depending on the kind of elemental, more of a specific material will be used in the design of the body.
