Kindred

Beings of the Elements

Appearance

Kindred come in four different varieties, each one correlating with a base element: fire, water, wind, and earth. Kindred are humanoid figures made entirely of their element. but rather than having legs, they have a single appendage made of the same element. Their only other notable feature is their single, glowing eye. A newborn Kindred will typically be 6 feet tall. Depending on the amount of elemental energy consumed, a Kindred has the potential to grow to gargantuan size, or be small enough to fit in one's hand.

Behavior

The behavior of Kindred boils down to the simple need to feed on the elemental energy that forms it. This does not appear to be a biological necessity to keep the being alive. Kindred seem to feed for the sole purpose of feeding, and there seems to be no end to their hunger.

Kindred are aggressive to those that stand in their path or seek to do them harm. If an obstacle, living or not, attempts to prevent a Kindred from feeding, that obstacle will surely be attacked. However, Kindred don't appear to show any hostility toward those that choose to avoid them. In fact, it's possible for Kindred to be befriended and potentially even tamed.

Abilities

Kindred's abilities boil down to their elemental makeup. They can utilize their own body to attack others, similarly to the Manipulation school of magic. They also have the ability to float, staying suspended off the ground for an unlimited amount of time.

Notable Instances

• A Flame Kindred was transported by Sinclair to Cliff's Edge, where it broke free and befriended Guftuk, before it was lost to the harsh cold of the mountains.
