HOW DOES MY CHARACTER GET AN ELEMENT THINGY-MOBOB? AND HOW DO THEY LEARN ABOUT THEM AS CHARACTERS?
When you join your human/lycanthrope character on the "BEGIN" board, the Application will contain a bolded section requesting your desired Element. You are free to choose between Neutral, Water, Fire, Air & Earth. (Nothing more unless another element is added later.) Characters can learn about everything from Phoenixes to elements through the TOWN LIBRARY located on the, you guessed it, “TOWN” board. Sometimes, depending on the history you choose for your character, parents or other adults may have taught them as children of their Island home and the things within it.
WELL WHAT ARE THESE ELEMENTS YOU SPEAK OF, CRAZY LADY?
Elements are considered Alliances on the Island of Inhale. When a human or lycanthrope reaches the age of 18, the legal adult age, their elements awaken much like the awakening of a hatchling within its egg as its bonded nears. When your character reaches the correct age, the element they are given will become as apparent in their minds as the bond of a dragon, because elements are instinct. If you are given, or choose to be Neutral, then you are unbiased to the war. You will either not have an alliance or join the Neutral alliance settled between the other four. Being neutral also gives you a wider range of Dragons. Colors will be more diverse than those of elemental dragons. Breed follows just the same, if in fact neutral is an option for that particular breed. Please seek out the Dragon Information thread for more information. Phoenixes are the same.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING AN ELEMENT?
For those characters with elements, there are many different advantages. Elements give characters strengths that neutrals lack, such as, perhaps physical strength, mental strength, wisdom, collection of emotions or of mood, and abilities to control the Element you have. By control, we mean as your character and their bonded mature and advance on the island, they will begin to develop special abilities that give them manipulation over whatever element they have. I.E a water element with a young bonded would have minor control over water. As a water element with an older, more mature dragon would have greater control and manipulation over their element. (We will describe the different abilities later below)
HOW ARE ELEMENTS CONNECTED TO THE ISLAND?
They can clearly affect the way your character interacts with other characters. Such as, a water element would probably not be to fawned of a fire element. Probably. Therefore, you are required to respect this. Come on! It adds to your posts! Rivalries are expected to occur regularly. (SUBMARiNE” LOVES CONFLICT >D) Because of this, the Elemental Alliances are Constantly At War.
