What sort of elemental would you be?

[Master Rel]

The sort of elemental (full form shape shift/change) that is part and parcel of that element...think fantasy or superhero...your whole body transforms into this element and your abilities are reflected in the potential use of the same.

Now, before the regular crowd shuffles in...looking to combine elements, have multiple elements, or otherwise circumvent a simple thought process...one...just one elemental aspect.

It will be magical based and as such can include such esoteric considerations as "wind", but other than that we are talking about a specific single word element to base the form and function of your elemental character.

Some potential considerations...

fire
rock
sand
water
metal
etc.

(esoteric)
wind
flora
fauna
spirit
concrete
etc.


While fire, rock, water, and sand are easy to picture and wrap heads around some of the others could be more challenging to picture...so explain yourself if an odd choice...that is part of the fun after all, letting others in our your processes.

Example...

Flora...body changes into plant life...vines, woody, leaves, fruit, berries, whatever...clearly a touch control of plants sort of thing...make them grow, control them, etc.

Fauna...classic would be the animal shapechanger, in part like a gorilla arm or in whole like a gorilla...or non-classical like clusters of animals like a whole body made of insects...bees, wasps, ants, roaches, etc...not all potential animals in part or whole, create a theme.

Concrete...yes yes...a combined aspect which goes against the combined rule...but in this case it would represent a whole "concrete" and not the cement, sand, aggregate, etc...so no shifting between the elements, just concrete...could be wet or cured concrete...that sort of thing...a created or man made element.


You get the idea.

Describe if you would be a superhero, supervillain, aloof elemental hermit, or other.

Provide a pic if you can find one or at least describe the look of the character in elemental form...and this form could be permanent...a curse or a blessing.

I'd be a fire elemental as per my Zodiac sign Leo.

The closest thing I could think of is the Human Torch from Fantastic 4.

I'd be happy being a conscious disembodied plasma cloud as well. If you need me, I'll be lounging about in the magnetosphere!

I'd have to go back to my early days of LARPing in high school and say Void Elemental (if that is allowable). Those suckers with some of the nastiest things around (as in, Plot would only send out 2 or 3 lesser ones for a whole town battle and that was it). Good times.

Quite specific and game related 

Think more superhero.

The fantasy aspect was to account for the magical aspect.

Not elementals as per the monsters from D&D or Pathfinder.

Sorry for the confusion.


But in regards to your thought process...an intangible aspect...perhaps the spirit element...this sort typically passes through material without issue (though some like energy or perhaps an odd metal could cause injury) and could partially materialize to cause damage or to affect the material world...some even have the theme focus of using other bodies, wearing them like a glove or a suit of clothes.

Maybe something like that?

[Master Rel]

That sort of thing 

[BenPass]

I think I'd choose water elemental, and be a bit of a hermit, choosing to help those that came nearby. And since I couldn't decide on a water elemental pic, here's one of Poseidon that I found interesting.




I imagine this picture as aiding the ship in the storm rather than trying to destroy it...

Electricity. 20-ish rebel who does things on passing whims for amusement or if you damage his pride, but mostly good.
can turn powers on and off at will
can have Thor style attacks or control computers or even put people into seizures, but is still learning all his powers.

Funnily enough I have a story character I made up along these lines

Fire. Definitely fire, with a heroine style character. The ability to control fire with her mind, to walk in it/ wrap it around herself without being burnt. Throw fireballs, making things catch on fire and burn even if they shouldn’t, imbue weapons with fire to make them more deadly. As her ability with fire increases, she gained the ability to transform into flame. A bit human torch style. Though she doesn't fly with her powers.
She discovered her ability while being attacked by some baddies  as a teen- she was terrified, wished she had some way to escape- then suddenly the baddies clothes were on fire, and she took off. She realised she had an ability with fire, and taught herself how to control it, learning new things as she went. Now she uses her abilities to protect her people from other bad people and monsters. Downside is she has a fiery nature. She is quick to anger, is emotional and a bit brash, doesn't always think before she acts. Fire responds to her emotions- if she’s near fire (torch, fireplace, campfire etc) and she’s angry, upset, scared etc the flames will flare up. She can control this but it takes a great deal of willpower. If someone annoys her too much and she's not in full control of her power, there’s a chance they’ll have little fireballs suddenly head their way, or their clothing will suddenly catch fire, whether she means to do it or not. This distances her from others a little.

My actual story character is a bit more complex, and kinda breaks rels rule of one element but ill share it regardless. Her people, a tribal human like species, has a strong affinity with wolves, some are able to speak the language of wolves. Fire is the element of transformation, and she has a unique ability to take the shape of a giant wolf but with solid fire due to her connection with a wolf spirit. Very handy especially when fighting other tribes or monsters, however it further complicates things since whenever she’s in wolf form she runs the risk of losing control completely and turning into a vicious creature with no qualms about killing. The longer she stays in wolf form, the harder it is to force herself to change back. But when she’s in her human like form, she feels the constant desire to change into the wolf form- the longer she spends in human form the stronger the desire. It’s a constant internal battle.

I'd go with a Dream elemental ...

I have the ability to manipulate people's dreams and can make them day dream if I needed a hasty escape ...

I would take normal human form but when I used my "ability" I would disappear and end up in there dream ..

Think Freddy Krueger but I would use it for good ... Inception like ... Infiltrate the dreams of bad people and make them see the light ..

That is way outside the box!

Interesting indeed

Yeah, I got that. Here's a better explaination for what was meant.
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Nothingness_Manipulation

As for transformation-esque physical appearances, one can infer it would most likely be comprised of Dark Energy or Darkness. .........

Which is why I said, "If that is allowable".

[Jev Moldara]

I would be a Physics Elemental. This would allow me to adjust or negate the laws of physics as needed, meaning that I could do literally anything.

So an emptiness element aspect?  Interesting...what direction were you thinking?  What theme for the application?

It is just a for fun creative process game lol...anything within the guidelines is allowable...though there will be much frowning, brow beating, and stink eye aplenty if OP'ed!

You can't just play along...always has to be "I can literally do anything?"...

An abstract aspect of physics could be in there for sure...but what area of physics, what "element" are you thinking.

The idea is not to wield powers but to be the power...fire, man made of fire...rock, man made of rock...of course there is more to the details...but there still need s to be a specific defining aspect...something to become or to be transformed into permanently like Swamp Thing who is the avatar of the life force of the swamp...the element of swamp mana...that one is a bit of a stretch but a fun one.

The element I happened to choose was the Laws of Physics. If Kresnik can can be a Dream Elemental, my choice should be just as valid. As to the "can do anything" aspect, I can find amazingly powerful uses for any super ability, and being an elemental of the Laws of Physics allows me to rewrite those laws as I see fit, even if it's limited to a small area.
