Well random yapping about my random ELEMENT AU
Well I actually got to write it more like a story or fic but for now your need to be happy with this.
✨Explanation ✨:
So there are two types of people: The magic one and the normal one.
The magic one doesn't need to be fully human. It's actually more possibile for a magical person to have some magical creatures in their's family tree (the "primitive talents"). And the closer they have the magical creature's blood they will be more powerfull. There are also people that just have the power without having magical creatures in their's family tree (the "Human talents").
And for either of them there are two groups of elements:
The "good" one: fire, sun, water, sea, nature, plants, air and wind
The "good" ones are easier to take of them control but most of them are pretty deadly to their's host. People with these elements are usually safe when trained, but the not trained ones are dead by the time their's magic eat them from the inside.
But the "evil" one: dark, shadows, night, steel, gravity, time and death
These are intresting because they are much more difficult to take control of but also won't demage your body on purpose. The hosts lives are usually pretty difficult because even when you take control over them, they won't stop realising with your emotions. But there is no training. People are afraid of them, always were once because of religion once because they are just.... problematic. Well they are just very difficult and diffrent.
And there's only one way to get rid of your power... Leash it.
There are many ways of leashing but either way there are two categories: permanetly one and the "break" one (just a bit time without it and you also get rid of your emotions too).
So also a person can "train" themselfs to use an element, to translate it... You have a young person who's parents wanted them to be magical. Their's parents will use "therapy" for the chosen element, there is a little chance that small bit of power will grow inside the person.
There are also some stuff that is more common to some elements (if you're born with it):
Air, wind, gravity, nature and dark are usually good archers.
Death, time and night are mostly psychos.
Fire and Sun are usually not good swimmers but do well with emotions
Water and sea are good swimmers.
Some people can achive "harmony" and that is complete control of your power. But you must be careful... If not your power is kept inside for too long will litteraly eat your body and brain.
Well the story its self will be published soon but for now I will only tell you the character and their's element/elements.
