Elemi 2.0

Appearance: Depending on their Elemental properties Elemi can have a wide range of hair color, skin tones, skin colors, and overall looks. In a general sense though they are all very average sized humanoids with the jarring physical feature of abstract amounts of variances that can appear within the race. Their hair and skintone usually matches closely to the element of their relation. Emotions often have a physical effect on the Elemi, unlike most races, as strong emotions of any kind can trigger a sort of visual effect from the Elemi; A fire Elemi's hair firing up as they become embarassed, a lightning Elemi sparking as they get angry, etc etc.

Due to the nature of their history they were known to have donned clothing that looks reminiscent of olden pre-tech armor. Recent years have brought up light to the almost-dormant Elemi as they welcomed with open arms the more advanced armor of the time. So, they aptly adapted their style into them to retain the look of the old while accepting the use of expanding and super-durable space armor.

Hybrids from Elemi are often less diverse in color and emotional spur than the whole-blooded parent due to the mixing of blood. Indeed, the hybrid Elemi will probably look more like the other race rather than their Elemi parent as the main attribute usually physically expressed by the offspring will be their flare-ups.

Background:

Elemi originated from an Earth-like planet known by the name Es-03 to most others. Matteria was the name given by those who still were among the Elemi society later described. It's very unclear how the race came to be or how they managed to keep around despite their home-planet having been deemed inhospitable millenniums ago. They didn't have the tech nor neighbors around to transport the Elemi from their hostile lands, so the records say. The race was thought to have been gone entirely for at least that long. Any of these records are nearly gone, only known by what we can see of the Elemi today. It's to be believed this race had somehow made their way out of the Galaxy and back in.

The Modern Elemi are known for their warrior-like disposition towards everyone, including their own. Unlike most warrior people, they end to be more passionate to other strives as well as being empathetic towards those who cannot fight. This is just a general rule of their societies however, as these people come in almost as much of an abundance of flavors as humans do. Most, if not all of them, are unique in most ways and alike in a few. Mainly because the Elemi's race are based around the elements of the Universe and their abilities surrounding them. This weird trait is only slightly hereditary, as Parent Elemi cannot expect their child to be of the same element as they are. It's within their early childhood that they receive their element by chance and in turn their true name. Until then, all are born of grey and dull color, given less traditional names.

The Elemi have not been around again for more than a century. They've taken just long enough to be introduced into the Galactic society and assimilated into the more modern life that everyone lived in. Well, mostly. Several Elemi claim to be in their 200's, and all within them agree that the race has a decent lifespan. Surprising enough is the fact that some of the three-digits still looked to be in their prime. Such strange creatures.

The Modern Elemi have taken from a lot of various races to form what they call their culture. Given this observation, it was clear that they seem very observant and intelligent by nature. Absorbing details about not only others, but themselves, to be able to mold what is considered today to be "A warrior race with some finesse and empathy". They have little qualms with any others as a whole, again coming to the point of how much variance there is within the race. They're mercenaries, doctors, warriors, scientists, engineers, anything you could possibly mold out of them. Some, due to their elemental nature, are obviously more suited for certain tasks. However, nothing really stops an Elemi from doing something other than... well, others. There's an oddball out of them all however.

A living legend of a man with the power to unleash his element in such a way that he is called a 'super elemi'. This warrior went by the name of Zenon, and his gaseous spew of power was immense enough to shatter natural satellite's atmospheres. His power was once thought to be enough to restore their home planet to it's glory, but attempts have failed plausibly due to his nature. Since then he has grown old and formed a society around this idea of restoration. In this time a group coming to be known as the 'Home World Reclamation Effort', or the HWRE, has taken duty in finding ways to revive this planet thought multiple efforts. While their strive is still new and didn't bear any fruit they are still rather confident in restoring the homeworld back to their ancestor's glory.

Many known Elemi have coalesced in a space colony surrounding their fallen Planet Matteria, naming the central citadel ship HOME. Life there is calm for the most part. Most residents work hard on the ships to maintain themselves with food, water, air, and going out on expeditions to their inhospitable planet and the surrounding solar system regularly. Being on the tail end of the southern quadrant of the galaxy, there is not much activity around here despite their common being here. The place is ruled over by a power-based oligarchy. Members who show both their physical prowess and care for their people. The Home World Reclamation Effort, or the HWRE for short, make their home here as well and most if not all the residents' belief in the organization.

Lead under the council on HOME, the HWRE and Elemi society at large there has representatives who hold office by merit of their sector that chooses them or by raw power. Something more elemi can get behind. Xenon, the elder elemi, is the head of the council and usually makes the final vote on many hot topic issues. Things nominally go his way, and he has the most sway in the oligarchical representative government here. Most elemi are fine with the regulations and rules, mandated jobs and education because they were all there with a purpose. But many elemi decide to go out and explore the cosmos further.



Lifespan - By default, they live roughly 250 years... But for every great step forward in power, the elements within the Elemi prolong their life span. They do not age physically during this time, as death by age is more like a candle wick going out, or a battery losing its charge. They remain in their prime up to their eventual quiet (or violent) death. [For each level they double their life span. ex: A level 3 elemi has a lifespan of 1,000 years.] [Every other level for Hybrids]

Fight to Learn - A race fueled by emotion, the will and ability to fight molds one's character and skill. [The Elemi have 10% increased PL gains.] [5% for Hybrids]

Well-attuned Powerhouses - Born from the elements, Elemi are naturals in dishing out their respective powers. [+x1 Offensive Power. All offensive attacks gain a +5% to their offensive power. ex: An OT-2 becomes 55% PL of Damage but is still 50% Speed. A BG melee becomes 15% PL of Damage in melee finesse but is still 10% of its speed. Hybrids do not get this until level 3. Increases to +x2 and +10% power to offensive at level 4 for full-blooded Elemi.]

Diverse Elements - In addition to the above, which all elemi share, each type of elemi has traits that are unique to it by design. This is chosen at creation and cannot be altered except with a wish from the dragon balls. These grant variant technique effects that can be put onto any techniques and increases in use every level (gained every other level for hybrids). UPON CREATION, please put what type of elemi the character is next to the race!

Enrage - Elemi have very strong connections to their element at hand and their emotions. Attached by a physical 'spark' that will trigger should their emotions be strong enough. Sometimes anger can allow the Elemi to go beyond its normal capacity. It takes a special bit of training to be able to to get this to happen by will. [x3] (30k+ for controlled use.)

Super Elemi - Some strong bonds with nature and emotions are great enough to cause the Elemi to show off their element brilliantly. There's been only one thus far in records to show off this much capacity for power. Hair erupts, turning into literal fire, ice, electricity, etc. Their eyes glow brightly with passion and color. There's no telling where this power within comes from, only the knowledge that they possess it. {Requires an emotional spike for first use.} {125k+} [x14]

Attuned Super Elemi - Trained properly the Super Elemi form can be properly balanced and less straining to the user. They, in turn, have better control over their techniques and body alike. This Super Elemi form is much less flashy compared to its predecessor. {Requires [PT-1] Ki Suppression} {175k+} [x21]

Note: Attuned Super Elemi can be obtained even if you were never able to obtain the right emotional spike for super elemi.

Unleashed Super Elemi - Bigger, flashier, and more dangerous than ever. The Super Elemi form is stepped up a notch by shrouding their entire form in a colored frame matching their element's color scheme as well as turning their elemental showcasing up to 11. This colored frame glows brightly as an outline around their body. The Offensive power gained from this is impressively stepped up from their Super Elemi form. {Requires an even more emotional spike for first use.} {245k+} [x33 Offensive/x25 Defensive]

Mastered Super Elemi - With controlled use of the Unleashed Super Elemi form now under their belt, the Mastered form is much like the attuned form, with the exception that the bold, colorful frame around their bodies remains in contact. {Requires [PT-1] Ki Sense} {350k+} [x36]

True Elemental - Their bodies, instead of releasing more and more of their inner element, instead conceal it within and on their bodies. The elemi's eyes adopt a black sclera and their form adopts small additions of their element. Think of it as being an elemental end of itself. Showing the true essence of their nature and element. {430k+} [x46]
