The 7 Affinities:
Earth: Earth is one of the three most common affinities, and it is often found in males rather than females. The affinity of earth is a protective one, as the ground itself is the protection for the very soul of the Earth itself. Those with Earth affinity generally are patient, calm and reserved, but can have very bad tempers if the balance within them is disrupted. Additionally, they are generally protective of something or someone and have a devout sense of duty.
Darkness: A fairly rare elemental affinity in itself due to the secrecy of the darkness in general. Darkness hides things from the light, but it embraces those creatures who are noctournal and gives them a chance of life. Those who possess an affinity for Darkness are generally secretive, or sometimes even malevolent in nature. Their goals are obscure to everyone but themselves.
Fire: Fire is another common elemental affinity found equally in both males and females. The power of fire gives warmth to the earth and makes all life possible. Though it is chaotic in nature, fire provides the means to renew the earth of its minerals and give birth to new land. Those with an affinity toward fire generally have strong and profound emotions. When they feel something, its hard to miss whether that emotion be anger, happiness or even love.
Light: Light is another fairly common affinity. Light brings life to the majority of the living beings on the Earth. It is the beginning of day and the revealer of all hidden by the shadows. Those with affinity for light tend to look into the darkness and reveal what is there. They are generally very benevolent in nature as well and help as much as they can.
Spirit: Spirit in itself is not an element, but rather the sum of all the elements. It is an affinity that a normal human not possessing elemental powers is said to have, and can be found in those with any elemental power but magic.
Water: Water is the rarest of all elemental affinities. It can be found in both boys and girls, but is usually slightly more common in girls. Water is the purest of all the elements. It purifies the earth to allow plant life, it is used to cleanse the body of impurites and dirt, clean wounds, and purify the soul. Those possessing the water affinity are generally pure souls who often think they are dirty and always seek purity and forgiveness for their actions. They themselves are generally forgiving and innocent individuals who put others before themselves.
Wind: Wind is neither common, nor rare, and is historically the most balanced affinity of the seven. Wind is free and unchained sculpting the earth along with water to create things of beauty. Carrying in water to replenish and purify the earth, it is a vital element within nature, not to mention it is the very element that breathes life into all things. Those possessing the affinity for wind are broad in range. From free spirits, to intellectuals, the many different attitudes the wind possesses. Those with especially high affinity to wind may have volitle mood swings that can switch instantly.
