Elementalis Saga (Darth Wiki)/Characters

Characters in the Elementalis Saga.

Races of Elementalis
Teklarr

A Proud Warrior Race that live in the Realm of Wind, they look like humanoid birds. They wish to be left alone and don't like it when humans start to move in, but are willing to be tolerant.


 * Blow You Away
 * Humanoid Aliens
 * Humans Are Morons: They believe this.
 * Lawful Good / Lawful Neutral: Depends on the Teklarr.
 * Petting Zoo People

Levrin

A quiet elf-like race that lives in the harsh mountains in the Realm of Ice. They are seen as different by the others, and have been on the planet as long as anyone can remember. They have had the least contact with humans, as they are not willing to brave the cold. Also of note is that they do not see in traditional means, they rather see the "aura" of all objects, and they can even tell the intentions of others through a simple glance.


 * An Ice Person
 * Humanoid Aliens
 * Intrigued by Humanity: They wish to study the ways of Man.
 * Lawful Good (most of them)
 * Our Elves Are Different

Niknik

A major contrast to the Levrin, while the Levrin are quite, peaceful creatures of ice, the Niknik are loud, chaotic creatures of fire. They are not necessarily evil but their chaotic nature and their Blood Knight tendencies allow them to be swayed easily. Occasionally, one is born with intelligence that is superior to the others, and they are made to be the leader.


 * Chaotic Neutral
 * Chaotic Stupid: Besides the leaders.
 * Humanoid Aliens: Although they are probably the least humanoid-looking.
 * Ranked by IQ: Despite what their general nature may tell you.
 * Playing with Fire
