Species name: Aetherians
Appearance: Small, robed beings that have red glowing eyes piercing from their composition.
Powers: Arcannix - This special power allows for the development and control of elements, based on 10 cardinal elements. While most can branch from only 3 elements, on occasions it can be 5, 7, or all 10 as well, with higher being rare. These elements are Fire, Lightning, Ice, Wind, Water, Earth, Light, Dark, War, and Mystic.
Strengths: Their elements give them extreme control over such, allowing them to do simply amazing things over just about any species.
Weaknesses: Due to their elemental affinities, their personalities and composition can be literally translated based on their current elements. For example, Fire beings are reckless, passionate, and a little too brave for their own good. Dark beings can never be trusted. Water beings are extremely great merchants. Etc...
Culture: Surprisingly enough, their cultural life is based on the principles of enlightenment. Instead of relying on rules, regulations, and authority, they have a surprisingly efficient government based on prioritizing their elements of which they have simply amazing control over. Due to this extreme fanaticism, however, they are the virtual epitome of extreme thinking and coordinating in the first place, so diversity is almost abhorrent in their society, in spite of their massive number of potentials.
Government type: Confederacy. This tightly knit government is the only one that could fit them do the their extreme elemental natures. Not only do they live bound by their elements, but their whole society is literally structured around such.
Backstory: See culture. Can expand if necessary.
