Is your character aspected to a certain element?

If so. Which one(s), and what is it about that element that resonates so strongly with your character?

Hermes for example is highly attuned to wind. In terms of astrology (not making a scientific case), this element is mutable energy, and associated with eccentricity, unstableness, deep thinking, and intelligence. IOW, the element is well chosen to fit his personality.

So how about you, champions of Hydaelyn? Entertain the idea for a spell or two, and give us some of your character's lore.

My drk is attuned to depression unforts

I mean that used to be something you could actually see in game. Choosing one of the Twelve determined what you were most resistant and most vulnerable to. In my case, Azeyma was chosen so my character was most attuned to Fire.

Ironically, Halone aligned characters were weakest to Fire as Halone's one of the two Ice aspected deities.

Yea, it's called Gun

Then Ice it is, instead, lol!

Fire. Definitely Fire. It's a trait that has been passed down through the ages since my ancestor, Trogdore. To burninate is a thing for us.

The only valid response to this is pistols on the field of honor at dawn.

Water

It's linked to her out-of-game RP origin so when I brought her into XIV it manifested as an affinity with water. She's ironically a devotee of Llymlaen, who is a wind deity, though that's mostly because Limsa is Home.

My eternal hate will torment your soul until the stars flicker and fade into ash and darkness.

the element of surprise

Ice aspected.

Which only makes me sad considering the only ice themed weapons we can get are just shiva, and half-zurvan. And that's only for pre ShB jobs.

The things I'd do for a Shiva's Diamond Wings... or just a new ice-themed extreme trial.

My chosen goddess was llymlaen the navigator.
Aoi loves the wind element so it fits her the most i guess.

Earth. Boring but stable. Those who are builders and cultivate life.

I'm going to say chaos and mischief and Grapes? Those are elements right?

Thunder I guess, cause I picked Byregot.

Going by what the deity option used to do, my character's element would be earth, since I picked Althyk.

But, if it were up to me, he'd probably be lightning aspected.

Fire, because Enki is a Sunseeker miqo'te and her Guardian is Azeyma, the later is fitting because my own Zodiac sign is also fire aspected (Aries). :D

I swear it has nothing to do with her having red hair and blue eyes though.. honest. :p

Elemental resistances along with allocating attribute points (AP) were still a thing when I joined during 3.1. I even remember melding the elemental resistance materia, only to find out later that they didn't help much. Iirc, SE did away with all of that in SB.

As a Lunarian, my character has an affinity with the moon, and naturally gravitated towards Menphina. But that does not mean Halone's influence isn't also present. Creating the 'War and Peace' nature of her duality that comes with being ruled by the 6th Heaven.

I guess it goes without saying now that my character's element is ice. Oddly enough, she has a deep admiration for Byregot and Rhalgar and has studied under their principles far more than Menphina's and Halone's, but Lightning is undoubtedly the element my character has the least amount of affinity to. I suppose this plays out with my character choosing to go against the grain and study forms of melee combat, even though her natural gifts are tied to wielding magic.

The icy aspects of her nature are more internalized, so you probably wouldn't guess her element is ice based on behavior. I suppose that also goes to show how that element plays a role as even though it is representative of strength and determination, it is also calm and rests in the intangible. It also goes to show that Lightning needs very little influence to make a big presence.

This is umbrally aspected 'food' element.
At the other end of the scale, you have the astral or 'spicy' aspects.
Chillies = astral fire
Ginger = astral earth
Mint = astral ice
Citrus = astral lightning
Fizzy = astral wind and water

My character is associated to Fire and Earth.

Because I made it so that he was captured by Garlean soldiers and rather than put on the Hypertuned project, they tried to make him into the Hashmal CE. But it was botched and the resistance got to him in time to administer some of the tempering-reversing cure, which did reverse most of the effects of the transformation but still left him highly skewed to Hashmal's elements. The Garleans simply retreated and abandoned their test subjects and just did their usual thing elsewhere, with some other poor sod being Hashmal'd.

I use everything.

I chose Oschon for this character, ruler of the mountains and god of travelers and vagrants. Primarily I chose him since it made somewhat sense considering my character is a Viera who left her homeland, so paying homage to the god of travelers would fit in with her lore nicely. Had to look it up though, but it seems like Oschon commands the Wind, so I guess my character's element would be associated with Wind.

Incidentally I made his patron deity Oschon, made him main brd (at the time), and had him live in Limsa (though I started in Ul'dah I just prefer Limsa)

So yes he is

I would think the player character is Water aspected, since Crystal of Light we carry around is a Water one.

Which is ironic because we barely use Water elemental attacks.
