The Primordial

More than just angels and demons walk the wastes after the Rapture. Elemental creatures of all descriptions roam, too. Much like the celestials, these elemental creatures may dally with humans for many reasons, and humans may also find themselves suddenly infused with elemental energy.

Primordials are these people. They can be described in four broad groups- Ifrit, the primordials of fire, Oreads, the primordials of earth, sylphs, the primordials of air, and undines, the primordials of water. They look broadly human, but almost always possess some trait that betrays their elemental nature. Ifrit have red or bronze skin, horns that sprout from their brows, hair that dances like flame, or even more ostentatious traits. Oreads are commonly solidly built, skin that looks like stone or gem, hair like spines of crystal, or eyes like liquid metal. Sylphs are usually thin and delicate, with pale blue or white skin, markings that swirl across their skin, or hair that dances in an ever-present wind. Undine are very similar to sylphs, but darker of hue, and often have fins or webbed appendages.
