ELEMENTALS
Name of Species: Elementals
{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}
Baseline Dimension:
Element Form: They are literally sentient elements of any kind. They can possess any shape, or be shapeless. By default, Elementals are genderless.
Human Form: Can have the same physical size, shape, weight, etc as any human. While they are genderless, that doesn't mean that can't choose one, or shapeshift into whatever gender they choose at the moment.
Baseline Appearance:
Element Form: They are elements, and look like that whatever that may be. A blob of water, a floating flame, smoggy darkness, ethereal orbs of light, whisper of wind, a wandering boulder, etc. However you choose to be represented, as long as it's a pure element.
Human Form: Eye color, skin color, and hair color can run the rainbow and change on a whim if they wish. They can even adjust their body sizes and display very light characteristics of other species such as horns, tails, wings, non-human ears and eyes, etc if they wish, but their shapeshifting is limited to predominantly human. When human, they are fully tangible.
Culture/Origin of Species: Without the elements there would be no life on any planet, thus elementals are everywhere. They have existed since the very first days, and will persist until the last. That is not to say all elementals are eons old. Elementals can die when damaged beyond healing or if they choose to release their souls and move into the aether of their planet. They can reproduce and are encouraged to do so as renewable and necessary resources. Some can even be "birthed" by other species, most often fire.
Some elementals live life in solitary, while others form tribes or even towns and exist together in whatever form that takes. There is no over arching culture for all of the species, though it may develop naturally where groups of them are found and varies heavily from one elemental to the next. While many elementals never choose to take human form or reveal they are anything other than simply the element they are, ever since they have gained the ability to shapeshift into a tangible human form, more and more are choosing to live out their dreams every day.

Traits:
• Intangibility in element form allows most physical forces to pass through.
• Elementals can release and control the element they are made of while in either form.
• Though their human forms can take damage as usual, they do not possess vital spots. No one spot on the body will cause more damage than another, and they 'bleed' their element. However, just like humans, if they bleed too much, they can become incapacitated or even die.
• Healing and regeneration for an elemental takes about half as long as it would for a human, and they can regenerate any part of themselves as long as it hasn't been trapped and separated from them.
Flaws:
• Even though they can be intangible to basic physical touch in element form, they still be trapped in containers and still take damage from non-physical talents and abilities. If part of the elemental form is trapped or somehow separated from the rest of the being, the elemental becomes incapacitated or permanently damaged, more or less just as a physical body without all its vital parts would be.
• Elementals are naturally weak to their corresponding opposing element.
