THE FIVE ELEMENTS&DIETIES:
Legends tell of dieties that reside in peace and tranquility, each in their own fortress. Five dieties to be exact. Each of an element that surrounds us to this day. Fire, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth.
Each element is supported by the preceding element.
The element Water is nourishment to Wood.
Water can be represented by ponds and waterfalls.
Water being a vital for all plants.
Wood is an element that can be represented as any kind of plant life from new shoots, bamboo, oak, houseplants and massive pine trees.
The element Wood in turn is the promoter of Fire.
Without the fuel of mature wood, we would not have Fire.
The element Fire is represented by flames and electric lighting.
If the fire dies down, it becomes ashes.
Fire is the promoter of Earth.
Earth or soil is stable, nourishing and rich.
Given more time and pressure, it will consolidate and settle further from ashes to soil and to hard rocks.
Earth is the promoter of the element Metal.
Any mineral that is mined, metallic objects or money can represent the element Metal.
Each element is nearly perfectley in balance to each other,
one supporting another.
Thus, since the deities hold and preserve the elements, if anything were to happen to them, or the totems that guarded the fortresses,
Imbalance would take place, leading the Land into utter catastrophe...
THE FIVE SHRINES&FOUR TOTEMS:
"At the heart of Chinese mythology are four spiritual creatures; four celestial emblems, each guarding a direction on the compass."
(http://urlcut.com/ca4)
The four celestial animals reside each in their own shrine.
These shrines are spread across Nadir; usually located where their element is prominant.
"Each animal has its own colour: the Dragon is the Green of Spring, the Bird the red of Fire, the Tiger of Autumn the glittering white of metal, and the Tortoise; black, for night, or water."

Ryu
Azure Dragon of Wood.
Byako
White Tiger of Metal.
Suzaku
Red Bird of Fire.

Genbu

Earth has no animal; it is represented by everything living.
The Earth Shrine contains the compass alter, where each direction has a designated spot.
The elemental compass is said to be the key to entering the Five Fortresses.

An unknown evil surfaces the land of Nadir as the newyear falls. The sinister plan to harness the essence of the five elements that provide the essentials to life would soon take place. Everyone would soon find out why there is nothing to celebrate this year, soon enough. Hungry for knowledge, the shadow made his way through the land until he found a portion of what he seeks. Its first target; the shrine of the earth diety in a small village.
Aware of the arrival of the shadow, Yoko, sage of the earth shrine, makes her way to the entrance with haste. The rain doesn't cease to pour and moments later the evil-annonymous makes its appearance.
With full intention of defending the city, Yoko provokes the monster and sacrafices herself with the outcome of sealing the evil away in time. Anaru is too late, and comes just in time to witness the death of his mother. Without a home any longer, Anaru is forced to leave the village.
The next day Anaru discovers a note left by his mother, telling him why she had sacraficed herself and where he can go.
Anaru sets off to the mountain town far-east of the village with only the essentials to live.
After a long journey through various terrains Anaru reaches the entrance of the mountain village, where he is ambushed.
When he retains his conciousness he finds himself in the house of two kind townspeople who had taken him in.
Anaru finds that he cannot stay there and later is led to the Temple.
He is taken in the temple and is forced to learn their ways.
Six years later・ ・ ・
The day after the first eclipse of the year, Anaru feels the need to visit Yoko at the village sanctuary.
Upon praying for her, he is comfronted by the spirits of the Five dieties.
The seal of the evil has been broken once again, and Anaru is pleaded to take action and offered the ressurection of his mother.
Without any regrets, Anaru sets off on a journey to banquish the reign of catastrophe once again, for good.

DESCRIPTION:
When the game starts Anaru is roughly ten years-old. Anaru grew up with both his father and mother until he turned seven. Anaru's father left for unknown reasons. Anaru is a very sensative character but is very strong and always pulls through tought situations. He can feel when something unfortunante will happen before it happens (he doesn't feel well on these occurances). Somtimes Anaru can be seen as quite an arrogant character but he really only has a short temper. On the night of his mother's death, Anaru is filled with vengance and the only thing he wants to do that day on is revenge the death of his mother. During his time in his small village, Anaru only learns the basics of combat but when he goes to the temple in the mountain town he dedicates himself to learning the ways of the monks. For six-years Anaru is taught how to be a 'monk' in almost every way possible. Instead of using any weapons in specific to fight, Anaru uses his fists as his main weapon.
Throughout the game, Tane and Anaru become really good friends, despite their differences.
Anaru's favorite thing to wear is the uniform he used while learning at the temple. A vermillion colored button-up collar uniform shirt with tears at the shoulders, a pair of withered black slacks, a bloodred sash, dark navy blue slip-on shoes and various buddhist looking beads hanging from his wrists. He has dark jadegreen eyes that look almost black, almost caramel colored hair, and has somewhat of a tan. During his time at the temple Anaru recieves an emblem on his left arm (a tattoo of some sort).

Tane is a very cunning and resourceful boy, in touch with nature and the five elements. Anaru and Tane first meet at Tane's hometown where the shrine of wood happens to be located. Even though Tane is older than Anaru, he looks up to him since the day that Anaru saves him from an unexpected ambush. From that day on, Tane agrees to tag along with Anaru on his quest. Tane's usual attire consists of a tattered tree-bark colored vest, torn black slacks supported by his favorite belt with a popular buckle, assorted arm-bracelets with the shrine emblem on them, a worn-out scarlet scarf that can pass off as a small cape, arm bandages and a pair of brown and white gaiters.

CLASSES&SUBCLASSES:
As you may have read above in the character descriptions you might have noticed that each main character has a main class and a subclass.
To start off, all of them are "adepts" of certain elements. ("KanyuShia", looking for a shorter and easier to use name.)
Their class determines what sort of elements they can use.
Their subclass determines their fighting style overall in combat.

Monk:
Masters of spirit and martial arts.
Weapons: Fistcuffs, Charkrams and Poles.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v36/Z ... tions1.png[/img]
This very effective way to fight is convinient since weapons aren't depended and on, but can be used. Surplus stamina and some chakra is the key. 'Chi' (magic) is not frequentley used but when used usually released by using their 'beads' when necessary. Becoming a monk requires endurance, patience and time.

Kitsune:
Abilities: Impersonate, Fox-fire, Illusion, Kindle...
Element: Fire
DESCRIPTION:
The Kitsune is a fox being with human-like features. It is a prominant creature in Japanese folklore. Kitsune makes it's appearance in 'Elan' as a sort of mini-boss guarding an item of value. "Sometimes kitsune are depicted guarding a round or pear-shaped ball (hoshi no tama or star ball). It is said those who obtain the ball can force the kitsune to help them;"
(http://www.therianthropes.com/kitsune_powers.htm)
Mandrake:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v36/Z ... keTile.png[/img]
Abilities: Jab, Root Smack, Restore, Remedy...
Elements: Earth&Wood
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v36/Z ... Attack.png[/img]
DESCRIPTION:
A plant type monster based off the mandrake root (a root that strangely resembled the human figure both male and female).
The Mandrake posseses both physical and magical abilities. Mandrakes usually attack if they are stepped on or pulled out from the ground; they usually are by confusion.
If you are wondering in the pictures above why the Mandrake is holding mochi and being cute, is because he appeared in one of my school projects for german class.
Monderer:
Abilities: Humongoulp, Rapid Glance, Tread Slap...
Element: Earth or Water
DESCRIPTION:
The Monderer resembles a lizard and sloth combined to an extent. It lacks a true spinal cord therefore, always slouches. It also has a very thin but long tounge that droops from its mouth. By using its chi energy focused in his humongous lung, the Monderer can nab positive enhancments from its opponent. It wanders around alone always, it can never seem to make friends or find family because it is a freak.
