Kitter Keep
The Original Six
Fire
Beauty resides within the flame,
Its warmth brings life.
This power its wielder must tame,
Lest their passion turn to strife.
​
Beautiful and destructive, fire is one of the most powerful and hardest to control original elements. Kitters that are born with an affinity for fire can learn to create, shape and manipulate fire. They love the feeling of summer heat, but the cold of winter can leave them feeling a little grumpy.
Kitters who possess an affinity for fire have a reputation for being quite passionate. They must be careful not to let their emotions flare out of control, though, for fire is fueled by passion.
It is often said that fire affinity Kitters and water affinity Kitters don’t get along due to the passion of the fire contrasting with the serene thoughtfulness of water. There is no actual proof that Kitters of these two elements cannot get along, but the stereotype remains popular opinion.
Water
​
It grants life and sustenance,
It is peaceful when balanced.
Do not allow it to lose cadence,
Lest its waves leave all silenced.
​
Steady and focused, the element of water is the most thoughtful of the original elements; Kitters who are born with an affinity for water have a reputation for being intelligent and calm. They can learn to manipulate and sense liquids.
Although Kitters who possess an affinity for water are quite hard to enrage, those who manage to anger them soon come to regret ever antagonizing them, for a water affinity Kitter is like an ocean’s waves. They are soothing when calm, but engulf everything when raging.

Earth
Strong and sturdy, refusing to bend,
Few can challenge stone.
The power of earth, who can contend?
None can break its backbone.
​
Steadfast and strong, the element of earth is the most persevering of the original elements. Kitters who are born with an affinity for the earth have a reputation for possessing strength that is matched only by their stubbornness. They can learn to manipulate the ground, mold stone as if it were clay, and gain immense strength. More often than not, these Kitters prefer to stay close to the ground and dislike heights.
Air
Swift and everchanging,
Blowing and always moving.
Welcome the gentle breezes,
Fear the mighty gusts.
​
Quick and flighty, the element of air is the most adaptable of the original elements. Kitters who are born with an affinity for air have a reputation for preferring travel and loving the skies. They can learn to manipulate air to allow them to fly or create gusts of wind. Be wary of tasking them with important things however, as these Kitters often forget what they were doing or have their interest caught by something else.
Void
Darkness dwells within the void.
Beware this element,
From your knowledge let it be absent.
For darkness reigns within the void
​
Believed to be dark and corrupting, the element of the void is considered taboo. Its power is strange and twisted. An ancient law states that Kitters who possess an affinity for the void are not permitted to breed with any Kitter other than one whose affinity is light or void, lest their child be born with one of the forbidden elements. Curiously enough, no one actually remembers why this law was passed. Superstition ensures that everyone follows it, though.
Breaking this law is a crime punishable by banishment to the Clawtooth Islands; a pair of islands that are under constant guard. The child will suffer no punishment, for they have no control over what their affinity is. However, they will have to suffer hate and distrust from others for possessing an affinity for a forbidden element.
Light
Brilliant colors, all you enjoy.
They are parts of beautiful light.
Peace and love and boundless joy.
They are parts of wonderful light.
​
Lovely and soothing, the element of light is considered one of greatest elements to exist. Kitters who are born with an affinity for light have a reputation for being wise and kind. They can learn how to heal injuries instantly or manipulate light to create illusions.
However, having an affinity for light does not automatically make a Kitter good. There are some Kitters who have taken advantage of this reputation and their ability to create illusions to pull elaborate cons that take advantage of the trust people have for them.
