"So...I've asked this before, but-"
"Yes, I am fire given human form"

"And does that-"
"Yes, it means I can burn anything I touch, provided it can burn."

"So can I-"
"No, you may not roast marshmallows over my head."

Suggested Characteristics
When creating a awakened weird character, you can use the following table of traits, ideals, bonds and flaws to help flesh out your
character. Use these tables in addition to or in place of your background's characteristics. With quirks, feel free to substitute in
your own ideas relating to the examples given.

d6 Personality Trait
1 My new life is a little strange. I make the most of it.
2 I abhor other elementals. They're bound by greed and power.
3 Why are humans and elves so strange? They all look so similar, yet they're so different
4 I love the natural world of the material plane! Much different than the elemental planes.
5 Who in their right mind would ever befriend me? I'm the strangest of my kind.
6 Um...I can do a cool party trick.

d6 Ideal
1 Power: No one will take power from me. Only I deserve to take power from others. It's why I was made, after all. (Evil)
2 Charity: Even with my strange upbringing, I still give back whenever possible. It's the least I can do for an amazing gift.

(Good)
3 Order: Despite my...unusual appearances, I still do what I can to uphold order, even with the elemental chaos swirling

inside me. (Lawful)
4 Freedom: No one should live under the rule of another unless they wish to. I work to help others realize the same

freedom I have. (Chaotic)
5 Survival: Survival of the fittest. No simpler rule in life, even the elemental immortals realize this. (Neutral)
6 Creation: Everyone can create, no matter their views on life. Even a strange being like myself. It's...calming. (Any)

d4 Bond
1 To my creator, wherever the old man is now. May the chaos be calmed in his astral wake.
2 To those I see as friends. For taking a chance on a strange being such as myself.
3 My enemies, surprisingly enough, have shown me the true meaning of loyalty and purpose.
4 Whoever gets in my way. Shows me that I'm going the right way.

d6 Flaw
1 I'm too eager to see what this world has to offer. I am often labeled as reckless for this.
2 If someone wants to fight, I will fight. Sometimes, I start fights just because I'm bored.
3 I shy away from fights unless I have to. Often times, I just straight run myself into a corner
4 I think everyone secretly hates me, most times to the point of paranoia.
5 If someone hates me, I hate them with every inch of my being. If someone is kind, I will be a loyal friend to a fault.
6 Why does everyone think I'm evil just because I'm elemental? It's that question that leads me to isolation. Even among

friends.

d4 Quirks
1 Sometimes your elemental nature can reveal itself more prominently. A little wave of water across your skin, a tiny rock

falling from your hair, a puff of smoke from your nose, a random wind whipping your hair gently, etc.
2 Whenever you are nearby a source of your elemental nature, it tends to motion towards you harmlessly.
3 Although you don't exactly need to impress humanoids, your base humanoid body is...more "noticeable"
4 Whenever you use elemental magic, parts of your body harmlessly shift to that element briefly. Even if those elements

conflict with your subrace.
