You are a member of a line of creatures that once lived in the world, the latest coming of one of the Elemental Five. These creatures, the Elemental Five, are five creatures who can each cast spells with one of five categories: time, water, air, fire, or earth. While these creatures were not the most powerful creatures in the world, they were unique in only having these five creatures at one time. The Elemental Five are reborn every time that they die, and you are the latest coming of one of these five creatures.
You have the power set of one of these previous creatures, and you are destined to deal with the problems of the past and present due to being a reincarnate of these ancient creatures. You were born a regular person, but as a child you realized that you were unusual when you had flashes of memories that you had not lived, as well as powers from the element you were reborn from appearing. Your background as a child may be varied, but your future is set in stone: you will, at some point, regain knowledge of your past lives and of your powers as you go on your adventures.
- Skill Proficiencies: Reincarnates are able to tap into aspects of their past sometimes, utilizing knowledge from ages gone that their past lives went through. This appears in a proficiency in History, Intimidation, or Medicine.
- Tool Proficiencies: If you are a Reincarnate of Quarris, Vapore, or Aeros, you will have a proficiency with specific vehicles that are connected to the element which you possess the powers of. If there is an internal combustion engine on a vehicle, Draconis will have proficiency on it, but Mementos possesses no special vehicle proficiencies.
- Languages: Reincarnates, over time, gain the knowledge of their past lives. You, as a Reincarnate who is only just regaining your memories, have relearned only one language so far. However, as you gain power, you will regain the knowledge of other languages. One language connected to you first, though:
Elemental Origin
Of the Elemental Five, you are the rebirth of one of these five creatures. While your race has changed over your many past lives, your element has remained the same, either time, water, air, fire, or earth. The original life you lived was named either Mementos, Vapore, Aeros, Draconis, or Quarris respectively.
| d5 | Elemental Origin |
|---|---|
| 1 | Mementos-Born - You have the ability to control time, whether it be through divination, healing, or a form of necromancy. |
| 2 | Vapore-Born - You have the ability to control water, whether it be through frost, fluid, or steam. |
| 3 | Aeros-Born - You have the ability to control air, whether it be through levitation, tornadoes, or a useful headwind. |
| 4 | Draconis-Born - You have the ability to control fire, whether it be through explosions, flaming weapons, or cauterizing wounds. |
| 5 | Quarris-Born - You have the ability to control earth, whether it be through earthquakes, plant growth, or dust storms. |
Feature: Elemental Siblings
As one of five Reincarnates of the Elemental Five, you have four people who you can speak to should you need assistance, each with their own community of alliances that they will often allow you to utilize. Additionally, they will help you with little reluctance, since they see you as their sibling from having all been born of the same circumstances. They are just as powerful as you are, but their power sets are parallels of your own in the four elements you are not born of.
Suggested Characteristics
As a Reincarnate, you are not only saddled with the emotions and understandings of your birth and life since. Instead, as you advance in power, you gain the traumas and memories of your past lives, with some of these past lives being very pleasant but many others being full of conflicts. It all depends on the fortitude of your current life how you will take to the actions of your past.

| 5 | Since I have been in every situation from my many lives, I don't often hate any races or classes. |

| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am journaling my memories as they appear to me, in case someone needs to know my past knowledge and experiences. |
| 2 | I have decided to protect the innocent no matter the cost due to my remembrance of sufferings from the past. |
| 3 | My past is fraught with flaws on the part of my past lives, and I try to make up for it in my current life. |
| 4 | I love and rely on my fellow Reincarnates, for they have become siblings by more than blood over our many lives. |
| 5 | The people who choose to fight with me are people I would easily die for. |
| 6 | There are few items that have been kept from my past lives, and I keep them close to feel safe. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I do not understand regular lifespans anymore since I have died often, so I am insensitive when someone dies because I forget that most people die and do not return. |
| 2 | Because I have died very often and remember these deaths, I go out of my way to preserve myself so that I can stave off this pain even if my suffering might harm others. |
| 3 | Since I have died so often, I don't feel the impact of death, and I am therefore likely to throw myself into dangerous situations without any thought for my death. |
| 4 | I refuse to work as a team unless you force me somehow, since I know that others are mortal and stubbornly wish to keep others out of danger even to my detriment. |
| 5 | My past lives have been on every end of the moral scale, so my morality may change if something occurs that makes me remember my past too long. |
| 6 | My past lives have made others suffer and I have died frequently, so I am desensitized to the suffering of myself and others. |
