In the Devil Beater universe, most characters are aligned with one of eight different elements. An element represents different values and manifests in different forms. Each element possesses its own statistics and influences over combat; though two characters may have similar skills though they both manifest it in a different manner.
A character's element is usually a reflection of their personality, motives and morality. The higher tiers are more benevolent while lower tiers elements tend to be self-directed, but nonetheless are all tasked with equally important responsibilities to keep their team intact and balanced.
In Team Dimensionia, each member is assigned as the "Guardian" of their respective element tasked with keeping their element in check, such as Drakon Kyrane being the guardian of Agni.
There are two variations of names used to describe the elements, with different groups using different ones. Team Dimensionia use the weather formations, while the interns use the second name.

List of Elementals[]
Aether (Sky)[]
Aether/Sky, while being represented by the color white and the sky, do not follow any particular structure but instead support the structures of other elements, the sky that allows other elements to function properly and exist upon. Characters with this alignment yield strategy based combo attacks and rely on movement, likely for protection as the leader. Cielo de la Asad's attacks are multi-colored and focus on movement. Jay Lucero's attacks are predictable and focus on aiming direct fire to his targets. Uccide de la Leone's attacks are sporadic and disorienting. It seems that the color white merely denotes leadership and possibly freedom. The personality trait associated with Aether users are their powerful charisma, which is what compels them to be the leader of their respective groups. Cielo, Nick Nebula, Uccide and Jay, the currently known Aether members, are all the leaders of their own squads and organizations. Although they are not forced to be the leader, or even display leadership abilities, they can still use their charisma to their advantage. Cielo, for example, is mostly a figurehead, but he still has the natural leadership that the element grants him, so he is able to display his natural leadership when required. Uccide Is able to control a group of trouble makers by acting as a type of drill sergeant. Preserving and enhancing the welfare of those with whom one is in frequent personal contact (the “in-group”). Aether users are among the rarest element of them all due to the fact that a team only requires one leader. Associated single values are: helpfulness, responsibility, forgiveness, honesty, loyalty, presence, having mature love for others and true friendships. | |

Strom (Storm)[]
Strom/Storm is the element represented by red suits. It is associated with perseverance, fury and strength, usually manifesting as fire. Strom users excel in attacking power, demonstrated by Drakon Kyrane's extremely high damage output. Though, this leaves their defense to have something to be desired, as they are easily removed from combat, in comparison to the element's polar opposite, Flux. Personality-wise, they are honorable, brave, selfless warriors with the ability to perform selfless deeds and courageous acts when needed. Drakon has shown this before, early on in Act 1, when he rescues the Team Dimensionia members from a group of villains, as well as James Redon showing honor to his leader Uccide by agreeing to his every point and his ideas. Strom is a name used for various fire-related religious deities. Fire is the most common usage of Strom. Storm is likely derived from "maelstrom," which refers to a powerful whirlpool (Drakon), or a chaotic influx of something. Associated single values are: respecting tradition, being devout, accepting one's own portion in life, being humble, and taking life in moderation. | |

Flux (Rain)[]
Flux is the element represented by blue suits. It’s connected with order and disorder, and commonly manifest as water or an energy source similar to common depictions of ether. Another exhibit is that Flux, the element, will start off softly (order) but will eventually build up and over-flood (disorder). Flux users outclass the rest of the elements in some form of defense but suffer from attack power, parallel to the extremely high attacking power that Agni characters display. Rufaro Hyperius is one such example, focusing his skill set around his shield and having an ability that nullifies all damage for a couple of seconds, and December displays a reliable escaping skill with her water geyser. The personality trait attached to the Flux element is the urge to protect, whether they are objects, people or even ideals. This leads Flux users to be rather defensive when their beliefs are challenged, which could lead to some stubbornness. Associate single values are: ensuring national security, reciprocation of favors, ensuring family security, having a sense of belonging, preserving the social order, being healthy and clean. | |

Helios (Sun)[]
Helios is the yellow-colored element. It's values are unclear, but it's users manifest them from wild stimulus manners, sometimes even worthy of being declared unstable. In addition, most of its users are often irritable or uncomfortable to be around; Shuu is arrogant and narcissistic, Reggie Pereskia is a swindler who cannot be trusted, and Seth Nasmeh carries a decapitated head to use as a mace. Activation is the characteristic of the Helios Users, inheriting astounding skills that enhance the user to be able to do remarkable things, their skills out-matching the other elements in Power. But those gifted with this flame suffer from burning out easily or overusing their skills to cellular death (The sun shined as harsh as it could, but he didn't come back). This is truly an unstable flame, such characteristics can be express by an explosion; an enormous destruction that quickly dies out. Helios Users are distinct from the other elements, in that they don't have a specific statistic such as damage, defense or speed. They are actually represented by their skills alone which may take form in any statistic, such as their E, R or F. This goes the same way for their personality, as they may not be good in certain areas compared to all the other elements, they are just good at whatever they do or at least try to be even if they're not really good at it to start with and they help their team in this roundabout way. Helios users also crave for stimulation and do whatever they can to achieve this, either by arguing or being quite the dare devil. They are very enthusiastic in whatever it is they enjoy. Helios characters are very talented but do show struggles of an endless battle of containing their skills and also behaving themselves, they show very little discipline and can hardly control their eagerness, desires and passion. They usually lack self-control, such as Reggie's stealing habits or Shuu's mirror staring. Though sometimes they can be a little out of hand, they'll do whatever they can to benefit the team. Even if they're horrible at it.

Narukami (Lightning)[]
Narukami is the element represented by its energetic users wearing green suits. It is associated with the vanguard, solitude, and responsibility, and manifests either as energy or electricity. Hardening is the characteristic of the Lightning Flame, well-suited for shields and penetrating attacks. As shown by Ducasse’s speedy attacks who can strike enemies at a constant pace while others rest and reload; they are the quickest bunch in attacks from the rest of the elements. A common trait among Narukami users is also intelligence, often making them seem cunning or snarky at times, though they are indeed very intelligent individuals. The personality trait connected with Narukami is care and responsibility, with most of the Narukami users helping out their friends or providing a service that makes life easier for everyone. For example, Ducasse does the taxes and bills of the Alliance. The special trait of these Flames, Hardening, can be employed to harden and increase the firmness of objects. By themselves, the Flames can be used defensively by projecting a solid barrier and also offensively by cutting like a sharp blade or electrocuting like actual electricity. "And so the Queen of lightning stroke, but too soon. He can't be returned." Associated single values are: protecting, energetic, intelligence, care and responsibility, being nerdy or weeb-ish, solidifying Narukami is Japanese for "lightning," and is the way Ducasse manifests his powers. | |

Stratus (Cloud)[]
The Stratus/Cloud element is represented by characters who wear the violet suits. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. Being a combination of both the elements Agni and Flux they tend counter out each other and be quiet, kind, and conscientious Individuals. Cloud users tend to have the ability to support and heal their teammates such as Sir Venon boosting speed and damage of allies and Kai having a damage/heal skill. They generally help their teams in both defense (Flux) and attack (Agni); frequently manifests as a form of dark energy. Stratus users being a hybrid of Rain and Fire and forming the very cloud used to produce elements, they work well by themselves and don’t necessarily need the supports of other elements, and usually Ignore their team mates and see them as third party. Because of this, most Stratus users can support themselves and are commonly used to solo Bosses. They tend to be loners but are perfectly fine lending a helping hand to theirs team mates when required, but when doing so they mess themselves up and risk their self getting hurt. Noticeable trend Is that they are usually bad with multitasking between supporting the team and fighting the enemy, and usually only help in one area of Agni and Flux; A common mistake are users like Ultoris Tenebrae, whom can perfectly support himself but helps the team with more Agni than Flux. Compared to Haze users, they both share the need to fulfill personal goals--however Cloud characters are willing to do so in a more peaceful manner. Associated single values are: being obedient, having self-discipline, being polite, honoring, help the needy, preferring to work alone, bring evildoers to justice and seek unlimited good for others. | |

Haze (Mist)[]
A darker shade of purple represents Haze, known to be the most dangerous alignment and proven to be potentially harmful to those who possess it and choose to manipulate it. Haze usually focuses on forms of foul play and dark arts which can manifest in illusions. Haze users often use trickery to fool senses such as eyesight, hearing, and touch, which is optimally used for escaping or rendering the opponent vulnerable for an attack.They "fight without being there". A few examples are: Xenon who cloaks himself in a haze making himself undetectable by other enemies, Zam who possesses other characters to use them as pawns and armor to fight in, and Inechi who is a summoner of somewhat dangerous proportions, performing experiments at equal level. Most Haze characters require strategy and are considered very risky to play with. The personality trait associated with Haze users is that they all seek to accomplish a personal goal similar to Stratus users--but Haze users are willing to do anything to accomplish their goals, even if that means sacrificing things, even others in the process. Most Haze users have little regard for ethics or what others consider right or wrong, and will only perform tasks if it benefits themselves or their goals.They could also become corrupted by their own Haze powers as seen with Xenon, who went on a rampage and felt pure joy when given the chance to murder his old friends, and Gardi Nakara who seems to tease and play harmful jokes on his allies. Another common trait among Haze users is that they can hide their true desires or motions, enabling them to perform suspicious behaviours and even outright fake their personality (hint: illusions). One such example is Gardi, who was seen withdrawing important information from his team mates between him and Xor. Even though Haze users tend to be aggressive, mysterious, malicious, cruel and clever, that doesn't necessarily mean they're evil. There can be more 'positive' mist users, who follow goals such as "Become friends with a lot of people" or "Cure a disease". Most teams tend to lack a Haze member due to them being difficult to deal with. Haze users are known to be the second rarest. Associated single values are: Pursuing pleasure, unlimited freedom for self, cheating, tricking, follow neither good or bad, self-directed, Causing Chaos, Disorder, High-Ego, Believing what is right to self, self promotion and gloating. | |

Isotope (???)[]
Isotopes, while not an element, are the classification of those who manipulate the energy preserved from other element users for their own benefit within battle. Thus, their attacks become more bombastic, dealing higher spurts of damage at once and at possibly greater speeds. But they fall behind in a long term fight, or in using special on-hand techniques without the hefty requirement for bio-metric suits, expensive weapons and sluggish energy preservation units. This leaves these users typically incredibly slow if they wish to utilize their weapons properly. Those unfortunate enough to enter the field of Element warfare without an awakened element of their own will find themselves fallen behind the competition. Their personalities, because of this, can be wildly different, unlike users of a natural element, whose personality often defines their element. Outside of Xeiron Industries, it is an almost impossible sighting to witness an Isotope user in action. But the true gritting power of Isotope fighters lies when they wield their own inner power alongside the heavy arsenal of scientific weaponry appointed to them. If they can handle the price, that is. |
