If HARTHSEAR is your Primary Element,
You pave the path forward through sheer willpower. As long as it's for something, you'll press on. Yourself? A loved one? The greater good? Maybe all three. Whether you step up as a leader or assist the process as a follower, your loyalty is nothing to be questioned.
If HARTHSEAR is your Secondary Element,
You're stuck in a loop of action without creation or self-reflection. Your determination can only get you so far; you must be ready for risk and sacrifice in order for your decisions to be meaningful. Otherwise, the heat of passion will only leave behind destruction.
If KRYSTOR is your Primary Element,
You value precision and delicacy with a sharp eye. Societal convention is your fixture - even if you are in a subservient role, at least you are accepted and validated by the status quo you serve. It's in your best interest to uphold it... though whether you do so is up to you.
If KRYSTOR is your Secondary Element,
You strive for the dignity one would expect of a respected figure. However, while you present a particular image of yourself, there are cracks under the surface. Internal flaws create a internal instability, splintering the self into personas that stray further and further from their origin.
If BOTONIC is your Primary Element,
You have a connection with the natural world, as you yourself have grown and evolved with it. As a result, you find purpose in nurturing and guiding life, so that your past experiences may be the soil for a better future. Which is for the best, since you've gone through a lot.
If BOTONIC is your Secondary Element,
You're accustomed to a worldview built on survival and self-preservation. You care about others, but your empathy lacks true understanding and connection. What helped you grow may not be what other people need, so your version of 'greater good' only truly helps yourself.
If CHEMIKO is your Primary Element,
You are deeply sensitive to the nuances of society at large. Whatever garners a reaction is what draws you in, making you a fearless and experimental artist as well as an eloquent and scathing critic. Once you start speaking, it'll be hard to take the attention away from you.
If CHEMIKO is your Secondary Element,
Your cynicism becomes a toxicity that leaves no one unscathed. This hatred seeps inwards, creating a self-loathing that cannot distinguish meaningful critique from blind judgment. Bitterness is an addictive emotion, because you'll always find something to blame.
If HYDROCEA is your Primary Element,
You are an explorer at heart, endlessly fascinated by the great, incomprehensible world that surrounds you. With travel comes a better understanding of the self, particularly your role in the bigger picture. Since you matured early, you're largely independent, relying on intuition.
If HYDROCEA is your Secondary Element,
You are lost, swept away by forces unknown. Either you've strayed from your true potential or have sunk deeply into a purpose that's far outside your realm. You're so stuck in your head that escape seems futile, leaving you apathetic at best and horribly misguided at worst.
If VOLTECH is your Primary Element,
Your eyes are pointed squarely towards what's ahead. You're highly in-tuned with all kinds of modern advancements, ensuring that the future grows closer and closer to the present. You're the one coming up with ideas no one else would ever think of; no one can match your pace.
If VOLTECH is your Secondary Element,
You may be drawn towards the future, but you lack a clear direction, leading to stalling or treading on too many paths at once. You may appear lethargic, lacking pace compared to your peers, or overly ambitious, your desire for progress clouding your better judgment.
If is your Primary Element,
You embody the firm hands and creativity needed to build upon the existing world. Everything can be improved, and every idea has potential for execution. You yourself are likely part of the building blocks of society, since you understand what truly stands the test of time.
If is your Secondary Element,
You are full of ideas, though you lack the discipline to sit still and put in the work. You see such labor as 'beneath you', relegating it to other people and depriving yourself of hard-earned experience. Your personal hardships are, more likely than not, purely your own creation.
If PTAERO is your Primary Element,
You thrive on the lifelong journey of questions-and-answers - not just possessing knowledge but also coming to conclusions your own way. You like to flit in and out of groups, providing levity, wit, and common sense without being tied down. You're a free spirit, after all.
If PTAERO is your Secondary Element,
You ache for freedom. From obligations, from expectations, from your own limitations. Whatever it may be, it's weighing down on you. Maybe you're biding your time until your great escape, but until then, you'll always be at the mercy of something greater.
If POLIWAVE is your Primary Element,
You understand people to their core - their feelings, their desires, their thought processes - so you can inspire beauty and meaning through human connection. You know you're the most emotionally intelligent person in the room. You could persuade blood to spill from a stone.
If POLIWAVE is your Secondary Element,
You like people but have unconventional ways of expressing it. As a result, you're isolated, unable to form the meaningful connections you yearn for. Whatever bonds you end up with are a result of keeping your true emotions under the surface. And once they break free...
If DRACOIRE is your Primary Element,
You have a strong connection with the legacy - your family, your culture, your people. Through this connection to a larger, older whole, you ensure that important history won't get lost to time. You will preserve, protect, and innovate upon all that was accomplished before you.
If DRACOIRE is your Secondary Element,
Your background isn't one you're proud of. In fact, there's nothing you want more than to start over, be reborn anew in a fantasy world where you won't be burdened by the sins of the people who came before you. But no matter far you run, your fate has long been decided for you.
If FODDA is your Primary Element,
You wield nature's bounty to the benefit of everyone around you, simply because you live to serve. While life has its ups and downs, the highs find you quite easily. Perhaps it's because you relish what others don't, leaving you sated when others would remain starved for more.
If FODDA is your Secondary Element,
You're never satisfied. You'll find small ways to stave off the emptiness - your worst vices come at your lowest moments - but in the long-term, you're digging yourself deeper and deeper into a pit that's getting harder to climb out of. Soon, no one will be left to save you.
If GEISTOL is your Primary Element,
Your belief is your strongest tool. You know that there are forces greater than one could ever imagine, so you place faith in life, in death, and in the meaning that can be found within. Through rites and rituals, you receive mental peace... not to mention results.
If GEISTOL is your Secondary Element,
You're obsessed with your own mortality. Death will find its way into the deepest recesses of your being, enough that you will slowly but inevitably grow more and more out of touch with the living. Something haunts you to your core. A voice that sounds all too familiar.
If TERAFORM is your Primary Element,
You have a fine grasp on structural integrity. What you wield will bend but never break. After all, everything is bones, blood, and flesh - just like your own body. And as much as the shape is manipulated, realizing its potential through different forms, the frame remains sturdy.
If TERAFORM is your Secondary Element,
You're too stubborn. You're constantly pushing your body past its limits, believing that you'll be satisfied once you've attained some arbitrary milestone. But in reality, you're confusing pain with gain. If your excessive 'training' hasn't broken you already, it will soon.
If YUPHAN is your Primary Element,
Your mind is just unmarred by the limitations of reality. Your greatest skill is thinking outside of the box, because people are all too often hung up on 'rules' and 'normalcy'. But you know that everything is subjective; therefore, anything is possible. You just have to will it into reality.
If YUPHAN is your Secondary Element,
Your inner child has never left. In fact, they're your most trusted guide, enough for naïveté to override logic and reason. You want the world to be as simple as you thought it was, so it is. Your dreams and desires will eclipse reality, leaving you in an eternal fog of innocence.
If GALUCTUS is your Primary Element,
You denounce worldly desires and strive for true enlightenment, the result of living a pure and virtuous life. You hold yourself to high standards so you earn honor and pride. When the time comes for judgment, you have confidence that you'll be rewarded for your efforts.
If GALUCTUS is your Secondary Element,
You know there are greater truths otherwise invisible to those mollified by their own ignorance. You won't follow the spotlight; instead, you'll embody it. You'll determine the real for yourself, and once you have it, you'll show it to the world. Even if its purity renders everyone blind.
If NOXIE is your Primary Element,
You're drawn to the unknown - not out of fear, but out of understanding and respect. Emptiness is just an opportunity to fill the void with something new, something better. With such a unique perspective, it's no wonder your sense of style and identity are like no other.
If NOXIE is your Secondary Element,
You face the ills of society, the dark dredges of the human mind, the abyss lurking at the edges. It's utterly perverse, and it disgusts you. That's why you've dedicated yourself to it. You despise being controlled by fear, so you've become someone who wields it against others.
