More removing of Microsoft Word formatting. Also, note there\'s a difference between tactician and strategian. Tactics are battle maneuvers, essentially. Strategies are battle plans. Sanik\'s the strategian, the man with the plan, who comes up with what to do—M is there to help make it work the way Sanik wants it to. More or less, anyway.


Sarge is the [[TheBrute main combatant]] of The Elementals, always blunt and to the point, but is by no means the headstrong typical [[FieryRedhead Fire]] Warrior--Sanik and Tyra always take into heavy consideration anything he says, for his words carry wisdom as the man with the most years of [[ShellShockedVeteran war-torn]] [[OldSoldier experience]] of the group. The strongest of The Elementals, Sarge’s stubborn [[TheDeterminator endurance]] has helped the team pull through the [[DarkestHour toughest of times]], allowing them in the end to persevere against all odds.

M is the main spellcaster of The Elementals, doing the best job possible of staying out of harm’s way—and this willingness to avoid direct confrontation carries over to M’s personality: M is the tactician of The Elementals, who fills the gaps in Sanik’s strategies. While M’s methodical and logical approach is considered too conservative and prone to being incomplete, M’s vast array of wisdom and know-how has allowed M to guide The Elementals through situations that would otherwise have been certain death.

(Editing to remove Microsoft Word Formating.) *ahem* As I was saying before I accidentally hit enter, Sarge\'s has a small ramble dedicated to explaining what he really means. Tyra\'s describes how she can be the Only Sane Woman at times, and is The Medic of her team who keeps them alive. M\'s demonstrates M\'s pragmatic approach to matters, also hinting at M\'s rather bad backstory, because face it—in M\'s situation, you\'d feel like the cosmos were cheating you, too. :P

Tyra is TheLancer of Sanik, his support in more ways than one, and is the main reason that the team was formed. Her preferred approach to things is a little more passive than Sanik's, and this applies to combat as well: she's the team's [[TheMedic healer]], and employs [[DishingOutDirt Earth Magic]] aided by [[TheArcher archery]]. It is due to her [[TheHeart kind nature]] that The Elementals have continued to exist as long as they have.

That fresh start also signified their fresh choices in alignment, all having changed from what they were before to be darker. They love the thrill of adventuring, but don't really care anymore about the lives of others--just themselves. Their overall goal is the same as The Elementals, but their motivation is different: they want '''''revenge'''''. The truth coming out is just a pleasant side-effect of that. They're still "good guys", but only because they're fighting people worse than themselves.
