I have probably given more thought than is healthy to what my elemental attributes would be if elemental attributes were actually a thing. And my opinion on my strengths and weaknesses tends to vary a little bit according to what I'm doing.
I can fairly confidently say that I'm not Earth element. I don't like getting dirty and I'm deeply uncomfortable any time I have to climb something rocky. That said, I do like mountains and caves, so perhaps there's something there.
My ever-present flatulence is probably cause for attributing the wind element to me, but I feel that's too easy a target. Wind element tends to be associated with… well, various things according to the particular interpretation. It can be anything from "gentle healing breeze" to "eviscerating blades of the cyclone", and I'm not sure any of those quite match me.
Fire element is, I suspect, the element everyone would like to be, because who doesn't enjoy flinging fireballs around? However, I don't like being too hot, so I feel that kind of precludes me from being fire element. Unless being fire element makes you immune to the heat. But then I'm not immune to the heat, so I still wouldn't be fire element. I can get quite angry about things, though, and that's a bit "fiery"?
Being water element is something that pops into my mind every time I go swimming (like I did this evening) and recall how much I enjoy simply existing in the water. I'm not a strong swimmer and I'm not good at complicated things like holding my breath, keeping my eyes open and not sucking water up my nose, but I do simply enjoy being in the water, whether it's swimming gently along at my doubtless excruciatingly slow pace, or just lying back, floating and relaxing.
I guess I could be ice? That's watery, and I enjoy winter sports video games. I am also more than capable of being (usually accidentally) cold and emotionally distant, which I feel is an essential part of an ice person's personality.
Or maybe I'm one of those weird elements you get in games where they want more than four elements? I don't think I'm light. I could be dark. Definitely not holy. Probably not evil. Don't think I'm poisonous. Lightning would be cool, but I feel that also implies speed, which I emphatically do not have.
I think I'll say I'm water and dark-type for now, with the possibility of evolving on class change. Gotta leave one's options open, after all.
