Elemental Dancer AU

Element Dancers AU- people born under a specific month have the element of that month. Each year a Duel has gone on for the best pair or group of five to see which elements work best together and which are catastrophic when paired.

Monthly elements
Each month has a specific element tied to it. Under normal circumstances, these elements are the same throughout each day of the month. There are some exceptions (which will be talked about later) to this rule though.

January- The Month of Water
this month has the fluidity and flexible use of water as their gift. Able to strike at any distance, they can be a lethal force or a great defense.

February- The Month of Fire
The burning passion of fire ignites this month. While better at longer ranges and more of attack, this force is still a danger to those that mess with the users of this element.

March- The Month of Earth
The strong resilience of earth make for a good defense in this team. Capable of a near indomitable defense, these people can use that to their advantage and attack with tremendous force.

April- The Month of Wind
These free spirits have the strong gales to aid them. While having a weak defense, these people make up for it in a sharp offense.

May- The Month of Lightning
These people are able to strike hard and fast with lethal accuracy, but have a tendency to veer off course occasionally.

June- The Month of Metal
These people have a much stronger defense than earth and are very capable fighters. Their speed is lacking though due to the extra weight their element brings.

July- The Month of Light
These people have capabilities that are still not fully understood, but research has determined that these people are better for defense than they are for offense.

August- The Month of Darkness
These people have capabilities that are still not fully understood, but research has determined that these people are better for offense than they are for defense.

September- The Month of Wood
Otherwise known as the month of nature, these people bring forth splintering pain from the element they use. Strong and sturdy, but able to attack from nearly any direction, these people are good for both offense and defense.

October- The Month of Space
These people have capabilities that are still not fully understood, but research has determined that these people are better for defense than they are for offense.

November- The Month of Time
These people have capabilities that are still not fully understood, but research has determined that these people are better for offense than they are for defense.

December- The Month of Ice
These people are more calm and composed, able to use their icy element to full advantage as offense or defense. While not as flexible as water, they make up for it with a dangerous force.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Each element has another that it is strong and weak to, this is known to duelists as the Coin effect. Each element needs to be balanced out by another.
 * Earth & Wind
 * Light & Dark
 * Wood & Metal
 * Fire & Ice
 * Water & Lightning
 * Time & Space
 * Element & Element (for the odd elements that aren't quite known)

Exceptions
There are times when there are exceptions to the proper element month being messed up. These events cause a distortion in the balance of the element and more often than not causes the person to gain a different or new element. A person's Element may also change after a severe accident happens to them or they undergo near debilitating emotional stress.
 * Solar Eclipse- A special event that the sun is blocked out. Naturally, it strengthens Fire and dark users and weakens Light and Ice users. This event can also have adverse effects on what element a person is born with.
 * Lunar Eclipse- A special event that the moon is blocked out. Naturally, it strengthens Light and Ice users and weakens Fire and Dark users. This event can also have adverse effects on what element a person is born with.
 * Meteor Shower
 * Natural Disasters
 * Leap Year
 * Blue Moon/Harvest Moon
 * Demonborn/Angelborn- those born from an Demon or angel and a human often have odd elements.

Channeling the Element
One does not simply call forth an element, they first need to call their signature avatar to aid them in battle and to be able to use their element. Often the person needs to give their Avatar something in exchange for the temporary blessing. Sometimes the Avatar will not be pleased with the offering and refuse to give the blessing. In order to call their Avatar, one must preform the right dance which is taught to students of The Academy of Avatars.
