== Game Theme ==

I'm considering centering the game around astrology to provide some<br />
originality as well as a basis for everything concerning the players'<br />
god-like abilities. As such, I've already started correlating each<br />
in-game element with the starsign it most resembles in characteristics:<br />


----

'''Fire''' is under '''Aries''', rambunctious and passionate.<br />
'''Water''' is under '''Pisces''', intellectual and passive.<br />
'''Earth''' is under '''Taurus''', steadfast and rock hard.<br />
'''Wind''' is under '''Gemini''', manipulative and lively.<br />
'''Ice''' is under '''Scorpio''', forceful and ever-changing.<br />
'''Spark''' is under '''Libra''', dynamic and easy-going.<br />
'''Holy''' is under '''Leo''', zealous and faithful.<br />
'''Dark''' is under '''Cancer''', intuitive and cunning.<br />


Those signs left over are Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Virgo.<br />

I'm considering giving Spark another sign in favor of making Libra the<br />
innate starsign for those of Neutral element who aren't influenced by<br />
any signs, since Libra is a symbol for balance.<br />

----


The basic idea is that those who train in a particular area of magic or<br />
physical ability are, in fact, training underneath the starsign of that<br />
school in order to harness the power of the stars as their own. I think<br />
this could give the world a good, realistic feel that may balance out the<br />
wild fantasy-ish action that will probably go with gameplay.<br />

I'd appreciate feedback and opinions on how I can better match up these<br />
signs to other elements of the game so as to mesh all sciences and beliefs<br />
in the game world into one truth.<br />
