Description
This sheet is a comprehensive list of all the affinities to date and the elements they fall under/are made from. Keep in mind, each fox only has one true "main" element. Even if that affinity is made from two or more elements, that fox does not have "complete control" over both elements, only a weak grasp on one, that aids it in creating it's affinity. Only Elders have complete control over more than one element.The four main elements are Fire, Water, Air and Earth. They work like this:
Fire: Fire can be created by mixing Kros energy and body heat, and then flinging it out into the air. Fire can also be controlled from naturally occurring places like lights and campfires, and it takes less energy than "creating" it.
Water: Water can be created by mixing Kros energy and moisture from inside the body and then manipulated. Water can also be controlled from naturally occurring places like sewer water or streams, and it takes less energy than "creating" it.
Earth: Earth can be created by mixing Kros energy with minerals found in the body and manipulating them. Earth can also be controlled from naturally occurring places like dirt and rock, which takes less energy than "creating" it.
Air: Air can be created by mixing Kros energy with air from the lungs, and controlled. But usually, it's taken from the naturally occurring air in a room or place, which takes less energy and is less dangerous than using the air from inside the lungs.
Now, on to the explanation of each secondary and tertiary affinities:
Electricity: Using flint or other flammable elements in the earth around them, foxes with this affinity use fire to create a spark and move it around.
Main Element: Fire
Secondary Element: Earth
Ice: Using the air to chill water, foxes create ice.
Main Element: Air
Secondary Element: Water
Sand: Foxes use the air to erode the earth around them, then use that same air to move it.
Main Element: Air
Secondary Element: Earth
Metal: Foxes find metallic substances in the earth, then use fire to melt it and use it either as an erosive liquid, or to form weapons to use in battle.
Main Element: Fire
Secondary Element: Earth
Wood/Plant life: Foxes use the earth and water around them to quicken the growing process and then use the water inside the plant to move it.
Main Element: Water
Secondary Element: Earth
Sound: Using the water in air and their own lungs, foxes can create an amplification of sounds.
Main Element: Air
Secondary Element: Water
Illusion: Using fire, foxes super heat the air, creating mirages.
Main Element: Fire
Secondary Element: Air
Ink/Paint: Using water, and minerals from the earth, foxes create their own unique paint or ink, that can be moved or controlled.
Main Element: Water
Secondary Element: Earth
Paper: Using earth elements to create their paper, foxes then use the air the air to move it and use it.
Main Element: Air
Secondary Element: Earth
Poison: By digging up poisonous earth elements and mixing them with water, foxes create deadly poisons which they can then control and use.
Main Element: Water
Secondary Element: Earth
Glass: By super heating earth (sand), with fire, foxes can create glass objects and use them as weapons.
Main Element: Fire
Secondary Element: Earth
Darkness: Foxes use the element of air to both put out lights (in order to create darkness) and to "melt" into the darkness by using water making the air murky and dark.
Main Element: Air
Secondary Element: Water
Light: Foxes use the element of fire to create light, but also to move it around using the air.
Main Element: Fire
Secondary Element: Air
Smoke: By using air to put out a fire element, foxes create smoke. By using their air element, foxes can move that smoke around.
Main Element: Air
Secondary Element: Fire
Blood: Foxes use their own blood (and only their own) to create a weapon, by hardening the earthy minerals and water in their blood. This is a dangerous affinity because it hurts the fox in the process.
Main Element: Earth
Secondary Element: Water
Phasing: By using the earth and air elements to speed up and move particles in an object, a fox can seem to "pass through" it. This is a dangerous affinity because if not done correctly, the fox will get trapped inside that object, or meld with it.
Main Element: Earth
Secondary Element: Air
As was previously said, these are all the affinities to date and the elements they fall under/are made from. Custom (new) affinities can be made, but they need to be pre-approved by an admin to make sure they fall within the rules.

If we're just starting which ones do we get to choose from??
π: 0 β©: 1
Any of the ones listed up there can be starting elements. The breakup of primary/secondary/tertiary is just to help clarify some of the more 'unusual' elements and how they 'function' in the krosfox universe. Like how Ink would be a combination of water (to make the ink fluid) and earth (the get the dye/color of the ink itself). An Ink fox doesn't have inherent mastery over water and earth, they just know how to manipulate those two elements just enough to be able to create and use their element. Kind of like how in real life, a hurricane needs both air and water to exist.
Hope that makes a little bit more sense for you. Sorry if my explanations aren't the most crystal clear.

are we able to have two affinitys or do we have to get kros (energy or beads?) to get another?

Are these the only affinities available?
Because I was thinking that I could have a fox with both darkness and light - and disclaimer, that he wouldn't ever really use.
π: 0 β©: 1
No... Right now these are the only ones. We usually accept new affinities (for instance, someone asked for glass) but only if they have a viable place in the Krosfox canon? Dual affinities that are made up of more than 2 elements (for instance, plants are made up of water and earth, so it'd be okay if your fox could do a little bit of earth moving or water moving) are usually only available to higher level foxes and Elders. However something like Darkness and Light (Water + Fire + Air) wouldn't be allowed because it's waay too advanced, even for most Elders.
I hope this makes sense?
π: 0 β©: 1
Now, I hope I'm not annoying by following up with some stuff, but, would I be allowed to give my fox that (darkness and light) if he literally never uses it before he reaches the level he's supposed to in order to be able to use it? As in, he never uses his affinity before he reaches the level a fox has to be before mastering that technique? Because I just found this in the gallery and before then, I had thought that we could have pretty much any sort of affinity. What I was planning to actually do, was, have his affinity be : "unknown" in the application until I made a comic where he finally discovers it. Because I really wasn't planning for him to ever use it until later. 
π: 0 β©: 1
It's been in the group for a while now.
It'd be impossible for that to happen. Your fox would die before ever getting to a level where he could use it. Foxes affinities are their only means of defense. This is a survival game, and without a working affinity, your fox... wouldn't live very long at all. Your fox needs to have a working affinity, beginning at infancy, that will grow and become stronger with age and the addition of tails. Having an "unknown" affinity isn't allowed. All applications must have a clearly marked, pre-approved affinity. It can be a custom affinity (a new type) but it has to be approved by an admin and follow the rules/guidelines.
Perhaps if you tell me what you were hoping it would do? I could help you come up with an affinity to match it that follows the rules?

Would I be allowed to Make it seem as if he himself didn't know his affinity but give various signs of it throughout any stories? Also, Could emotion be an affinity?
EMOTION: this affinity is a mix of fire and water. In the very beginning, an anemia with said ability would only be able to sense others emotions vaguely. However, as the ability adapted further, one would be able to shape the emotions of those around them for precise reactions. Also, they could feed off the emotions as an energy source. However, sometimes the anemias own emotions become highly unstable and as a result, and they become cruel and cold or fall into a horrific rage or fury. They can also suddenly develope heart clenching saddness. As a general observation, they are often unstable or unable to function well as this can take a toll on their mental, physical, and even social health. They are also generally distrusted because of their ability to manipulate emotions later on. Rare.
X3 would that work? also, the typing is because fire is anger, water is indifference/ saddness.
π: 0 β©: 1
As cool as that idea is, no none of this would work. I feel like you're not really grasping what an affinity is all about... I don't know quite how to help you understand.
Emotions in real life are not elemental. Your heart may be made of tissues, but your feelings of love are not. Everything in Krosfox is based off of realism- elemental affinities take into account how those real elements work. Like water being able to be made out of moisture in the air, or darkness being made by thickening the air into mist that hides someone and makes the dark seem darker.... Your fox will know (must know) right from the start what it's affinity is.
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, sorry about that. : (
Okay then one last thing:
Should i choose darkness or light? x3 i dont know (nor care between the both of them) which i want X3
π: 0 β©: 1
I can't make that choice for you. My suggestion is to put yourself in your fox's place. You live in the sewers (for now) and you need a way to survive. Which would help you survive more? Hiding in the shadows or being able to see in them? Sneaking up on your enemies or blinding them?
This is a role playing and survival group. If you can't think outside the box, or get into character.. then it might not be the group for you.
π: 0 β©: 1
eeeek, no!
X3 As you may or may not have gathered from my idea on emotion, I want my anemia's affinity to have a symbolistic sort of reason to it. He harbors a great hatred towards humans, so, because I know i can fit either affinities to the situation, i just need to choose one. The light fox who was filled with darkness in his soul or the darkness fox who overcame the shadows within. X3 ASK EMPI. I WANNA BE IN THE GROUP. Its just choosing between chocolate or vanilla - i know i will be satisfied with either, that I could use either, but i am unsure of which I should choose. X3 really, dont worry about it - sorry to bother you further...

Haha it's okay. To be honest I'm on leave from the group right now due to medical stuff... but I was fine answering your questions. I just... wasn't sure if I was getting through or not? We've had some crazy affinities people have wanted (time, space, etc) so emotion kinda made me irk up and wanna scream to the high heavens with frustration. haha, but no worries.
Alright I'm going to bed.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh my god, I was just thinking that i need to go to bed too! : 3 i have school tomorrow. As for time and space, i can see why you were irked. People might as well drop the charades and ask if they can an arceus fox or something. Anyways. I hope you feel better soon :]

Hey I was just curious
If my character were to learn the Water Affinity later on (she's an Earth Affinity right now)
Would that allow her to be able to use a combination of the two affinities to use an affinity that is a combination of the two?
What I mean is like she gains a second affinity. Then she has Earth/Water affinities. So by practicing the combination of the two she could learn to use ink/paint, wood/plant life, poisson, or even blood. But like making it so that she has to practice a lot in order to do something like that and also requiring a bit more Kros as well.
(I dont really know. This thought just hit me all of a sudden and I was wondering what you all thought.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Your Earth affinity works like this:
Earth: Earth can be created by mixing Kros energy with minerals found in the body and manipulating them. Earth can also be controlled from naturally occurring places like dirt and rock, which takes less energy than "creating" it.
Earth is generally a stand alone affinity. Now, as your fox grows, it may find that it actually moves the earth by moving the air in-between the minerals or the water in the molecules. This does not mean that your affinity will become paint, plant life, or poison. Your affinity never changes. What it can DO is what changes. For instance, my infant fox's affinity is water. Right now, had can only move straight water. But as he ages (maybe not till he becomes an Elder) he will be able to move the water inside of plants or the ground. He's still only using his specific Affinity- but how he uses it changes into something more mature. Does this make sense?

oh ok
i get it c:
thanks for answering my question
π: 0 β©: 1
Should light say fire + air? I'm a little confused...
π: 0 β©: 1
No. Your affinity's name is technically light. The elements you use to create light are fire and air though. So naturally your fox is better with Fire than air. As your fox grows, it will better be able to use it's secondary element (air) and use both straight elements (fire + air) and your affinity of Light (specifically light) better and in more creative situations.
I hope that made sense?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I've got it now. So that means illusions in later stages, correct?
π: 0 β©: 1
Perhaps... it all depends on what your fox learns as it grows. It may also turn into smoke or other things. It's an RP/task oriented group... so it's all about what happens and how you react to it. : )

I'd like to join at the next opening and I was wondering if crystal would be a credible affinity and if not, what would be the closest thing?
π: 0 β©: 1
I believe it would be. It would fall under a Water/Earth elemental heading, with "Earth" being the main element and water the secondary. Feel free to make your sheet and go into detail about your affinity in the artist's comments. Send any admin a link and we'll be sure to pre-approve of it so that when you apply it will be easier to join. Thanks for the interest! : )
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok thanks! It may be a few days just because I have school etc. to deal with but I'll definitely note an admin when i'm done~
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, okay, just one question; do we change the app to list the primary/secondary elements? Because my fox is smoke, and that's what is on the app. Do I change that to air/fire?
π: 0 β©: 1
No. Your affinity is smoke, the mixture of those two elements, so that's what you list. The reason elements have been explained in a dual sense, is so that members can a) understand how elements work, b) how affinities are formed (there's not just smoke hanging around all the time, sometimes your fox has to create it) and c) gives members a chance to see and think of more creative ways to use their affinity. For instance, since your affinity is smoke, but it's made using air and fire, this gives you a chance to think of how your fox might use that air or fire in any given situation (will your fox attempt to light the way? Or blow out a lamp?). Keep in mind though, that your main element (Air, in this case) is the one your fox truly has a grasp of, versus your secondary element (Fire in this case) is one it struggles to use, and will struggle with until it reaches maturity (becomes and Elder). This is why infant foxes have a hard time controlling their affinity- they cant grasp using multiple elements at a time very well, and only Elders can truly do it.
I hope this made sense. Thanks for asking!

So, is Shiba's air/spirit affinity still credible?
π: 0 β©: 1
To be honest, it never really did follow group guidelines? But after a lot of deliberation, we admins figured out a way in which it could have a similar idea, but still be what we think you were looking for?
I believe your fox's main affinity would be fire. It would have the ability to force things to overheat and explode (not just spirits, but rocks, water, etc.). I think it's secondary affinity would be air. As your fox aged (grew) it would be better able to "float" things in the air, light them as a ticking bomb, and then throw them at a target so they'll explode. I know this isn't quite the "spirit" and "mystical" thing I think you originally intending, but I think if you'd like to still keep those aspects, you could work them into your fox's personality. Does he think he sees spirits where other foxes can't? Does he talk to them, like imaginary friends? How do the other foxes react to this? Perhaps sometimes, he thinks he sees one and sends a "fire bomb" at it? These little aspects of your fox and how his personality and affinity relate are up to you. And I'm honestly looking forward to how you create and grow these ideas. All we admins ask is that your affinity, totem, and Kros gaining follow the basic rules.
So far, in terms of your affinity, I'd say "Fire" (because this will give you a larger range of things to do with your affinity, and allow you to "ignite" and make more "bombs") , but you can go into detail in your artist's comments. I hope I explained this okay? Thanks for being so patient with us and understanding through this whole process... I know it's been really crazy and annoying.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, well... That's a lot of text.
Making things float and throwing them at enemies and making them explode sounds quite nice, but this is where the multiple element things comes on the way. I mentioned it before, and you said it'd be allowed, but I didn't explain it quite through. Shiba has one bead in his string now, and it's designed to explode like fire. The beads grow in amount as Shiba levels up, but the rest of the beads are all going to be different colored and thus they would represent a different element. There's going to be nine beads in total, so, in total, nine elements would get represented. However, this doesn't mean that Shiba would be able to control all these nine elements. Only the beads and fox-fired would slightly represent the elements and the explosions/whatever-effects would be based on these elements. So, simply, Shiba wouldn't have any control over elements in the nature, but the fox-fires would contain a little amount of the elements in them and utilize them from within, not from the outside.
SO, if Shiba would be able to make things float, throw them and make them explode, the explosions would include the multiple elements.
And, about the spirits, Shiba is actually able to see spirits of dead things, just like some real people are able to see ghosts and communicate with them.
... so, how does this sound? If there's anything unclear, please do tell me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, this all sounds fine... except that Shiba would have an unfair advantage over other foxes, because even if he's not able to directly control them, he does have access to all the elements. Not even Elders have that ability, so it'd be unreasonable to think Shiba would? I think if you like having the idea of Shiba's beads being elemental... then perhaps they'd all be one specific element? Which would be his secondary element. Then his primary element (air) would be what he uses to throw them. I think if we labeled this (like how some people have "ink" or "illusion") it'd be "incendiary?" It's defined as "used or adapted for setting property on fire: i.e. incendiary bombs." so... Incendiary? The ability to make something set on fire or explode? I think we should still run it by Fox and Empire, to see what they think (lately... people have been ignoring me and telling me I'm not a "real" admin... so....) I'd like to get a second opinion from them, if that's okay. They should be on around 8pm EST time? Thanks so much for working this out with me! I'm so glad we're able to think this out and make it apply to the rules, but still be really close to how you wanted it. : )
π: 0 β©: 1
This is why I thought that multiple elements weren't allowed : D I had a hunch, but I had to make it sure.
Hmm, this "incendiary" doesn't sound bad. So, in the end, Shiba would have a dual affinity of air/incendiary? I would happily receive that, but would it mean that Shiba could make OTHER things float and explode BESIDES from the fox-fires? If he could, I'm still going make him able to make only the fires explode at least for levels 9 and 8, if not even up to 7. After that, he'd be able to make other things fly and go boom, little by little.
And yes, getting opinions from the other admins is fine. I'll be waiting for them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Technically Air (primary) and Fire (secondary) which together form "Incendiaries" or firey bombs that blow up when thrown through the air. Since Air is his main element, he's not too good at making or controlling fire by itself, but yes, he can control other things with his air element... although still shaky because he's so young. : )
