Elements
Elements are things that people have an affinity for. Every single person has an element, but the strength varies from person to person. The type of element varies, and some are inherently more rare than others. It is used almost like a horoscope at times, since people tend to behave in a likeness to their element. Depending on the times and culture, some elements are shunned or discouraged, and in the past were even prosecuted. In these enlightened times, that no longer happens- at least on the surface.
The element they have and the strength can create attacks or give a person an advantage at their job. For example, a person with the charm element would be naturally gifted at politics or other fields where interacting (or manipulating) people is key. The element is somewhat random, and rarely changes during a person's life. Families can have a general element, and towns, groups, or areas differ in what elements are more common or not.
