Look guys! I'm already on a roll! (Don't expect it to last 
)
Here are two sheets that are rather overdue:
So to summarize, elementals (or at least the powerful ones) are sentient and more intelligent than any other lifeforms created so far. They're somewhat hard to fight/kill and if not thoroughly slain via magical means, they can sometimes manage to revive themselves albeit in a much weaker state. So they're something between living beings and forces of magic/nature, about as alien to animals as robots are.
Instead of souls, they have something called flickers. It's similar but the main difference is that these 'Flicker' souls are not under Reathos' jurisdiction and can't go into Wraith Stones or the Primordial Pool, be used for necromancy, or be reincarnated. Flickers just sort of appear in places where there is a lot of the energy that creates them (Zephyrion's Change and primal magic), so Galbar and maybe a few other worlds will start having Flickers but they won't just randomly appear on lifeless rocks all over the cosmos. Anyways, once a flicker soul appears it will animate the wind, earth, mud, fog, water...anything really, and become an elemental with traits and powers that somewhat reflect its composition and nature.
I know this all might be heavy and on the OP side, but their toughness is somewhat offset by how there are less than a million spiryts that are even remotely intelligent or powerful, and that number should stay pretty static on Galbar. Eventually I intend for a sort of shamanistic magic to be invented/taught/stolen by the mortals which would allow them to enslave and exploit the power of tons of lesser elementals just like the powerful ones do, which would effectively allow for a strange form of pyromancy, geomancy, etc.
@Legion02 I'm actually kind of interested in how Reathos will feel about these sorts of beings that don't properly die according to his rules, though I suspect he will hate them. For fairness I mentioned that @Frettzo Astarte's soul manipulation can be used to some extent on the elementals and flickers. And of course, other gods like Vestec could still corrupt or otherwise change flickers to make death elementals and all sorts of terrors; don't get the idea that I made the elementals conceptually different just so that they couldn't be messed with.
