			=== The Elementals ===
			It would be quite useful to attempt to categorize the heroes into sub-classes based on the elemental manifestations of their powers; According to the Hindu festival of [http://www.dalsabzi.com/Language_Festivals/navratra.htm Navratras], or "nine nights," there are elemental ''chakras'', into which we may classify [[evolved humans]]:
