I don't quite know why I want to show this to people but for some reason I do. These are the PC's in my game. Each has a few special abilities related to an element and are made up using 32 point-buy. Each has benefitted from a +1 inherent bonus to a random ability score (from RttToEE, under the Moathouse dungeons). There are also a couple of things that are unique to each character, which have been gained through gaming. The unique things are as follows:
Alarallen - has been conversing with a being known as the Dreamspeaker (in my world, elves dream... which is just as well seeing as Sehanine, an elven goddess, governs the realm of dreams...) and has thus been able to gain ranks in Lucid Dreaming. He also has a spell called Alarallen's Ice Blade which is identical to Shelgarn's Persistant Blade except that the dagger is made of ice and does cold damage rather than being a force effect. He plans on mastering Lucid Dreaming and eventually creating his own dreamscape. He is also the only one who will be taking all his levels in the one class.
Eco - is a lesser tiefling. Essentially this is a tiefling without the resistances and thus just a regular character race (no ECL adjustment). Has also made his own poison called Wormcrawl (because it is a cross between Purple Worm Poison and Carrion Crawler Brain Juice) which has a DC of 20, an initial effect of unconsciousness and a secondary effect of 1d6 Strength loss. Also has a spell called Effigy which essentially envelopes him in either flames or smoke, providing either 1d4 extra flame damage or a +10 bonus to Hide.
Kouros - has begun creating his own religion based on his philosophy that all the religions of neutrality and good should combine to combat the unbalancing effect of evil in the world. He plans to take leadership next level and begin the expansion of the religion. He has gained his half-celestial template (I allowed this in game) through a deal made with a solar whilst waiting to be ressurrected. He may also be taking a prestige class we both worked on but he's yet to aquiesce to my balanced and reasoned thinking on the matter
Matuhiti - originally a Flannic sorcerer, he also gained his aasimar abilities through a deal with a higher power of good whilst awaiting ressurrection (my PC's don't go to another plane like normal, they go to a special dream-scape created for them by the Dreamspeaker). Again, this is a lesser aasimar which is essentially the aasimar without the resistances and in this case (due to there being no negative to ability scores), without the skill bonuses either. He has made many of his own items and some for the group as well. He intends on becoming an Arcane Devotee of Celestian and then an Archmage. Judging by how often he decimates my NPC's now, I'm dreading him getting them... The Totemic Glyph of Hotoru is a spell he made up and I refined.
In addition to this, all of them represent an element. They do not yet know why they were blessed with these powers and nor do they know why they have met each other in the Dreamspeaker's dreamscape for their entire lives. That is part of why they are on the journey they are now on.
The powers they gain are resistance to the chosen element (air, earth, fire, water) equalling their hit dice and a spell every five levels. The first spell is 0th-level and at 5th they gained a 1st-level spell and the 0th could be cast one more time. This will continue so at 10th-level they will gain a 2nd-level spell and the 0th and 1st will be castable one more time per day. All the spells must in some way be representative of the element the character represents. For the definitions of this representation, we used the Oriental Adventures definitions for the shugenja.
The orbs of the elements, listed in their equipment, are potent magical items which are related to their destiny (they have discovered this and also a prophecy which states they will destroy the Champion of Elemental Evil). So far, the only power they can manifest from them is the spell Mark of Air, Earth, Fire or Water from Monte Cook's Book of Eldritch Might, once per day at 12th-caster level.
