Prospective members of the Elementals, Inc. should be linked to one of the four classical elements (Air, Earth, Fire, Water) but that should be seen simply as a starting point, and a "hook" for the character. He/she should not be too similar to another current member (this idea is from the DC Legion of Superheroes).
The character should also have good combat abilities and 5% (at least) of the character points should be in non-combat skills/talents/perks.

The members of the Elementals, Inc. receive a comlink device which may be disguised as a pager or a credit card. It can function as a throat mike and contact transmitter/receiver. It also may be set to a low buzz "ring" or a vibration "ring".

One Ring-call the HQ whenever, we have some info or a mission that you might be interested in.

Three Rings-Emergency! Wake Up! Godzilla is attacking the city!

Past Members

Young female martial artist with fire magic spells. Retired from membership after meeting the Omen from P.S.I..

All members are hunted by VIPER, as they have foiled several money-making schemes of that supercriminal organization in the past. VIPER has also stepped up their resources towards the capture of the Elementals. Where the heroes first would encounter just agents, now they encounter agents in power armor and supervillains. Accounts of the adventures of Elementals, Inc. include their rescue of people from the fire/explosion at Cameron Lee (a research laboratory whose New York facility is just across the street from the headquarters of Elementals, Inc.) [Fire Fire Burning Bright], the recovery of gold stolen by the S-Men [Money for Nothing], and foiling several schemes of VIPER [On the Waterfront] [Grave Danger] [Block Watch]. They have also assissted UNTIL on several occassions [Water Water Everywhere] [Darkness] and have a terminal connected to UNTIL's MUNIN database.

Villains captured include the Flying Corlizzis (3 out of 4 members captured), the S-Men (all 5 captured, but 1 bailed out), 3 members of the a subterranean group known only as the "Shapers" (Sonic Sorceress, Creeper, and Crystal), and VIPER normal agents as well as some in powered armor.

Villains met include other members of the above groups, also P.S.I. [On the Waterfront] and forces of a Dark Lord in another world [Dungeons & Dragons]. A recurring "entity" was met on that world, and appears to have also been responsible for calamities on this one [Fire Fire].

Another recurring thread seems to be a "lost' superhero from the past known as the Red Falcon.
