Breath
Breath permeates, its presence often forgotten, rarely perceived, until one quickly feels its absence, or its explosion into thunderheads of rage and fury. Breath is both the air in one’s lungs as well as the currents of the sky. Their emblem is the light azure gust on the deep blue sky, and Heroes of Breath must learn to assert themselves socially.
Heroes of Breath are creatures of creativity, inspiration, and empowerment; specifically, the empowerment of others. They think in grand, broad, sweeping fashion, seeking to elevate lowly concepts into nuanced philosophies. Heroes of Breath are dreamers and leaders, heroes and riders. They are the breath or the breeze, the storm or the devastation. Sweeping across bodies and hearts, the whirlwinds bend the soft and crush the rest. Flight and speed is a great preoccupation with them, and they feel great joy when the Windy Thing manifests for the first time. Quick to blame yet quicker still to forgive, everything is of the same gravitas to a Hero of Breath, which would make them ideal for objectiveness if they weren’t so enthusiastic.
