The Four Elements
Super group The Four Elements used to be as close as family. Typical set up, two girls – Hydro girl and Miss Mineral, Two guys – Solar Flare and Captain Cyclone. Even families clash though and these guys went for it big style. The result lead to a boy-girl split in the group.
The animation begins with a newspaper headline - ELEMENTS SPLIT. The girls are upset over the split and how the guys think they don’t need them. Hydro Girl wonders if the boys are upset at all so uses her mind powers, with the help of a finger and a glass of water, to see what they are doing. The boys though love the bachelor lifestyle and are jumping on the beds at the thought of no more girls. The girls are furious and want to teach Captain Cyclone and Solar Flare a lesson. They come up with a plan to combine their powers and create a problem to show the guys they cant do it all on their own. Unfortunately for them though their plan doesn’t go quite go the way they want and they create a giant Venus Fly-trap that start tearing down the city. Captain Cyclone and Solar Flare eventually stop playing around to see that the city is under attack and they make their way to the scene.
Upon arrival they try to stop the Venus Fly-trap only to hit the girls by accident. This causes a fight between the Elements, the Venus Fly-trap looks on confused as their fights destroys parts of the city. The Venus Flytrap sees his opportunity and flicks the elements off into the sunset and the onlookers cheer the Venus Flytrap as the hero. The Elements wake up in hospital to new headlines of – OUR NEW HERO.

The Characters
Captain Cyclone
C.C is the leader of the pack, or at least he likes to think so. He’s mild mannered and the more mature of the two guys in the group. He thinks with his heart and always thinks of the consequences of his actions. Although young, he is wise above his years & understands when his team needs a break.
His powers include the ability to fly, super strength, breath and vision.
Solar Flare
As his name may suggest his personality is fiery, but only at times. He loves a practical joke and to be the centre of attention in any situation. He loves competition and his efforts to better the other members often result in trouble, but as the youngest member … who can blame him, he has a lot to learn. His powers include super speed and the ability to create fire instantly. His latest ability sees him learning how to split in 2 and create a perfect duplicate of himself.
Hydro girl
Hydro girl is the most beautiful and clever of all the members but this is also teamed with arrogance. A far as she is concerned she calls the shots but deep down she knows C.C is better at it than her. She sees this as a weakness within herself that often leads to a loss in temper. Her abilities include telepathy with the help of water and can shape shift. She can control all weather but it comes with consequences.
Miss Mineral
Although Solar Flare is the youngest of the team; Miss Mineral is the member who discovered her abilities last. This means that she is still learning about herself and doesn’t know the true strength to her powers. Her shyness & naivety means she looks up to Hydro girl as a role model, following her everywhere. The powers she knows about include shield generation and the ability to create small-scale earthquakes. Her closeness to nature means she has almighty power over plant life. Her reinforced skeleton means she is literally hard as a rock and a tough cookie when she eventually gets into battle.

Seams well thought out and like you know the backgrounds of the characters well, looking forward to the concept art!
ReplyDeleteLiking the concept so far, love the idea of the split and the ending will make for a good punch
ReplyDeleteline too :)
For some reason I immediately started thinking that they were giving interviews at the start talking about the split (where you wrote about hydro girl then finding out what the boys were dealing with the split).
Cant wait to see the character designs.
Cheers guys im hoping this idea sticks now, i have been through a few. Trying to get some colours on the characters for fridays lesson, we'll see though lolShould have some sketches to show at least.
