Light. Because....light is everywhere, blanketing people with sunshine and warmth! Like me! :D

Besides, I need to get a tan. :)
Happy and friendly as always I see :D
Just keep the light out of my eyes if you'll be so nice, ok? =P

OT: Probably wind/air. With that, I could do pretty much anything. Like flying. Imagine being able to go wherever you'd want to go with barely any effort what so ever! Also, I like the wind...

It's either that, lightning or darkness, depending on what qualifies as an element.

Darkness, nothing more soothing than the dark. Plus its usually accompanied by quiet which is a rare blessing in our modern world.

Let there be Oblivion!!!

Yes, but then they wouldn't be the same, but very similar.

I only use this concept because of my books, just FYI.
I should rephrase then... Mastery of either Darkness or Light automatically gives mastery of the other. Therefore "Darkness and Light" is/are one element... Unless one assigns extended meanings of "Holy" and "Unholy/Profane" so often implied by Light and Dark, respectively.
EDIT: Two sides of the same coin.

I like to reference a nifty system from Might and Magic (specifically M&M7)... might be worth looking into if you're interested. You can also pick up DnD references, GURPS (which is by far the most encyclopedic pencil-and-paper roleplaying game i've ever had the pleasure of reading) books.

Also... What about some bigger metaphysical elements: Time, Space, Gravity (which i suppose is technically related to Earth), Mind (i'm putting that back in because even with the general "all life" definition, there are things not fully covered by Soul imo), and an even more awesome but generic element Energy (which has pieces of everything). Stuff to think about...

BACK OT: I for one, assuming my previous "Air" claim doesn't go through, would love to be a Time master. Time travel, freeze, stop (yes, it's different), haste, fugue (the ability to go back an instant in time and team up with yourself)... awesome.

That's a tough one, I would pick fire because I'm a pyromaniac, water because of how destructive it is, wind because it's my favorite element (neglecting the whole pyro thing) and earth because it's pretty hard to destroy a rock.

on reflection though, I would pick earth because it feels more like a defensive element, which fits my personality. also, earth has diamonds, so I could be pretty much indestructible : D

I'd probably be earth or water. I'm a fairly laid back, sort of mellow kind of harmless fella.

When I think element, I think Classical Elements:


Or:

None of that silly Light/Dark/Electricity/Whatever stuff.

OT: Earth
Isn't that bottom one the four humors?

OT: I would go with air, not the most destructive or powerful, but I'm a speed rather than strength type of guy.

Cue D&D Cosmological Map!



As you can see, opposite planes do not touch each other directly because they cancel each other out violently. Here we have:

The Elemental Planes: Earth, Air, Fire, Water
The Para-Elemental Planes: Smoke, Ice, Ooze, Magma
The Quasi-Elemental Planes: (Positive) Ligntning, Mineral, Radiance, Steam. (Negative) Vaccum, Dust, Ash, Salt
And the Energy Planes: Positive, Negative

OT: I like Fire. It burns stuff to a crisp.

well in pokemon terms water because that's the type I choose the most

in real world terms neon pair me with a lightning user and we'd be great at raves

in captain planet terms heart the most underused element

The universe/setting/novels I'm working on has ten elements, including earth, fire, air, water, lightning, light, shadow, forest, beast, spirit. In my world, all elements can include primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary effects, and can be modified for use by the ancient powers of chaos, destruction, creation, order, war, wisdom or magic, and can be modified further by the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.

For example, earth can mean literal earth/stone/sand/rock, or can mean barriers or blockades, or prisons, or a few related things.

Based on that, I think I'd choose air, because I imagine it'd represent physical air, as well as speed and travel.
What does beast do?
